I doubt any of that shit Ego did is even legal. I mean, it would probably have been in their agreement but who knows.

Either way, much better than previous episodes and of course, it does not have any "sport" in it.

I have to keep remembering that this is still a soccer anime. Shidou being restrained in an isolated place like he's Aizen or something xD


U-20 Japan full of NPC's until the defenders pulled up.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

this ep was fking sick hahah. especially the first half. 10/10

surprised it's not zantetsu and chigiri on the wings but ah well

wouldn't mind seeing barou and bachira's goals at some point

shidou joining the u20 is an awesome subplot

loved this. hope we stay at this quality!!

this episode was pure hype. it got me so hyped for the u-20 match and I can only just pray that we're getting a good adaptation 😭 I saw some of the teasers where they announce both team's members and honestly the animation didn't look like anything spectacular but I can't judge from that. This hype-up episode looked pretty good tho and the part with Shidou and Sae was so cool. also additional time was very OSHA

anime only here. not seeing reo or barou on the final team made me upset but i understand why, it’s pure emotional reasons why it made me sad. i genuinely liked barou and his ocd. and as for reo , he truly is behind nagi which was sad too see. overall was a lot better than the last couple episodes but that might just be because there was no actual soccer games.

however i did see the trailers they released for both teams and seeing the clips they showed after each person scared me a little. the animation almost looks worse. however im just gonna enjoy the show and not try and focus on the animation too much, even tho its extremely obvious its bad

The team that will face the U-20s is already formed, with Isagi chosen as expected, given that he is the protagonist. While I was surprised by some of the positions, such as Gagamaru as goalkeeper, the absence of Barou and Reo is even more surprising. They must be the substitutes; I can't imagine Ego going into the match against the U-20s with only 11 players.

As for the U-20s, it seems that Sae and Shidou won't be the only challenges for Blue Lock. Oliver seems like a powerful player, and his ability to easily counter Shidou's physicality suggests that he will be a formidable defender. It's getting interesting; I hope the animation quality goes up a bit for the next match.

GLAM OSHAAA!

Lol they treated Shidou like a big criminal after one hittin to Rin face. Dude really is such a wild dog and Sae seems like those kind of people. So not surprise if dude gonna be the opponent after all the scene he shows at the beginning.

Blue lock starting eleven choosing scene always be the awaiting moment. But somehow those part isn't really exciting. Tho Ego choices over the defensive line kinda intriguing, by putting Niko into the back. Same approach like Ashito from Ao Ashi? But ofc its really into those point since the center of attention here goes to Yoichi and for sure Rin as well as a true forward in front. So yeah, interesting how they plays out the game with those starting eleven, since i have no clue with the source material, at this moment.

Aside the shameless animation, i think i can still find an entertainment toward this arc. Let's hope its stay fine tune....

Think this episode did a pretty good job of building hype for the big match, though it's partly cause not a lot of animation is needed. Shidou throwing hands with others never fails to crack me up...the way he was fully tied up and muzzled was so damn extra lmao. Definitely looking forward to seeing more of Aiku, as well as Shidou and Sae's interactions.

...And random side note - I almost really thought that Rin was really gonna call the water in the water bottle "half-baked" lmao.

Additional time was great, as always. Niko looking so preciously happy was something I never knew I needed.

Team looks sick. Completely agree with Ego's selections other than maybe Bachira in that position but it's fine. Shidou has been transferred to the U20 team and he's already causing waves lol. Didn't expect Sendou to have orange hair.

I really hope 8-bit gave it their best for this singular match bcz this arc deserves at least that.

The additional time was hilarious as ever... That backline is quite OSHA xD
@samsince04 I always love the additional time

This episode is ramping up the hype. I've never been interested in any kind of sports draft or team set-up irl but I was *sat* for this one

Omg they really had bro locked up like in an asylum. That would get them a human rights warning in my country ... although given how blue lock is run in general they'd already be in hot water even without that

THE PST CREDITS IS THE BEST ONE SO FAR. OMFG THE POSE GLAM GUY MADE AT THE OSHAAAAA I FELL OFF MY FREAKING CHAIR. Nikki is growing on me. It's insane how they can make you like a character with only a minute or two of random scenes at the end of an episode

So Shidou got picked to play with Itoshi Sae. Seems like Sae really wants to bury Rin's football career by shitting on him with his rival.

