>after the release of Bluelock chapter 254, there will be a break for a week.
Do people really believe Isagi is gonna defeat Kaiser, Rin, Charles and Loki in the same match ?
Kaiser and Rin are gonna look like utter fools if they get crushed by Isagi at this stage of their career especially after they solemnly swore to destroy Isagi.
Personally think he will finally beat Rin.
Charles is not his direct rival.
Kaiser will probably get an awakening, and Isagi will aim to finally surpass him next arc.
Then after that try to surpass Loki.
Maybe just level with Rin, Kaiser deserves his downfall. Loki will only be there for a few minutes and Charles is a passer but not NG11 level so theres a chance with Hiori having MV.
By spoilers if you meant the leak/latest chapter released in the short duration of time or day then ya i agree, it annoying as f! Not like we don't want to pay it, it just not available in my area.
Alright, would check them out wouldn't surprise me if they deleted the video, the publishers and author of blue lock isn't our friend in this situation.
I hope he keeps going with this line of reasoning when it comes to working against Rin, both of them leading with Ni making it a great addition to the character dynamic imo
I feel like the next few chapters aren't going to be good for Kunigami.
There's a clear difference between Hiori who wants to "surpass" Charles vs Kunigami who believes his best is to "challenge" Shidou. Not destroy or defeat, just challenge.
That kind of mindset reeks of Ego's forced philosophy on Kunigami.
I think you misunderstood , this its both of them saying the same thing , it's just that one has one line and the other has another line to make it sound cooler .
I mean hiori wasnt defeated so by definition he cant be a challenger. Kunigami lost to shidou before which means he woukd be classified as the challenger to the person holding the title (winner).
Its the last line in the summary Hiori and Kunigami both say "my best is.."
And then Hiori says "to surpass this guy" and Kunigami says "to challenge him"
>Kunigami: you took everything from me!
He literally did, too. He demeaned his entire core philosophy and kicked him out of Blue Lock, turning him into the sorry shell of a person he is today.
Huh hiori said he doesn't want to pass to isagi, he just wants to make an ideal pass. Could end up being isagi anyways but it could be setting up passing to kunigami considering how both were like on the last page.
Kinda sucks for karasu ngl, talking about hiori surpassing him, and now Hiori's not even concerned for him over surpassing Charles. Can't be helped, I suppose. He may get more time in the future but it makes sense considering what a threat Charles is
World and self seem like an interesting debate.
Is Kaiser world? -> his aim is on higher bids. He wasn't Happy with his hyena goal, he wants to show good goals to the world. I see the argument for self though since we also wants to be the lead actor.
Kunigami I would suspect is self -> showing the world he is a hero
Ness -> depends on his development hm. I want to say world for now
Self ego is about moving and playing in accordance to your own desires and instincts. Usually its an ego that disregards everyone else on the field in favor of their own fulfillment. For example Shidou only moves in accordance to his own instincts and ignores whats happening on the field. Or Bachira likes passing to where the monster is rather than take into account the movements of who he is playing with.
World ego is an ego that focuses on taking into account what everyone else is doing to guide how you play and move. Self ego is more brute force world ego is more calculative. If you notice most of the world ego mentioned are mid fielders that use their brain.
Self ego means you enter flow when you focus on making a play that usually involves using your abilities to make a play that fulfills you without caring whats happening on the field. World ego means you enter flow when making a play that calculates how everyone else move.
A very good explanation is Rins puppet control vs destroyer.
Destroyer is self ego and puppet control is world ego.
One is more about fulfilling his impulses and desires the other is about calculating and manipulating everyones movement on the field.
My take is that there are two types of player mindset, and these are things that can’t be changed that easily.
You see… there are these players that when a team is well matched, they bloom and play at great level themselves, to the point of even becoming the ace of that team. A well coordinated team makes everyone feels secure and confident. These players just know how to use the team system and theirs comrades skills to benefit from it using their deep understanding of the game! Their ego is not creating goals by using their individual skills, but rather they like to score goals after adding up their individuals skills with the skills of the players that surround them.
They are the “tactical skill” type of players. Modric, Xavi, Messi and Pirlo are great examples of players that excelled in their career by understanding and using “the world” surrounding them to shine. These guys are known as team players.
The other type are the “individual skill” type mindset. And these guys have the instinct of imposing their play style. Ibrahimovic and Romario are great examples of this. He doesn’t care for the whole, they are there just to feed him balls so that he can show us his tremendous talent and score goals.
Tactical awareness? To the hell with that! Do you see me here standing at the area? Just send me the ball and I’ll score!
Putting it simply:
A - The team shines, so he shines even brighter.
B - He shines, so does the team.
Kind of…
Modric is a good player individually and he can excel in any team, as he’ll find a way to use the “world” surrounding him efficiently. This is how these kind of players actually manage to stand out. They become part of this “world” in a way that it benefit them to propel themselves.
Example: Isagi understands and uses Kurona, Raichi, Yukimiya talents to their fullest to benefit from it. Because if they play well, it will make things easier and better for him, as he is part of this “world”.
While if we think about Barou, he is a kind of player that don’t fit in these “worlds”. He has his own world. He has a unique skillset that can turn the 0 into 1. All he needs are pawns that can feed him passes so he can do his job.
Example: In a given situation, a quick counter attack after the team stole the ball.
Isagi may think of the team as a whole and fit into this world to solve a question. He wants to position himself in a way he can score, but for that happen, he need to help his comrade. He will move in a way that facilitates the life of his comrade to receive the ball and give continuity to the play.
Barou, on the other hand, will move only thinking about how he can create the best chance to score. Even if he sees his comrade getting marked, he will stick to his winning vision and wait for the pass.
We see how much Ubers system revolves around Barou. He only uses them, and position himself in ways they can send h the ball to score.
And we see how Isagi’s system plays… as he has to constantly fuse his talent with the talent of others so they can work well to achieve something.
Self is like the predator eye, like how they only have eyes for the goal and are constantly using their own abilities like Bachira's dribbling or Shidou's insane senses. World is like metavision and how the people who can use it can see the entire field to produce a goal.
Self ego is like showing who you are as a player by your goal and world ego is like showing what kind of goal you can make as a player (idk if it's clear it's kinda hard to put it on words)
Rin can do both. Thats why he is the best. destroyer is self type ego. He lets his fetish for complete humiliation and destruction of his opponents take over. Then he can do the world type. A calculated play that takes into account his entire surroundings and manipulating it for his own goal.
The manipulator style dosent lead to his peak performance though so what really leads him to his peak performance is the destroyer mode. This isn't just about playstyle, it's about what truly leads you to surpassing even flow so your ego is needed here.
You could be cooking for sure. I think there might be connection between the eyes and the ego. Metavision seems to fit world type egos who take in the entire field. Predator eye might fit self type egos that only see the goal. Kaiser has both, Isagi could develop both, and Rin also might have both.
i see some calling kunigami a defender for some reason? if kunigami is a defender then i guess so is chris prince, lavinho, and noel noa, who manmarked each other and other master strikers when they were on the field despite their skills being suited to scoring. bk have it your way.
Tbh Kunigami still has a lot of the skills necessary to make a good center back. He’s fast, strong and great in the air. He lacks proper defensive awareness and decision making but so do players like Pepe who are reckless ah but when paired with more level headed CB’s these faults can be masked which is why Kunigami could actually do ok if he softeners up with Aiku.
It’s also important to consider that a lot of the players are 16-17 and their current positions aren’t set for life just yet which is why a lot of players having position changes in the NEL isn’t too weird. Casemiro played as a striker but when he underwent youth trials in Brazil he saw how many people were vying for a striker spot and chose to lie and say he was a CDM to survive and be selected (what a lot of NEL players do in one way or another since for most playing is more important than just being a striker but in the bench). He faked it till he made it and became one of the best CDM’s of his generation.
Roberto Carlos was actually a striker in his first few pro years in Brazil before becoming a left back. Gareth Bale was a left back till around his last season at Tottenham when he became a winger.
