Blue Lock Chapter 262: Visual Storytelling

Can we talk about the visual imagery this chapter?? Kaneshiro is always cooking but Nomura cooked extra hard this time with his own illustrative storytelling

An almost entirely white panel. Except for the black spot of Kaiser's hunched figure. Almost as if he's the stain on an otherwise perfect game from BM right now. (He's thrown off balance.)

Here, in the first picture, this is Isagi's view of where Kaiser is right now. On top of a puzzle piece— a symbol of Isagi's power, and also a symbol of how off kilter he is. The second picture is part of a larger paneling of how he's being left on the ground as Isagi runs past him in a flurry of puzzle pieces. Almost as if Isagi's kicking the pieces of his perfect puzzle astray, leaving him to rebuild them from scratch. (The theme of this chapter.)

You can tell he's only barely listening. Eyes are always a huge indicator of visual storytelling— i picked this up from looking at BSD panels for too long. Here there's virtually no pupils, smaller, wider eyeballs because he's not listening to Ness's words. They're going in one ear out the other. Because Ness's words are superficial— He's trying to help, he is, but that is desperately NOT what Kaiser needs right now. He needs to figure out how to FIX this. Not to retreat back into the safety of his cocoon so that he can pretend he's still the star on the field.

NOTICE HOW EVERYTHING IN THE SECOND PANEL CAN DIRECTLY BE RELATED TO ISAGI. The offer from Reale— what if Yoichi gets it instead of me? The throne in this team— what if Isagi takes that, too? Am I about to lose everything I worked to get myself? The whole world is watching my worst performance in years. I can't lose here. I can't be defeated here. Not here, of all places, in Blue Lock.

Negative colouring. The previous, prominent memory I have of this is when Rin went to his "flow" state. It's specifically to emphasise the "HUMAN" wording. It's usually used to showcase a very prominent moment, in this case it's Kaiser realising exactly what the core of his worry is right now. It isn't the defeat, not beating Isagi, not anything. At the moment, he's afraid of losing the very humanity he had thought he clawed himself into. To emphasise this, the black and white being reversed are to indicate that time almost freezes, completely changing his perspective and line of thought at that moment.

Less dramatic, still negatively scaled panel. Emphasising how he's really digging into his psyche here and going "Oh, I'm scared. I'm afraid of losing everything I've got for myself." The last time this happened was when his secret money stash was found— he didn't care as much then, because there was nothing to lose that he hadn't already lost. But now? Now, it matters a lot more. Because he's built himself up on an entirely shaky foundation. Note how he's also sliding below here, losing his footing, like he's lost the stable ground he thought he had.

The angle of this panel makes it look like he's climbing upwards, and he's just lost his grip on the wall before him, and is in the process of falling. It's extremely well done.

Plenty people have already pointed this one out— yeah Isagi's just reached a height that's similar to Noa's. The position Kaiser thought he used to have, but now he's not even on the staircase to victory and the treasure he thought he would attain soon is now inching towards his most challenging rival to date.

You will never see him this tired, this defeated, or this melancholic ever again. At this point, his eyes are no longer that wide, shocked stare of not seeing. Now he's comprehended his stance, and he's come back into himself.

Each petal is a memory, a visual representation of the crumbling of the rose he once held. It's gone now, there's no rose in his hand anymore (nothing for him to hold onto anymore). When you have no roses in hand, you grow a new bouquet. When you have nothing, there's nothing to lose if you go reaching for something to hold onto again.

But HERE, the petals can be interpreted in two ways— either he's being reformed from the petals of a new rose (blank petals, not representative ones). OR, you can interpret it as those very petals dissipating from his being, leaving him as this black, blank slate to rebuild himself. Zero— as in no colour, no petals, no gardens to flourish anymore. Only way to move now is up.

Also I'd like to draw your attention to the negative paneling again— inverted this time, the exact opposite of the previously conveyed emotion. Now he's the one in the black, working to redefine himself. He's already redefined the external aspects.

Your Zero— Your Beginning. I LOVE this page, even if it's a repeat. It conveys so much. Kaneshiro and Nomura are such a GOOD TEAM

A black hand clasps around the core memory— the memory of when he truly had only his football. He can't let that petal float away, that's one he wants to keep. That's the idea he wants to hold onto. He crushes the petal into his hand, assimilating it into his new beginning. That's the one he'll hold onto, to recraft the person that is Michael Kaiser.

KAISER REFERRING TO HIMSELF BY HIS FIRST NAME 

Wow those panels …

this was my first thought unfortunately

[aeruia]

karasu tabito dating hcs?

