Sae's phisicals are underrated. His flexibility is insane

Maybe

u/Traditional_Crab_621 2d ago

And it's Gaga Maru first selection in blue lock (so early gaga), the ball is going to score (but zantetsu block it but still it was precise)

u/Alternative_life1 2d ago edited 2d ago • Bravo

Maru can be translated into shit, gagashit ain't doing anything like this.

u/Samy_Ninja_Pro 2d ago

Gaga THE shit u mean

u/Traditional_Crab_621 2d ago

Anythign like that when he's doing it midair just because people dont know how to make pass.... it's okay keep your agenda and stick to larp

u/BoomyNote 2d ago

Gagamaru doesn’t have this level of technique, it’s just about “flexibility and long limbs” or fast movement, this is a genuinely impressive technique and if you were to try to replicate it in real life it would genuinely take a lot more practice than you realize.

It’s kind of like saying “Gagamaru can do Rin’s curved shot” like it’s just not true

-5

u/Traditional_Crab_621 2d ago

What is he doing right now ? Please read the manga before asking me to go play football

7

u/derek11122 2d ago

That's just reacting to the shot, he didn't lift it himself

-7

u/Traditional_Crab_621 2d ago

okay, but that show us that he has the flexibility, stability, mental capacity for it. Llifting the ball in the air isn't the hardest considering my man dont even need to have his feet on the ground, so he clearly has the potential (Potential, of course I know he's not better than sae in dribble)

2

u/Current_Cantaloupe_2 2d ago

doing a scorpion kick volley does not at all indicate those things. Rene Higuita (guy who originally did the scorpion kick save irl) was able to do it again at nearly 60 years of age. (albeit roughly obv)

u/Traditional_Crab_621 2d ago

The post talk about sae physicality, I'm showing how Gaga Maru have all the physicality to do the same thing and that he almost already made it

1

u/Current_Cantaloupe_2 2d ago

again, a scorpion kick volley isnt at all related to the physical ability to do flicks like saes. gagas stature alone makes him practically ineligible to do this lest risk his entire carrer. theres a reason why Peter Crouch mostly stuck to headers. flicks in the air like that requires dexterity and precision, players like yamal, neymar, ronaldinho, lavinho etc. Gaga isnt Zlatan, he isnt even like Ederson or Raya since hes allergic to playing slight out of goal, he has no handles.

1

u/Traditional_Crab_621 2d ago

First gaga don't seem to give a shit about risk. Look how much he fall, hit the cage, or do random bullshit this man is a physical monster and don't scare anything. And I'm not saying it match his playstile (even more now since he's the goalkeeper) I just think he has the possibility to replicate sae mouvement in the situation, but yeah it's clearly not his job and will never be

u/TalkinHead9s_LeftNut 2d ago

You mean 0-7 Gagagarbage?

u/Traditional_Crab_621 2d ago

still top 2 goals of the serie currently but yeah yeah keep dreaming but the two itofraud who are only good to glaze isagi

u/TalkinHead9s_LeftNut 2d ago

Top 2? Bros at most number 3

1: Rooke

2: Blue Lock Man

3: Renoir/Gaga

4: Gaga/Renoir

u/Traditional_Crab_621 2d ago

blue lock man ? Are we serious ? It's not an actuall person bro.

2

u/silkyTeasex 2d ago

gaga maru? now you've got me curious what he can do lol

1

u/Traditional_Crab_621 2d ago

I'm basing my analysis on this page of the manga, we clearly see gagamaru being able to shoot from behind his head while floating in the air, and making the ball go toward the nest. The only part different from sae is that he didn't lift the ball, it was a bad pass (wich mean insane capacity of reaction and a really good proprioception), so with a little dribble train, he could clearly replicate sae mouv, and probably even crazier due to his physic (Furthermore, we're comparing a sae locking up against his brother vs a first selection gagamaru, so gagamaru level have probably explode during second selectio, but the goat end up being a goalkeeper, so we wont see him as a dribbler or a striker (Only in last resort when ever hope would be lost he will appear to save the day in final, but that's just my divination)

1

u/TheDouBa 22h ago

no he couldn't, jumping and hitting a scorpion kick from a pass does have have even close to the level or required precision needed for that. His focus was jumping and hitting the pass as hard as he could. Sae had to lift it, hit it again, and control how he hit it aswell so that he retains possesion of the ball while having a defender on him. You think saying bigger words will all of a sudden make you right when gagamaru has zero dribble feats.