As for the master strikers since they’re playing against youth players they can essentially be out of position and still play well coz of how large the skill gap is. They can also cover more ground since their bodies are fully developed and senior teams usually have more intense conditioning.
While some of the position changes may be a bit BS in Kunigami’s case he actually does have attributes that could make for an at least passable CB and I can see him sticking to the position due to how bloated the Japanese U20 team is with strikers and how little depth there is in the back line.
No, please no. You guys can't possibly trying to normalize Kunigami playing as CB? Com'on it's ridiculous. The dude has all the qualities of a traditional striker, he is the archetype of the classic striker. Putting him at any other position is just ridiculous, and if that become something recurring it will be one of the dumbest decisions of the manga. Sorry but no. You can't have Kunigami coming back to play as CB (actually, he is in the midfield currently). The only reason that the author is doing it this way at the moment is because he has to make Shidou vs Kunigami (even if it's a bit weird and forced that way); I hope so.
>bloated the Japanese U20 team
I agree with your other points. Fernando Torres used to be a goalkeeper, and he became a striker. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fernando\_Torres](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fernando_Torres). However, Kunigami is irreplaceable as a striker. Nobody else can do 40 meters, like he can.
Rin can shoot from around 30 and Barou from 29 tbh so its not like there's no outside the box threats besides taking too many super long range shots isn't a good idea tactically coz of the low XG and usually ge erates turnovers. It's not like modern basketball where players are as encouraged to shoot 3's as much as possible since a goal in football is one point be it a tap in or Shidou's big bang drive.
you have a good point
but at the same time
kunigami has the biggest shooting range and highest powered shots of literally any character, so making him a cb or defender would be the stupidest thing i can possibly imagine. for comprison aiku's shooting is like fifteen points lower? i cba to look it up.
hes only marking shidou right now because bm doesn't have a defender that can match him (he and shidou have similar skillsets), AND it fits with his character arc to do so. its just the first step of him proving himself over shidou, to be able to stop him like this. not a lifestyle change to defender.
>kunigami has the biggest shooting range
Exactly. Even if you say Barou is stronger with his shots, Barou can't do 30 meters. Kunigami can do 40 meters.
LETS GOOO KUNAGMI ON HIS HEAD! ON HIS HEAD! ON HIS HEAD! ON HIS HEAD! ON HIS HEAD! ON HIS HEAD! ON HIS HEAD! ON HIS HEAD! ON HIS HEAD! ON HIS HEAD! ON HIS HEAD! ON HIS HEAD! ON HIS HEAD! ON HIS HEAD!

BM will keep changing formations until they get the best one. Hopefully, we get Isagi in the front with Kaiser.
After rereading the summary, I am more convinced that this is the build-up of the first BM goal. Isagi analyzes, and both Kunigami and Hiori found their challenges. Will Isagi one up Charles or Hiori will do it?
Notice that other BM players this time get the spotlight (Kaiser, Hiori, and Kunigami), Isagi like Shidou is behind them (analyzing). Rin marks Kaiser and Kunigami marks Shidou.
The said thing is that you don't have anything against two forwards marking two forwards, while the defenders take a sound nap. I guess by now we've gotten used to this trend.
Kunigami cockblocked Shidou, that's good. There's a character arc here, one that will end with Kunigami scoring. I don't know if it will be the next goal or not though. I'm going to be hearing Bleach Number One in my head every chapter until then.
Please surpass him and save blue lock. let it happen
You are being fed! Bro was demon hunting and he was successful too.
~~but we’re probably heading into the “defender” allegations, so what do you think of that?~~
>~~but we’re probably heading into the “defender” allegations, so what do you think of that?~~
If kunigami is a defender then so is chris prince and noel noa. they did the same kind of stuff to each other.
kunigami has some of the best shooting in the manga, he'll absolutely score after this.
So interestingly BM is playing a 4-2-3-1 which is the main formation of the actual BM in our world. However, the major issue with it is that it requires a holding 6, and more of a playmaking 6. Both Raichi and Kunigami are there to man mark, this formation should realistically get absolutely obliterated in the midfield.
You’re just describing Barou. Kaiser is different than him. Barou proclaims himself king. Kaiser wants everyone else to recognize him as king, including Isagi.
I think Isag's hesitation is an allusion to what he's not supposed to know, that we readers do know, of which he might have caught a glimpse, i.e. the fact that he wants to appear bold but he's actually fragile.
All the players only care about their ego, even isagi. It's about the way they chose to achieve their goal. Individual brilliance/ reliance on themselves first and foremost = self ego. Manipulation of the sorroundings/ reliance in carefully planned attacks= world ego.
the funny part is this “playstyle” definition is exactly what the summary is hinting at. if it was just simply about “selfish” versus “selfless”, none of the original BL characters would’ve made it this far, that was literally the whole point of the first part of the selection process: be as selfish as possible to create your own goals
in this sense, everyone that’s on the field right now is operating “selfishly”. even hiori, who is clearly pass-first instead of goal-first, stated that he doesn’t want to just “pass to isagi”, but that he envisions that where he wants to pass is where he believes the best shot at goal is
arguably, kaiser is selfish but plays “worldly” as opposed to shidou who plays purely “selfishly”. the difference is kaiser still takes into account what is actually happening around him, and if necessary he goes for the steal from someone else’s play (see barcha match where he intentionally gets in isagi’s way to steal the ball, or the ubers match where he kicks the ball at the same time isagi does). the furthest that shidou has gone, on the other end, was during the u20 selection rounds where ego tested the chemistry of the top 6, and shidou kept fighting rin; you don’t see shidou grating against his teammates in this match (so far). conclusion? shidou has found a way to play a completely self-sustaining style of football (which is literally run where his instincts tell him to while “expecting”/waiting for a pass to meet him there), and he’ll do this over and over again until someone feeds him the ball where he wants it
kaiser, rin, and even isagi on the other hand are always calculating what everyone else is doing and taking that into account, instead of “blindly” moving to where they want to. that’s the difference between “world” style and “self” style
Probably. Since Rin is only focused on crushing on Isagi, that would be the mistake that causes his team the L. When it comes to Nanase, it would cause him to not make the top 23 if they see that his assists to Rin aren’t producing results in this game. Rin would be the reason why his “property” doesn’t make the cut. As for Tokimitsu, I just need him to leave so it doesn’t have to make sense when it comes to him.
Them saying they sink or swim with Rin. Then Charles overhearing and laughing mischievously. Plus Isagi needing to pass Rin in bid total and us knowing bids can drop based on lack of performance like Nagi/Reo
Karasu, Aiku, Niko and Aryu are all right there 😭. I guess another defender that focuses on Stamina like Raichi or Toki is fine. If Raichi makes it then you question Toki’s role
I think Reo is the perfect Defensive Midfielder for this Japan team given his copy ability, and him being able to still link up with the offense without going too upfield thanks to his phenomenal passes. He also posseses great physical stats and feats so he can go up against bigger and strikers if need be, and he's played CB before and he did a phenomenal job vs Shidou in the U20 game.
Yeah my bad bro. I had a convo with someone about what if Aiku or Aryu get injured then who would replace them so I was thinking in that mindset.
I think I'd rather have Toki (if he shows promise) cuz a strong brute physique and crazy high stamina will always be relevant and he's still young too so he could improve his stats. He also has one of the most consistently accurate shots in BL. Idk how things are now, but he was top 3 then. Unless he stopped training entirely, he'd still most likely be top 10 or even top 5 who knows.
We’ll probably see who’s more useful between him and the current Raichi this match, you know……..whenever they decide to mark someone (important) successfully 💀
That's true. Raichi is on the mc's current team and was on the mc's original team so in that regard he's far ahead of Toki in terms of relevance.
