What a great chapter, there should be a blue lock in each country to see who creates the best striker.
Erling Haaland must have come out of a safe Blue lock lab xd.
I don't get the hype for this anime. It is somewhat far-fetched. I know it is anime but I've seen other anime like haikyuu, major that are masterpieces on their own without introducing far-fetched ideas.
People, especially government speaking outright that they are sacrificing the careers of everyone but 1 player is just stupid. I don't see how that would work out without public backlash. Apparently getting a materialistic cup and bringing the nation fame is more important than caring for its citizens.
So far it is an okay anime. Nothing noteworthy to me yet. Compared to this, I enjoyed Ao ashi a lot more which just ended a week or two back. I can see why people would like this but it is not my cup of tea. I am still going to stick around to see if there is anything good after some real matches begin. But at the pace it is going, I think it will be a while unless they decide to skim over some stuff.
It feels like more than it normally should be characters are forced into being "different" and "cool" guys, a bit exaggerated. Other than that, awesome.
Bachira and Isagi seemed to be getting along with each other. Which is good.
Turns out that they both have something in common. They both got this "monster" inside them. I assume this "monster" is their striker instinct?
Wasn't explicitly stated but we can all assume lol.
Overall, another banger episode. Can't wait to see the real match up next episode.
Man i'm really enjoying this, sports is not my type of anime (excluding one outs) but this is actually very entertaining. Im looking forward to see what the next epsiode. I can't believe this is like the weaker group, I wanna see what the rest looks like
Very good episode! I didn't got so hyped as the previous one, but it was very interesting either way. We understanded more how blue lock worked and the reaction people had to it and well... I would say it was pretty much what I expectated in both cases. Bachira god
I was sad when Kira-kun was disqualified he kinda resembles Oikawa of Haikyuu with his hair and personality-wise. I thought he will be one of the supporting characters for the MC, but I guess not? Maybe he'll be one of the antagonists in the future? Who knows. Anyway, I love how they're being forward and direct with all their selfish dreams and ego and for one not letting others took their opportunity. Loved the edginess. Looking forward for the next episode, I think it will be an intense one!
I don't know if it's because I started reading the manga a bit ago, but I don't remember Bachira talking about his "monster" at all or even showing what it looked like. Also it feels like the game against team x is happening so soon? Other than that, the studio is doing an amazing job of adapting the manga, and even adding elements to it to make it seem more powerful and impactful ^u^
I'm really enjoying the series so far and I'm looking forward to different side stories along the way if there are any. And I'm starting to really like this strange relationship between Isagi and Machira. I also like that you get to know the "outside" of Blue Lock and the higher-ups behind this.
I think many would disregard my point. But I, as a citizen of India, am pretty offended. When one of the guys started eating with his hand, they called him a "caveman", whereas we eat with hand most of the time.
I k I should ignore such stuff, but no. I have the right to convey my dislikes, whatever it may be.
If you choose to do only what you know, you'll never experience the joy of being able to do something you couldn't before.