⌕. BLUE LOCK

↻. KARASU TABITO DATING HCS !

hcs on what would i think if he started dating you :3

pairing/s : karasu tabito x reader

warning/s: nothing, ooc i guess 😓

word count: 262

note: i still haven't finished bllk manga yet and I'm a forgetful person so i read a few chapters (to get to know the character more 😭) and so i can do this req 🥹 this took too long since i’ve busy :< also my first time doing a hcs :0

before you both are dating, i feel like you and karasu just don't know each other or just ignore each other's existence.

you only noticed him when you saw isagi with him, shocked that isagi knew karasu and after that you greeted each other and that's where you both started talking

he did the first move but when the conversation ended then he wants to talk to you more he will probably try those misclicking emojis and then tries to talk with you again 😭

he would probably never admit that he has a crush on you on anybody and just keep it to himself but if you confessed your feelings first he would be all “ i know that from the start “ just to hide how flustered he is 💀

okay so when you both started dating he would act all cool in front of his friends, flexing you off everything he can do when inside he's actually wanna be all shy and hide behind you.

can talk about you all day if anyone asks him. he looks like he doesn't care or whatever but when someone asks just a small detail about you that's the only thing he'll talk about.

idk if this just me but i think if you're talking shit about someone he would make side comments about that person even if he doesn't know a thing about them 💀

overall, if you and karasu started dating it would be fun and also a lot of dates would be planned. ( all of you guys budget are wasted in dates but it's fun )

Chapter 250-262 of Blue Lock or Chapter 259-262. Actually any time Kaiser got one upped by Isagi is this.

I was inspired by seeing this comic which inspired by this comic I KNEW I had to draw Ness and Kaiser as this because well this is their dynamic...well WAS until their break up.

[nenekobasu]

i'm not moving on from ch.262 even if i move on from ch.262 blue lock could be on chapter fucking thousand and i'll still be on that ch.262 juice but kaiser said pwease uwu.

God. I really don't want to comment much until the chapter fully drops, but oh my god. There's so much potential here.

Kaiser is redefining his existence, trying to figure out what is the root of everything he wants. Obviously he's still a traumatised teenager who barely has any idea of what it is— hence the somewhat unhealthy interpretations even now— but he's making progress. Honestly? I didn't think he would this fast, but I think Kaneshiro is doing a good job of making it development in a very Kaiser-like way.

As @/miyamiwu said on the post here (you're always cooking such good theories, thank you for inspiring me), his development has to first fix the root of the problem.

At the moment, he's focusing on the Egoistical aspect— this is not wrong, this is also something he needs to do. But it's superficial— he still needs to figure out his issues with himself, and the way he views himself. It's got to do with love, his trauma with his father and with how he views football. It's got to do with the more human aspects of Michael, rather than Michael Kaiser the football prodigy.

He has such deeply rooted self esteem and existential issues because he doesn't believe he's enough without the ability to make himself a stark presence on the field.

I think the zero idea is lovely though. He really does need to think about everything from a grass root level. I hope he does it right.

Isagi really is giving Kaiser “PTSD”

Death End Re;Quest Chapter 7 Guide

The post Death End Re;Quest Chapter 7 Guide appeared first on Fextralife.

In this Death End Re;Quest Chapter 7 Guide, I’ll be going over the path to clear the seventh chapter of the game and it’s boss. Death End Re;Quest is a unique RPG game that merges the typical JRPG and allows players to convert it into a fighting game, shooter, or even a slot game. There are other subtle quirks that the game possesses that will be simple to execute but difficult to master.

Death End Re;Quest Chapter 7 Guide

For Chapter 7 of Death End Re;Quest, players will be returning to an area they know well, Rizaria Forest. This area was the location you explored in Chapter 4, and will be the main focus in Chapter 7. Be careful as all the enemies you met previously, have now been leveled up. Use type advantages to avoid being counter action-ed against and to deal a decent amount of damage.

Monsters in Heartis Palace (East & West Wing)

Dias 22,600 HP 50 SP ★ Stars Type

Apochi 7,840 HP 15 SP ☾ Moon Type

Tagrika 12,540 HP 20 SP ☾ Moon Type

Femodas 18,520 HP 10 SP, ★ Stars Type

Miasupa 60,600 HP 25 SP ☀ Sun Type

Bugnus Cube 20 HP 15 SP ☀ Sun Type

Timous 19,270 HP 15 SP ★ Stars Type

Wilarlia 36,480 HP 30 SP ☀ Sun Type

Yapshi 12,235 HP 25 SP ★ Stars Type

Tudei 3,254 HP 10 SP ☾ Moon Type

Doggi 13,965 HP 15 SP ☾ Moon Type

Laforio 25,870 HP 20 SP ☀ Sun Type

Rizaria Forest (Village Entrance)

Warp to the Village Entrance to pick up an obtainable item during our last trip here. From the camp, make a right, cross the long light bridge, then make a left. Lucil’s Specto Search will be needed to reveal a hidden bridge that will allow players to obtain the Bug Wings. Head back to the camp and warp to the Village Depths.