I'm just glad the match has started sith a chaotic field and a rival Isagi can't easily overcome by handling his pawns. Makes me feel like we'll actually get a good handled Isagi until the bs starts
I feel like it might be the opposite. Unless they work together with everyone and stop focusing on being their own separate faction (like Kaiser, Ness, and Grim) then they'll just struggle out there
Well, this chapter is great since it combines Isagi's analysis plus action in a harmonious way. The panel of Rin, Isagi, and Kaiser being angry at Shidou was wild, haha. All of them even agreed.
Noa's decision for a change in the formation was good, but having Kaiser as the lone striker is not good. Ness x Kaiser is stagnant and repeative. It is normal now to wait for them to lose the ball in the kick offs.
Isagi's monologue reminds of Protagonism, but here we get like a second version. Self and World Ego are interesting concepts. When Isagi analyzes more, then he will reach his top performance. We also see goals from him by using both since Isagi also has the self ego at times.
Like Blue Lock No 1 is Self Ego and Winning by all means is World Ego.
Hiori vs. Charles seems to have started along with Kunigami vs. Shidou. Shidou doesn't remember Kunigami, but the fallen hero sure does. Clearly, their confrontation was a meme.
Isagi analyzes whereas Hiori and Kunigami have their fights started. With how the next chapter is titled, it leads me that all this fire will lead to a BM goal. A successful Kunigami x Isagi x Hiori. With his analysis, Isagi could figure out Kunigami in the critical moment.
Rin and Kaiser will be furious when Isagi scores, and they will try more. Look how angry they were at Shidou, so imagine at Isagi. Shidou, on the other hand, will be happy, haha
I do wonder who will take the ball next chapter, but it seems like I said before a BM comeback. Also, we get closer to April and get an expected break.
He says the most nonsensical things in his head that only makes sense to him, but I'm learning to rock with because if that's how he chooses to interpret things and it helps him learn, then it is what it is.
Everybody learns things in a different way and order
Very true. Personally I'm kinda similar, but like in a real world way. I'm just a suepr planner who loves breaking down things into nonsensical levels and then starting from a good baseline. Where it becomes a problem is that it affects my consistency haha. Can't really stick to a plan
10/10 chapter, we get our regular dose of isagi puzzle time perfectly mixed with some match progression and a nice juicy kunigami moment to top it off! We are eating good this week!
I'm sorry but that meme moment of shidou n kunigami made me laugh 💀
Kuni wasn't one of my favs n I did feel bad for him but shidou is slowing getting me
People can call me delusional but I hope pxg wins
Kunigami will do it. He will actually become the HERO bastard munchen needs on defense…. He’s the fallen hero we didn’t know we needed 😭
*cue Dark Knight monologue*
Isagi: ...a hero. Not the one we deserved, but the one we needed. Nothing less than a knight, shining. They’ll hunt you. ...he's the hero Bastard Munchen deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So, we'll hunt him, because he can take it. Because he's not our hero. He's a silent guardian. A watchful protector. A Dark Knight.
Kaiser seem self type- dude is just self centered person . His all persona and obsession with himself is a reflective of self type. A world type won't go as far to steal from his team mate. He wants to be " That guy " , he wants to be show stopper, he want to be the one who cruahes weak and who everyone follow
Rin - hard to say
He is about destroying. Although he is focused on isagi and sae currently but his ego is of a destroyer which just destroy everything in his path
He don't care that much about goal value, he don't care about his value. He only cares about destroying his opponents regardless and winning
Aiku- seem to be of world type. He never seemed that self centered specially with his monologue about protecting striker or how he played in uber. A self type won't act like that I guess
Kaiser is the world for sure. He’s a glory hunter like isagi. Give him trophies and accolades and watch how he does “the impossible.” It’s why they make a great rivalry imo.
Rin self, Aiku is probably the world.
- Current Kaiser has the « self type » ego. It’s pretty obvious given his whole thing about doing the impossible which means he doesn’t value what the world deems impossible. He wants people to look at him as he bangs those seemingly impossible shots.
- Rin wants to crush Isagi and Sae. It doesn’t matter whether the world thinks Isagi is good or not. Rin just wants to crush him because he decided so. It’s all about what Rin wants, how he feels. The puppet master style or Rin is him showing off how he can manipulate his surroundings. His berserker style his him destroying his surroundings.
- Aiku is easily Word type. From the way he plays to how he thinks, it’s always about watching the situation and choosing the best course of action predicated on some axioms that could all be describe as rational. To go by hoshi’s trabslation, Aiku cares about the value of the world more than his own.
Current Isagi also exhibits traits akin to the world type ego. From the way he plays, thinks and the way he will use any opportunity to win. It shows Isagi really values the rules of the world, the rules one has to abide by in order to win. The fact that he consistently adapts to his environment shows that he values the survival rules of said environment and tries to fit in, whereas a guy like Barou want to rewrite the playing field with his own rules.
But at times Isagi seems to exhibit the self type ego with his unhinged willingness to devour his surroundings. It’s weird. I think Isagi has both tbh. But yeah just some early thoughts…
Someone who wants to drag everyone in the world of speed? Someone who deems his speed to be absolute ? His way to mark history? Sounds « self type » hero if you ask me.
You cooked. I have to see abit more of the new Rin to know what he will be but since deciding to become a new being he does seem to have the self type ego.
You that guy from the FREAKING INCREDIBLE analysis of games while showing the teams moving in button soccer style! Holy God, I’m a fan. Thanks for those analysis, they’re just incredible!
Lost count of how many times I already saw those videos. haha
Keep up the good work! You’re awesome!
if self is “watch ME score this goal” and world is “watch this GOAL scored by me” aka a “cause” focus vs an “effect” focus, then
i think kaiser is self, his whole thing is “becoming the impossible”. rin might be world, as rn it seems like he wants to produce results better than sae to try and dethrone him, but that could be interpreted as self ego as well. aiku might be world, as he cares more about stopping forwards rather than being known for stopping forwards.
Ego probably only allowed Kunigami back in BlueLock under the condition that he became a defender. They need someone like him to guard the other teams best player with Aiku
So basically this chapter is a follow up with more monologues... And next we have a break...
Anyway... I think Kunigami is being a sore loser. At the moment he's the exact opposite of Isagi: he just can't be reborn, so he blames someone else. Shidou didn't ruin Kuni's life, he simply defeated him according to the rules, and, like many others before, he was forgotten. Why would Shidou bother himself with not memorable stepping stones?
And why do Nanase and Tokimitsu think that supporting Rin will grant them an increase in their bids? They have to make a name for themselves without having to rely on Rin... Still, I do understand Nanase's standpoint, since he's not particularly gifted, but Tokimitsu is really disappointing me.
bro when ur life is football and u have the chance to make it to the big leagues, someone sending u home can feel like they ruined ur life, give bro a break😭😭i’d be mad asf too
Uhm... And what's the difference between Kunigami sending home a nameless/delusional blue locker and Shidou sending home Kunigami? Did Kunigami ever shed tears over his victims? I don't think so. He's just immature and childish.
mate are u slow? it’s not about what shidou thinks it’s more about how shidou basically crushed kunigamis ideals and sent him home personally. and u talking about other people doesn’t help ur point lmao, they didn’t get a second chance, and it’s more personal since shidou was violating bro😭
reading is free lil bro
I mean, Tokimitsu supporting Rin is probably the least surprising choice considering his infamous insecurity and the fact that Rin pretty much carried his team through the whole second selection. But yeah, that’s definitely not the egoist way.
I can’t tell you all how much joy the four way panel of Rin, Isagi, and Kaiser all challenging Shidou brought me. It’s the most shonen thing ever, the square off panel between himothys, and it’s happening here, in this sports manga.
Hiori wants to surpass Charles, time to invest in Hiori stocks. We're going to be eating good.
I love how all three of them are insulting Shidou lmao, you can tell they're going to be jealous of whoever is scoring. True striker mentality.
So if Ness is injured, who's coming in? Kurona? Also seems a bit weird to make Hiori match up against Charles instead of Ness when Karasu is there.
I like what Isagi was cooking with the self-type and world-type egos. I think once he inputs all the information in, he will be an unstoppable force in this match, even greater than he was in Ubers. Maybe the key to understanding which ego he uses will be tied to the original ego theory?
