Wow, They got a British VA to voice Adam Blake, I wish they did something similar with the other guys. Kylian Mbappe didn't say a word tho. I'm wondering how much will be adapted for the final episode. I don't think THAT Kunigami moment will be adapted in this season after all.

Definitely thought Isagi's team would be able to get revenge on the Top 3, but luck just wasn't on their side. The ball fell perfectly into Rin's lap, and his team took the dub. Though lucky for Isagi, Rin wanted him the most so he got picked and got to advance anyway. Perks of being the MC and not a supporting character, which Nagi seemed to be self-aware about lol. Loved this match and I'm glad it subverted my expectation that the MC's team would win the second time around.

Right off the heels of the 2nd stage, our 5 winners are going up against a tough group of international players. Pretty interesting that most of Isagi's team doesn't speak English, are they not being taught that in school? Lmao. The bad English was expected though, since literally all of these players are from countries where English isn't the primary language. I was impressed with the English player's VA though, I expected to see a Western name in the credits but when I double-checked, his name was in kanji so I guess they managed to find one of the better and more fluent sounding English-speaking Japanese VAs. Dude even threw in a decent British accent lol. 

Isagi's team manages to come out and quickly score the first goal, but these are world-renowned players and there's only 1 episode left, so I'm assuming they're going to get thrashed in the finale lol.

I don't even know what you're on about. "The bird shit example" was used to signify that you're not just unlucky when bird droppings fall on you. Ego says the shit could've been avoided if you noticed factors such as looking up to see if birds are right above you or looking down to see if bird droppings are below you... In the same way, you could drive in a different lane to avoid a bird shitting on your car, it's not just due to your luck or lack thereof. That links to the final goal because Rin(whether knowingly or unknowingly) put himself in an ideal position to get the rebound by following Isagi. Ego says it wasn't due to luck and Rin dismisses that statement. Ego believes that Rin could've stayed at the edge of the box instead of following Isagi and that would've resulted in him getting tackled. It makes a lot of sense to me.

Wow who would've thought that the ball would land exactly on Rin's feet when Isagi stopped it, and that is how you lose, but ofcourse they chose Isagi and not the other 3 because that's how the plot is, I suppose. Ego explaining to them what "Luck" means, I mean imo luck is just luck, you either have luck or you don't.

They're gonna play against the best 5, but it seems this one is gonna be intense as well like the previous one, but we'll see, Rin has already scored 1 goal but the tables can be flipped easily. 

With 1 episode remaining, I wonder if this will go onwards into Season 2, I find it kinda weird to end the anime in its whole in an last match.

Doesn't make any sense because in real life birds don't have a fucking bathroom, they shit everywhere and most of the time while fliying so there is no real chance you can avoid it.
A better example would be something like "if you never leave yout bedroom a bird will never shit on you", which is true 99.99% of the time.

Btw, All this shit talk made me remind this video.

I have to say I actually wasn't expecting Isagi to be chosen, but I'm glad he was. Having to follow our main character go back and forth in this selection continuously would probably hinder the pacing. Having him move forward at this point is definitely the most interesting way to go, to be with Rin and Bachira who he always wanted to steal to be on his team. Call it luck if you will, but I think it's fair to say that Isagi is fully deserving of getting chosen.

Speaking of luck... I only half-understood Ego's explanation on it. From what I got, luck isn't entirely about just flipping a coin and waiting to see what happens. The future is always uncertain, but you can always help RAISE your chances of getting favoured by lady luck. Perhaps Rin also didn't know that the ball would fall to him in that position, but that position gave him the best chance of luck, I guess?? I'm just going to go with Rin on this one and say that half of what Ego was saying was total bullsh*t

And about the end with all the beautiful engrish.... wait what?? They gave they english-speaking player from england a voice actor with an actual english accent??!! Rin doesn't give af about any of them though. All he cares about is beating his older brother. YOUR LITTLE JAPANESE SIGHT-SEEING TRIP IS GOING TO TURN TRAUMATIC

One episode left, and idk how I feel about ending the season whilst in the middle of a game. I guess that'll keep us anime-onlies excited for season 2, or perhaps test our patience and make us read the manga.

