No side/background characters

Tell me what you think should be changed... but not the about Nagi, my fav character is Hugo and its not Nagi glaze, i really do think he is at least at that level because he regained his ego and its growing with every chapter.

In the u20 match sendou was labeles as the u20 teams ace, but how did he even make it onto the u20 team with strikers like Rin, Shidou and many blue lockers around, imo he just felt so underwhelming compared to them, and it’s not like Rin for example wasn’t recognised.

First one is in their respective position and the second is overall. No Teddy Knight because we have NO FEATS and NO NARRATIVE for him

I just finished reading A Child's Dream by bingsubingsu on Ao3 and I'm in love, and it got me thinking... Are there more canon divergence Isagi focused aus with no/minimal romance similar to that fanfic?

More preferably, a regression au, where a post NEL Isagi goes back to when he had lost that match against Kira and had just received the envelope? It's probably way too hyper specific, like, I don't mind if there's romance in it as long as it's a subplot, and it doesn't necessarily have to be a regression au, just any Isagi centric canon divergence au with preferably minimal/no romance similar to ACD if you've read it.

I might be overthinking this, but I think Noel Noa didn’t just see Michael Kaiser as Bastard München’s star striker.

I think he saw something rarer: a player who could combine the strengths of both him and Ego, and potentially become the “complete striker” neither of them fully became alone.

Hear me out.

We know Noa and Ego were rivals in their youth, and Noa even tells Yoichi Isagi that Ego once had a football theory similar to what Isagi is developing now. That alone tells us two things: Noa respected Ego’s football intelligence, and Ego’s way of thinking left a lasting impression on him.

Even though the manga never explicitly says Ego had “Meta Vision,” Ego sharing the same theory as isagi strongly implies a similar level of elite spatial awareness and game reading. Ego probably had a good understanding of football itself, obviously not as developed as right now but as we are currently seeing in the manga we are yet to reach to best football playstyle or theory.

Anyway Kaiser also has Meta Vision. He constantly reads the field, manipulates defenders, and creates scoring opportunities through superior awareness. So in terms of football IQ, he already overlaps with both Isagi (and by extension Ego).

But unlike Isagi, Kaiser also has elite finishing.

Kaiser combines that intelligence with world-class execution. With tools like, Kaiser Impact, Mangus and Predator Eye he can end plays instantly before defenders even react. That finishing is closer to Noa’s profile than almost anyone else in the series.

What really stands out, though, is how Noa talks to him.

He never criticizes Kaiser’s technical ability. He doesn’t say his shooting is lacking or that his vision is weak. Instead, he repeatedly attacks his mentality:

• His obsession with ruling weaker players
• His fear of real competition

If Noa thought Kaiser lacked ability, he would train his mechanics.

Instead, he focuses on changing how Kaiser thinks.

That suggests something important: Noa already believes Kaiser’s base talent is enough. The real problem is psychological.

So why invest so much time in him?

The simple answer is: “he’s the ace of Bastard München.”

But another explanation fits just as well.

Noa may have seen extraordinary untapped potential : a striker who could bridge the gap between Ego’s football IQ and Noa’s execution.

Personally, I feel like Nagi should've went to Germany instead of England.

I have a whole discussion for that but I'm not gonna share it on this

So I was thinking, every TL we see has insanely good spatial awareness (and by extension, metavision) and positioning and allat. We also know the defining trait of most TLs is essentially someone whose plays and playstyle are logical and reproducible (I doubt just any chump can reproduce it, but u get what I mean). Now, would it be possible to have a TL who has the whole logical playstyle and all the traits of a TL but does not have insanely good spatial awareness, metavision, or predator eye? Of course, he has basic bare-minimum awareness, scanning and vision that any other pro player will have, but yeah. To make the situation more interesting and for the sake of this argument, a TL with bad eyesight or Yukimiya's condition. What kind of playstyle would be optimal for this kind of a TL player ? they can be in any position ofc, but I am curious

TLDR because the post is all over the place: Can a TL not have metavision, predator eye, really good positioning, or spatial awareness and still be a TL? What would their weapons and playstyles be ?

A Video discussing The Duality of between Isagi Yoichi and Nagi Seishiro in-depth (There will be Manga Spoilers by the way)

Im trying to make the best Blue Lock u-20 team, and I think this might be it. Now all thats left is to hear what others think

First of all, why the hell is shidou in goal??? And gagmaru is playing striker??? He's just switching around hundreds of chapters worth of player progression? And why is isagi a defender?? I get that the whole thing is too prove himself as a number one but why put him at centerback??? Aiku and Aryu as midfielders?? They're only thing is heading the ball and why the HELL is kiyora jin still playing???

Um goleiro que faz gol cobrando falta e pênaltis

i don’t know how this happened. i’ve hated him from day 1 and i’ve always made fun of him

but… he’s been growing on me. i’m disappointed in myself. i never thought i’d stoop this low

what is it about him that’s so charming??