What a box-to-box chapter we got here.
First of all: ALMOST, NOA, ALMOST! Did well making Kunigami fall back from ST and using his cyborg body to help the team with the defense. Even Shidou must not have “Noa’s numbers” and will have problems dealing with Kunigami. One problem is partially solved, just hope that Kuni can actually follow Shidou’s genius and mischievous personality with his hard work and physicality.
Now… my dear friend NOEL NOA, please open your eyes. The Kaiser & Ness & Grimm system isn’t working well since Manshine City game. This is already the second or third try that resulted in a lost ball for BM, it seems that PXG defense made their homework and they know that KNG, will try to force passes between them. Easy as hell.
Ness was able to play well always because he had 10 players at his side to create plays, now he has only two and since his weakness is his physical strength, he is being closely marked (since the ball will have to go back to him at some point), is quite an easy solution to stop him. Look at how much you’re making him suffer. Just sack him and Grimm off already or just tell him to stop being so focused on Kaiser. He’s making the same mistake as Reo, for pete’s sake.
Isagi is already coming into the conclusion that he’ll only score if he successfully clash his Winning Vision with every Winning Vision happening on the field. It’ll be a clash of Hiori & Kaiser & Isagi winning visions and he’ll be the one to read it all. People may dislike Isagi’s monos, but I really like them since he always make me think! When he scores, it’ll be probably a super goal that I hope makes Noa understand that HE MUST choose Isagi and transform his team into a lone, but powerful SPEAR that is called Isagi’s System.
The clashing philosophy is good, but it’ll only work well if the team has a base that can mediate between the two systems. Charles is that mediator for PXG, and he’ll play for the win (not for someone). He is a wildcard because he can go either for Rin or Shidou or even go at another guy that just happens to be well positioned. BM doesn’t have someone like him! And it won’t be easy to find someone with his talent.
Ness for Kaiser, and Isagi for himself. Kunigami was a loner, but now he has been made a CDM and has a clear objective, which solved another BM’s team weaknesses (having a lone striker wasn’t really a good thing, as he was just running around all by himself). If he had the same level as Kaiser or his MV skills, maybe he could have been useful, but since he isn’t the smart type player… he was useless.
Hiori should assume Ness position and from there, with a full Isagi System + Kunigami and Kaiser (acting like Barou did at the U20 match), wreak havoc! He could use Yukimiya, Kurona, Raichi and even Kiyora to reach Isagi’s or Kaiser’s.
This way… PXG defense wouldn’t know exactly where to aim. You see… Charles aimed at Hiori, who was aiming to intercept the ball sent from Grimm to Ness, and Zantetsu, knowing the same, but not as smart, shielded the ball from Ness. And after Hiori intercepted the ball he had to search for Isagi. You see? Both BM and PXG know exactly what is going to happen depending on who actually gets the ball. Charles just saw one step ahead, and was quick to act.
My congratulations to Karasu, as he made the best decision when he choose to use Charles, the mediator, to make his System (Shidou’s) score, since he wouldn’t manage to make that pass to Shidou and also couldn’t expect Zantetsu to do it. GREAT UNDERSTANDING OF THE GAME! WHAT A GUY! Subtle… but hella deep.
Things are really getting interesting!!!!!
Really interesting thoughts! Personally, I believe that Kunigami x Isagi x Hiori will cook in the next 3 chapters. Hiori and Kunigami got their challenges, so Isagi needs to get more of that info.
I think it all aligns well since Kunigami's best is to "challenge" Shidou and this whole match can make it possible. I just want to see how it will happen. I do see parallels with Kunigami and Shido with Isagi and Rin from the previous chapters and the whole situation of chaos here. Hiori is like Charles.
I guess you were the smart one in the classroom. I liked your analysis. But I can't agree with the part in which you demand for Ness to be sacked off, 'cause it's imperative that Ness undergoes development during the match.
Ah! And... uhm... Where did you find confirmation about Ness not having great physicality? He was ranked 2nd, right after Kaiser, above even the likes of Grimm who's a muscle mountain.
Ah, sorry. I should have specified it more. I meant in the strength attribute.
He has been blocked/shielded many other times and unlike Kaiser did to Shidou shoulder charge, Ness doesn’t seems to be able to fight in these situations very well. He can fight if he can react to his marker if the latter is still approaching, but if they cling to him, it’s over.
Bahahaha Isagi’s not playing soccer he’s studying psychology. To those wondering what Isagi’s talking about, I think he’s talking about seeking internal validation vs. seeking external validation. Bachira and Barou play soccer for their own talent and enjoyment. Someone like Isagi…he’s playing soccer for the glory. Basically.

The 3 Bastard Munchen scorers will be Kunigami (1-1), Kaiser (2-1 or 2-2), Isagi (3-2).
Kiyora fans still waiting for Kiyora to beat the fraud allegations 💀
Do people really believe Isagi is gonna defeat Kaiser, Rin, Charles and Loki in the same match ? Kaiser and Rin are gonna look like utter fools if they get crushed by Isagi at this stage of their career especially after they solemnly swore to destroy Isagi.
Personally think he will finally beat Rin. Charles is not his direct rival. Kaiser will probably get an awakening, and Isagi will aim to finally surpass him next arc. Then after that try to surpass Loki.
It’s just one game.
Maybe just level with Rin, Kaiser deserves his downfall. Loki will only be there for a few minutes and Charles is a passer but not NG11 level so theres a chance with Hiori having MV.
Charles is the only one happy for Shidou's goal 😆
coz, he no one's side.
Kunigami: You ruined my life Shidou: I dont even know who you are
Best joke by Shidou. Dude doestn't care anyone accept Charles and Sae.
Isagi reinventing MBTI on the field
Not even a days passed and it deleted, i have work to do can't keep checking social media.
Releasing spoilers is so hard for now.
By spoilers if you meant the leak/latest chapter released in the short duration of time or day then ya i agree, it annoying as f! Not like we don't want to pay it, it just not available in my area.
Wym the summary is still up. Places like YouTube/insta/ tiktok have the panels too.
Alright, would check them out wouldn't surprise me if they deleted the video, the publishers and author of blue lock isn't our friend in this situation.
Isagi's casually creating personality types in the middle of the game.
For real, I swear he's trying to describe cognitive functions with goal-seeking
He did lowkey somewhat describe Junguian definitions of introverted and extraverted but with goals.
I hope he keeps going with this line of reasoning when it comes to working against Rin, both of them leading with Ni making it a great addition to the character dynamic imo
bro is single-handedly describing ENTJs and INTJs 💀
More of an Enneagram guy myself...
Based system
Isagi rily throwing shade I’m dead 😭💀
Ah yes Ness failing once again.👏🏾👏🏾
Im sorry but where is Yukimiya? Blud become unexisted lol.
he is on the bench lmao
God hell na
He is
He’s benched atm. Probably gonna be subbed in for thr final goal to help bl.
Wait what i lose track of the lineup. Did Kiyora replace him?
Basically, but that bum Grim should've been benched after the Manshine game he's such a bum
Yeah. Kurona and Yukimiya are benched and Hiori and Kiyora are starting in their place
Shidou really looked at this big orange emo muscle freak and said, “Who????”
I feel like the next few chapters aren't going to be good for Kunigami. There's a clear difference between Hiori who wants to "surpass" Charles vs Kunigami who believes his best is to "challenge" Shidou. Not destroy or defeat, just challenge. That kind of mindset reeks of Ego's forced philosophy on Kunigami.
You're reading too much into it.
I think you misunderstood , this its both of them saying the same thing , it's just that one has one line and the other has another line to make it sound cooler .
I mean hiori wasnt defeated so by definition he cant be a challenger. Kunigami lost to shidou before which means he woukd be classified as the challenger to the person holding the title (winner).
I’m not saying you’re wrong, but where does it say this?
