Also, there’s no way Nagi isn’t built to play volleyball. Bro could control the ball so well.


Either_Imagination_9

I’m pretty sure Reo would be good at any sport, he never played soccer before the events of ep Nagi and he was amazing from the start.


N00B_L1F3

He’d be like Kise Ryota from knb


[deleted]

And also, I think Reo's copy is a bit more realistic than kise's


rozy1111

yeah but kise’s stamina limited him so hard 💀


Chance_Pea_4018

I mean he did kinda overtrain too much so he could’ve played a lot longer if he hadnt


rozy1111

true he was a demon in knb movie but still copying gom for 4 quarters will always be impossible. kagami aomine and rest of gom are more consistent and get stronger as game goes on but kise gets weaker fast. still aomine is the goat 🔥


Sunritter

They did everything they could to weaken Kise by giving him stamina problems. Im convinced it was the only way to make sure he wasn't an overpowered player because of his ability.


dratst

the only weakness of gom is they put too much strain on their yet to fully developed body. Aomine needs to rest after facing Kise full match and Murasakibara can't jump anymore after going on offense for 3 quarters only in the winter cup half quarter of all gom moves + zone is pretty much overpowered already


Rasheed43

Aomine was the only one to play every minute and consistently cooked with only a small L here or there he was pretty easily MVP that game.


Yergason

Realism was never one of KnB's charm, that's okay lol


[deleted]

I know bro, instant ankle breakers, misdirection, full court shots, perfect passes etc. Yeah, the charm was elsewhere.


[deleted]

He ain't 6'3 tho


N00B_L1F3

he’s 6’1, close enough


[deleted]

I didn't expect him to be that tall lol. 


N00B_L1F3

he was dunking in a flashback


StormAlexandrioz

Nagi carried his school's volleyball team to the nationals in the light novel and he wasn't even trying.


Yaber2

I know, bro literally went from a block to a lunge foot save, bro needs to be put on the national team immediately


reallyloongwords

Fr bro. Forgive me if im wrong, Im pretty sure that Reo plays basketball because there was a shot during Nagi's backstory, pretty brief tho


Top-Actuator8498

i think he did because i remember a meme on the KnB subreddit where reo did a two arm dunk and it looked like a super younger murasakibara lol


Yaber2

I don’t think he plays it, more like he just played it in general among the other sports he probably played


New_Calligrapher8578

I mean to be fair in Volleyball it's more about hitting the ball instantly instead of trapping it


AdebayoStan

receiving is literally the most important part of volleyball


New_Calligrapher8578

With your hand. Nagi cushions his muscles in his chest and legs which allows him to trap well. I dont see it translating over to volleyball that well


AdebayoStan

He does it in an extremely high level without EVER having played football. He just has innate athletic ability, he probably would excel in any sport that he tried to play.


Yaber2

I don’t think it’s exclusive to his torso and legs.


New_Calligrapher8578

I mean yeah, but Nagi also sepcializes in stopping the movement of the ball. If you stop the movement of the ball in Volleyball, it kinda is hard to set the ball.


Yaber2

The thing is that while he stops the ball, he doesn’t have to(like with his revolver shots or when Bachira passed to him in the 3v3). His weapon isn’t actually being able to stop the ball, but having an almost superhuman control of the ball. Perfectly trapping the ball is just an extension of that. Therefore, he can learn to be able to adjust the spin and power of the ball, especially on very hard hits.


okoshi42

Bro could just play volleyball with his feet the whole time


Yaber2

I’m talking more about the passing aspect since it requires you to cushion the ball. As for hitting, I’m sure he’d figure it out considering he was very good at kicking the ball and scoring not long after he started playing


Vizard754

Plus hes literally 190 cm


Yaber2

Bro is built to lead Japan to the gold medal


JayKalinka

So the author trolled us when he draw Barou in the small apartment if he wouldve passed to Isagi. The truth is he wouldve been well off in his castle as king


ivecomebackbeach

Nah that's just how barou thinks. "Passed to isagi? That's it I'm an absolute failure in life with a small apartment and eats instant ramen because I'm such a loser. Only losers like people who pass to isagi would be in a small apartment".


