Where Blue Lock Season 1 Will End...

Okay, so I was looking through the chapters still left in the second selection and i THINK i have an idea of where it will end, with near certainty. This is also mostly me rambling and trying to soothe my nerves about seeing certain characters in the anime *cough cough*

*obvious manga spoilers for any anime onlys :)

(Putting it under the read more cause this got somewhat long lmao)

I know that a lot of people want the season to end on chapter 93 or 94 (mostly 93), me included, and I actually think that's the only possible ending they'll do.

For one, episode 22 ended off on chapter 84. With Bachira's awakening and Isagi jumping in at the last second.

From there, there are 5 more chapters before the world five match.

Chapter 85: Rin's goal, Isagi gets chosen.

Chapter 86: Isagi's depature from Nagi, Chigiri, and Barou, and he goes up ahead with Rin, Bachira, and the others.

Chapter 87: Ego's whole ass speech about luck - introduction to world five

Chapter 88: We spend time with this team of five, then it switches to Reo and Kunigami at the 2v2. Shidous introduction (!!)

Chapter 89: 2v2 match up w/ Shidou & Igaguri vs Reo & Kunigami

After this, they jump straight into the 5v5 with the world five. I absolutely do not see the anime ending in the middle of the match. It just makes no sense to end off a season right there, and then make the anime onlys wait possibly a couple of years to see how it ends.

So that means that either A. they end the season BEFORE the 5v5 or B. they end the season AFTER the 5v5.

And either way, the anime only has 2 episodes left.

In option A, that would mean stretching out the 5 chapters across 2 episodes, which would mean 1 episode with 3 chapters and 1 episode with 2 chapters, or 2 episodes with 2.5 chapters each.

The anime has not done episodes with less than 3 episodes since the very first 2 episodes, and those were because they were very long chapters and it was the beginning of the anime (specifically for episode 1).

Chapter 85 is fairly short, and Chapter 89 is mostly the 2v2 match and full of action, so it goes by quickly in movement.

With the pace so fair, it would feel really dragged out if they stretched out these 5 chapters into 2 episodes. Their pace rn is average 4 episodes per episode, with an occasional 5 chapter or 3 chapter episode. It just wouldn't make much sense.

That leaves option B. The world five match ends on chapter 92. The anime has no other choice but to continue the season to include the 5v5, and with how chapter 92 ends off, that is DEFINITELY not a place to end off a season.

(It ends with Isagi saying something about needing to catch up to Rin to compete with the world's best, so yeah not an ideal scene to cut the anime off)

On the contrary, chapter 93 is where the second selection fully ends and the teams are brought forward. And to be honest, while rereading it, I could practically hear the end credits playing in my head as they introduce the teams. How could it NOT be the perfect place to end an amazing season off?

Shidou's dramatic entrance that shows Kunigami is not there doesn't happen until chapter 94, but its like the very first scene. It is completely possible to show that too.

So basically, chapter 93 is their only bet on a satisfactory conclusion.

However there are a couple of issues to take into account:

1. that's 9 whole chapters, compressed into 2 episodes. Either the pacing is going to be wack or they need to figure out how the hell to fit it so that it makes sense. The way I see it, its either going to be:

Episode 23: Ch. 85-88

Episode 24: Ch. 89-93

OR

Episode 23: 85-89

Episode 24: Ch. 90-93

Story wise it would make the most sense to do the second option. You finish the 4v4, have ego's speech, then include all of the 2v2 towards the end. That way, ep 24 can be solely the 5v5 that was built up in the previous episode and it can end with the epic ending of ch. 93.

However, I don't think they'll have enough time to do that, (egos speech is veryy long), so in that case first option is more realistic. And while it would feel awkward to end ep 23 on shidous introduction and have ep 24, the very last episode of the season, be the ending to that 2v2, have the ALLL of the 5v5 and THEN have the teams finish the second selection (pacing's gonna be real weird), it sadly is the more probable option.

2. while chapter 93 is the first good point to end off the season, it definitely isn't the best one. Ideally, the ending of chapter 94 finishes things off more cleanly, with Ego announcing the U-20 match, the third selection kicking off, and Kunigami entering the wild card. However, to say the anime will have enough to time to reach the ending of chapter 94 is a huge stretch.

(That's 10 chapters in 2 episodes, probably 5 chapters each, and with the length of these chapters, it sadly isn't possible).