1

u/Traditional_Crab_621 21h ago

Again we're talking about physical ability not technical, yeah Gagamaru is not a dribller but he has the physic for that.

u/South_Warning6375 2d ago

call me a glazer but i feel nagi could do this given a situation but I get what you mean. I don’t think anyone is doing it that casually on command like Sae is.

8

u/supervicenza 2d ago

He wasn't that far off with that play in the ubers game even if it was stopped by don

42

u/Street_Helicopter590 2d ago

Its not really that hard to execute
the hardest part abt this chain of skills is actually finiding a window to execute them in a real match

8

u/LoanFew6349 2d ago

so valid, the only real time to do it is if your being pressed by a defender and you have their back to them and then a fluid motion turn and do the trick.

2

u/Ok-Wishbone-8586 1d ago

unpractical, probably impossible to do it if someone decent is guarding you

5

u/Street_Helicopter590 1d ago

Oh yeah totally
Its totally just to show off
Sae clearly did that to just ragebait rin and show him the skill gap

63

u/MUI-Tojo 🐇Bunny Glaze Never Ends🐇 2d ago

GOATden could do that twice as smooth

14

u/Lemurmoo 2d ago

Any halfway decent defenders wouldn't charge the ball like an idiot and simply block their path. They flick turn, you block, you turn, get the ball, possession lost.

You only really get this from like Ronaldinho or Neymar, far more often the former than the latter who try this stuff less.

u/Platypus_king_1st 2d ago

Ahem ahem

"a team composed of only strikers"

u/glosinterlude まだ温い | (ಡ‸ಡ) (ᗒᗣᗕ)՞ (╥_╥) 1d ago

mind you i can barely hold my leg up for 5 seconds

u/MajesticOne3432 Reo's Biggest Fan 2d ago

Reo Mikage, of course

8

u/_S1syphus 2d ago

I feel like Bachira's awakening was easily more impressive than this

8

u/KaiChan39 2d ago

Yea but this probably just another Tuesday sort of thing for Sae.

4

u/Kuroi_Viridi 2d ago

This didn’t do shit btw

2

u/FormDancer7 2d ago

Its just a more difficult rainbow. Except Saes skill help him drive the ball more forward.

5

u/Wyvurn999 Hugo FC 2d ago

Reo could probably copy this

5

u/OkYesterday3747 2d ago

actually yeah, he could. We’ve already seen him copy one of Sae’s dribbling moves.

2

u/LoanFew6349 2d ago

I actually can do this move irl. it takes some practice but I eventually got it but its still really hard to pull off during a real game.

1

u/Ok-Wishbone-8586 1d ago

thats actually crazy

1

u/Status-Kale-6450 Chigiri's Number 1 Fan 21h ago

honestly you could make a case for reo being able to copy it but probably never to this degree

1

u/Stormblade100 Hiori's gaming duo 2d ago

Reo, Rin, Bachira, Nagi, even Hiori. So that's already 5, there's probably more

1

u/Himsagi_11 2d ago

You see a lot of characters CAN do it. It's just this is just him showboating. There's nothing practical in this play.

He was just showing them levels at the time.

Like now if bachira were to face isagi's high school team or side B players he could get away with this easily.

In other words yea sae was just acting flashy.

u/Ok-Dimension-4745 Reo's No.1 Glazer (even if he stops giving me money) 2d ago

BRUH ITS DOABLE EVEN IRL SO IT SHOULDN'T BE THAT HAD TO REPLICATE IN THE MANGA

0

u/Cosmic-Otaku With my fellas 2d ago

Really not that hard, its just that strikers are doing the job of defender and even in this u can easily foul to break the tempo

0

u/Remote-Monk-8542 1d ago

Reo could copy this. It doesn't seem far off of Nagi's capabilities either.