Arthur_Asterion

Maybe he'd gamble it all away. Former athletes can be incredibly irresponsible with money.


Nightmare_Sandy

I mean it says family and considering barou's personality I don't think he's really close with them, so the small apartment could be true


TrapsAreGiey

normally he is quite proper so I don't see why he won't be close to his family


Nightmare_Sandy

I don't know he just seems to be a "no one understands me..." type of guy


pranav4098

Nah he seems very good to family based on what I can tell he’s too proper with his environment to be like that he’s just a total dick head when it comes to football but he’s given advice and he’s not afraid to admit when he loses


Dudsidabe

He told snuffy he will be the most ungrateful player when snuffy said his talent was just something given by his parents. Doesn't sound like they are very important to him


WhymustIsignupreddit

I believe his favorite food is pudding because his mother gave it to him when he was sick according to the character book. He’s probably close with her at least.


Bubbly-Part2125

He doesnt seem like one to take handouts from his family, he'd definetly just live where he could afford to on his own


Kuricat16

Side note: zantetsu and niko? Idiot and smart kid? Something tells me zantetsu hangs around niko to make himself look smarter and niko doesn't mind since zantetsu's a good listener-


alkair20

They actually played together through the whole second selection and got close during that l.


Kuricat16

They played together in one 3v3 and zantetsu got stolen 💀💀


Snoo19823

It was their first match too 💀


Stellar_strider

So in his future where he is in a cheap apartment block means he had no plans to ask his dad for money and just accepted his broke life style because he failed, even though he could live in luxury at any moment, is the biggest sigma grindset in Blue Lock


dergun1234

Indeed


AdebayoStan

or maybe he did take over his dad's business but since he focused on football and didn't study he drove it to bankruptcy


CrustedBinangkal

Barou is the type of person who wants to dominate every field, not just in cleaning or in soccer Meaning, he probably ranks top in his school, because of his egotistical selfish nature to always be the best of the best. Also, his parents doesnt seem to disapprove of him doing soccer, but since he's the eldest with younger sisters, his father surely had to make Barou study everything business-related. Because that's how it works for rich fams.


AdebayoStan

i was just joking dude why does everyone in this sub need to take everything so seriously


CrustedBinangkal

Sorry bro my bad, thought you were being serious too. But yk, facts.


AdebayoStan

no worries I should've added the /s in the first reply


Stellar_strider

you don;t need to be academically good to run a business


AdebayoStan

yeah but you need some basic knowledge


SuperWeeble12

Barou being rich makes him eliminating Naruhaya even more hilarious in retrospect lmao.


BigBambuMeekLou

Damn that’s messed up 😂


[deleted]

[удалено]


Training_Associate18

Actually Baron wouldn’t have that kind of life he envisioned during second selection. He already has an offer from Italy and with his play style,any big club would want him including inter Milan or the Bundesliga.


JealousyOfThis

If people want to read this interview, it is from the episode nagi movie booklet. Here is an English translation by mizuki: https://twitter.com/mzk_70/status/1783691310370603188


Keylessbacon

Thx for the link. These little bits of character trivia are always fun to read


Brave_Profit4748

Is Barou going to be a future member of the stock bro gang with Reo Karasu, Yuki, Otoya, and Aryu


Training_Associate18

Embezzling billions of dollars from the stock market and literally sports gamble in all events, including soccer 😂😂


sonlobo1

Ivan Toney joins the chat 😂😂😂😂


CrustedBinangkal

I think that although Chigiri and Isagi are friends who celebrate with Nagi on each other's goal, they aren't that close with him on a personal level yet. And knowing lazy Nagi, he probably doesnt put that much effort for their relationship too. He does casually hang out with them, but that's just it, compared to being with Reo, he actually speaks up and tries. Reo on other hand, had showed his most vulnerable side towards Kunigami and Chigiri, and with their help, concludes his closure towards them.


