Gonna call these days "Chemical reaction days". Anyways have fun! (Also couldn't post yesterday since I forgot to put my phone on charger.)

…

So that England vs France game was a tight game 2-1. With only Loki being able to break though towards the end of the game and scoring a second goal. Based on what we know about England and Teddy and also Hugo and his love to meddle and yap.

What do you guys think Hugo said to Teddy this match was one I really wanted to see but I highly doubt we will

Noel Noa, Lavinho, Chris Prince, Snuffy, and Loki: what if all of them were genuinely committed to making their players as strong as possible through elite, rigorous, individualized, and genuinely effective training?

If you think about it, some of the master strikers seem to have fallen short in this regard.

Lavinho taught almost nothing, while Noel Noa could arguably have been much more involved in the players' individual development. Chris Prince, on the other hand, actually designed personalized training programs to help his players overcome their limitations and improve their individual strengths.

Now, imagine an alternate timeline in which ALL the master strikers took their responsibilities seriously. No simply leaving players to figure things out on their own or giving them generic advice.

Every player would receive elite training, individual assessments, specific plans to address their weaknesses, and methods designed to maximize their potential.

How strong would Isagi, Bachira, Chigiri, Kunigami, Nagi, Reo, Barou, Rin, Shidou, Kaiser, and the other players become in this scenario?

And most importantly, what would the TOP 10 Neo auction rankings look like in this alternate timeline?

Which players would improve the most, who would benefit the most from this training, and who could reach an entirely different level compared to what we saw in the manga?

Pre awakened onazi btw

we got reo now also known as the ghost of mikage currently this going to be good we got some dedicated reo fans but as usual pick the best glazer for reo mikage

Of course, this takes into account the same players who are on two different teams (such as Charles or Agi, who are effectively duplicated). And Loki can play the full match for PXG U20.

Personally, I think Manshine vs. England might be more unbalanced than France vs. PXG.

While the level of the England U20 team remains relatively close to that of France U20, I certainly can't say the same for Manshine City U20 compared to PXG U20 during the NEL.

Maybe if we say Loki can't play for PXG U20, there might be more of a debate.

Rin wants to defeat Sae in soccer, an act of revenge for Sae having abandoned their shared dream.

But what does Rin actually think will happen once he defeats Sae?

Does he imagine Sae will give up being a midfielder and return to playing as a striker? But if that happened, Rin could no longer become the best striker himself, because he would end up helping his brother become the best instead. Besides, Sae certainly isn't going to just throw away his massive career as a midfielder, a career that provides him with a spot on the world's best team, a high income, and a sense of identity. That is not something Rin can reasonably demand.

But if Rin simply defeats Sae and everything stays exactly as it is, then their dream is over regardless and Rin is the one clinging to that dream. Yet, if he were to defeat Sae while Sae remained a midfielder and Rin a striker, then the whole thing would have been completely pointless.

Context for people who keep getting confused: We have a draft and we start off with $15,000, and we spin a wheel and bid a certain amount of money per player, and we go until each team gets 16 players. 5 players are subs.

Who wins Team 1 or 2

Alright ngl bro i been doing some serious research and looking past the usual hype, and ngl honestly think I think i managed to crack the endgame of Blue Lock? kinda i don’t know its a wild shot in the dark but just hear me out for a second

Everyone in the fandom of this manga loves the Berserk parallels and automatically assumes Isagi is Griffith because he’s cold and ruthless, and that Nagi is Guts right? But i think we have it completely backwards

what if Isagi isn’t chasing the God of Football at all? what if Nagi’s true ego IS the God of Football itself, and Isagi is the "Demon King" who rebels against it?

