Metavision: A technique that goes beyond simply looking at the ball or opponent in front.

Activation Conditions: 1. Wide field of view and spatial awareness for smooth information gathering. 2. High football intelligence (IQ) to quickly process the vast amount of collected data. Characters capable of using Metavision are limited to Yoichi Isagi, Sae Itoshi, Guest, Oliver Aiku, Ikki Niko, and Hiori Yo. FLOW: A state of extreme immersion in football where distracting thoughts, anxiety, and noise completely disappear. A player in this state performs optimal plays reflexively without conscious thought. How to enter FLOW: 1. When morale is broken by despair and fear. 2. When faced with appropriate hardship that requires squeezing out everything one has. So far, the only ones who have activated FLOW are Sae Itoshi, Guest, Rin Itoshi, and Ryusei Shido. With the increased number of participating countries, the tournament proceeds from Group Stage -> Round of 32 -> Round of 16 -> Quarter-finals -> Semi-finals -> Final.
