Blue Lock 1

Product Information

So, leave the social or ethical aspect aside, or the funnier thing which is that Japan actually has 300 players with the potential to be the best striker in the world, when in reality it wouldn’t even have three. Their aspirations beyond being the “best striker” is all they want to do, so most of them have nothing that separates them from others aside from their gimmick. It can be quite exhilarating to watch sometimes, in the big moments, but the edgy dialogue and humour wasn’t all that great. Just like Bachira and the monster inside of him, there are 2 wolves inside of me, one hates this show, the other also hates this show. This is where the situation, the world, the characters, the rules and so on are explained to the audience.

The sole survivor of Blue Lock will earn the right to become the national team's striker, and those who are defeated shall be banned from joining the team forever. Some of the movement during the games was very stiff, especially during the second cour of the show, where I think the studio just rushed through production. Instead, this review will focus more so on the myriad of reasons why this show doesn’t even work in an entertaining sense. Believing that Japan has lacked an egoistic striker hungry for goals, Jinpachi initiates the Blue Lock—a prison-like facility where three hundred talented strikers from high schools all over Japan are isolated and pitted against each other. Football is the most exciting sport, probably the most exciting spectacle on the planet, and that is not subjective, there are numbers and money backing this up, there is absolutely no reason to turn into a social experiment, a battle royal, a high stakes games, a mind game fest, a SAW about football when it is already all the above in itself.

Yoichi Isagi was mere moments away from scoring a goal that would have sent his high school soccer team to the nationals, but a split-second decision to pass the ball to his teammate cost him that reality. Then Rin comes along with a similar ego complex, but is just stronger and replaces what little Nagi’s purpose was. At the end of the first season, an anime film adaptation of the Episode Nagi manga was also announced.

After choosing to pass to a teammate who missed instead of scoring on his own, he could not help but wonder if the results would have been different had he been more selfish. Been here nearly 5 yrs now and this is my 2nd black character✊🏿 It's not often I can say HE LOOKS LIKE ME FRFR" (Tweet) . The series really tries to reach a target demographic here and I for one am happy it succeeds on this front. I also think it’s laughably pathetic how this show is only situated in an air conditioned indoor football pitch as they prepare for a competitive outdoor sport.

Weapons are skills like analytical thinking, strong physical strength, fast sprinting or high jumping power. Where it’s this childish one-upping of “I read his play”, “I read his reading of my play”, “I can jump higher than you”, “I can run faster than you”. For me, it was mostly just a popcorn shounen show, that didn’t leave me with much to take away other than some hype moments. Except for this making much more sense, wouldn't it also not require to have that poor guy playing goalkeeper every game like a fucking plot puppet?

We got the “goofy” Bachira, main character Isagi, friendly straight-face Kunigami and some edgelords.The Football Association is hell-bent on creating a striker who hungers for goals and thirsts for victory, and who can be the decisive instrument in turning around a losing match…and to do so, they’ve gathered 300 of Japan’s best and brightest youth players.