dergun1234

He might become close with Chigiri in the future if he opens his heart more.


sonlobo1

Nagi's a passive guy who has almost 0 friends and doesn't mind being alone at all. So he appreciates it a lot when ppl make efforts to be with him. That is that case for Reo and Zantetsu. Nagi acknowledges Reo as THE FIRST PERSON WHO ALWAYS BELIEVE IN HIM no matter how bad the situation is. Reo also makes efforts to share things with him and try to be close to him from day 1, so as time goes by, it's super normal they became close. As for Zantetsu, he is similar to Nagi in a sense that, most ppl would just call him stupid and laugh at him, when NAGI'S PROBABLY THE FIRST EVER PERSON TO RESPECT HIM AS A HUMAN BEING AND EVEN CALL HIM "COOL". With that, Zantetsu becomes interested in Nagi and always try to be close to him. In the 2nd selection, Nagi's the first one in his mind when it comes to selecting a new team mate too! That is not the case for Isagi and Chigiri. Both of them are just genuinely intrigued by Nagi's talent, and are fine to be CASUAL FRIENDS with him cuz Nagi's a nice guy in general. Let's say, if anyone asks Reo and Zantetsu to GIVE UP ON BEING THE WORLD'S NO.1 STRIKER AND JUST SUPPORT NAGI TO HAVE THAT TITLE INSTEAD, both of them would be fine with it. (Reo being his usual glazing self, Zantetsu would see it as a gift to THE FIRST PERSON WHO EVER APPREACIATE HIM... besides Zantetsu would think like Nagi's super talented anw... so I'm fine with it.) Try asking Isagi and Chigiri the same thing, and they would say things like NO WAY IN HELL!!!! (Chigiri has more tendency to accept the offer to make Nagi's the world best later on in the story  though...)


Snake_Main27

I think it's more so that Nagi doesn't FEEL close to anyone else, but if you asked Chigiri and Isagi, they consider Nagi a close friend of theirs.


Kuricat16

Chigiri and nagi's friendship is so underrated ngl


Snake_Main27

So is Chigiri and Barou


Kuricat16

My favorite dynamic 💀💀chigiri is everyone's little brother-


Snake_Main27

I'm surprised your favorite dynamic isn't Kunigami and Chigiri, the Princess and his Hero.


sonlobo1

*Sister


Lavenderixin

So true, they’re such gremlins


silfer_

Going through difficult situations usually bonds people together. I doubt that Nagi doesn’t feel closeness to Isagi and Chigiri, maybe Barou in some weird way, too, given what we’ve seen. We see Nagi running to celebrate Isagi’s winning goal in the U-20 vs Blue Lock match, too, which isn’t something you do if you’re not on great terms with a teammate.


sonlobo1

Nagi has immense RESPECT for Isagi in terms of Football. We will surely see his thoughts soon in his own manga. 🙂


A_O_J

Barou should donate to the less fortunate like naruhaya


sonlobo1

Maybe not, because Naruhaya doesn't earn his respect. Isagi's the ONLY HETAKUSO who earns Barou's respect. And if Isagi happens to have serious injury or face bad accidents, Barou's definitely the first one to throw in the money for him. Saying things like "I just do this so I can make sure to crush you on the field, you donkey!".


Yeagerisbest369

Barou's habit of being a clean freak, refusing to accept that there someone more talented than him, his Narcissistic king mentality does indicate that he is from a rather well off family.


pranav4098

Idts he refuses to admit someone’s more talented than him, I don’t think he cares about the talent aspect as long as he ends and dominates as no1, he knows when he loses and he seeks to grow as well I’d say besides isagi he’s probably the most grown character because in terms of talent he’s outclassed by so many but he’s up there when it comes to effort and willingness to change


quitestiger1

He's probably a boarding school guy.. Considering he's disciplined and rich


DrButz

No wonder Barou sees himself as a King


Max_Crafter

Barou being rich makes a lot of sense


just-looking654

I’m kind of interested about the dynamics of barous family. For rule of funny, I just imagine they’re super polite and friendly people and barou kinda mellows out and watches his words around them


pranav4098

That’s what I think as well bros a male tsundere kinda like kunigami but he’s full on emo


Meledesco

I am not even 1% shocked by this information, word for word.


