This was truly our blue lock

[lunarcloak]

Why are people so mad at Igaguri? He isn't my favourite character either, not by a long shot, but the amount of hate is unnecessary. Chill out.

Rin is a talented player. Igaguri isn't trying to fight him on the basis of talent. Nobody's "goat" is getting "cooked". It's just another Blue Lock plotline. Igaguri isn't a gag character or a side character. He's always been there.

Isagi needs to grovel for a bit. Rin's just thwarted him almost embarrassingly easily, and Loki is miles ahead of that. It's going to take him some time. Igaguri is a good interlude character while Isagi goes through his mental hurdles to develop as a character.

Anyways. Loki is the picture of subversion in my mind. I expected him to be somewhat peaceful and sane character, but I forgot I was reading Blue Lock HAHAHAHA. The moment I saw the way he sees Charles and uses Charles, I kknew. But these past two chapters are hilariously fitting for a Blue Lock vibe.

[English review] Chapter 278: "〇△□".

In these pages, we see Igarashi, who had been considered one of the less remarkable players, using a surprising tactic specifically aimed at the opponent: faking a foul on Rin Itoshi. This strategic play, suggested by Noa, takes advantage of Rin’s instinctive confidence and aggression. The tension in the match is palpable as Igarashi manages to halt Itoshi’s advance and shake up the field with his cunning, generating an impressive reaction from both his teammates and the spectators.

The fact that Igarashi successfully executed Noa’s plan marks a moment of vindication for him, reflected in his emotion and pride as he shouts at his parents and even at the “damn temple” he wants to escape from. His joy is evident, especially since he has gone from being seen as a weak player to someone capable of influencing the match’s outcome.

On the flip side, we see Noa coldly guiding his players, emphasising that, in the face of the rival’s violence and brute force, they must respond with a cool head and intelligence. The strategic use of Igarashi’s cunning demonstrates the importance of tactics at this point in the game.

Finally, Isagi’s monologue reveals something crucial: Rin is not invincible. Despite his strength and confidence, he can be stopped if his weaknesses are exploited at the right moment. Isagi’s statement about how the field is going to change is a strong indicator of his evolution; it shows he is beginning to grasp the dynamics of the game and how players can influence the course of the match.

The interaction between Loki and Rin is also interesting, as it reflects a palpable tension. Rin, clearly frustrated, shows his determination not to let challenges hold him back. This adds an emotional layer to his character that is really engaging.

Loki acts as a sort of provoking antagonist, challenging not just Rin’s skills on the pitch but also his mentality. This rivalry may motivate Rin to push himself even harder, which could lead to significant character development. It’s fascinating to see how these tensions between characters can influence the plot’s progression and the growth of each player.

The rivalry between Rin and Loki is a crucial element in this part of the chapter. The tension between them is not only based on their footballing abilities but also on their personalities and playing philosophies. Rin seems to be grappling with his frustration and his desire to outshine his brother, as well as Isagi, whom he acknowledges as his rival. Everything intensifies with Loki’s presence, who is also a formidable competitor.

Noa’s leadership stands out as he addresses his team, showing confidence and taking responsibility at a crucial moment in the match, but for his own benefit. His strategy of drawing in defenders and then making a quick pass is a clear example of tactical intelligence. Isagi is drawn into this play and appears confident when receiving the ball.

Noa’s motivation to find a rival who challenges him, rather than simply seeking team success, resonates deeply with the philosophy of Blue Lock. It’s not surprising, as Ego explained this from the start. His desire to evolve as a player suggests he is on a path of personal and professional growth, which could complicate his relationship with Kaiser and the rest of the team. This ambition could lead to some very interesting developments in the future.

In the closing pages, the match’s tension escalates, particularly in the dynamic between Isagi, Noa, and Kaiser. Isagi realises that Noa doesn’t see him as an equal but rather as a means to boost Kaiser, which highlights his insecurity about his own value on the pitch. This revelation is crucial, as it shows how characters use others as stepping stones on their journey to greatness, contrasting with Isagi’s desire to be the protagonist in his own story.

Tokimitsu’s action of fouling Noa reflects the desperation and urgency the team feels to stop such a formidable opponent. The yellow card symbolizes the price they are willing to pay, even if it scares them. Receiving a second card would mean leaving the pitch, but it’s Aoishi’s only way to prevent Noa from succeeding, adding an element of sacrifice to the game.

Noa’s call to Kaiser to execute the “Kaiser Impact” is a key moment, as it represents not just a powerful attack but also the culmination of Noa’s strategy to unleash Kaiser’s potential. This shows that the struggle is not just physical but also psychological: players are trying to overcome not only their opponents but also their own limitations and expectations.

