#blue lock u20 arc

[xoxobluelock]

I really don’t have the words to describe how much I need to see Sae, Shidou, and Kaiser interact 😂

[mooshofish]

Two GOATS. one panel. I know that’s right.

Anyways my favorite thing about the fact that Nagi got executed is that REO IS ENTERING HIS LOCKED ARC. HES SO LOCKED. Even Shidou is like “dude you know that copying other techniques is not something most people can do right?????” He’s goated with the sauce! I’m so ready. We’re so back.

Side note but I love how peaceful Shidou looks in the manga. In the anime he looks like he’d be the friend who always says “I’m gonna touch you.”, but in the manga? He’s just happy and playing AS FUCKING INTENDED. He’s such a positive person, it’s why he’s one of my favorites. Like he’ll hype up anyone, he’ll beat the shit out of someone being an asshole (Rin), then he’ll take a lil nap. He’s the most unbothered king to ever walk this earth I fear.

how kaneshiro felt after drawing shidou literally cumming on the fucking field (honestly kaneshiro what the fuck?)

[trashthatsred]

I hope everyone noticed the obvious thing that is: The intro is in Rin’s POV.

There was no reason to this, it was only a reminder to hurt someone (me it’s me, i’m tweaking, the show just wants to hurt m- us)

He will guard his striker’s bloom

Saw this comment on YouTube, and I agree:

I really wanna analyze the NEL arc and think about how it rips Blue Lock away from the sports genre, when before the manga at least qualified as a deconstruction of said genre

but until this arc is finally over, I'm gonna have to wait

[starlost-lix]

everyone: blue lock is losing! we’re gonna die! help!

isagi: wait☝️let me🥹solve my🤓puzzle🧩

[hiddenfolk]

My personal guess for what happens next is nagi signs on to either manshine, munchen or an entirely newly introduced team and comes back during the U20 World Cup as an absolute monster rival

[mydarkorchid]

Isagi losing to Rin again will be very and I mean very mid writing on knsr’s part

If he can’t beat Rin here he might as well give up on being the number one striker atp

this dialogue is interesting....

now that we're finished (most likely) with kunigami's time in NEL, its got me thinking about the purpose of his character and honestly..

it makes sense why his arc hasnt happened yet.

it feels like this is something theyre trying to build up, and i feel like kunigami's story with the wc will tie in with the meta of both blue lock and its ideology. after all, his existence in itself was now and then a direct contradiction to it. i can even see further depth on ego's character, his ideals, and his backstory being built from it.

ive seen people criticize kaneshiro for the writing of kunigami thus far and while i understand them to an extent, its not like kaneshiro abandoned kunigami completely. he's left hints and pieces for what his arc may entail to: lines that seem off, moments where the old kunigami shines through, panels that raise questions. all while kunigami disappears into the background, always overshadowed by the other characters whose egos are being put on full display. who have had their 'protagonist' moment. meanwhile, kunigami is being told to put his away. to 'abandon' his ego.

and yet, there are moments where it feels like kunigami is trying to fight that. when he tries to make a goal on his own, tries to steal the ball, after being gone for chapters on end. like the story is trying to sideline him, but kunigami keeps pushing his way to the front.

its not that his arc has been neglected; it just that it hasn't happened yet. or rather.. this neglect is part of his arc.

i have a feeling that when kunigami finally gets the focus, its going to be something incredible.

So I got an inner calling to check the game where we first see Karasu and Otoya's gameplay

Don't mind this I'm just obsessed with him and the way he thinks

ANYWAY.

It was good, because I found two extras by the end of it!! Sorry for the late fulfillment of my promise!! (I sound like Nanase rn–)

namu amida booger i'm crying

Damn. Justice for aryu. 😔✊🏻 I'd be sad if I were to be on that team too. Nah jk. I'd be so pissed off if I get teamed up with igaguri. Duh.

Also I remember thinking "huh? That's coward. If he's so good at soccer why not just go for the strongest one, no?" And I was pissed off because then the "strongest" on team were inevitably left to fight the average ones while this strong soldier is out there breaking the weak ones 🤦🏻‍♀️ like....it wasn't really exciting but damn was is effective. Good thing rin stepped in.