In the end it didn't matter that Isagi blocked Bachira's shot because Rin was at the right place at the right time to score the game winning goal. Isagi ended up being the one chosen despite loosing the match so he was forced to leave Barou, Chigiri, and Nagi behind in the third stage while Rin's team advance to the third selection Ego's speech about luck hammers home that "Fortune favors the bold". Turns out that the third selection will be a training camp against the top strikers in the world in a 5x5 match. Rin's team has already scored one goal against the World 5, so we probably won't see the entire match with one episode left.

About the voice actors for the International team, I have to give credit to the Japanese VAs for trying to say their lines in English. Yes, it sounded like Engrish, but at least they were trying to make this International match up realistic as possible. The English lines from Rin's Japanese VA was pretty decent and the only authentic English speaker VA was for the British guy(another Japanese VA?). The rest of the Japanese VA's could use a little more work on their English enunciation though.

What a damn stupid and abrupt way to end that game, and cut just as badly too before even the OP that- isn't even present this time around. With both Ego and Rin overdoing their annoying prick act after that.

There's a point to be made about how everyone being overdone musclebrained idiots isn't necessarily a winning formula, especially for this sport - or even appealing on a personal level, at that. And another about how maybe spending time to learn English instead, if one wants to play on an international level, might actually be worth the time and energy investment. The meta in those last scenes was almost too overwhelming, and Rin casually speaking English with the others being all but dumbstruck really gets the point across. Buuuut I'm sure making those points would be stepping on some toes...

thought this episode was good but a bit filler ESC at times we got a sad but understanding conclusion to the 2nd selection I though this because I really wanted to see isagi go through with the team he built during the 2nd selection to go through together but isagi needed to play alongside Rin to get better and to reunite with bachira.
then ego started rambling about luck which I though was a bit of a time filler and then we got isagi showing how keen he was to learn from Rin and a preview to the third selection.

personally I think that this episode was quite weak compared to the last two or three which is understandable considering that they have to set the scene for the season finale

MBAPPÉ!!! More seriously, for the references of the 5 players:
• For Spain, I would say either Fernando Torres but he never played for Real Madrid...
• For England, no doubt Harry Kane
• For Argentina, I would say Julián Álvarez
• And for Brazil, it's really hard to find him. By default, Ronaldinho but he is already there for Bachira.

I am conflicted on whether or not the match had a good ending or not. It is obvious Isagi was picked because of the plot armor bur he really showed himself off in this match. I'm excited for the match with those international players but I don't know how they can stand a chance against the best of the best.

Rip Isagi missed one piece. The piece of luck change everything even on those last second in an instant. But not necessarily its all about the luck itself because surely Rin working hard to reach in the position where the possibility to grab the piece of luck higher when everyone else doin nothing. Right man at the right place on the right time. Purely coincidence xd.

But anyway, not expecting they already hold the third selection by having a match with those world class players. Surely at that point, its not about win or lose anymore, i guess, experience shall be important too for them development. Ego also doing a godly speech before and i wish him to instruct the boys in the face, not from behind the monitor. But yeah keep it for later, perhaps...

made it past the 2nd selection, isagi with the L but still moved on thanks to rin giving him a front-row seat. i feel for the others tho, not my boy nagi.
3rd selection is here and we got some engrish which i didn't consider while reading the manga so it caught me off-guard T-T rin's engrish is better than dada silva's tho.

A better example would be something like "if you never leave yout bedroom a bird will never shit on you", which is true 99.99% of the time.



Birds do have regular roosting spots and you can identify those spots by the massive amounts of dried bird poop around the area. Anyway, Ego isn't saying that you can avoid bird poop 100% of the time if you are ultra-observant, but that an observant person will be pooped on less. or at least an observant person can avoid being pooped on when it is avoidable. And that a person can't blame bad luck when he walked right into a roosting spot. It's not the best analogy but the main take-away point is that in soccer you need to make your own luck. Sometimes a ball can deflect off you into goal without you meaning to do anything, but an actual good striker regularly looks for goal-scoring chances to fall his way. I think the word to describe these players is 'opportunistic'. It's not luck that players like Haaland always seem to be at the right place at the right time. Likewise, crappy defenders tend to score more own goals. It's not like elite defenders will never score own goals. It's just that with their elevated sense of positioning and reading of the game, such 'bad luck' seldom fall to them.

