I started this post with the intent to laugh about how the bachisagi break-up was too dramatic coz it's not like they won't ever see each other again, but then it hit me... There actually was a big chance they won't ever see again.
"It's all over if we lose again..."
"And if we lose again, you'll be the one who gets stolen. I won't be chosen..."
Isagi was full-on panicking here. If he gets kicked out of Blue Lock, then he really never will see Bachira again. It's why he's so depressed.
The two pages below are really important in providing the context for those panels above
"In that moment, my head still hadn't fully grasped... the meaning of what I lost here that which I now have to chase."
Not including the image, but there's also this line: "I feel like I just lost something important."
Isagi had made the egotistical choice in playing against Rin's team despite knowing the risks involved... But it was only after he lost that he actually understood what exactly he was risking. It wasn't just the threat of getting kicked out of Blue Lock and having his dreams crushed. It was also the possibility of losing Bachira, his friend, as well as the first person who ever believed in him.
Thus, Isagi spent the rest of the second selection arc dead-set on winning Bachira back. He doesn't care about having such an amazing player like Rin on his team anymore. He just wants Bachira back 😭

Isagi smiling at Bachira
I went through the entire manga, and would you fucking believe it that it took four volumes to see Isagi smile at Bachira????
The first smile is from Chapter 28:
It's not even a smile just for Bachira. Isagi is just brimming with excitement at the challenge to surpass himself.
Now I'm pretty sure Isagi's smiled at Bachira off-screen, maybe when they're fooling around with other Team Z members. But there was never a panel showing it. Until chapter 28, Isagi just mainly had this speechless/moved look when looking at Bachira.
The anime has really spoiled us by giving us Isagi smiling at Bachira as early as episode 5:
In the manga, it was just another one of Isagi not really knowing how to react to him:
The gay panic is real
Anyways, I've gathered all the panels of Isagi smiling directly at Bachira/specifically because of Bachira. This is to make up for missing BachiSagi appreciation day, hehe. If I missed any, feel free to add them in a reblog.
Manga spoilers ahead!
After the Team V match, Isagi starts smiling at Bachira more:
Look at how gentle his smile is:
Look at him all happy and being able to talk assertively and not being disliked for it:
Isagi learning how to flirt after being separated for so long in the Second Selection:
His smile here is so soft:
They are so familiar with each other now:
They look so happy together:
Them flirting during the U-20 match:
And this?
This is beautiful.
A little blush when Bachira offered to let him have a taste of his dessert:
Remember, Isagi likes being given sweets.
Before they're separated in the NEL arc:
When they see each other again:
"Bachira, it may just be you on that stage now..."
There are literally stars in his eyes:
god I love how they always make promises to each other:
Isagi is so fucking in love, your honor, I can't
