Blue Lock Episode 31 Review - Sae And The U-20

We’re now at the halfway point for this season as there are 14 episodes! The match with the U-20 continues. They are very formidable adversaries. Their being some of Japan’s top teen soccer stars makes absolute sense when they’re able to put the Blue Lock 11 in a bind. The opponents they’re up against easily deflect whatever attack the strikers have in hand.

Surprisingly enough, Sae works well with the U-20, but still has the lone wolf personality and doesn’t really bond with his teammates. He even rejects them touching him. Meanwhile, Isagi and Rin are actually cooperating and Rin isn’t being all arrogant in this match. There’s a difference between the two brothers shown here and it’s very interesting to see.

Yes, the animation is very distracting, but there were some cool moments. I liked seeing the U-20 members intercepting the Blue Lock 11 and how the BL players overcome the obstacles. It was cool seeing Nagi being pressed by Niou. It was nice seeing Darai and Otoya facing each other. There’s also a battle of speed against Neru and Yukimiya. Heck, even Chigiri gets his fair share of spotlight against Sae.

Though, the highlight was definitely Nagi’s goal. He finally shows the crowd what Blue Lock is about and even gets cheers for his amazing trap lock goal. There’s a reason why Reo could see so much potential in him and why he thrived in Blue Lock until now. He has a talent for the sport. I loved how the crowd were being good sports and cheered for Nagi, even the spectators who were streaming were cheering. I also liked the rather competitive side of Nagi when he decides to tell the crowd his name. He wouldn’t do that normally given how he likes to lay low, but I guess the match has gotten him fired up.

Now that more U-20 members have more screen time, I guess I can talk about their voice actors since the voice acting in this anime is so good. Let’s start with Darai. He’s voiced by Yusuke Shirai, who you might know as Sasaki from Sasaki and Miyano and Io Narumi from Boueibu. I was surprised to see him voice this character because it’s not a character he normally voices. Next is Neru, the Bokuto-lookalike. He’s voiced by Shunichi Toki, who is known for voicing Hokusai from Paradox Live. The difference between his higher pitched voice and his lower one is pretty crazy in terms of range. Last, for now, is Niou, who’s voiced by Takuya Satou. He’s known for voicing Toshiki Kai from Cardfight Vanguard and Alphen from Tales of Arise. Man, the casting choice for the U-20 still amazes me.

Regarding the Additional Time, it made me emotional. It’s mainly about Reo trying to practice what to say to Nagi with Chigiri accidentally witnessing it. Chigiri gives solid advice to Reo, telling him to say whatever is on his mind before it’s too late. Reo, remembering how Chigiri was forcefully separated from Kunigami and how Nagi ditched him, decided to take the advice but does it poorly because he’s unsure whether to be happy or upset, showing off a plethora of personalities. Why did this make me emotional? Because of the Kunigiri mention; it’s my favorite ship in this anime and the breakup still hurts, especially knowing Kunigami didn’t make it to the third selection. The vibes Reo and Chigiri’s conversation had felt like two women seeking love advice from each other—please don’t take this as me misgendering them because that’s not my intent.

I wonder what else will happen in this match. I’m super stoked to watch more next week. What are your thoughts on the episode?

Japan U-20 National Team

Starting Players

10 糸師 冴 ITOSHI SAE

A player who has garnered worldwide attention, even being selected as one of the “New Generation World 11.” It’s rumoured that he hasn’t participated in Japan’s national team activities because he had already dismissed Japanese football, given his exceptional and overwhelming skill. However, he has recently shown an interest in “Blue Lock” and participated in an exhibition match.

ESP: Un jugador que ha atraído la atención mundial, llegando incluso a ser seleccionado como uno de los “11 del Mundo de la Nueva Generación.” Se rumorea que no ha participado en las actividades de la selección nacional japonesa porque ya había desestimado el fútbol japonés, debido a sus habilidades excepcionales e imponentes. No obstante, recientemente ha mostrado interés en el “Blue Lock” y participará en un partido de exhibición.

2 オリヴァ・愛空 OLIVER AIKU

The Japanese U-20 national team is referred to as the “Diamond Generation” largely thanks to his impenetrable defensive skills. As a centre-back, he not only applies pressure across the entire pitch but also, in moments of critical danger, shuts down strikers with a free-form approach that defies conventional logic.

ESP: La selección japonesa sub-20 es conocida como la “Generación Diamante” en gran parte gracias a sus habilidades defensivas impenetrables. Como defensa central, no solo ejerce presión en todo el campo, sino que, en momentos de peligro crítico, detiene a los delanteros con un estilo de movimiento libre que desafía la lógica convencional.

11 閃堂秋人 SENDOU SHUTO

The ace of Japan’s U-20 national team, playing as centre-forward.

Despite his youth, he is already a regular forward in Japan’s top domestic league, enjoying both high recognition and exceptional skill. In a team focused on defence, he stands out as the top scorer, earning strong trust from his teammates.

8 超健人 CHOU KENTO

A left winger who excels at using his height to his advantage. His reliable playstyle aligns perfectly with the team’s strategy of solid defence and swift counterattacks.

9 狐里 輝 KITSUNEZATO TERU

A nimble right winger. Unlike Chou on the opposite side, he plays a distinct role, with his runs behind the defence posing a serious threat to opposing teams. Without holding onto the ball for too long, he keeps the play moving forward with a quick passing tempo, making him an indispensable “lubricant” in Japan’s U-20 team.

ESP: Un ágil extremo derecho. A diferencia de Chou en el lado opuesto, cumple un rol distinto, y sus desmarques en profundidad representan una amenaza seria para los equipos rivales.

6 若月 樹 WAKATSUKI TATSUKI

The defensive midfielder for Japan’s U-20 national team. His intense, watchful playstyle is symbolised by the dark circles under his eyes, as he constantly scrutinises the opposition’s movements.

7 颯 波留 HAYATE HARU

A defensive midfielder known for his height, which he uses effectively to intercept the starting points of the opposition’s attacks.

5 蛇来弥勒 DARAI MIROKU

The left-back for Japan’s U-20 national team. He sports body paint on his head and arms that resembles tattoos.

3 仁王和真 NIOU KAZUMA

A centre-back for Japan’s U-20 national team. Known for his rough, physical style of defence, he overwhelms the opposing attack.

Recorre todo el campo, desde la línea de fondo hasta el ataque, desempeñando un papel crucial tanto en defensa como en ofensiva, siendo el caballo de batalla no reconocido del equipo.

1 不角源 FUKAKU GEN

The goalkeeper for Japan’s U-20 national team. As the final barrier in a team built on strong back-line play and swift counterattacks, his greatest strength is his reliable decision-making. He shares a strong foundation of trust with centre-back Aiku When moving to the offensive, he initiates counterattacks with pinpoint long passes.

ESP: El portero de la selección sub-20 de Japón. Como último baluarte en un equipo que se basa en una sólida línea de fondo y rápidos contraataques, su mayor fortaleza es la confiabilidad en sus decisiones.

Substitute Player

13 士道龍聖 SHIDOU RYUSEI
