YEAH that's something I've always thought about, because it's not like she ever stopped anything Ego does. She equally monitors these boys on the cameras and sees them break down, but doesn't do anything about it. She's just as responsible for these guys being as fucked up as they are.

“anri cares about the blue lock boys” “anri is like a mother/sister figure to the blue lock boys” “anri is kind to the blue lock boys” meanwhile this is anri with kunigami:

SHE DOES NOTTTTT GAF ABOUT THEM 😭 they are a means to an end for her!! obviously she doesn’t hate them and of course she was happy they beat the u20s but let’s think critically here…was she truly proud of them as people or was she just happy that the program wouldn’t be shut down??

the narrative (especially via her interactions with ego) treats anri as someone very naive and dumb, but blue lock and hiring ego were HER idea. everything that has happened to the boys is a direct consequence of HER actions, decisions, and dreams of japan winning a world cup. let’s not forget she’s also only 3 years older than aiku, kaiser, and sendou — she has no interest in taking care of a bunch of insane high-school-aged soccer freaks, she literally just wants her country to win the wc because she herself is a soccer freak!!

SO HOW WE FEELING AFTER THE FINAL GUYS

A lot of people are talking about Ivan's hypocrisy with Sua and how he berates her for sacrificing herself for Mizi and becoming a source of trauma for her and then he did the same thing, but there's a heartbreaking perspective on this.

Sua and Mizi loved each other. The love was reciprocal. Sua died KNOWING Mizi loved her. Ivan's dislike of her comes from the fact that she knew damn well what her death would do to the person who loved her and she did it anyway. She KNOWINGLY hurt Mizi in the worst way possible while still claiming to love her.

Ivan? Ivan's been drilled for YEARS that Till DOESN'T love him. His love isn't returned. It's very possible that he just believes that he won't be a source of trauma for Till, because Till doesn't love him. So he can die for him all he wants. Of course, the elephant in the room is that we no longer know what Till thinks of Ivan after he kissed him and sacrificed himself for him, but that's AFTER Ivan is already dead. He had no intentions or expectations that what he did would actually hurt Till. And there is something so unbelievably sad about that.

Alrighty then let's see if we can figure out what these flowers symbolize from tiny photos shall we.

This is either a lavender or a purple hyacinth, both have meanings that would fit these two.

Lavender Associated with royalty, elegance, luxury and generally high status. It's also associated with peace and serenity due to its calming effects.

Purple hyacinth Symbolizes deep regret and sorrow, generally either used at funerals or to ask for forgiveness

This one was really tough but I THINK it's a red trillium??

Red trilliums are generally unappealing flowers because they smell really putried, like a wet dog, in order to attract flies. Symbolically, they represent recovery; the ability to overcome life's challenges with dignity, strength and grace, and inner connection between one's physical and spritual self.

Very obviously a yellow pansy. They are pretty solidly stated to be a flower symbolizing optimism and joy

Right next to the pansy is a purple carnation, if I'm not mistaken. Has MANY varied meanings.

The most common one is capriciousness aka unpredictability. Giving it to a loved one is basically saying: "I can't tell what you're going to do next." Which can have both positive and negative connotations.

The second most common use for purple carnations is for funerals to express condolences. It can also symbolize a sincere "I'm sorry." when given to someone as an apology.

Lastly, some people associate the flower with success and wealth, but that has less to do with it being a carnation and moreso that it is purple.

Don't think I would miss the other pansy. But honestly, I have no idea whether this is a white or purple pansy, which was...incredibly annoying. But both have suitable meanings and can honestly represent BOTH of them.

White pansy Symbolizes innocence and purity

Purple pansy As with most purple flowers, symbolizes wealth, royalty and high status

I think this is a white lily but honestly, it could be any white flower and I'd believe it. But I lean towards white lilies.

Has a strong meaing of hope and purity, new beginnings, rebirth etc. It is a very popular flower to be used at weddings.

Me upon seeing this new Blue Lock official art.

“Nagi is sooo adorable!!”

“Hmm, For someone who is supposed to have white as their color, you sure have A LOT of purple flowers.”

“Wait, it that-“

“Why is bro making a flower crown😂”

“Dude can’t even feed himself, what on earth could possibly motivated him to take up arts and craft despite being half asleep and have to be physically supported by a teddy bear to even sit up right?”

“Nwm, forget I asked’

Whitesnake. Listen. I am severely allergic to seafood. And one time at a Japanese restaurant, I decided 'fuck this' and gobbled up a giant plate of tempura.