So even with this cleaner ending of reaching chapter 93, it would still be a cliffhanger for anime onlys, (unless they somehow do kunigami entering the wildcard at the very end which would be SICK but thats still stretching it :/)

and finally 3. all of this is assuming the anime sticks to the manga as closely as they have been doing. Other than moving a few scenes around here and there (looking at you naruhayas backstory), the anime stays very true to the manga. I think that its POSSIBLE that they may cut out a few scenes to make time, but not likely.

And even so, i'm still so nervous they'll cut shidou's introduction out or something. they probably wont but STILL.

In conclusion: dw guys we'll get our satisfying ending at chapter 93, I BELIEVE. shidou's introduction, the other teams with karasu, otoya, hiori, yukimiya, etc, coming in, "thats all folks" is REAL. WE'LL SEE IT, PLS ANIME LET ME BE RIGHT FOR ONCE 😭😭

Hi y'all, I just wanted to talk a little about the behind the scenes of what I've been up to, to give y'all a little transparency and to open myself up for any tips or input! 🙏 Thank you for your continued support and for taking the time to look at my art 🫶

First and foremost I wanted to give some transparency about my art capacity.

As og followers may remember, I started this blog when I was doing art full time. Eventually my living expenses grew and I had to go back to work. I find myself in a cycle of "I'll make more art soon, once I get a job!" And "I'll make more art soon, once I am done with this job!" I lost my most recent job suddenly, having had an extension waved over my head until the last day(October 7th). Now I'm excited to have more time for art, but I am also feeling a rush to get a new job ASAP as I've been living paycheck to paycheck. I dream of doing this work full time, I'm just scared it's not quite there yet and I worry that I come off as scammy or dishonest when I anticipate more stability around the corner.

Second, I've been struggling with the Patreon. It's taken me a while to come to terms with this, but from what I've seen Patreon is not intuitive at all from the creator end. It doesn't do a good job of organizing addresses, emails, showing who or who isn't subscribed to me, or organizing and displaying the work I put on there. I've been really shocked by this experience, since lots of big names use Patreon. It's been a great way to streamline support, but it's been unhelpful in every other regard. I would like to continue using it, but I will most likely post more wips or process videos there in the future.

Which brings me to my third point, zines. I love making zines so much, it feels personal and fulfilling and fun! However the Patreon issues make it harder to keep information in order about where to send zines, or even where to message folks about them. In addition to this, the post office has been a big barrier to me, oftentimes only being open at the same time as my dayjob. Making zines can take days, then sending them out is a whole other monster.

This work is so important to me. Drawing peoples fantasies, representing body types, creating work around sexuality and the human experience feels like what I'm meant to do. I've made comics since I was a kid. This is the dream to me. The friends I've been able to make through this work are so important to me, and the conversations have been invaluable. Not to mention fun! I wanna doodle, I wanna draw hot stuff, I wanna thirst over these dudes! I want to play!

But I also just want to be transparent about the barriers I'm working around to share that experience. I'm completely self taught, both in art AND in running shops, building websites, running 8 accounts, etc. I take a lot of time to learn the logistics of these things, and try to make them make sense for my relationship with y'all (I do not want to paywall my art!! I don't want to!!!). This year my desktop broke down (the main one I use for all paintings and digital art). I've paused my Etsy shops and my Patreon to try to catch up with things. Trying to learn to paint in a completely different program. Then lost my job with no savings.

At the end of the day I don't want anything to come between me sharing my art with you. I wish I could doodle a thing, take a picture, and post it here. No third party site, no shop, no subscription. Just sharing my art with you. I promise I'm trying to figure out how to stay as close to that as possible, and I want to thank y'all for sticking with me as I untangle all of that.

So, what can you expect in the near future?

I'm working on a couple of painting commissions right now, which you should be able to see in the next couple of days! I want to catch up on kinktober and get those posted as well. There's a comic commission in progress which I'm very eager to work on, and which I think y'all will be excited for! To ease the weight of the Patreon I think I may do less zines/polls there and more wips and process videos! If possible, I want to do more full colored work too.

Thank you again for enjoying my work, and if you have any input or tips my inbox is always open 🙏🫶💕

excuse me while I add a third Disco Elysium OC to my roster...

God, I love how this game is written. It's so fun to just... make little blorbos based on how Harrier du Bois' fucked up brain voices will see them. A heehee. Giggle.