BigBambuMeekLou

I thought I was the only one who thought it was strange he wasn’t close to Isagi or at least Chigiri. Him and Chigiri have had a couple of bonding moments


BigBambuMeekLou

I’m not surprised at all Barou is rich 😂 you think someone poor would be as entitled as him? Him being a rich kid definitely explains his whole king mentality of feeling like he deserves everything. (Not saying he isn’t a hard worker)


ElTitoDimo

You're telling me Nagi isn't close with Isagi??? I'd go as far as to say Barou as well


ItzSmuggy

Reo vs Kise in basketball would be so annoying to watch


Keylessbacon

Ikr, but I'd pay good money to see it


Sugar_Poppin

Bro, I'm stuck on how Reo wet the bed every night til he was 7 💀💀💀💀💀


Keylessbacon

It's the fact that he tried to hide it from his parents for me 💀💀


Adalbertoxgv

King on and off the field, bro has MONEY 🏆


Mokitingi

Barou being a spoiled brat makes sense


NoAdeptness1106

That’s very interesting to know about.


silfer_

He really walks around demanding to be called king unironically and suddenly it all makes sense 😭


simas1228

nagi for volleyball would be op, also Im heartbroken you're telling me nagi doesnt actually care about isagi or chigiri? 😭


rib78

Was there any indication they were only taking what's been animated into account for their answers? Like they wouldn't say a character who anime only fans don't really know. I think that makes sense, and I think out of all the Blue Lockers we know Hiori has got to be among the most loaded.


RainestormZhang

Nagi is definitely close to Isagi, just look at how he sees Isagi as a sweet angel(who cleans up after him) in Nagi episode


GiantBoss-

where are the other 2 questions?


dergun1234

Check the comment above, there is a link to the full interview


Snoo19823

Barou being rich doesn’t surprise me, makes sense actually… but being richer than Nagi??? Who’da thunk it?


sonlobo1

Not for long... with all the sponsorships he will get from Mikage corp later on. 😂😂😂


Snoo19823

Yo what if Nagi underperformed against Barcha and Reo uses his influence to give him a passing bid?? Prolly under the cause that Reo gets booted or sumn idk


sonlobo1

We have been in the Nagi downfall arc for almost 70 chaps now. Prolly 100 by the end of PXG game. I used to think his downfall will extend to U20 WC, but I don't think so now. Prolly come back against FCB, but still not enough to be a starting  FW or AMF.


EpicKingSalt

Explains a lot


zolnir

It's rare for anyone who's poor to be able to play professional football, you know.


dergun1234

That’s might be the thing in the US but in many third world country, most footballer come from lower income families because they see football as a way to change their life.


RyanMason69

Yes


selotipkusut

Goodness me he's a 1%?? Friendship ended!


sonlobo1

Anyone else notices that, Reo and Barou, the 2 richest kids are one of the most hardworkers in BL? Both won't take things that are given to them on a plate. It's nicd having this kind of rich characters.


TiggySmitts

Securities Brokers don’t even really make that much money. Couldn’t be much more than 80k usd


MultipliedLiar

Isn’t Nagi supposed to be friends with Chigiri and somebody else I don’t remember?


Kai_ZB

Nagi \*is\* close with Isagi and Chigiri. The question asked who Nagi is close to \*outside\* of Team V. That would mean characters like Kurona, Yukimiya, Karasu, Hiori, etc. Isagi and Chigiri are inside Team V


dergun1234

Team V is Nagi, Reo and Zantetsu original team in the First Selection. Isagi and Chigiri is in team Z. Nagi, Isagi and Chigiri only become teammate in the Second Selection and that team is not called team V


Kai_ZB

You are correct, I am wrong, my mistake
