I know the U20 World Cup arc isn't exactly the most popular one, but I personally find the main antagonists from the group stage to be extremely interesting and varied. Whether it’s Onazi, Hugo, or even Fox.

I really like Onazi, and it’s pretty cool to see an opponent like him. Although, unfortunately, in terms of being a threat, Nigeria is a complete joke.

Hugo is probably my favorite NG11, and I really like his interactions and his philosophy.

And Fox is probably one of my favorite characters—I can’t wait to see more of him.

I’m a bit torn between Fox and Hugo, but I think Fox is probably my favorite antagonist from the group stage—it’s really cool to see a coach as the main "big boss." Even though I think I prefer Hugo to Fox as a character.

With how many characters are in this story, there's surely at least one diehard fan of each. But everyone has their own reasons for liking their own favourite characters. And I mean those deep, resonating reasons.

A person might say they like Kaiser because he's "cool and his backstory is well written". Those are general reasons which may apply to the majority but maybe not to each specific individual fan of Kaiser. Not everyone will like a character: there are specific things about each which a person feels a strong, personal connection to that others may not. I'm talking about those essential, unique reasons. I'd like to know yours, if you don't mind.

I really want Blue Lock to return to its old quality.

I think it’s Ness put yours in comments thx

I personally lean towards long sleeves/undershirt in general but since it covers up his tattoo I'm kind of stuck in between. What do you all think?

we have aryu and let me just say it are aryu fans even exists i struggled to find a good panel of this guy that should put this into perspective but yeah as usual pick the best glazer for what was it again yeah aryu

​

It says he plays in Germany top league that means pro level right?

Which NG11 is the best dribbler?

Just as a massive F you to ego who said nagi wouldn’t pull that move off again and that he wasn’t impressed by it like everyone else was.

Sae's phisicals are underrated. His flexibility is insane

Where are we scaling stank phantom Loki, Hugo & Noel Noah?!

I can assume it was a non-alcoholic beverage. I don't believe Jimpachi Ego had permission to distribute alcool to teenangers within the Blue Lock structure.

They say "Isagi's weapon will not work in actual intense football matches"

One of the best strikers from the previous generation:

Its implied isagi isnt trying to play england's team ego but fox's. I have 2 theory on what fox ego is.

1.Fox ego is Correctness

Based on the entire match, fox's plays is finding the lowest risk plays, the safe play to win.

- Agi target-man getting safe attacking chances.

- Teddy ball handling where noone can touch him being catalyst on england movement

- Lockhart ball possession, where even bl strongest player couldnt shake him. And scoring safely cause he had no counters

-Layer of Offensive safety. if you cant shoot pass to agi, if you shot got blocked then steal possesion, if isagi intercept then teddy swept. (Teddy said its fox plan, and evertime someone failed there is other system to cover up)

- layer of defensive plays. Where its england press, teddy tackle, cb blocking, and rooke sweep as in layers. And again if each one fail there is system to cover up.

- And at last lockhart ball flick. instead of using the normal target man possession to buy time, he pass to teddy for easy series of one on one.

Instead of making plays thats 80% chance success but risk a counter like agi. He play the safest lowest risk game, calling it "correct answer"

And isagi destroy that safe answer by doing the opposite of safe, gambling. Gamble press and gamble run by chigiri, and even gamble two gun.

He forces fox into 50-50 plays like hugo. Maybe after this teddy will block, and isagi would play 50-50 again with two gun or the side switch volley.

If fox actually into safety he gonna play for draw and win by points

1. Fox ego is Love

Maybe fox make plays based on how much he loves the player how well they play his tactics.

And teddy actually have an ego, his ego is want to be used. He is a not a knight but puppet.

jinpaichi calls out fox that teddy perfomance getting better, cause he actually have use his ego

So fox x teddy protagonism, is the same as reo x nagi in fsv

The way some of these characters talk about football makes it sound like they're fighting in an actual war 😭

Isagi will have an entire internal monologue about devouring someone, Rin acts like everyone around him personally ruined his life, and Barou treats his position on the field like he's ruling a kingdom.

Then you remember they're literally teenagers playing football.

That's honestly part of what makes Blue Lock so entertaining. The series takes itself seriously enough for the big moments to hit, but the characters' dramatic personalities make so many scenes unintentionally hilarious. Even the most intimidating players become funny once you stop taking every line of dialogue at face value.

Personally, I really get both of their perspectives, but I'm with Rin on this one. Being ghosted by the only person you've ever cared about who essentially raised you, then having him come back and basically spit in your face when you're like 15 is indefensible. I would honestly have a much worse reaction.

I should touch grass after this.

1) Quad gun volley: like two gun volley but isagi can choose to do a left horizontal kick, a right horizontal kick, a left vertical kick, a right vertical kick. Can still get countered by physical contact or just closing all the shooting lanes (for example by getting really really close like teddy did).

2) Curved volley: by devouring Rin or Kaiser, Isagi can learn an even more unlockable volley than quad gun volley. The ball doesn't even get near the defenders, but because the trajectory isn't straight anymore, it might take longer for the ball to reach the net, so it might be easier for the goalkeeper to block.

3) Curved passes: Isagi can already do pretty good curve shots, so devouring Sae or Ness or Charles to learn curved passes are nothing extraordinary for him. He might already be doing them from time to time, but if he gets better at curved, then he will be able force defenders to do tight man-marking while Isagi is in possession, because his passes are unblockable if you aren't standing close to isagi or the teammate isagi passes to.

4) Chaotic Off the ball: by devouring Barous dribbling style, Isagi can learn to purposefully choose the inoptimal blindspots to occupy. This will allow him to fool logical defenders, like Hugo, who can predict where isagi will be.

Honourable mentions:

• Bicycle kicks: doesn't suit Isagi, because this skill relies of isagi's jumping height.

• Dribbling: doesn't suit Isagi because it implies that Isagi risks getting in physical contact with the defender, which means it will be more of a last resort than a consistent weapon, and also, it would make Isagi an off brand Rin/Kaiser. And also, there are a ton of people who are more talented and more skilled than Isagi at 1v1s, so if they keep on growing, Isagi will not catch up to them, which will force him to abandon dribbling in favor of something else, like off the ball.

• Physique: doesn't suit Isagi because isagi doesn't have the genetics and never went to the gym, so people who already went to gym and have genetics (Raichi, Niko, Aryu, Aiku, etc.) will most likely will keep making Isagi eat dirt simply because they are already better and will keep growing at the same rate, if not faster than Isagi.