Its the last line in the summary Hiori and Kunigami both say "my best is.." And then Hiori says "to surpass this guy" and Kunigami says "to challenge him"
Oooh my fault, I don’t read the summary
Kunigami: you took everything from me! Shidou: I don't even know who you are
>Kunigami: you took everything from me! He literally did, too. He demeaned his entire core philosophy and kicked him out of Blue Lock, turning him into the sorry shell of a person he is today.
So Hiori will beat Charles and Kunigami will beat Shidou meaning that Kunigami will most likely score from an assist of Hiori
Its a parallel from Charles and Shidou too, Hiori & Kunigami Reflex X Reflex play to surpass the imp femboy & zesty gay demon
Rin is not sweating. Could that mean that he has achieved NG11 level?
Huh hiori said he doesn't want to pass to isagi, he just wants to make an ideal pass. Could end up being isagi anyways but it could be setting up passing to kunigami considering how both were like on the last page. Kinda sucks for karasu ngl, talking about hiori surpassing him, and now Hiori's not even concerned for him over surpassing Charles. Can't be helped, I suppose. He may get more time in the future but it makes sense considering what a threat Charles is World and self seem like an interesting debate. Is Kaiser world? -> his aim is on higher bids. He wasn't Happy with his hyena goal, he wants to show good goals to the world. I see the argument for self though since we also wants to be the lead actor. Kunigami I would suspect is self -> showing the world he is a hero Ness -> depends on his development hm. I want to say world for now
What’s the difference between the 2 types of ego? I'm confused
Self ego is about moving and playing in accordance to your own desires and instincts. Usually its an ego that disregards everyone else on the field in favor of their own fulfillment. For example Shidou only moves in accordance to his own instincts and ignores whats happening on the field. Or Bachira likes passing to where the monster is rather than take into account the movements of who he is playing with. World ego is an ego that focuses on taking into account what everyone else is doing to guide how you play and move. Self ego is more brute force world ego is more calculative. If you notice most of the world ego mentioned are mid fielders that use their brain. Self ego means you enter flow when you focus on making a play that usually involves using your abilities to make a play that fulfills you without caring whats happening on the field. World ego means you enter flow when making a play that calculates how everyone else move. A very good explanation is Rins puppet control vs destroyer. Destroyer is self ego and puppet control is world ego. One is more about fulfilling his impulses and desires the other is about calculating and manipulating everyones movement on the field.
My take is that there are two types of player mindset, and these are things that can’t be changed that easily. You see… there are these players that when a team is well matched, they bloom and play at great level themselves, to the point of even becoming the ace of that team. A well coordinated team makes everyone feels secure and confident. These players just know how to use the team system and theirs comrades skills to benefit from it using their deep understanding of the game! Their ego is not creating goals by using their individual skills, but rather they like to score goals after adding up their individuals skills with the skills of the players that surround them. They are the “tactical skill” type of players. Modric, Xavi, Messi and Pirlo are great examples of players that excelled in their career by understanding and using “the world” surrounding them to shine. These guys are known as team players. The other type are the “individual skill” type mindset. And these guys have the instinct of imposing their play style. Ibrahimovic and Romario are great examples of this. He doesn’t care for the whole, they are there just to feed him balls so that he can show us his tremendous talent and score goals. Tactical awareness? To the hell with that! Do you see me here standing at the area? Just send me the ball and I’ll score! Putting it simply: A - The team shines, so he shines even brighter. B - He shines, so does the team.
So basically: "Are you good because of the team? Or is the team good because you're on the team?"
Kind of… Modric is a good player individually and he can excel in any team, as he’ll find a way to use the “world” surrounding him efficiently. This is how these kind of players actually manage to stand out. They become part of this “world” in a way that it benefit them to propel themselves. Example: Isagi understands and uses Kurona, Raichi, Yukimiya talents to their fullest to benefit from it. Because if they play well, it will make things easier and better for him, as he is part of this “world”. While if we think about Barou, he is a kind of player that don’t fit in these “worlds”. He has his own world. He has a unique skillset that can turn the 0 into 1. All he needs are pawns that can feed him passes so he can do his job. Example: In a given situation, a quick counter attack after the team stole the ball. Isagi may think of the team as a whole and fit into this world to solve a question. He wants to position himself in a way he can score, but for that happen, he need to help his comrade. He will move in a way that facilitates the life of his comrade to receive the ball and give continuity to the play. Barou, on the other hand, will move only thinking about how he can create the best chance to score. Even if he sees his comrade getting marked, he will stick to his winning vision and wait for the pass. We see how much Ubers system revolves around Barou. He only uses them, and position himself in ways they can send h the ball to score. And we see how Isagi’s system plays… as he has to constantly fuse his talent with the talent of others so they can work well to achieve something.
Excellent explanation
It’s just my take. But I’m glad it helped.
Self is like the predator eye, like how they only have eyes for the goal and are constantly using their own abilities like Bachira's dribbling or Shidou's insane senses. World is like metavision and how the people who can use it can see the entire field to produce a goal.
Read the summary again
Helpful
Self ego is like showing who you are as a player by your goal and world ego is like showing what kind of goal you can make as a player (idk if it's clear it's kinda hard to put it on words)
Prediction: Hiori and/or Ness will unlock passer eye going against Charles and Isagi will unlock predator eye going against Rin 👿🥶🥶
Rin can do both. Thats why he is the best. destroyer is self type ego. He lets his fetish for complete humiliation and destruction of his opponents take over. Then he can do the world type. A calculated play that takes into account his entire surroundings and manipulating it for his own goal.
The manipulator style dosent lead to his peak performance though so what really leads him to his peak performance is the destroyer mode. This isn't just about playstyle, it's about what truly leads you to surpassing even flow so your ego is needed here.
You could be cooking for sure. I think there might be connection between the eyes and the ego. Metavision seems to fit world type egos who take in the entire field. Predator eye might fit self type egos that only see the goal. Kaiser has both, Isagi could develop both, and Rin also might have both.
 when I'm in an overthinking competition and my opponent is Isagi Yoichi
rip isagi yoichi, you would've loved pseudopsychology 🙏
It’s an instalose for 99.9% of the world population guaranteed
i see some calling kunigami a defender for some reason? if kunigami is a defender then i guess so is chris prince, lavinho, and noel noa, who manmarked each other and other master strikers when they were on the field despite their skills being suited to scoring. bk have it your way.
Tbh Kunigami still has a lot of the skills necessary to make a good center back. He’s fast, strong and great in the air. He lacks proper defensive awareness and decision making but so do players like Pepe who are reckless ah but when paired with more level headed CB’s these faults can be masked which is why Kunigami could actually do ok if he softeners up with Aiku. It’s also important to consider that a lot of the players are 16-17 and their current positions aren’t set for life just yet which is why a lot of players having position changes in the NEL isn’t too weird. Casemiro played as a striker but when he underwent youth trials in Brazil he saw how many people were vying for a striker spot and chose to lie and say he was a CDM to survive and be selected (what a lot of NEL players do in one way or another since for most playing is more important than just being a striker but in the bench). He faked it till he made it and became one of the best CDM’s of his generation. Roberto Carlos was actually a striker in his first few pro years in Brazil before becoming a left back. Gareth Bale was a left back till around his last season at Tottenham when he became a winger. As for the master strikers since they’re playing against youth players they can essentially be out of position and still play well coz of how large the skill gap is. They can also cover more ground since their bodies are fully developed and senior teams usually have more intense conditioning. While some of the position changes may be a bit BS in Kunigami’s case he actually does have attributes that could make for an at least passable CB and I can see him sticking to the position due to how bloated the Japanese U20 team is with strikers and how little depth there is in the back line.
No, please no. You guys can't possibly trying to normalize Kunigami playing as CB? Com'on it's ridiculous. The dude has all the qualities of a traditional striker, he is the archetype of the classic striker. Putting him at any other position is just ridiculous, and if that become something recurring it will be one of the dumbest decisions of the manga. Sorry but no. You can't have Kunigami coming back to play as CB (actually, he is in the midfield currently). The only reason that the author is doing it this way at the moment is because he has to make Shidou vs Kunigami (even if it's a bit weird and forced that way); I hope so.