Anyway, enjoy~ He's still being developed, but I hope this teaser will tide some of yous over <3

~~~

VISUAL CALCULUS: A young man. No older than his late 20s. 172 centimeters, approximately 68 kilograms. Bright, outgoing-- probably has loads of friends.

LOGIC: Someone this popular doesn't take for a solo flâneur.

ENCYCLOPEDIA: "Flâneur"-- the coolest of the cool, but in that introspective, cool international poet way. A person without chains or concerns, wandering the urban paths for no better reason than the city has solid ground and the flâneur has feet. Basically, this kid is flâneuring right now-- aimlessly milling about, simply for the pleasure of it.

HALF-LIGHT: Or so he says.

CONCEPTUALIZATION: What kind of crowd would someone this cool and casual draw?

1. What does he look like?

Me. I'm his crowd. He rolls with guys like me.

Seems like a pop-collared prick if you ask me. I don't even need to see him to smell it. Elitism, baby.

Why do we care? We're just asking directions.

PERCEPTION: Now, remember-- you can't determine everything there is to know about a guy based on how he looks, brother.

LOGIC: But we can guess.

PERCEPTION: Sure. He's got a lot of pockets. A dark, snug-fitting ribbed tank top. A t-shirt, cropped at the ribs. A heavy-duty canvas worker's jacket, again with lots of pockets. A bandana around his neck. Work gloves, a duffel bag - so many pockets - and a good, strong pair of leather work boots.

SHIVERS: Hang on. Something isn't right here.

HALF-LIGHT: This whole time, you've been listening to his casual directions, the Lieutenant jotting each one down with quiet affirmations of 'mhm' or 'what's next?' You've been looking at him, haven't even taken your eyes off him.

SHIVERS: But neither has he.

HALF-LIGHT: He's been watching you, watching him.

[SKILL CHECK: COMPOSURE -- GODLY: SUCCESS] You manage to look almost bored, lazily passing your eyes over him again, paying extra attention to what you see.

PERCEPTION: We missed something.

CONCEPTUALIZATION: He runs with an alternative crowd. But not with them. This kid doesn't have an air of popularity-- it's infamy. Look at his bootstraps.

ENCYCLOPEDIA: Revolutionary groups often adopt subtle signs to recognize one another in the wild, especially when expressing a certain view or lifestyle which may invite dangerous interactions. This young man is gritty, savvy in your Marazovian sociopolitical lingo. He's a comrade, of the working class.

HALF-LIGHT: No. Not a comrade. He may not be a fascist, but he's not quite our friend.

PERCEPTION: Check his boots again.

CONCEPTUALIZATION: Blue laces. For the code.

ESPRIT-DE-CORPS: Cop-killer.

as your very average casual arcane fan its been genuinely wild suddenly being a witness to people saying similar statements real life bigots use to defend oppressors while further dehumanize the oppressed or blatantly erase social dynamics affected by established oppressive structures just to defend the white girl cop whose newest hobby of the month is police brutality. ive been stuck in a witness role without my consent and my disappointment is set on repeat

When I get home I’m gonna make a post about the different ways I got inspiration for wicked games 4!

[scientologyblows]

okay but lets be very serious here right now, when they release a statement what exactly is that gonna change? don admitted to him and lex having intercourse (which shows that he coerced her) and matt and ryans texts show that the situation was handled VERY poorly. an apology isnt enough for the trauma they both have caused

[yurislilygarden]

WHY THIS SOUND SO ACCURATE ??!?! -> https://youtu.be/_lvPnB86s7A?si=NrhXtDkFEVSGrrTG

If any Carson series readers are still out there, I just wanted to drop back in from the void and tell you that Carson and Daniel have a fucking CHILD now.

Every now and then I get haunted by my past as a dr fan because someone mentions it or smth and lemme tell you the worst case scenario is if they bring up v3 in an even slightly positive light because nothing will make me start giving a shit abt dr again except for my burning hatred of that damn game, I just spent like 30 minutes ranting to myself about how much of a nothing character Kokichi is in the bathroom after showering just to vent it out because if I don't rant abt v3 every now and then I'll explode and kill someone

Kana has been running circles in my mind since yesterday. I have not been able to stop thinking about her and searching for her and refreshing every app I have for anything new (it’s so uncharacteristic of me. I have like 2 hrs 10 mins. On Twitter in total and I don’t use that hoe for more than 10 minutes daily, if even). Even now after ep. 10 she’s still there. I am so willing to give up everything I have for her.

Anyways I have lots of ideas and reactions about it but short joke answer: LMAO Kana is pulling the Hoshino twins fr.

i think part of why i'm not that upset about our performances this year is because i'm honestly not expecting that much, i don't think this team will ever be That kind of bayern team and i don't think that even the best coach could change it. we're missing too many key positions and maybe there's a way to make it work with our current squad, but i think it would require sacrifices our players aren't willing to make