Rizaria Forest (Village Depths)

Exit the camp and interact with both ! to progress the story. Use the save point back at camp and switch to the real world to experience a cutscene with Rin. Afterwards its time to log back into World’s Odyssey to continue your journey.

Cross the bridge, make a right to travel over another bridge, and make a final right to reach the teleporter at the end of the path. Enter it, avoid the enemy that spawns close to you and grab the chest nearby. The chest contains 1 Lethal Bow (200 HP, 155 ATK). To the right of the chest lies 1 Dark Elf’s Guidance. Use Al’s Armo On environmental ability to safely cross the 2 poison bogs to acquire another 1 Dark Elf’s Guidance. Use the newly possessed keys to open the 2 wooden doors that leads to chests and teleporters. There will be 1 Conte Buil (600 HP, 212 ATK) behind the first wooden door and another Dark Elf’s Guidance behind the second wooden door.

Walk back to the first teleporter you passed on your way to the first wooden door and enter it. Bypass the enemy in front of you and obtain the Chaos Phonspear (300 HP, 172 ATK, 80 DEF). Open the wooden door then use Shina’s Spider Rodeo ability to reach the Vincent Magia (184 ATK, 130 DEF, 90 MAT). Jump down and enter the teleporter to the left. Travel straight to enter the next teleporter. Pick up the Dark Elf’s Guidance and take back the light blue teleporter to get back to the area with the locked wooden door and where you used Shina’s ability. Use the save point, obtain the Purple Fang Drive (166 ATK, 50 MAT) enter the teleporter to reach the next area. Take the right teleporter to create a shortcut back to the camp of Village Depths. Use this to heal up your party and save if needed. Head back to the 2 teleporter room and take the left one to create a path that leads to the last Dark Elf’s Guidance. Backtrack to the lone savepoint and open the final gate that leads to a shared graveyard. Get ready to fight 2 bosses back to back, so gear up for the challenge. Players will fight Al Astra, Lone Survivor of the Beast Clan in glitch mode.

Al Astra, Lone Survivor of the Beast Clan in Glitch Mode

Al will absolutely destroy your party if you don’t pay attention to types. Luckily its uncommon for players team to have 2 ★ Stars Types in the lead team. (Lily & Celica) Attacking her with ☾ Moon type characters and skills will cause her to auto counter your attack. Fight Al with ☀ Sun and ★ Star Types skills for the best advantage.

2154 HP 50 SP ☀ Sun Type 100% Corruption

For my party composition I used Shina, Lucil, and Celica. Have Shina use Trally Bloom, Ahewave, Achewave to power up Shina’s magic attack while dealing damage to Al. Celica should use Hone Power, Astate, Astate to power up Celica’s physical attack to deal even more damage to Al.  If you want to know more about each characters strengths and weakness check out our Death End Re;Quest All Girls Guide. Defeating Al grants players 24,000 Exp, and 1 Ultra Ogre Brew.

Al Astra Redux

Players will fight Al a second time right after she was defeated first. In this fight she is more aggressive using Sol Lance often so avoid grouping your team in a circle nearby each other.  I used Shina, Lucil, and Celica in a triangle-esque formation to avoid Sol Lance from injuring more than 1 girl. Celica’s triple Aster Plaza will decimate Al’s Health. If Al survives your attempts, finish her with Lucil’s triple Phoenix Ray. Defeating Al for the second time grants players 28,800 Exp, and 1 Ultra Ogre Brew.

3054 HP 50 SP ☀ Sun Type 100% Corruption

Rizaria Forest (Village Depths)

After saving Al proceed to the green teleporter and interact with the ! pick up Russian Nesting Doll. Swap to Arata in the real world and travel to the Night Owl to progress the story. Once you finish watching the cut scene, head back to World’s Odyssey. Unlock the wooden door to your left, then enter the teleporter, and interact with the ! to finish the chapter with some cutscenes. Make sure to pick up the Magenta Quartz (300 HP, 190ATK, 60 MAT, 60 MDF) before leaving the forest.

Following this guide you will have successfully saved Al and obtained the Rizaria Forest’s Terminal Stone!
