| Isagi has finally found his special move T_T I'm so proud of him |

pierrelucascs said: phantomfandom said: I'm actually glad that this anime has 2 cours. But if it's just one cour, this episode would be a nice stop anyway. The Raichi guy, I already checked before that he doesn't have the same voice actor as Bakugo, but after this episode end I've to go check again just in case I forget, nope, still different voice actor. But the similarity is uncanny! I guess at some point Itoshi Rin will go against his brother, Saetoshi Rin. I hope Noel Noa will make a proper appearance. Wait what? He’s not Bakugo? I was 100% sure it was… Geez Besides, Raichi has gone Plus Ultra in this episode Yeah Raichi shares the same VA as Kirito |

| At first I didn't understand the scale of them compared to the higher-ups but the twist cleared it up |

| 3.5/5 Best episode so far without a doubt. Some good progression, reveals & twists along with great action ferocity. The first half was very tense and frantic, which I was looking forward to from the very first episode. The animation were mostly fluid but too many stills and jarring CGI still haunts this production. Although, to be fair the vital scenes were beautifully animated with great art or whatever but still nothing above average. Everybody had their respective shine but Isagi's unlock moment had me guessing until it was revealed. I thought it was gonna be some "future sight" bullshit he was alluding to last episode but nope, it was just a regular direct shot as he called it or in proper footballing terms, VOLLEY. Team Z emerged victorious and even bitchass Kuon got to celebrate, although not without getting his arse rightly kicked by the loud-mouth. I kinda starting to like this guy xD The twist near the end caught me off-guard a bit and I should've seen it coming in all honesty. Ego needs more screen time because this guy is really twisted but calculated, a quirk i generally fuck with. Everybody is on their own for this second selection and I feel like it's a good segue to the next arc or storyline |

| rin is finally here and we get into the second best arc in blue lock so far. looking forward to the upcoming tension. |
 |
| Wait, so if they only have building 5. Did those disqualified in the first selection still play or not? |

| Wow such a nice last push coming from them, the face detailed animation really on-point. Then its ended up with a direct shot from Isagi, self-aware of that kinda be a good stop for this first cour. After all, its depends on how Isagi grow to awaken his own weapon. So yeah, but hahaha that punch to Kuon idk why but i laugh with it. they were being fooled, idk why its also not surprising coming from Ego Jinpachi. He always had something hidden so yeah not surprising at all. So yeah in the end, second selection incoming, one more character appear to show off. Let's see if its more banger than what they've done previously... |

| An outstanding win against Team V but also quite unhappy that they are going to play individually and not as a team from now on. |
| Mixed Feelings... First 5 minutes.. 11/10... Then the OP starts and i think it was the worst moment, cause it literally killed the great atmosphere of that moment... Also, after that.. just a good episode, with what i think a bare (not enough/clear) explanation, cause i see many people ended confused and lost after the players/building explanation. |
| The truth is that I already expected the result of that match against the V team but in the same way I loved how Isagi found his true strength, which is direct shots What are you looking forward to with the second phase, I already want to see it |
I'm not a critic or anything like that but I like to give my opinion |
| well, at 22:00 they literally show him walking towards second stage so they literally spoiled us that he cleared stage 1 then again he is the MC, no way he would have lost, right? |
 |
| HUGE plot twist there, if Isagi isn't in the bottom ranks, maybe he's already one of the best 😳 |
Wow look at that forums are kinda cool uwu  |
| This show is INSANE man oh my goodness. I am sweating!! The end of that game was so dramatic, I loved it. Nothing to complain about 10/10. Although I did get a little bit confused this episode. Is every building just called "building 5"? The players in the other buildings still have higher rankings right? Or did they all believe they were the lowest? |
 |
Torrible said: RioFS said: So only 25 players, huh? That's good, if every other team afterwards had to have a player crazier than the one hyped before, I imagine the scaling could have gotten ridiculous. There are still 125 players. There are 5 Team Vs, 5 Team Ws, and so on. Teams B to U do not exist. Everyone belonged to the 'bottom stratum' (V to Z). Thank you!! I was getting really confused haha. So everyone believed they were the bottom-ranked, damn! |
|
| If this season didn't have 24 episode, I think this would a perfect end to the first season. Amazing episode, although I hope we get to see the brothers emotional good bye to each other. |