Sad to see that luck played such an important role, even tho Isagi was able to surpass Rin in the end. But honestly in a situation like this it's not "only" luck. Rin simply anticipated where the ball could eventually land after getting blocked so he would have the biggest chance of scoring a goal. One of the greatest examples for such anticipation was Filippo Inzaghi. This guy always had a good nose for goals and therefor he was one of the greatest strikers.

With his Isagi's evolution in this game it was pretty clear Rin would choose him. I felt bad that he had to leave Chigiri, Barou and not to forget his bro Nagi. I hope we'll see all of them again, but for now Isagi has to concentrate on himself. Ego's little speech definitely gave more information and hints on what Isagi is still missing.

What's extremely exciting now is the fact that Rin's team will be playing 5 world class players. Not sure why people are complaining about the English. Not counting England in they represented France, Argentina, Brazil and Spain. So either way their English wouldn't sound perfect.

I'm hyped to see more of this match. Isagi's team might've scored the first goal, but I feel like this was only the world class players testing the waters. The real test will begin now. Crazy to think we're already reaching the last episode, but nonetheless I'm looking forward to next week.

Good ep. I really didn't expect Isagi to lose! Great plot point imo and it's satisfying that Rin chose him still, acknowledging that in that moment he briefly lost to Isagi.

Isagi's scream when he lost was weird af though haha. Little gremlin or something

This match vs the world five should be good. Although I really can't stand the terrible English voice acting. It is really bad and cringe haha. I'd rather they do the thing where they speak in Japanese for us but they're supposedly speaking in English in the anime. You know it's bad when you have to read the subtitles to know what the "English" guy is saying lol

Question - How is this third selection meant to work if they're playing the world five? Does every team that passes the second selection play the world five? Maybe you get graded on how many goals you score against them, dunno

Another question - Is this world five all U18?

tbh i think there's nothing wrong with the english voice acting here. Unlike other animes, it makes sense why they have accents. The guys with accents are from Spain, Argentina, and Brazil, none of which have English as the national language so you can't expect them to speak perfect English. The England guy can speak English perfectly which fits his nationality, so nothing wrong with that either.

Oof that game ended as soon as the episode started. I don't mind, this episode was interesting. with Ego's breakdown of how luck works in soccer (at least in blue lock). His logic is always well thought out even if they don't apply in real world soccer.

Anyways wow, we're already at the end of this 1st season. This time next week, we'll be here discussing blue lock for the last time until they make season 2 or if some of us immediately picks up the manga.

Bro not me crying because Isagi was picked and Rin had to be the one with the last goal. Rin is on a whole different level dude. That was insane. Who were the 5 plays supposed to represent irl? Also the English had me dying, especially Rin's. Also the link up between Rin and Bachira was impressive, a little sad that they looked past Isagi. I feel like the glam guy and the probably autistic guy aren't contributing to the show other than being glam af and cringe. I appreciate Ego reviewing how "luck" worked, even though it genuinely was luck. Hopefully, the original gang can get back together. I just hope Reo and Nagi don't end up on the same team again.

This match vs the world five should be good. Although I really can't stand the terrible English voice acting. It is really bad and cringe haha. I'd rather they do the thing where they speak in Japanese for us but they're supposedly speaking in English in the anime. You know it's bad when you have to read the subtitles to know what the "English" guy is saying lol

That was the worst Engrish I've heard in a long time. Is it that difficult to get some fluent English speaking VAs? Talk about a break in immersion.


tbh i think there's nothing wrong with the english voice acting here. Unlike other animes, it makes sense why they have accents. The guys with accents are from Spain, Argentina, and Brazil, none of which have English as the national language so you can't expect them to speak perfect English. The England guy can speak English perfectly which fits his nationality, so nothing wrong with that either.
Yeah, but they don't sound like they're enunciating English poorly simply because they're from Spain, Argentina, etc, it just sounds like a Japanese man struggling to pronounce English words.

I like Engrish when it's used comedically, purposefully or not, however here it was just executed poorly.
