i just binged all of blue lock the other day and like obviously it’s so weird and good but god the characters and the way that they interact and grow is so well done and i want to post meta about how cool isagi is as a protagonist at some point maybe
(also michael kaiser they could never make me hate you)
the likeliest explanation for kaiser's dialogue being given in untranslated german at first and then without a translation convention when he introduces himself is that the writers/translators just forgot, but the alternate explanation that kaiser memorized how to introduce himself and give that corny ass tagline in japanese for the sake of being as theatrical as possible is hilarious
No one is doing it like Monkey D. Luffy. He’s a god. He’s a wanted criminal. He’s an idiot. He is an impeccable judge of character. He will punch an eight year old in the face. He forgets to mention people who are incredibly important to him. He’s an asexual icon. He has absolutely no marketable skills. He’s a selfish asshole. He has a very strong moral code that he decides entirely in the moment and will never explain to anyone ever.
