thebbvir said: damn isagi weak as hell Isagi obviously will grow. But yea, it been a bit frustrating to see him so frustrated |
| can't wait to see how isagi evolves. man now need only a weapon that allows him to score individually. his team play is great. with this new weapon bro will become too OP. also i didn't know naruhaya could do anything. seemd like such a weak mob character. |
 The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama. Feeling half happy, half sad. Kawaii waifus and precious best girls <3333 |
| I like Naruhaya. I've always liked him but I liked him even more in this episode. Isagi should learn a thing or two from him. But sadly, if Isagi and Nagi win, I will have to say goodbye to him. Hopefully Isagi will evolve and show us some fine plays next episode. Let him and Nagi win so they can get Barou and move on to the next fight! Anyway my boi Bachira is getting along with the Top 3. I'm happy for him but I kinda feel betrayed lol. But I'm happy to see him naked and laughing. TvT |
 HuaLian <3 |
isagi gets owned in an abusive relationship with nagi the music is good |
 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. |
| Poor Isagi getting told that he's useless without a team. As long as he looks at all those who are stronger than he is and uses the gap in skill as motivation to get better, instead of complaining. |
  NYANPASU  whiskey tango foxtrot |
| omg! so intense!!! Naruhaya is good at demoralizing Isagi! damn! Isagi is really showing his weakness: not being able to score by himself? or that's just words to let somebody down? hmmmm 5/5. |
 |
| Man the 2nd cour is way better than the 1st one, we get to see more individual plays this time |
| Yeah, exactly. Isagi isn't anyone special. To the point that it's already 14th episode and I still don't feel like cheering him on as MC. He'll probably go far anyway because we mostly see the story from his eyes, so it's obvious, but makes me wonder how believable it would be, or satisfying. Like really, I don't even care what happens to Isagi next. Well, maybe that's the point, to make him grow from average joe to someone truly incredible, but why wouldn't other guys be able to do the same, especially with better starting abilities. |
  |
| We get to see more of Isagi's character and how he is struggling with feelings of inadequacy and an inability / struggle to level up and progress. One of the best points of this show continues to be the continual, never-ending push and dire need to improve, over and over and over again. No matter how much you progress, there will always be someone above you, there will always be someone that surpasses you. There will always be a 'genius' lurking around the next corner. It was interesting to see one of Isagi's teammates we have not seen much of at all yet, coming in and talking to Isagi about just how average he thinks they both are. They are not geniuses, they are indeed just the average joe. They must push beyond that if they will have any chance of pushing through this next chapter. The show still keeps me engaged, but I feel as if it is somewhat losing my intensity of interest episode by episode, though it is not by much. I enjoy the progression and the continual new fights and heights Isagi and his teammates must overcome to progress, but I feel as though the initial dopamine hit of the concept has somewhat subsided at this point. I do also hope for some more anime action scenes as there have been a lot of more still, dynamic shots as of these past episodes. Before, I had this show at an 8/10, but now I feel it more revised towards a 7.5 instead.  |
| Welp, ISagi's succumbing into his doubts and the odds don't quite look good. But we know he'll be able to take it back... somehow. Just gotta figure out the proper strategy, which I wonder what it is. |

| Barou will just ruin teamwork. |
 |
| Damn, Naruhaya talking crap to Isagi and the cliffhanger ends with Naruhaya taking a kick for a possible goal. I'm thinking we'll see Isagi evolve as he has to otherwise he's done. |
| Animation got worst. |
| new opening is actually really good |
| I thought Isagi's self esteem had strengthened, but he was truly annoying. Apparently, Nagi needs to pull him by his hair on the field. Can't believe he let Naru get in his head. Since we didn't see any of the other guys, did their teams win or have they not played I wonder. |
| The only way to evolve is under pressure. I hope the main character digests it because it's about time. |
 |
| Isagi and Nagi are surpassingly a good duo haha Bruh I remember being confused who the hell Naruhaya was Barou haha |
 |