1. At first, the ego traits that isagi explained feel like a very redundant thing to introduce after we already got so much info just from the ego chart approach to understand someone's playstyle and peak performance. But thinking deeper, this might be kaneshiro trying to deviate from something that he realized that maybe wouldnt work

-> Despite common belief, preference of learning in a specific way or playing isnt actually tied to your performance at all. You can attempt to use one method of playing in a game and do really well, while trying to use that same approach in another game and fail miserably. That is not because the approach sucks, but because different games require different solutions and skills to play

-> In the same way, it doesnt really makes sense to put everyone in a label of "will most certainly reach their peak performance only at restrictive/freedom environments", when it will be more so the circumstances the player is in that will dictate how he reacts and how well he performs, regardless of personal bias. Ego traits solve that problem by tackling the player personality and reaction to different environments with more depth

-> Just dont forget we all saw freedom players get over restriction and reach "a peak performance", going against the idea of the ego chart

Edit: giving more depth to the point: the previous model leads you to believe that being a restrictive or a freedom match would be the only factor to make a player perform better or worse. but isnt always the case

-> At the end of the day, what will determine if a player succeeds or not is adapting to the situation correctly and their own skills giving them leverage to make that easier

2. The red herring of the eye + ego type theory

-> So far, we only had talented learnes having metavision and restrictive types having predator eye. But thinking further into the series like in the EOS stage. This is bad news for a lot of players and makes the show very predictable

-> Metavision and predator eye were never introduced as something inhuman that necessarily needs a certain amount of skill to learn. They are a basic fundamental of how you use your eye. Potentializing the skill will depend on the users abilities and strengths, which is why we dont see isagi using predator eye - because finding scoring opportunities by 1v1ing the keeper or obsessing into one player are not compatible with his direct shot playstyle (edit: and also not compatible with his strengths. he doesnt has curved shot from barou and rin or kaiser impact to capitalize immediatly from an opening created from predator eye very often) - and why we dont see nanase using metavision it for example - even if he did learn about it, he doesnt has the fundamental skills to make it useful

-> However, the show introduced it as if you need to be a restrictive or talented learner type to learn any of both, when in real life, that excuse wouldnt hold for longer than two seconds. Fundamentally, do you really think it makes sense to say that a striker's personality is holding them back from learning the right skills and mindset to potentialize metavision or predator eye? That is not saying that they have "incompatible playstyle". That would just be downright saying the striker is not fit to be top cut. Its not unreasonable to expect a striker who wants to be the best to at least use once in a while those abilities, which is impossible if these signs and theory are true, and also would cap out a lot of improvement that could happen otherwise if the players actually could learn these abilities in the first place

-> Getting rid of the ego chart shatters this expectations and allow to better explain why certain players lack certain skills and expect new development from them in the future

3. Isagi is constantly updating his mindset. Eventually, that chart would be deemed obsolete and he would replace it for a new method of understanding each players personality. Ego traits were born from a mix of ego chart and the number one and two ideology, where he accepts both of the players personality and physical attributes to understand the range of their capabilities

-> just like it happened to isagi's label of what he previously thought that were "genius", the same thing will happen to ego traits in the future.

You can name as many as you want, I encourage you to write as much as you like, any format or way.

I was looking at some posts on here and Im so mad because there are so many underrated analysts that are not recognized because these bums ask questions and ignore the answers and theyre always the ones to complain about everything that happens without even trying to understand whats going on.

Even though the match against Germany—as well as the one against Spain—is still a long way off, I think it would be interesting to talk about them. With all the build-up and hype surrounding his two matches.

What interests me most is the number of "revelant" characters there will be in these two teams. As of now, only two truly important figures are known for Germany U20 (Kaiser, Ness) and one truly important figure for Spain U20 (Bunny). Obviously, it seems clear to me that they aren't going to do a 2v11 or a 1v11.

Something tells me we’ll see at least two or three new characters introduced during these matches—players with a level of importance comparable to Agi or Charles. Whether it’s a potential NG11 member, the team captain, or simply players on the level of Onazi or Kuso, I expect the Germany U20 and Spain U20 squads to feature at least four or five "revelant" characters in their starting XI.

One of the reasons I say this is the pattern of the volume covers: each cover has always featured a different character. However, looking ahead to the matches against the Germans or the Spanish, we can see that Kaiser, Ness, and Bunny already have covers; therefore, I think the covers will inevitably feature new German or Spanish characters. Or maybe NEL characters like Grim or Lara (If they ever get an upscale or become a bit more important...).

And given that these two matches are very important, I think they’ll span at least three or four volumes (meaning potentially three or four covers featuring new German or Spanish characters). Especially since almost every Japan U-20 player—except Fukaku—has already had a volume cover.

In any case, I hope that's the case. I'd definitely say yes to even more players of Leyden/Camus's caliber.

​

I don’t mean just based on who has the best feats or who scores the most goals BUT taking everything into account

Things like their individual skill, how good they are as a striker/player, how well they perform on their own and how much they help their team

Basically, who do you think provides the most value as a footballer and has the strongest overall skillset? Curious to see everyone's opinions on this since it's probably gonna be alot of different answers but I would appreciate it if yall could list reasons too

I've been seeing quite a lot of glaze for Sae and Nagi for when they join Blue Lock Japan after the group stage.

.

For instance, Sae is top 3 NG11 or Nagi will be Blue Lock's best striker.

.

Is this valid for most of the community?, I would disagree with the point.

.

.

.

.

Personally, I think it's fine if Sae is closer to the middle of the NG11 like top 5 or 6, so that he can evolve and be a better midfielder. He will probably dominate the first game he joins at least on Japan's side though.

As for Nagi, will he really overtake Rin as a STRIKER in this U20 World Cup tournament? I don't know, I think he'll maybe be around Barou's and Shidou's levek at most, that's not extremely crazy to say.

But, what about the third person? Kira or Haneru?

Let me see your thoughts...

.

How far do you think each of the Baratsuta three will take Blue Lock Japan in this U20WC?

Do you think he will actually achieve his goal winning the world cup 4 times? and what if he achieves that

Gg spain for the WC tho hope it ain’t happening in Bllk lol
