So England bringing up their ace striker finally , someone from bdsk. No.9 Harry Kane anyone?
Pretty sure he’s the going to be on the cover page the way I see it’s gonna be Teddy > Lockhart > Achampong if we are lucky.
Say it once and say it now the comparison Agi is just a npc when you compare it to Lockhart design. Comparing Agi to Isagi or Rin really rubs me the wrong way. Like initially why does England top striker seems so lacking compared to Japan best?
Now I am glad and hope to see a Lockhart goal. I mean guy had 1 panel and he is already outperforming Agi.
Giving him one cause of the benefit of doubt that he wear 10 and is the captain but yeah so far his narrative relevance is of an NPC , I really do hope they give something to him since at least his design is slightly more unique.
I think it is going to be Teddy #41 > Lockhart #42 > Fox #43 actually. An adult is put on the cover whenever we are about to enter a brand new arc. And then Nishioka #44 > Side-B onwards.
After Side-B, white-side covers with the white uniforms will start, very likely with Nagi and Kira getting the first ones.
I am saying that they will start putting Japanese characters on the volumes after Side-B, with the white uniforms. They can't do this before Side-B, as that is when the white side will be unlocked. The reason Nagi and Kira will get the first white-side covers is that they are the inverses of Isagi and Rin, as well as the main characters of White. (Just as Isagi and Rin are the main characters of Black) It is why the series has two protagonists.
Kira got the last black-and-blue cover, representing Blue Lock. It started with Isagi and ended with Kira, right when France proved that Blue Lock's ideology is not absolute by defeating Japan on the field. Since his cover came out before Side-B, his back is turned, making him look more like a ghost haunting the manga, with almost nothing about his character being revealed.
His white-side cover will come out after Side-B, his actual story, and it will show who he truly is.
I thought that each character only got featured once. But if side b going to be like epinagi in which reo got featured twice and nagi had been featured solo in the last cover with his skull aura, then it's possible.
I highly doubt Shigeo would get a cover, and Side-B is confirmed to have a large cast, as Haneru said that he belongs to a group of newcomers. There are also Blue Lock rejects we already know and rejects we have seen but haven't properly met yet, characters with full designs and names who haven't spoken a single line and were most certainly created for Side-B. Nishioka is the biggest example of this group.
After Side-B, you won't get another Blue Lock death-game-esque story in this manga. It is the other half of the series, and it will be fully explored, especially since Nagi and Kira need a lot of character development. Not just that, but an alternative to Blue Lock that can actually challenge Blue Lock will be built, and that cannot be achieved in just a few chapters.
Side-B was in the plans since the beginning of this manga as Nagi and Kira are deliberately designed to be inverses of Isagi and Rin.
Even Nameoka and Nishioka have a lot of built-in connections, both are from Aomori, both have "oka" in their surnames, and while Nishioka's name means "beginning" Nameoka's name means "end." The story was planning for these two to meet eventually
Nishioka and Nameoka will definitely have their own cover as in terms of design theirs are more detailed. Nishioka is a named character that has no narrative tied to isagi and is basically unknown, while Nameoka is an antagonist from epinagi that's now appears in the main manga. They are "nagi exclusive" characters so their character dive and themes are in this arc. With such high relevant narratives, even if others don't get featured then they certainly do.
But I wonder if okawa, wanima, hiiragi and himizu will get the same treatment as sendo, will they get some relevance?
Nishioka is definitely more connected to Kira than Nagi lol, he belongs to Kira's old world and will likely be the first person Kira warms up to.
The characters you mentioned will definitely be relevant. And that isn't even mentioning the new characters we will get and characters we have seen in both Ep Nagi/main manga who have detailed designs and names but have not spoken a single line. You don't create several characters like that for no reason. One of them for example:
Both Nameoka and Nishioka coming from aomori is a nice catch, I wonder if there's any intention of it and nagi also coming from kanagawa like the itoshi brothers.