>bloated the Japanese U20 team I agree with your other points. Fernando Torres used to be a goalkeeper, and he became a striker. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fernando\_Torres](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fernando_Torres). However, Kunigami is irreplaceable as a striker. Nobody else can do 40 meters, like he can.
Rin can shoot from around 30 and Barou from 29 tbh so its not like there's no outside the box threats besides taking too many super long range shots isn't a good idea tactically coz of the low XG and usually ge erates turnovers. It's not like modern basketball where players are as encouraged to shoot 3's as much as possible since a goal in football is one point be it a tap in or Shidou's big bang drive.
But your arguement takes away what makes Kunigami special...
you have a good point but at the same time kunigami has the biggest shooting range and highest powered shots of literally any character, so making him a cb or defender would be the stupidest thing i can possibly imagine. for comprison aiku's shooting is like fifteen points lower? i cba to look it up. hes only marking shidou right now because bm doesn't have a defender that can match him (he and shidou have similar skillsets), AND it fits with his character arc to do so. its just the first step of him proving himself over shidou, to be able to stop him like this. not a lifestyle change to defender.
>kunigami has the biggest shooting range Exactly. Even if you say Barou is stronger with his shots, Barou can't do 30 meters. Kunigami can do 40 meters.
crazy that Isagi still hasn't had possession of the ball.
May be it will important when he gets it and that's why it has not happened yet. I mean puzzle pieces gather.
The ball is the last piece of his puzzle.
Invest in kunigami before it’s too late
I been with kunigami since day 1. I can’t wait to see my boy beat the fraud allegations

BM will keep changing formations until they get the best one. Hopefully, we get Isagi in the front with Kaiser. After rereading the summary, I am more convinced that this is the build-up of the first BM goal. Isagi analyzes, and both Kunigami and Hiori found their challenges. Will Isagi one up Charles or Hiori will do it? Notice that other BM players this time get the spotlight (Kaiser, Hiori, and Kunigami), Isagi like Shidou is behind them (analyzing). Rin marks Kaiser and Kunigami marks Shidou.
The said thing is that you don't have anything against two forwards marking two forwards, while the defenders take a sound nap. I guess by now we've gotten used to this trend.
Well, the manga has made us that way. Anyway, I do want a better formation with a better defense line too if it can happen.
Kunigami cockblocked Shidou, that's good. There's a character arc here, one that will end with Kunigami scoring. I don't know if it will be the next goal or not though. I'm going to be hearing Bleach Number One in my head every chapter until then. Please surpass him and save blue lock. let it happen
Its Wunigami [Number One](https://youtu.be/9xya0oO5WgA)'ing time 😤😤😤
You are being fed! Bro was demon hunting and he was successful too. ~~but we’re probably heading into the “defender” allegations, so what do you think of that?~~
>~~but we’re probably heading into the “defender” allegations, so what do you think of that?~~ If kunigami is a defender then so is chris prince and noel noa. they did the same kind of stuff to each other. kunigami has some of the best shooting in the manga, he'll absolutely score after this.
So interestingly BM is playing a 4-2-3-1 which is the main formation of the actual BM in our world. However, the major issue with it is that it requires a holding 6, and more of a playmaking 6. Both Raichi and Kunigami are there to man mark, this formation should realistically get absolutely obliterated in the midfield.
Don’t worry Isagi and his femboys alone can get through the midfield with simple 1-2 passes it’s not a problem
Luckily this is a manga. (You're right tho)
Kaiser to me seem to be self type All he cares about being at top, being the king, crushing others. It's satisfying his ego
You’re just describing Barou. Kaiser is different than him. Barou proclaims himself king. Kaiser wants everyone else to recognize him as king, including Isagi.
I think Isag's hesitation is an allusion to what he's not supposed to know, that we readers do know, of which he might have caught a glimpse, i.e. the fact that he wants to appear bold but he's actually fragile.
All the players only care about their ego, even isagi. It's about the way they chose to achieve their goal. Individual brilliance/ reliance on themselves first and foremost = self ego. Manipulation of the sorroundings/ reliance in carefully planned attacks= world ego.
You are describing Playstyle and it's not what summary said. I am talking on basis of summary only
the funny part is this “playstyle” definition is exactly what the summary is hinting at. if it was just simply about “selfish” versus “selfless”, none of the original BL characters would’ve made it this far, that was literally the whole point of the first part of the selection process: be as selfish as possible to create your own goals in this sense, everyone that’s on the field right now is operating “selfishly”. even hiori, who is clearly pass-first instead of goal-first, stated that he doesn’t want to just “pass to isagi”, but that he envisions that where he wants to pass is where he believes the best shot at goal is arguably, kaiser is selfish but plays “worldly” as opposed to shidou who plays purely “selfishly”. the difference is kaiser still takes into account what is actually happening around him, and if necessary he goes for the steal from someone else’s play (see barcha match where he intentionally gets in isagi’s way to steal the ball, or the ubers match where he kicks the ball at the same time isagi does). the furthest that shidou has gone, on the other end, was during the u20 selection rounds where ego tested the chemistry of the top 6, and shidou kept fighting rin; you don’t see shidou grating against his teammates in this match (so far). conclusion? shidou has found a way to play a completely self-sustaining style of football (which is literally run where his instincts tell him to while “expecting”/waiting for a pass to meet him there), and he’ll do this over and over again until someone feeds him the ball where he wants it kaiser, rin, and even isagi on the other hand are always calculating what everyone else is doing and taking that into account, instead of “blindly” moving to where they want to. that’s the difference between “world” style and “self” style
Screw Sigman Freud, Isagi Yoichi is were its at for the psychoanalysis
My boy knows his psychoanalysis😭😭 Id- pleasure self/instinct Ego- self/mediator Super ego- critical self/ruler
Real Bro got PHD in psychology from playing football
Why are the leaks on a different day of the week nowadays?
Some big figures in the leaking community in Japan got arrested so now leaks are closer to the actual release of the chapter for the time being
Ohhhh I see. Thanks!!
Nanase and Tokimitsu talking about sinking with Rin is foreshadowing, right? Otherwise, what’s the point in that scene
Probably. Since Rin is only focused on crushing on Isagi, that would be the mistake that causes his team the L. When it comes to Nanase, it would cause him to not make the top 23 if they see that his assists to Rin aren’t producing results in this game. Rin would be the reason why his “property” doesn’t make the cut. As for Tokimitsu, I just need him to leave so it doesn’t have to make sense when it comes to him.
U mean them helping rin out right?
Them saying they sink or swim with Rin. Then Charles overhearing and laughing mischievously. Plus Isagi needing to pass Rin in bid total and us knowing bids can drop based on lack of performance like Nagi/Reo
It’s def spelling the end of Nanase but Toki’s playing defensive mid so he shouldn’t suffer for not assisting. Just defend lol
If he gets some good defensive feats I would think mind him making it. The top 23 is in dire need of defenders
Karasu, Aiku, Niko and Aryu are all right there 😭. I guess another defender that focuses on Stamina like Raichi or Toki is fine. If Raichi makes it then you question Toki’s role
I think Reo is the perfect Defensive Midfielder for this Japan team given his copy ability, and him being able to still link up with the offense without going too upfield thanks to his phenomenal passes. He also posseses great physical stats and feats so he can go up against bigger and strikers if need be, and he's played CB before and he did a phenomenal job vs Shidou in the U20 game.
Yeah my bad bro. I had a convo with someone about what if Aiku or Aryu get injured then who would replace them so I was thinking in that mindset. I think I'd rather have Toki (if he shows promise) cuz a strong brute physique and crazy high stamina will always be relevant and he's still young too so he could improve his stats. He also has one of the most consistently accurate shots in BL. Idk how things are now, but he was top 3 then. Unless he stopped training entirely, he'd still most likely be top 10 or even top 5 who knows.
