Is it just me who thinks that Blue Lock has gone on too long? Like, in the beginning, it was good but now I don't really want to continue and I have to watch on 2 times speed to retain my attention... just me?

Barou finally turned full circle, man is on fire now. Nagi and Isagi can finally rest a little xD

Man I'd love to marry a girl like Anri Teieri, she is so beautiful and hardworking. An attractive redhead with cute face, nice body and humble.

*writing this as im watching*
Can I just say how much I ADORE the intro, it's giving 90s and early 2000s vibes but make it modern.

The nitro exhilaration sounds you hear every time chigiri does *anything* lololol

My man barou, he really passed the ball, he's about to short circuit, call an ambulance!
BAROU WHAT THE FUUUUCK WHAT FUCKING SUPPORTING ROLE???
ANDDD HES BACK AND BETTER THAN EVER WITH MOVES UNREALISTIC FOR REAL FOOTBALL BUT HEY THIS IS BLUE LOCK WE USED TO IT, WELCOME BACK KING

Ah, here comes Ego the philosopher + life coach who can't clean his own damn room. Please do not listen to anything this man says.

The clifhanger is not one at all because we see both in the opening and the ed who're they gonna pick soooo. Still, bomb episode i must say

Omg dude insane episode as always!!!! This anime is INCREDIBLE haha

Isagi in badass mode is one of the coolest MCs ever fr. Then he's so nice and gentle post-game XD

Barou had a cool awakening. We knew it was coming.

I wonder who they'll choose. Probably Chigiri because they need some speed!

King Barou stopped being a nice King and become an evil King at all with his awakening. The taste of defeat impacted much to his growth but that's just for a better to such a person. Though, that's not over yet. The opposite team must also felt the same despair, and then Isagi needs to pick those person up to fill team composition against Rin in front. Cruel cliffhanger, but at least the additional time segment gives off a nice vibe with Anri-chan routine shows how she taking care Ego. How sweet....

Finally, Barou can be a good teammate. He was able to actually use his head and score through strategy while still maintaining his ego because that is what they need to survive Blue Lock. Anyway, I don't know who they are going to pick but I think it should be Chigiri. Reo is pretty useless in my opinion and I like to see him suffer.

Fire episode.

From a totally defeated Barou to an absolute crazy awakening shortly after he realized that he never sees himself in a supportive role, which ultimately was the decisive factor for winning this game. It might be a different chemical reaction as Isagi initially had hoped for, but it certainly was awesome in it's own way. So far Barou had never experienced anything similar circumstances, since he was the "king" who dominates the field with his goals. But due to Isagi and Nagi it feels like he got a tiny bit more open, which will be important for upcoming matches.

Ego made such an important point. "What matters is what you take from defeat". Acknowledge your own mistakes and don't make excuses so that you appear in a better light. This doesn't only apply in sports. It's in general a pretty important lesson for life.

Of course we get a cliffhanger right before Isagi's team is about to choose either Reo, Kunigami or Chigiri. If I had to guess, I would go for Chigiri. His speed would give a huge boost to Isagi's team.

That was such a great episode, I loved the goal that Barou scored when he foresaw the future that he would have if he passed to Isagi or Nagi! He completely bamboozled us when he was about to pass!

barou passing was something i didn't think i would ever see but it happened. but man once again proved that he's still the king. that lightning cutting whatever looked ridiculous though, i was half-laughing watching it but still pretty nice that barou awakended and scored by himself, claiming his name king again.

i wonder who they will pick though. most likely chigiri but let's see. i'm expecting 1 to 1.5 build up episodes after all this.

The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama.
Feeling half happy, half sad.

Barou: BLACK FLASH!!!! - oh oops wrong anime

I wanted Barou to go absolutely ape-sh*t from the start, but this build up into a freaking demon from hell of a goal was definitely the right play. Plus Isagi turning the tables on him and calling him donkey was amusing to see at the very least. After Barou's game-deciding goal, the highlight of the episode is easily Isagi basically commanding Barou to pass him the ball; to which Barou obeys

And we're left with a cliffhanger in that we don't yet know who they will choose. I honestly have no idea who it's going to be.

Ugh the animation, especially during Barou's dribbling, was so bad. Can't even properly see what was happening. 

And what was the point of all this shit if Barou wasn't even going to pass? He did not change at all.

ngl I enjoyed this episode but that chop dribble shit with the red and black stuff wasn't it fam. I didn't even see the actual chop dribble. Overall it was distracting and not necessary. I wish it was animated like how Bachira's dribbling is animated, where you can clearly make out what is happening.

Even in the manga, I didn't like this Barou scene because it felt too abrupt. It makes last week's episode and his passing to Isagi feel unnecessary for Barou's character because he still goes back to his default way of playing. I have no problem with Barou scoring but the fact that he blitzed through everyone and ignored his teammates for the nth time just doesn't sit right with me. I guess his act of "devouring" Isagi instead of going blindly for goal is supposed to be his eureka moment? Idk.

I enjoyed the scene where Barou was about to pass, but the "monster" inside him was stopping him from executing that action. Some nerds are not going to see it as a case of Barou's inner conflict and how his brain doesn't want to register the thought of passing to anyone in a goalscoring opportunity.

I'm interested to see what happens with Barou in his next match because quite frankly, I don't remember.

I went after this episode to see Ronaldo chops and man omg.

I just love Isagi's You need to move so I can score. That man's duality is something. Also Barou stepping up. We love to see the trio: Nagi, the Prodigy, Barou the King& Isagi, the Genius of Adaptability

Thee cg are horrible blue lock is a great concept and manga is fking awesome but this studio completely ruined it. Production IG would have done a much better job. Ao ashi's movements when dribbling and stuff were 100 times better than this.

Barou ate the field up as a true king should do

looking forward to what he can do in a bigger stage in future eps

Good for Barou, I guess.

I hoped they'd make their pick this episode, but damn cliffhanger.

After ed part with Anri was fun, Ego-san ruined everything, I'd be angry too.

I'm loving the mind game elements being slowly incorporated into the matches as Isagi grows, so exciting!! I really like how they handled Barou's development as well – he learned a lesson but stayed consistent to his character. It would've felt really forced if he just suddenly became content with playing along to the rhythm of his teammates.

Another exciting episode that ended too fast. I thought that they were going to show who was selected but it just ended on another cliffhanger. My first guess for the selection would be Chigiri for his speed followed by Reo as an all around good player. Kunigami is great too but I think he's too similar to Barou.

Side note, Barou has changed a little. While he still calls himself king he did start calling Isagi by his name as pointed out by Nagi.

I loved Barou's evolution in this match, how he found out he had lost the battle against Isagi and gave him a pass but minutes later when he could give him another step he decided to continue playing his style recognizing that he is not the only king of the field, very good evolution of Barou in this match

If you notice Isagi in the match he was very aggressive and after finishing the match he was very shy, what curious personality changes

I wonder who they chose from the opposing team, if it were them I would choose Reo

Very good chapter I love it