Isagi’s fury in response to this dynamic is fundamental. He is determined not to be just a “second stepping stone” and to show that he has the potential to shine on his own. His declaration that he’ll “crush them all” is a clear indicator of his growing ego and ambition, which could mark a turning point in his character development.

In this chapter of Blue Lock, the intensity of the match and the dynamics between the players highlight each one’s internal struggle to push past their limits and define themselves in a rivalry-filled environment. The revelation of the true intentions of characters like Noa adds a layer of complexity, showing that in this quest for greatness, not all bonds are built on camaraderie. Isagi, facing the reality of being seen as a mere stepping stone in the pursuit of others’ greatness, is driven to challenge those expectations and fight for his own place in the spotlight. As the strategies unfold on the pitch, it becomes clear that the true challenge lies not just in the opponent but also in personal growth, pushing each player to become the best version of themselves.

Blue Lock Episode 25 Review - Tryouts

Because the episode title lists this episode as Episode 25, that’s what I’m using for the episode formatting for subsequent reviews! Blue Lock is finally back! However, I am a little worried because the trailer made the animation a little stiff. There wasn’t much ball play in this episode besides the Rin and Sae stuff in the beginning, so I can’t be too harsh on the animation just yet.

Right now, this first episode of the new season is introducing to the players about what the Top 35 players will do. However, can someone fill me in if this is a part of third selection or has it stopped? Anyways, the main goal is to find a core team that can face off against the U-20 team. If you’re unaware, the U-20 team is where Rin’s brother Sae is a member of. I believe he’s the star player? Anyways, because of Episode 2, Sae is heavily interested in Blue Lock, hence why the Japan Football Union and the U-20 staff have banded together to have a Blue Lock vs U-20 to see who is better. It’s basically Ego wanting to prove to the JFU about the Blue Lock program and him wanting to give the JFU the middle finger.

In order to create a core team, the Top 6 players will be grouped into three different teams and the rest of the 29 players will have to pick who they’ll team up with. The rest of the episode is basically the players deciding who they should go with and what not. The top 6 are, in order: Rin, Shidou, Karasu, Otoya, Yukimiya and Nagi. According to Ego, the Top 6 is determined by whoever could go up against the World 5, which was seen in the final two episodes, and his own instincts. So, according to Ego, Rin did the best which makes sense because he obviously did the most work in the last two episodes of the first season. I honestly want to see what Nagi did for him to be 6th. If you’re unaware, Nagi’s perspective is a manga called Episode Nagi. Right now, the current story hasn’t gotten him to where the World 5 is yet, so I’m really curious on what he did that got him to 6th. Oh and since there’s an uneven number, one player has to be in two matches against the other two teams, and that player is #7, Bachira. Man, poor Isagi. He’s always being underestimated by Ego. Also, I have no idea who these new characters (Karasu, Otoya, Yukimiya) are like, so I hope the season can help me get to know them better. I am curious to see how much better they are at soccer than Isagi for them to be in the Top 6.

More than the soccer matches, I really like the interactions between the characters, so I really liked this episode! It was nice seeing the remaining Team Z members having a meal together. Seeing Gagamaru being silly with Igaguri was cute. Though, it is a little bittersweet because not everyone made it, especially Kunigami. Chigiri made a comment about how elimination is just a part of what Blue Lock is, but I can tell that he’s really torn up about Kunigami’s elimination on the inside (also, their interactions were so cute together, so it’s a bummer to not see them interact again). I also liked seeing Isagi interacting with other players like Barou, Niko and Reo. There were also interactions that aren’t based around Isagi like Rin and Shidou’s animosity and Yukimiya trying to befriend Nagi.

The trailer showed off really stiff animation for the soccer playing, but it wasn’t all that bad with the Rin vs Sae match in the beginning of this episode. However, I did notice some stiffness in the characters expression-wise. I felt like Shidou and his crazy faces got most of the budget followed by Rin and then everyone else. Though, this is a lay-low episode so I know I shouldn’t worry too much about the animation…okay, I admit my worries are mainly from the opening. The song’s amazing, but the opening visuals are not. It feels a little lazy and if that’s the quality of the episodes going forth, I’ll get worried.

Also, I find the voice actor choices for the new characters interesting. Lots of big names I see. Shidou is voiced by Yuichi Nakamura. Karasu is voiced by Makoto Furukawa. Otoya is voiced by Kengo Kawanishi. Yukimiya is voiced by Takuya Eguchi. If you’re an avid anime watcher, you’ve probably watched several animes with those names in the cast. It’s crazy how they got the money to hire all these S-class voice actors.