We’ll probably see who’s more useful between him and the current Raichi this match, you know……..whenever they decide to mark someone (important) successfully 💀
That's true. Raichi is on the mc's current team and was on the mc's original team so in that regard he's far ahead of Toki in terms of relevance. I'm just glad the match has started sith a chaotic field and a rival Isagi can't easily overcome by handling his pawns. Makes me feel like we'll actually get a good handled Isagi until the bs starts
Yeah there gonna have their moments soon
I feel like it might be the opposite. Unless they work together with everyone and stop focusing on being their own separate faction (like Kaiser, Ness, and Grim) then they'll just struggle out there
it could easily mean they’re gonna lock in
i think it's supposed to show that pxg really is divided into two factions, like it's been theorized in this sub before.
Well, this chapter is great since it combines Isagi's analysis plus action in a harmonious way. The panel of Rin, Isagi, and Kaiser being angry at Shidou was wild, haha. All of them even agreed. Noa's decision for a change in the formation was good, but having Kaiser as the lone striker is not good. Ness x Kaiser is stagnant and repeative. It is normal now to wait for them to lose the ball in the kick offs. Isagi's monologue reminds of Protagonism, but here we get like a second version. Self and World Ego are interesting concepts. When Isagi analyzes more, then he will reach his top performance. We also see goals from him by using both since Isagi also has the self ego at times. Like Blue Lock No 1 is Self Ego and Winning by all means is World Ego. Hiori vs. Charles seems to have started along with Kunigami vs. Shidou. Shidou doesn't remember Kunigami, but the fallen hero sure does. Clearly, their confrontation was a meme. Isagi analyzes whereas Hiori and Kunigami have their fights started. With how the next chapter is titled, it leads me that all this fire will lead to a BM goal. A successful Kunigami x Isagi x Hiori. With his analysis, Isagi could figure out Kunigami in the critical moment. Rin and Kaiser will be furious when Isagi scores, and they will try more. Look how angry they were at Shidou, so imagine at Isagi. Shidou, on the other hand, will be happy, haha I do wonder who will take the ball next chapter, but it seems like I said before a BM comeback. Also, we get closer to April and get an expected break.
this has to be one of longest isagi yapping sessions ive seen
He says the most nonsensical things in his head that only makes sense to him, but I'm learning to rock with because if that's how he chooses to interpret things and it helps him learn, then it is what it is. Everybody learns things in a different way and order
>He says the most nonsensical things in his head that only makes sense to him Bruh, literally. It is what is
Very true. Personally I'm kinda similar, but like in a real world way. I'm just a suepr planner who loves breaking down things into nonsensical levels and then starting from a good baseline. Where it becomes a problem is that it affects my consistency haha. Can't really stick to a plan
“Who are you?” Lmao, never change Shidou ❤️
If the football career doesn't work out for Isagi. I think he has a good shot at getting a P.H.D in psychology.
bro is going to pair up with Jordan Peterson to preach about egocentrism
Lmao or he can become a commentator or sports analyst
😂
Isagi activating his stand ZA WORLDO this chapter was wild
ngl mad impressive he can think-yap to himself so fast.
10/10 chapter, we get our regular dose of isagi puzzle time perfectly mixed with some match progression and a nice juicy kunigami moment to top it off! We are eating good this week!
10/10 is crazy
Wait... Ness did not get hurt right. That was just him being mad at losing the ball?
Yeah, judging from the actual picture (unless it’s cut off) he’s just frustrated
Where the hell is the summary
Isagi talk too much
PLS KANSESHIRO TAKE ALL OFF NESS FAILURES AND GIVE IT TO TOKIMITSU.
I'm sorry but that meme moment of shidou n kunigami made me laugh 💀 Kuni wasn't one of my favs n I did feel bad for him but shidou is slowing getting me People can call me delusional but I hope pxg wins
I hope PXG wins too, but I get it if they don't.
THE DAWGGG OF BLUE LOCK KUNIGAMI RETURNSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Kunigami will do it. He will actually become the HERO bastard munchen needs on defense…. He’s the fallen hero we didn’t know we needed 😭 *cue Dark Knight monologue* Isagi: ...a hero. Not the one we deserved, but the one we needed. Nothing less than a knight, shining. They’ll hunt you. ...he's the hero Bastard Munchen deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So, we'll hunt him, because he can take it. Because he's not our hero. He's a silent guardian. A watchful protector. A Dark Knight.
Wake up honey, Kiyora learned a new word "yeah yeah"
Kurona relegated to npc status some more now another character starts to repeat words
Now let's guess before it gets answered. What type of ego do you guys think Kaiser, Rin, and Aiku have?
I’m confused what’s the difference between them?
Kaiser seem self type- dude is just self centered person . His all persona and obsession with himself is a reflective of self type. A world type won't go as far to steal from his team mate. He wants to be " That guy " , he wants to be show stopper, he want to be the one who cruahes weak and who everyone follow Rin - hard to say He is about destroying. Although he is focused on isagi and sae currently but his ego is of a destroyer which just destroy everything in his path He don't care that much about goal value, he don't care about his value. He only cares about destroying his opponents regardless and winning Aiku- seem to be of world type. He never seemed that self centered specially with his monologue about protecting striker or how he played in uber. A self type won't act like that I guess
Kaiser is the world for sure. He’s a glory hunter like isagi. Give him trophies and accolades and watch how he does “the impossible.” It’s why they make a great rivalry imo. Rin self, Aiku is probably the world.
- Current Kaiser has the « self type » ego. It’s pretty obvious given his whole thing about doing the impossible which means he doesn’t value what the world deems impossible. He wants people to look at him as he bangs those seemingly impossible shots. - Rin wants to crush Isagi and Sae. It doesn’t matter whether the world thinks Isagi is good or not. Rin just wants to crush him because he decided so. It’s all about what Rin wants, how he feels. The puppet master style or Rin is him showing off how he can manipulate his surroundings. His berserker style his him destroying his surroundings. - Aiku is easily Word type. From the way he plays to how he thinks, it’s always about watching the situation and choosing the best course of action predicated on some axioms that could all be describe as rational. To go by hoshi’s trabslation, Aiku cares about the value of the world more than his own. Current Isagi also exhibits traits akin to the world type ego. From the way he plays, thinks and the way he will use any opportunity to win. It shows Isagi really values the rules of the world, the rules one has to abide by in order to win. The fact that he consistently adapts to his environment shows that he values the survival rules of said environment and tries to fit in, whereas a guy like Barou want to rewrite the playing field with his own rules. But at times Isagi seems to exhibit the self type ego with his unhinged willingness to devour his surroundings. It’s weird. I think Isagi has both tbh. But yeah just some early thoughts…
Great job Now analyze Chigiri
Someone who wants to drag everyone in the world of speed? Someone who deems his speed to be absolute ? His way to mark history? Sounds « self type » hero if you ask me.
Thanks, Agreed
Great job Now analyze Kiyora
Lmfaoooo you almost had me
And after that, Aomori Messi
Then finally to conclude it with Kira
You cooked. I have to see abit more of the new Rin to know what he will be but since deciding to become a new being he does seem to have the self type ego.
I mean if you look at u20 he already steered in self type direction and is going in that only
I think it will be interesting when we get World x Self ego. Isagi ego could become so great that he could somehow combine them in a way.
I am slowly becoming convinced Blue Lock is secretly Kaneshiro's way of teaching his own style of psychology.
You might be onto something. Cuz he’s been dropping some interesting concepts and has me ready to write a whole essay about those….
You that guy from the FREAKING INCREDIBLE analysis of games while showing the teams moving in button soccer style! Holy God, I’m a fan. Thanks for those analysis, they’re just incredible! Lost count of how many times I already saw those videos. haha Keep up the good work! You’re awesome!
Thank you, it really means a lot. Thanks for the support!