We're probably 3/4 episodes away from the match, but I just can't wait to see how the Blue Lock team hold up against the U-20s. Hope we also get to see U-20's training soon, especially after that striker guy picked on Sae.

The selection for the U-20 has been set and neither Barou nor Reo made it but Isagi certainly did as well as Gagamaru as a monkey goalkeeper and the rest of expected players. Shidou was left aside for bad conduct because you can't play a match with someone that can literally kick another player in the face on purpose and expect a good outcome unless the referee is on your side. Coincidentally though he was picked up by Sae which makes sense considering his play style. Something I did not understand though is why Ego didn't reveal who the substitution are gonna be. I mean, he knows that he has to put people in the bench in case someone gets injured or there needs to be a tactical change, right?

In any case, for the first time in the series he gave a somewhat cohesive speech about the flow state, something that is actually accurate. While I don't agree that is the defining factor behind good plays and scoring, you could apply that to the way one can perform in certain activities. In fact, many video games revolve around that state for that matter manifested in examples like Celeste or The Messenger once you get good enough. Does this mean that no more bullshit analogies will come in the future? Absolutely not.

Side note: maybe the fact that this episode was better received came also from the fact that no matches were being played for people to complain about the animation.

good ep and another funny extra time.

weird they didn't mention that the rest of them would be their subs for the game? the only mention of subs was of the other striker that they no longer have in their squad lol.

At the end of the Nagi movie seemed like Reo was a sub, idunno tho, would be good to feel like the other characters we've come to know are still included the squad somehow...even if they're unlikely to actually play. If we do see a sub or two in this game I feel like it's likely be Reo and/or Barou
@JVskunkape well they all are strikers so depending on the way the u20 plays they will have to stay flexible so it doesn't really make sense to have subs. Shidou also was like a joker if nothing works, doesn't mean he would definitely be sub

@Girlhinata13 hmmm, I guess since they didn't cover it we don't really know how it will work, I wonder if they will stick with that 11 all game tho or if we will see others also play.

I feel like Leo and Barou are too popular and had too much focus leading up til now to then not play in this huge match. I think if there are any subs or if they can freely change their line up as they want or something, I'm sure they will play in some capacity.

Ok guys wtf why was this episode so well animated compared to the episodes that had a soccer match in it?😭😭😭

That Shidou and Sae scene was so goddamn cold omg the coloring and the art was just amazing and everytime Ego’s face was shown up close that shit was detailed asf as well like the animators did a fantastic job with this episode it finally felt like a normal regular blue lock episode that you’d see from season 1🤩🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Shidou such a menace tho bro STAYS fighting anybody + a fun little fact but did yall know that Shidou and Isagi have barely interacted it’s crazy to me that they’ve never had a full on conversation with one another💀

Ego’s speech got me so fucking hyped man the U-20 match is gonna be so generational man nothing is more hype than this sports arc right here man like yall don’t know how hype this shit was when it was coming out weekly😭😩😭🙌🏽🔥🔥🔥🔥

With the tryouts over and complete, Ego has time to put together his U-20s team, anticipation mounts.

With Sae Itoshi wanting to partner with someone, and the expectations for the Starting 11 on who Ego will choose. Rin is a natural goal-scoring forward, so he's the vital player in the list. The goalkeeping to Gagamaru; center backs to Jyubei and Ikki; full backs to Chigiri and Bachira; back midfielder Karasu; offensives Otoya and Yukimiya; off midfielders Nagi and Isagi, the results are as such. And Shidou getting ousted because of his egoist but violent personality, he could've at least been the substitute, but because of Sae's interference, he gets to live another day thanks to him seeing his stint to join his team instead.

Sae is quite the egoist to show his face towards his fellow U-20s team, and while Shidou goes berserk, it's Oliver Aiku who delivers his exception to promise giving him a run for their time. And there's not quite the moment where the defiant brothers go head-to-head against each other, with Rin wanting to prove that he's not the failure he is. With flow, this is tantamount to Ego's egoistic plan to find the best striker, and Blue Lock is the culmination of all the efforts for those who survive and progress onto the grand stage.

The Blue Lock XI vs. Japan's U-20s, time to prove it all.