The best part of Blue Lock is always the additional time! I totally missed these cute post-credit skits! The fact that they’re all squabbling for sleeping arrangements is both cute and hilarious because no one wants to be in the same room as Rin, yet they still have to. Props to Yukimiya for stepping up. Let’s just hope no one kills each other.

Anyways, if you’re wondering why I’m starting from Episode 25, I wrote a review of the entire first season, which you can find here. I honestly can’t wait to see what this season has to offer in terms of content. What will this tryout bring to the field? Who will be a part of the starting 11? Will Ego ever give the JFU the middle finger? What are your thoughts on the premiere of the long awaited season 2?

[ellitheghost]

GUYS WTF IM SO SRY I FORGOT ABT LORENZO’S BDAY, GURIMU’S BDAY AND OUR FAVORITE GAY HORNY SHINDOU’S BDAY OH SHITTTTTT GUYSS DONT KILL ME

HAPPY LATE BDAY TO THEM

[maochira]

can you do for the writing Event, hanging out with bastard München but it's field day and so they go eat Currywurst together

please

SAKJDKJSDSDAKDSHK I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS REQUEST IT'S SO SILLY

Field day with Bastard München!

request open! - event list - event introduction

Tags: gn!reader, for those who don't know what Currywurst is, just google it real quick (it's popular food here in Germany)

(A/N: because I've been asked that a few times, yes I am from Germany LMAO and so is Claire)

Event sypnosis: you, Claire (@deerangle3 ) and Mao (me) are assistants in the Neo Egoist League

-the trip goes surprisingly well. No chaos, no fighting, etc. That's mostly thanks to you, Claire and Mao because you're able to equal out the disharmony between some players (cough Isagi and Kaiser cough)

-the day actually only consisted of a bit of sightseeing and walking around the city because the players from Germany didn't get a chance to see Japan, since everyone has to stay in Blue Lock all the time

-you walk past a restaurant with German food and the players from Germany really wanna go there. Cause, you know. They've been only been served Japanese food in Blue Lock

-after a bunch of begging Noa gives in and all of you go in there

-it's just regular Deutsche Pommesbude food, like fries and Bratwurst and stuff

-Kaiser doesn't admit how excited he is to get German food again, but you know on the inside he's cheering like a little kid when their mom makes their favourite food, so you tease him a bit about it

-Kaiser actually orders multiple things but only eats like half of them and Ness has to eat the leftovers

-Gagamaru eats so fucking much and he would probably eat even more if you wouldn't have stopped him

-Birkenstock consumed 3 Currywurst with fries in 10 minutes (A/N: I have a weird emotional attachment to Birkenstock soo.... I had to add him)

-at first, Raichi complained about the food, before he even tried it. Claire started an argument with him and somehow got him to shut up and just try the food. He also ended up liking it but didn't admit it (he doesn't want Claire to win the argument)

-you share food with Kurona because he's not really hungry but still wants to try something

-Yukimiya gets interested in the food, so he asks a bunch of questions to Claire and Mao (if you're German, he will ask you as well.) He also wants to know about other German food! That starts the idea of asking Ego to provide some more food variety in Blue Lock

-Kunigami really hates being there and wishes he would have stayed in Blue Lock. He doesn't even eat anything. You try to get him to join in on the conversations but he ignores you every time

-you keep offering him some fries and he ends up accepting those (without saying a word, tho)

-Isagi is a bit weirded out by the food so he sticks to eating fries

-then Kaiser starts an argument with Isagi about him "disrespecting" German food and usually you would stop their arguments, but this one is way too funny so you let them argue for a bit

-the bread vs rice debate (like in that one Blue Lock Additional Time) starts between the entire team, and then they ask you, Claire and Mao for your opinions but you guys refuse to answer. But Mao is starting to have an internal crisis because as a half German she loves bread but as a half Thai she loves rice and you just see her spiraling into an identity crisis for 10 seconds. Then she snaps out of it because Claire makes a joke about putting rice on bread and force-feeding it to Igaguri

-Igaguri is NOT amused by that joke

-the day is actually some of the most lighthearted time you ever got with the entire team. Mostly because everyone forgets about soccer and being competitive for a bit

[blue-thief]

WHY IS HE HOLDING HIM LIKE THAT

Reseña/análisis Cap. 282 de Blue Lock: “Te necesito”

Análisis: “Más allá del genio”.