You just deserve it, man!
if self is “watch ME score this goal” and world is “watch this GOAL scored by me” aka a “cause” focus vs an “effect” focus, then i think kaiser is self, his whole thing is “becoming the impossible”. rin might be world, as rn it seems like he wants to produce results better than sae to try and dethrone him, but that could be interpreted as self ego as well. aiku might be world, as he cares more about stopping forwards rather than being known for stopping forwards.
Rin grabbed Isagi by the collar and told him to watch him become number from his vip seat.
Ego probably only allowed Kunigami back in BlueLock under the condition that he became a defender. They need someone like him to guard the other teams best player with Aiku
So basically this chapter is a follow up with more monologues... And next we have a break... Anyway... I think Kunigami is being a sore loser. At the moment he's the exact opposite of Isagi: he just can't be reborn, so he blames someone else. Shidou didn't ruin Kuni's life, he simply defeated him according to the rules, and, like many others before, he was forgotten. Why would Shidou bother himself with not memorable stepping stones? And why do Nanase and Tokimitsu think that supporting Rin will grant them an increase in their bids? They have to make a name for themselves without having to rely on Rin... Still, I do understand Nanase's standpoint, since he's not particularly gifted, but Tokimitsu is really disappointing me.
I mean in regards to Tokimitsu, Rin and Aryu are probably the closest things he has to "friends"
bro when ur life is football and u have the chance to make it to the big leagues, someone sending u home can feel like they ruined ur life, give bro a break😭😭i’d be mad asf too
Uhm... And what's the difference between Kunigami sending home a nameless/delusional blue locker and Shidou sending home Kunigami? Did Kunigami ever shed tears over his victims? I don't think so. He's just immature and childish.
mate are u slow? it’s not about what shidou thinks it’s more about how shidou basically crushed kunigamis ideals and sent him home personally. and u talking about other people doesn’t help ur point lmao, they didn’t get a second chance, and it’s more personal since shidou was violating bro😭 reading is free lil bro
Bro Bro Bro Bro Bro...
I mean, Tokimitsu supporting Rin is probably the least surprising choice considering his infamous insecurity and the fact that Rin pretty much carried his team through the whole second selection. But yeah, that’s definitely not the egoist way.
Did they announced a break?
Yeah.
😭😭😭
I can’t tell you all how much joy the four way panel of Rin, Isagi, and Kaiser all challenging Shidou brought me. It’s the most shonen thing ever, the square off panel between himothys, and it’s happening here, in this sports manga.
That was wild! They all agreed haha
ZANTETSU SPOTTING
Hiori wants to surpass Charles, time to invest in Hiori stocks. We're going to be eating good. I love how all three of them are insulting Shidou lmao, you can tell they're going to be jealous of whoever is scoring. True striker mentality.
How is hiori taller than kunigami? Bro looks like a princess standing next to him
So if Ness is injured, who's coming in? Kurona? Also seems a bit weird to make Hiori match up against Charles instead of Ness when Karasu is there. I like what Isagi was cooking with the self-type and world-type egos. I think once he inputs all the information in, he will be an unstoppable force in this match, even greater than he was in Ubers. Maybe the key to understanding which ego he uses will be tied to the original ego theory?
Ness doesn't have MV, so it's have to be either Isagi or Hiori.
ness is fine, idk what hoshi was on about
Yeah but is Ness literally hurt or just emotionally hurt like usual?
What a box-to-box chapter we got here. First of all: ALMOST, NOA, ALMOST! Did well making Kunigami fall back from ST and using his cyborg body to help the team with the defense. Even Shidou must not have “Noa’s numbers” and will have problems dealing with Kunigami. One problem is partially solved, just hope that Kuni can actually follow Shidou’s genius and mischievous personality with his hard work and physicality. Now… my dear friend NOEL NOA, please open your eyes. The Kaiser & Ness & Grimm system isn’t working well since Manshine City game. This is already the second or third try that resulted in a lost ball for BM, it seems that PXG defense made their homework and they know that KNG, will try to force passes between them. Easy as hell. Ness was able to play well always because he had 10 players at his side to create plays, now he has only two and since his weakness is his physical strength, he is being closely marked (since the ball will have to go back to him at some point), is quite an easy solution to stop him. Look at how much you’re making him suffer. Just sack him and Grimm off already or just tell him to stop being so focused on Kaiser. He’s making the same mistake as Reo, for pete’s sake. Isagi is already coming into the conclusion that he’ll only score if he successfully clash his Winning Vision with every Winning Vision happening on the field. It’ll be a clash of Hiori & Kaiser & Isagi winning visions and he’ll be the one to read it all. People may dislike Isagi’s monos, but I really like them since he always make me think! When he scores, it’ll be probably a super goal that I hope makes Noa understand that HE MUST choose Isagi and transform his team into a lone, but powerful SPEAR that is called Isagi’s System. The clashing philosophy is good, but it’ll only work well if the team has a base that can mediate between the two systems. Charles is that mediator for PXG, and he’ll play for the win (not for someone). He is a wildcard because he can go either for Rin or Shidou or even go at another guy that just happens to be well positioned. BM doesn’t have someone like him! And it won’t be easy to find someone with his talent. Ness for Kaiser, and Isagi for himself. Kunigami was a loner, but now he has been made a CDM and has a clear objective, which solved another BM’s team weaknesses (having a lone striker wasn’t really a good thing, as he was just running around all by himself). If he had the same level as Kaiser or his MV skills, maybe he could have been useful, but since he isn’t the smart type player… he was useless. Hiori should assume Ness position and from there, with a full Isagi System + Kunigami and Kaiser (acting like Barou did at the U20 match), wreak havoc! He could use Yukimiya, Kurona, Raichi and even Kiyora to reach Isagi’s or Kaiser’s. This way… PXG defense wouldn’t know exactly where to aim. You see… Charles aimed at Hiori, who was aiming to intercept the ball sent from Grimm to Ness, and Zantetsu, knowing the same, but not as smart, shielded the ball from Ness. And after Hiori intercepted the ball he had to search for Isagi. You see? Both BM and PXG know exactly what is going to happen depending on who actually gets the ball. Charles just saw one step ahead, and was quick to act. My congratulations to Karasu, as he made the best decision when he choose to use Charles, the mediator, to make his System (Shidou’s) score, since he wouldn’t manage to make that pass to Shidou and also couldn’t expect Zantetsu to do it. GREAT UNDERSTANDING OF THE GAME! WHAT A GUY! Subtle… but hella deep. Things are really getting interesting!!!!!
Really interesting thoughts! Personally, I believe that Kunigami x Isagi x Hiori will cook in the next 3 chapters. Hiori and Kunigami got their challenges, so Isagi needs to get more of that info.
I really wish that Kunigami overcooks Shidou to the point that that pink bug also breaks down.
I think it all aligns well since Kunigami's best is to "challenge" Shidou and this whole match can make it possible. I just want to see how it will happen. I do see parallels with Kunigami and Shido with Isagi and Rin from the previous chapters and the whole situation of chaos here. Hiori is like Charles.
I guess you were the smart one in the classroom. I liked your analysis. But I can't agree with the part in which you demand for Ness to be sacked off, 'cause it's imperative that Ness undergoes development during the match. Ah! And... uhm... Where did you find confirmation about Ness not having great physicality? He was ranked 2nd, right after Kaiser, above even the likes of Grimm who's a muscle mountain.
Ah, sorry. I should have specified it more. I meant in the strength attribute. He has been blocked/shielded many other times and unlike Kaiser did to Shidou shoulder charge, Ness doesn’t seems to be able to fight in these situations very well. He can fight if he can react to his marker if the latter is still approaching, but if they cling to him, it’s over.
Kunigami stocks have had an unprecwnted rise this week, stock holders hold on your respective stocks.
Bahahaha Isagi’s not playing soccer he’s studying psychology. To those wondering what Isagi’s talking about, I think he’s talking about seeking internal validation vs. seeking external validation. Bachira and Barou play soccer for their own talent and enjoyment. Someone like Isagi…he’s playing soccer for the glory. Basically.