| Match against two worthless and annoying characters. I hope it's over by next episode |
| Definitely tense even for a 2vs2, now the score is so tight hm, but they just can't lose this time |
 |
| With the loss of their most valuable passer and dribbler, Bachira, both Nagi and Isagi have to find a way to master their 1 on 1 skill sets. They face off against Barou and Naruhaya. Barou poses as an immediate threat with his charge and mid range shot. Not to mention his intimidating presence and physique. Nagi and Isagi both adapt to their game. Nagi quickly masters his 1 on 1 skills against Barou. Having to redirect the control of the ball to the back of his foot and passing backwards. Making it hard for the defender to react and turn. When we thought Nagi and Isagi the upperhand, Naruhaya unleashes his killer instinct ego against Isagi. |
 |
| Awesome ep as always. Nagi's growth got me hype fr. Isagi was depressed for most of this ep LOL Naruhaya doing well is expected after doing literally nothing in the first selection. Classic plot XD |
 |
| Isagi and Nagi sure aren't happy about their losses, that didn't look good King Barou is back, seems like he tried his best with 4 goals, but his team still lost LOL since Mc can't lose again, and we don't really care about Barou teammate... i wonder if they will challenge him or if they are scared i like how Nagi said Barou would be his servant (he mentioned it again later during the match, that's so funny lol) trying to come up with a plan, but Nagi sleepy :D tbh he has been doing too much, compared to when all he did was sleep and score a few goals here and there lmfao Nagi was used to the better food from being high rank Isagi's friend sure wanted to provoke him lol so they will play with Barou after all oh, makes sense that Barou's shots are getting better, after all he played the 100 goals thing too Nagi also learning the meaning behind what he used to do instinctively, so he can start using it in a different way whenever he wants to... just like teaching someone also helps you understand your thoughts better look how nicely Nagi beat Barou with those touches then the defender was scared but Nagi used that chance to do his sick jump trap... wow this guy lol Barou trying to score from midfield, scary, how do you stop that? that being said, things aren't looking good, even the other guy is doing better than Isagi, and that way they can't win... Isagi better level up now or... it will be too late |
favorite "new girls" from summer <3 ... click sig for older seasons and more possible picks (rip all the other choices) |
| I'm really really liking this anime and am excited to how it's gonna end. |
| Isagi, come on. you need to level up. |
 |
| Is Barou supposed to be a joke character or something? "King this", "King that" but the dude can't stop losing. |
| Nagi's goals here were really fucking elegant. Next episode, Isagi's gonna level up, again. |
 |
| Barou had lower ranking than Isagi. I don't understand how a man known for his long range shoots struggled at Blue Lock Man. Although Isagi has his direct shoots, so it may be possible after all. Isagi was desparate because of skill difference. I can understand that. Even though he saw this much skill difference before against Barou or Nagi, he had team mates to rely on. But individual skill is more important now. That being said, Blue Lock isn't about picking the player with best current skill. It is about allowing players to evolve their skills, and picking the player with the most skills at the end. Otherwise they would just pick Itoshi Rin and move on. Because the current skill difference is too obvious. So cut Isagi some slack, he is still growing. There is no point being angry at our MC. That is natural cycle of learning. Just when you think you became the best, you realize you are the worst in another bracket. Sometimes you can have the Imposter Syndrome too. |
 |
| it was nice episode |
| Isagi is a massive bitch |
 |
| I like how even someone like Naruhaya is given spotlight. I can definitely sympathise with Isagi finding himself inadequate in stats and basics compared to the monsters around him, even when he's got a decent weapon to fight with. The new OP is bad, I hope the ED won't disappoint when we get it next episode or the second cour wil be at a complete loss, since the previous ED was giving extra character to the show. |
  |
| Absolute joke of an episode... Not to mention, 14 episodes in and the protagonist doesn't do shit, 0 development from him. No idea where that 8.27 score comes from. |
| Imagine if Barou lost and Isagi picked Naruhaya instead to join his team, now that would be an unexpected and hilarious twist |