En este capítulo, vemos cómo Isagi se sumerge en la diferencia entre el “genio” y el “talento”. Además, solo queda un minuto para que termine el sistema de cambio de estrellas y Noa y Loki abandonen el terreno de juego.

Isagi descubre que Kaiser no es un genio, sino que utiliza sus sentidos para comprender el campo. En ese aspecto, él y Kaiser son parecidos. Kaiser tuvo que idear su propio estilo de juego y construir sus estrategias en torno a las expectativas del mundo. Este Emperador se rige por esos estándares y entrega lo que el mundo espera. Kaiser es completamente opuesto a Rin; este último es un jugador que actúa por instinto, un instinto que ha liberado en su verdadero ego en este partido.

En la mente de Isagi resuenan algunas palabras de Kaiser: "No me decepciones, nuevo héroe", "Si pierdo, todo desaparecerá...", "Así que resolvamos esto con goles reales". Estas frases reflejan el ego de Kaiser, un ego de estilo y aprendizaje que lo caracteriza como un “aprendiz talentoso”.

Isagi recuerda los estilos de ego que teorizó: el estilo propio y el estilo mundial. El estilo mundial facilita el actuar en consonancia con los valores y expectativas del mundo, mientras que el estilo propio se relaciona más con el aprendiz talentoso, quien enfrenta a sus oponentes desde una lógica personal. Isagi comprende que perseguir un valor y significado propio es lo que inspira a los genios.

Los genios y los aprendices talentosos chocan, se admiran y se necesitan mutuamente. Existe una relación constante entre ambos, en la que se potencian. No hay jerarquía entre ellos; coexisten en el mismo plano, potenciándose mutuamente.

Mientras Loki avanza hacia la portería rival, Isagi lo observa como el genio que es y comprende que él mismo ha estado intentando ser algo que no es. En capítulos anteriores, Ego le había recordado que no debe pretender ser un genio, ya que ese no es su lugar. Los estilos propio y mundial manejan sus habilidades de forma distinta, y nada sucederá si Isagi no alinea su talento con su esfuerzo.

¿Puede un aprendiz talentoso mantenerse al nivel de los genios? Sí, y Kaiser es prueba de ello. Kaiser dejó de lado su obsesión por Isagi y todo lo que había estado usando hasta ese momento; fue entonces cuando el Emperador de la Rosa Azul2 comenzó a cambiar y se mantuvo al nivel de los genios.

Isagi se da cuenta de que debe dejar a un lado sus fijaciones, su admiración y rivalidad con Rin, y su rencor hacia Kaiser. Deshaciéndose de esas ataduras, podrá jugar al nivel de los genios, de manera “pura”, sin restricciones. Isagi quiere dejar todo atrás; quiere ganar. El Isagi del pasado, que llegó derrotado a Blue Lock, buscaba ganar, y ha tenido que redescubrirse poco a poco para obtener un lugar dentro del proyecto liderado por Ego y esta vez no será la excepción.

Loki continúa avanzando y le pasa el balón a Rin. Una vez más, Igarashi intenta interponerse ante él simulano una falta, pero Itoshi no cae en la trampa y se escabulle por el espacio creado por el Maestro del PXG. Rin se dirige a la portería, retando a los defensas centrales del BM: “¡Vengan… ¡Todos ustedes, vengan contra mí!”. Va con todo y contra todos, ya libre de las ataduras del pasado (especialmente de su hermano). Rin ahora juega con total libertad, enfrentando a alguien a su nivel, listo para pelear y luchar como un verdadero monstruo, tal como se lo imaginaba en su niñez.

Isagi también se dirige hacia Rin. Frente a frente, ve al otro monstruo del campo. Rin lo estaba esperando; ambos se esperaban. Es el enfrentamiento entre un genio y un aprendiz talentoso, cara a cara, pero esta vez Isagi es una nueva versión de sí mismo.

Este capítulo destaca la importancia de la autoaceptación y de encontrar el propio estilo en el fútbol. A través de la evolución de Isagi y la relación simbiótica entre el genio y el aprendiz talentoso, se muestra que la grandeza puede alcanzarse desde diferentes perspectivas y estilos de juego. La lucha de Isagi para dejar atrás sus fijaciones y centrarse en su propio talento lo acerca a la esencia de ser un verdadero jugador, capaz de competir en el mismo plano que los genios sin necesidad de emularlos. Así, senos recuerda que, tanto en el deporte como en la vida, ser fiel a uno mismo es la clave para alcanzar el verdadero éxito.
