I did not see Shidou at all this episode. It was like he wasn’t making part of the team, considering the fact that he holds the 2nd place after Rin.

What an insane goal from Sae Itoshi! I knew he will score a goal at least sooner or later. But Rin did not give up and took his revenge. The triangle method worked for Rin, Isagi and Bachira and I was impressed by Nagi’s goal. Nagi has a huge potential, I knew from the beginning that he’ll be a legend.

It was an astonishing episode; the hype, execution, and Sae's goal, along with Nagi's final goal, were all perfect.

I have no idea what's the commentator job in this game if Isagi is describing everything thats happening on the field. like literally heard the commentator talk two or three times in this episode.
Nagi's goal made my jaw dropped tho, the only good scene in this episode

It's funny that the characters don't run but slide the whole time, like this is Ice Hockey not Football. It's even funnier that whenever they call for defence, my mind is like, how will they move, they don't have Enough Frames to reach the Ball, yet somehow they manage to cover a huge distance in a single frame. XD

You know the animation is bad when the cgi'd feet is the only movement in the entire ep. My focus is lost by the bad animation a lot of times (the Nagi goal was clean tho). The best way to describe this season is "it's not unwatchable" and I love how they get creative to hide the bad animation. I suggest to read the manga of u-20 first and see the difference I feel like you all will enjoy the arc more that way.

Talk about sucking all the intensity out of the match as the animation quality has really tanked since the first season. This was supposed to be the highlight of the show up until this point, but with all the stills and stuff, it absolutely bottomed out with this episode. I have to wonder what budget was set aside for this season as there was quite a lot of corner-cutting. Everything is moving in super slo-mo going to show that they tried to produce this as cheaply as they can get away with.

still not looking great at times, which is a real shame, as the story and match are so exciting, been said to death but I really feel like Blue Lock deserved better.

it feels weird to say as this season has got much flak, but in-spite of that, I'm enjoying it so much I wish they would've done another 24 ep season and given us some anime-only filler, there's a lot we didn't see from the first stage and interested to see what happened to Kunigami (dunno if that's covered in the manga or later in the story at all) because wouldn't he along with the others who were eliminated at least be interested/curious enough to be watching this match? Would've been cool to follow some of them up to the day of the match with them watching it.

No way those defenders are below 20 xD

Insane goal by Nagi. Bro really went and contorted his body mid-air like a Junji Ito's Uzumaki character to achieve it.

And not that I like Sae but gotta side with him on this one. BL team has an improvised goalkeeper and Sendou couldn't score against him. That's lame, man.

I know I'm not the only one that cheered when Nagi scored. I think I woke up my neighbor squealing, "Naaaaagggggiiiiiiiii!!!"

I wonder if the U-20 Capt. will change things up now that he realizes they all just think about scoring.

overall it's pretty intriguing but not the slideshow looking animation. Hopefully i get to see some up right improvment of the animation in the future. Goodluck out there

Despite its time constraints and possible budget issues, I can still see the amount of effort they put into this show. There are those moments that you see greatness seeping through.

This episode is one of those moments.

Very nice episode, felt like 10 minutes. Animation is of course the way it is and it's disappointing, but the match is interesting and fun to watch nonetheless. Well done, Nagi!

I also enjoyed the mini episode with Reo at the end, so cute how he cares about Nagi

I know everyone hates the new season of Blue Lock nowadays, seeing its low score, but it's still U-20 arc, the best arc in Blue Lock. I think it's gonna be great

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.
@GangsterCat I honestly think the issue with that soundtrack was the producer not realizing that he was making it for a slideshow where people would talk over it the entire time. I believe it would have been been better if the animation was more fluent to match the tempo of the music.

People seem way to stuck up about the animation. Still animation? Sorry, I haven't been paying attention because the top tier voice acting, sound effects and visual effects do a superb job lifting the whole feel. I'm absolutely loving this stuff. The director and/or animators clearly know their timing as well, it's insane how much they're able to do with so little. The animation could be a lot more smooth, for sure, but the show is just quite simply so good with the rest of its qualities that I don't even think about it until I enter a forum and see people complaining.

Nagi's shot was spectacular. I spoke out loud to my screen, "Bro, wh-at the f*ck?"