So worth it. Tempura is fucking delicious.

The Narrator is definitely one of the most complicated characters to think about, because while his motivations seem humble at first, even selfless - He wants to rid the world of death, and sacrificed himself to do so, he is INCREDIBLY full of hubris and also extremely selfish when you think about what he does.

Not only did he think that he could convince a God to do this deed, but he UNFAILINGLY refuses to acknowledge the Long Quiet's individuality or even the idea that he has emotions or can feel pain and death. He is fully committed to the idea that killing the Princess and leaving the Long Quiet to essentially just rot away, is a good thing. It's almost like he sees himself as being ABOVE these Gods, and even gaslights the Long Quiet at the very end: "You wouldn't understand the fear of death, you're a God." He's shoving his opinions at us that we're an indifferent being, totally different from him that couldn't possibly understand the pain he's suffered or the fear of death, despite the fact that we have MULTIPLE voices that explicitly fear death and pain.

Then there's the selfishness. Like you said before, nobody knows he built the construct. He hatched up this plan without ever telling or consulting anyone. He never stopped to think if this might be a bad idea, or even just to get a second opinion. This plan of his is literally the most SERIOUS THING that impacts all of life, and he believed he could make that decision for everyone and everything. By himself.

Say what you will about his sacrifice and whatever pain he might've experienced, or his desperation, but the Narrator is undoubtedly THE most selfish being in the entire game, who feels absolutely no remorse for what he's done.

just…what kind of trauma did the narrator go through for an empty expanse of nothingness to be his idea of paradise?

Everyone from NH to NARSAK to even SNS tries to find parallels between minakushi by looking at superficial similarities like who looks like Kushina or who has the same expression or gestures as her. But people are only looking at the superficial as usual in the Naruto fandom.

Sasuke doesn’t look like Kushina. He doesn’t have the same personality as her. He isn’t a woman. He’s a far more complex character than her too since well he is Sasuke while Minato/Kushina mostly exists to enchance Naruto’s character. But Kishi couldn’t have been more clear when he wrote about love.

Minato was the only one who cared and was persistent enough to save Kushina. Kushina said Minato changed her.

Even Orochimaru could see how much Naruto was changing Sasuke and saw that as a threat to his plans. Sasuke himself acknowledged Naruto alone had become his most intimate friend. Kishimoto wanted to make a point that it’s Naruto specifically who has this effect on Sasuke, not Sakura. And Sasuke himself acknowledges Naruto is the ONLY one who never tried to cut him off, or never gave up on him (take that SS!) and that Naruto was the one who saved him (take that SS!). In both cases, when Kushina and Sasuke had no one else to come to their aid and save them, they had Minato and Naruto. Why do you think Sasuke says “my one and only”? Because no one else had his back, and no one else can have such an effect on Sasuke. SS can cry about how he says “friend” but Kishi really couldn’t have been more clear Sakura had nothing to do with helping Sasuke or changing him. Sasuke himself said he needed to kill Naruto to kill his last connection. Because he loves Naruto.

I have talked about this many times before but there’s a clear parallel in the Kushina chapters and in the Boruto movie, where Kishimoto makes Boruto ask Sasuke about Naruto, in a similar fashion as when Naruto asked Kushina to tell things about Minato. Now why didn’t Kishi make Hinata tell Boruto about Naruto? Because he doesn’t see her as Naruto’s other half, or relevant to begin with. Just as her bento is ignored in Gaiden, she is ignored in the movie. Naruto is also told that Minato was able to achieve things because he had Kushina by his side. Sasuke is constantly being said to support Naruto as the other Hokage. Meanwhile Hinata can’t do anything for him in the movie.

 SP even tried to steal from Sasuke by taking the scene of him telling about Naruto to Boruto to Hinata! As if them stealing from Sasuke before wasn’t bad enough. There is also a filler scene where Naruto compliments Hinata’s cooking. These filler scenes exist to damage control Kishimoto’s writing. Afterall, he’s the one who wrote Naruto ignore Hinata’s bento and think about Sasuke when receiving it, him sleeping on the couch and him refusing to go home. However, unless you are a shallow consumer you can see through all this nonsense. Hinata and Sakura are both written as selfish and sheltered, they have nothing in common with Naruto and Sasuke. And Kishi knows this. Naruto knows Sasuke saved him, and Sasuke knows Naruto saved him, and that no one will love them more than they love each other. And anyone with a decent reading comprehension and emotional intelligence can tell it too.
