Of course they will comeback even when it looks like they can't do anything (they're the protagonist team so when there are high stakes I believe they can't lose) already 3 - 3 now hm

The fact that Zantetsu's jersey said TAEM instead of TEAM had me laughing. Baka indeed.

Love how Bachira just dribbled through their entire defense and even messed with their goalkeeper before scoring. This guy follows the sigma grind set rule. Though I do feel bad for the goalkeepers in this anime; they're here just to get bullied.

After watching the surprising world cup quarter-final match this night, Blue Lock is the real deal to begin with. I like how they awakened. Shit looks sick af and pretty much deserve the draw so far. But the match still not over yet. Let's see how this thing goes on after that. Sitting right on my chair edge right now!

There is a phenomenon such as runners high or a shot of adrenaline that releases endorphins. So its not out of the question.. but for everyone to have the same experience.. is not likely. So twas kinda dodgy.

Behold of my awesomeness~

Pretty badass episode. Bachira 1v6'ing Team V was my favourite moment from this episode lmao

Team Z's (well the main players') awakening was damn cool.

The other players are polishing their weapons and going beyond but Isagi still has to discover his weapon.

The score is even now.

This episode is so good! Bachira is the perfect person to motivate everyone to start getting their heads in the game. His goal was crazy! Isagi needs to keep up with the rest of the team. He’s lagging behind and only Holding himself back by questioning everyone he didn’t do. Chigari is such a badass why his shots. Even the guy with the orange hair picked up the pace and made an impression during this episode. Very good episode! The shark guy was also perfect

The match is quite intense. I guess Kuon will get moved and participate, and Nagi will get serious sometime soon. What a match this will be!


I mean it's obvious what the result will be, Z can't lose or they will be out. Unfortunately plot device will be keeping them.
What plot, something like Reo getting hit by a lightning? Team Z has in them to win, but obviously that can be only drawn out by the right mindset. Think Netherlands vs Argentina, this World Cup, managing to catch up to Argentina and even draw the score in the last 2 minutes of the extra time. Team Z wouldn't even have to win if Kuon wasn't the first guy to betray his team in Building 5.


I like that the philosophy of this show is that "Awakening" lies only at the tail end of what you're already capable of doing.

But bro don't compare this to a real life. I don't know how a teen strucked by a lighting is any relevant to this. And in World Cup we don't have main characters that we follow, anyone can be a winner. In here are protagonists are Team Z, in order for the story to progress, they need to leave the group. And they are in the situation where they must win to leave the group. And since they are our main protagonists we KNOW that they are gonna leave the group therefore they will beat Team Nagi. Realistically it's impossible to improve that much in a single match, if team Z weren't our main characters, team V would win 100 out of 100 matches. But in this case they can't because our characters need to progress, so they will win with unrealistic odds, that's called a plot armor. Same with a situation when main characters gets shoot at from 50 people and not one of them hits- because if the guy dies the movie/anime will end lol.


If Team Z lost, they would leave Blue Lock, so either the Anime would change protagonists (which would be awesome tbh but I don't think any author was brave enough to shift an entire character cast in the mid of the story) or the anime would be about something else, when again the title Blue Lock kinda loses it's point right?


So now u know what I meant by a plot armor? Team Z has 0% chance of losing this because the author prevents them from it. Argentina IRL could realistically lose because there isn't a god (here, author) which prevents them to. (unless we don't know something)

I have two points:

  • They don't need to "improve" to win, the difference between Team Z and Team V is within only 40 numbers of (an already quite arbitrary) ranking. They just need to play with a mindset that will draw out the best of them.
  • When we're dealing with narratives, there is always plot involved, but unless we're speaking of some "Deus ex machina" type of situation, it's pointless to even bring it up as a reasoning of why something happening on the screen is good or bad. Team Z can lose but probably won't, because we're watching the story of this MC, not just a visual of some random events occurring. I don't see the point in reducing every story in fiction down to "just some plot going on the screen". What's important is how they're going to win this.

Yeah I literally said that. Just replace the "probably won't lose" to won't lose, that's obvious and that was I was saying.

I see Nagi is a popular character but if he doesn´t add more sentences to his vocabulary, I really don´t see why and when did he get his popularity. Bachira, on the other hand is seriously growing on me.

Bachira is a bit of a psycho but the way he thrives on a hopeless situation is pretty awesome!

Team V might be good but what Ego is actually looking for is the kind of talent that Team Z have; in the face of an unstoppable team they can evolve themselves on the spot and come out on top