Stage 1 isn't terrible, but I wouldn't be too upset if they skipped it. It'd avoid a lot of "how did so and so players managed to pass stage 1?" complaints. |
rasterman7 said: Huh, so the whole Building 5 concept was a ruse, I was kinda expecting that since otherwise the show would have gone for much longer. Nice last shot, but more impressive was Raichi's run to mid field. He should be able to score now, right. Oh, apparently I did some "googling" and Noel Noa is jsut a fictional character. Too bad, maybe they could have used other real examples but there would probably be some legal issues with that I guess. Now it's time for the second selection and a new challenger approaches. PS: Tomorrow's the final!!!! If any of the real-life players used as examples in the show were to actually interact with the fictional cast in Blue Lock, things would be quite weird with that real<>fake dichotomy, even setting aside potential licensing issues. Anyone shown as a world-class player that was actually intended to be a part of the series will also be a fictional character. |
| of course they win. no surprises there. but the twist though lol. there's only building 5 in blue lock. though i didn't understand what was the point of first seelection if everyone just gets opportunity to participate in second stage? read through the posts and understood what it really is. second stage is even more difficult than stage one? that should be interesting to see. |

 The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama. Feeling half happy, half sad. Kawaii waifus and precious best girls <3333 |
| Great intro to Rin! I hope that in the next episode or in the additional time, we see the interaction between the Wanima brothers before they got separated. |
 |
| Got scared that this was the finale for a minute. great episode |
Mystletaynn said: Yeah, I know that wouldn't work if they interacted with other, but take into account that they have already used real life examples before. That's what I was referring to, as the reader/watcher could then look them up and go over they story for themselves (if this makes any sense).rasterman7 said: Huh, so the whole Building 5 concept was a ruse, I was kinda expecting that since otherwise the show would have gone for much longer.

| This episode was fantastic. The animation was crisp. The set up for the second selection made it feel like this was a mid-season finale. Really looking forward to next week’s episode. |
"To Infinity and Beyond."  |
| The reveal actually fixed a minor nitpick that I thought I was going to have with the show, and that would be its power-scaling. We have players in "building 5" who are already insane, so that really made me wonder how strong those in "building 1" were. It seemed as though as if you could choose ANYONE from that group and they'd already be fit to be Japan's top striker. I for one am thankful that that is not the case, and instead everyone is on the same level (more or less, lol), and will be growing and improving alongside each other. |
  NYANPASU  whiskey tango foxtrot |
| Most hype ive ever gotten watching anime |
 |
poor raichi cant believe the skipped the wanima farewell. but it is good we see rin first time. second selection starto!! |
 Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate. I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was bound to lead me to a slow death. |
| Ok the first half has ended and I gotta say it was so good. Looking forward to see how each of them will do alone |
| Awesome; i can't wait to see how this ends up. this show is so good but i can't really place how or why and i don't even like soccer. i had a feeling that it was all a lie since it would be insane to manage that many tiers, now it's all on them individually to advance. how will that shake up the teams and their dynamics? |

AMXX_3 said: As a manga reader, the reveal of the GOAT Brother, Rin Itoshi had me jumping from my seat. yeah me neither 😻😻 |
| I'm BlkAngle; A real weeb |
| Hype is UNREAL. Well, this episode at least explains how they've got so many talented players and they all somehow belong to the bottom (V-Z). |
| another great episode man this anime never disappoints, isagi's goal was so freaking epic and now they finally starting the 2nd selection i excite |
 |
Akeres7 said: I have a question please some one give me a answer according to Ego only 25 players survived in end of first selection we already see that losing team player going to the exit but at last we see all the team players in a room so it means all 55 players survived? Where is Itoshi Rin all this time ? For which team Itoshi Rin play ? No, there are 25 surviving players from each building and 30 each sent home, for 125 total making it to the second selection. All 5 buildings were all labeled as "the 5th", but they are all still separate each with their own batch of 55 players. Itoshi Rin is from Team V in one of the other buildings. |
