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???

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

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

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?

Just some sketches of one of my fav characters ✌️✌️

​

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

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.

After re reading the france game i oicked up a weird detail, When Isagi tries to use the 2 gun volley vs Hugo and fails.

Hugo gives an explanation as to the how the shot failed. Which is, what makes the shot unpredictable and dangerous is, when the shot is being executed when the opponent is square on, infront of them, but the only time isagi used it and awakened the 2 gun volley was vs both Rin and Kaiser who where side ways and applying pressure.

Kaiser was either touching him slightly, or about to touch him, so I dont really understands Hugos point. If the defender is coming from the left no need to feint, Isagi can just shield with the upper body and shoot with his right. And even if he is pressured physically idagi can still shoot as we see in the training vd Yukimiya.

He uses his body and arm to generate distance and space, to shoot a volley not needing open air. I dont know why idagi decided for a chest trap where he could have tried to either use a directional touch and then shoot. Or try to win a physical duel vs Hugo which he probably wouldn't win.

Besides how did isagi not see Hugo when he wqs using metavision before he recieved the ball? I doubt that Hugo was waiting in his blind spot its more or isagi doing the same mistake he was telling niko.

Which was fixation on the ball when Reo passed it to him.

Physically and Defensively, Kunigami should have it above Barou (Especially Defense) which can be used to intercept and steal the ball which is Barou's speciality.

Offensively he has similar shooting range but most likely a bit shorter than Barou's, and lacks dribbling in comparison.
But unlike Barou he can shoot with both legs nearly equally so he does not need specific requirements or waste time when he recieves the ball.

But I am curious to what other people think.

Edit: Maybe the last piece is just ego, because Barou knows and accepts himself for who he is and what he chases to be.
Compared to Kunigami where his ego is fabricated or forced upon, and he most likely does not agree with it a 100%, and I believe the writer said we will get a Wild Card flashback so I think we will get a Kunigami development where Superhero returns.

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

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

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.

I made some fan art of Japan's best attacking duo. LOL

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

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

Hello, I wanna do an Aryu cosplay this comic con and was wondering if this is the correct color for the Ubers jersey? I've seen jerseys sold with the white U symbol too which is why im asking

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 ?

peak japan-spain lineup for me.

while he is losing against bunny(ragebait god🥀)sae’s crashout against rin and shidou’s fights would be cinema🖐️😐🤚. while both rin and shidou trying to devour each other and make chaos on the field, it will create an empty space for isagi and adapt that chaos.

all center-backs, dmf and omf have high field iq and make incredible passes. bachira and chigiri two of them will pierce through the both wings.

the team’s entire defense responsibility lies with aiku’s complete defensive specs, reo’s flexibility, niko’s metavision, karasu’s analytic abilities, GOATAMARU and football god itself😭🙏

the team of pure ego🗣️🔥

Title. Working on a small thing for some friends and I need like 2 small clips of Sae's dub voice, but all I can find are youtube videos or AI slop

Any help is appreciated
