Nie Mingjue: NONSENSE! The Nie Sect doesn't even know the meaning of the word "surrender"!

Nie Huaisang: But we're willing to learn!

I kind of wish Hiori would actually give up football and the whole Blue Lock. Don't get me wrong, I love this character, I love the panels with him, and I was really happy when he committed to his game in the last chapter.

Throughout chapter 237, he kept saying he was going to quit football.

And let him do it if he really wants to.

He will find something for himself, not something he will do because of the talent he has or someone like his parents. If he wants, let him resign.

Because no one gives up on Blue Lock and such a representation would be really good in this series.

If someone leaves Blue Lock, it's because they were kicked out, not because it was their decision.

Even Nagi, who initially didn't care about football and didn't really want to participate in this program, later became really involved in this sport.

And throughout the entire manga, there wasn't a single character who left on their own. It doesn't really have to be Hiori (although he has reasons to do so), but it would be interesting if there was at least one character in this series who thought: "What am I doing here? This is not the place for me, I don't want to be here. I'm fed up, I'm quitting."

From the very beginning, Blue Lock was different from other sports manga because it questions cooperation and boycotts the belief in the power of friendship (which we had confirmation in this chapter again):

So it would be good if finally a character decided that this sport is not for them and they want to resign.

Because sports manga very rarely allows characters to quit.

Injury? This is not a reason to give up sports completely! A devastating defeat? It's not worth giving up, you have to keep fighting! Lack of heart for the game or bad motivation that started your sports career? You will surely love this sport over time!

But that's not always the case in real life. People give up. People are fed up. They don't have to do something against their will.

It's the same with talent. If you're good at something, do you really have to do it? Because talent will be wasted? What does it matter if you really hate what you're good at?

I'm glad that Nagi finally found something in football that excites him. But again, if a character in Blue Lock is good at football but really hates it, let's just let them stop playing. After all, not everyone will eventually be convinced to take up this sport.

So if there's a character in Blue Lock who gives up on it all, I'll take them into my arms and hug them tight.

Because being a quitter is human.

Imagine them both hopped up on V or something and being all feral about you and just refusing to let you leave cause they're not done, yet.

guys... i think I'm not going to take the AP calc bc exam. I already have college credit from LITERALLY THE SAME CLASS (calc II) I took at my local university last year so i a) won't get any different credit b) most colleges don't even accept AP exam scores for placement. ive done very well in my class however... my teacher never teaches we just watch khan academy videos and i have a very good short term mathematical memory but. otherwise erm... especially when i have such a shallow understanding. i think I just need to choose personal peace for once in my entire life and take the easy way out even though that's quite difficult for me. also I know I won't get a 5 and I can't handle not getting a 5 on an AP exam so I just. won't try ahaha

I hate this fic. I've been writing it on and off since March 2021. I'm going to finish it tomorrow.

Tommy had taken them all to the bench for a disc and one of his less-effective rallying speeches. Maybe it’d kick in tomorrow. It was hard to think of next steps when they all stunk of spruce smoke and wither.
