| Nice to meet you, Seishirou Nagi! |
| Japan's defense is going to be a huge obstacle for the Blue Lock team. Isagi played a crucial role in every attack, seamlessly adapting to each teammate. I hope he gets his moment of improvisation and individual glory as well. But who better to improvise than the control genius, Nagi Seishirou, scoring an incredible goal to lift the team's spirits. The anime may have issues with the overall quality of its animation, but during those crucial moments, it really steps up! |

| all the budget went to Nagi goal shot |
| Although the animation is still mediocre, I loved the direction for Nagi's great goal, it felt epic! Keep cooking Wallpaper Lock! |
Reply to deg
well at least there is some movement on the super shot of nagi lol but the rest of the episode are slideshows again
the self awareness to the slideshow animation is funny "youre not moving, blue lock"

| @deg Lmao aiku spitting fax! |
"Nice to meet you, Japan. I am... Nagi Seishiro." |
| This ep is truly great |
 |
| I knew the U-20 squad was going to score the first goal with Itoshi Sae leading the charge, but thankfully Blue Lock responded with a goal of their own thanks to Nagi. All Blue Lock has to do is keep feeding Itoshi Rin the ball and let him lead like his brother. |

| Whatta goal, nagicchi!!! |
| This episode felt like a match where the goalie forgot which side of the net to defend. Let’s not sugarcoat it; the production level stumbled so much, I half-expected Ego to bench the animators. Static shots? Check. Recycled sequences? Double check. It’s almost impressive how consistent the inconsistency was. Honestly, I've even read some manga with more movement than this animation. At times, it felt like the real challenge wasn’t on the field but in the editing room. That aside, I really gotta give credit where credit's due. Studio 8bit's animation, often struggling with the basics, doesn’t win any medals for fluidity. Yet, just when it seemed like the game was stuck in first gear, the studio knew exactly when to step on the gas. Just when we least expected it, from the darkest depths of this tangle of mediocrity, a star emerged to light up the field. It’s like a team playing poorly for 90 minutes, only to score a worldie in extra time. No spoiler intended. Nagi's goal wasn’t just an acrobatic display; it was pure action in motion! A moment that transcended technical shortcomings to imprint itself on every viewer’s mind, silencing even the harshest of critics. The stadium roared, yet the world seemed to hold its breath, frozen in awe of this gravity-defying brilliance. His quip, “Did I mess up introducing myself?” wasn’t just charming; it was the perfect punctuation to a moment that redefined the game, alongside with a declaration of arrival engraved in a short but impactful moment that screamed to the world, "I'm here". In the end, while the animation struggles threaten to dull its edges, Blue Lock thrives on its gripping storytelling and dopamine-inducing hype, proving that greatness doesn’t rely on pristine animation alone. The series doesn’t need perfection, it turns flaws into fuel, pushing its narrative into overdrive. It’s moments like these that remind you why you fell in love with this series in the first place. If you’re thinking of calling it quits, let this episode be your reason to stay. The journey might be far from perfect, but it’s undeniably worth it.

| Ok, most of the episodes were boring, which made the hopeless animation stand out more for me, but the last action made up for it all. 3/5 |
| AHHHH NAGIIIIII!!! gotta be best moment of the season. my lord. goosebumps especially after watching the Nagi spinoff movie I think Sae is lazy on defence, which is something Blue Lock can exploit. on that last play I was waiting for him to jump in which never happened sick episode, 10/10. animation has improved a bit. hopefully it keeps doing big moments like Nagi's goal well |

NAGI SEISHIRO!!!! AHHHHH!!!
We struggled so hard during the match and Sae was doing what he's known best for, Scoring. But, that one moment from Nagi made this entire episode so fucking hype. AHHHHHH. It was so good.
That silence was so fucking sweet to my ears.

| @Pre_Yum amen. my reaction exactly XD |
|
| Wall at the least they did justice to Nagi and his absolutely phenomenal goal, because everything else is power point level of animation... |
 |
| NAGI!!! YES! Yeah they at least did this part justice, but here I am wondering why they didn't get the team that animated Oblivion Battery to do this, it would have looked even more epic. |
 |
| one of the worst episode's I have ever seen animation wise |
| nothing new to say about the visuals. everyone was cooking, especially sae and nagi, considering they scored. nagi at the end was pure aura. |
 |
| the animation is consistently tragic nagi's goal was delightful I wish they would have done this series justice, it deserved it insulting |
bro the animation is kinda letting me down but the big moments still hit at least since the MANGA IS INSANE. The hype from Nagi's goal gave me goosebumps even as a Manga reader! SO NUTS. Hopefully, the animation is nuts in the 2nd half! |
 |
| This shit is so ass The soundrack leading to Sae's goal is dogshit Sae's goal had no impact a all. everything is slideshow excep Nagi's goal. I also I hate that they wasted additional time on NagiReo shit. |
Cross  AngeHey guys check my profile for current airing season anime recommendation (guaranteed best taste) |
| Lol Rin tried to copy his brother's move and failed |
 |
| It's really intense to watch this and they scored a goal! |

on | Best episode so far and the Nagi goal and celebration nulled out all the other problems so far for me. |
 |
| I'm honestly surprised, This episode blew me away. I thought they would disappoint me but if I'm being very honest, They executed this well. Nagi's goal felt really breathtaking, And the characters are moving now although the stills are still there but I'll gladly take what I can. I have hope for the rest of the match now! |
 |
| i’ve rewatched nagi’s goal like 10 times. it’s so sick |
|
| Yeah it was okay, i can deal with that. Case done. |