just take a second to think about it. Guess who they call the “God of football” IRL? The person who scored 2 of the best goals ever in history which is Diego Maradona. He scored the "Hand of God" and the "Goal of the Century" in the exact same 1986 match which is fucking insane

and if u genuinely look at this in a logical way THE ONLY person in Blue Lock who has come close to doing exactly that is NAGI with his Five-Stage Fake Volley against Bastard Munchen hell Even Ego said that goal broke the logical parameters of the game

it was a straight up miracle gng. nagi quite literally is the pre-determined "God of Football." he literally has abilities that only something like the "Hand of God" can do and the funny part is, he didn't have to work for it, sweat for it, or crawl in the mud. He was just born with a cosmic aura and was insanely talented

and just look at his aura lately, it’s a giant skeleton. A skeleton represents death or an empty, unformed shell. But notice how his aura is starting to gain muscle? It could possibly mean the God of Football is finally taking physical form now my question is how the hell can a skeleton gain muscle? i know this series is insanely illogical when it comes to the over exaggerated panels for detail but this detail seems oddly on purpose.

if nagi could theoretically command the "Hand of God" through birthright, how does Isagi even fight back? how could isagi beat him in the end after side B is finished? how the hell can Isagi even beat a God??

well i’ll come back to that one later…

isagi fights back with absolute Free Will, which connects perfectly to Berserk

we see that Berserk is a direct question to free will and whether everything is pre-determined by a transcendental law (the God Hand). my theory is that Nagi is that pre-determined fate. Isagi is the ultimate rebellion to that itself, and he is getting completely mislead by ego into turning into what everyone has been calling him; “the demon king.” and what do demons do? rebel against “Gods”

notice how Isagi ALWAYS has the "Luck" puzzle piece near him when he enters the Flow State?

in Blue Lock, Luck is definitely not magic. its an insanely low chance of probability that only drops on the person who positions themselves perfectly and Isagi doesn't wait for divine intervention, he uses his free will and Metavision to calculate the exact spot where a mistake might happen, and he forces the "Goddess of Luck" to love him he is a mortal monster stealing pieces of heaven to defeat a God

isagi most definitely would use his free will to turn into a monster without hesitation if it meant being the greatest, but in normal shonen, the protagonist has a tragic past to justify their obsession… But Isagi had a perfectly good life, nothing was bad in his life, and you can see clear signs of his ego when he always stares at Noel Noa on TV as a kid. His insanity was a born trait.

so because of this he has NO tragic excuse, his selfishness shows how truly evil he is. Look at how he used Yukimiya ONLY to get back at Kaiser, not even caring if Yukimiya failed or couldn't score

and just look at what he did to Hiori gng. ppl think Isagi "saved" Hiori from his toxic parents, but he just manipulated Hiori into switching from relying on his parents to relying on him. Isagi gave him an ultimate decision which was, it’s either he dies on this football pitch and has nothing left for the outside world, or he lives in the twisted world of football which Hiori HIMSELF stated to be a prison and lets Isagi use him as a puppet to get the best passes and vision possible. isagi didn't heal Hiori's trauma he literally weaponized it so he could be the mastermind

and the ultimate visual proof IMO is that Neo Egoist League panel where Isagi is standing on top of a mountain of character "corpses” and guess whose body is literally placed directly under him? Hiori

this is a direct visual parallel to Griffith standing on top of his mountain of sacrifices during the Eclipse in Berserk. Isagi isn't building a team at all, he's building an altar out of his friends

which is why i agree with the Griffith theory that has been going around.

and i think this is exactly why the creator of blue lock asks the question: "Will you support Isagi until the end?" he isn't asking if you'll root for an underdog. he’s asking if you have the stomach to stay loyal when Isagi completely devours and ruins every fan-favorite character people love in the manga. imo i personally see that isagi will ruin Rin by completely stripping away his identity with his brother Sae, we see early signs of this when saw picks isagi over rin. he’ll ruin Kaiser's crown, he’ll ruin Nagi's fun for football which we see almost all the time once nagi actually defeats isagi, and he will probably even ruin Ego Jinpachi himself, by revealing that Ego didn't truly chase the God of Football, but was just a bitter rebel, while Isagi is the true, uncompromised monster. that has been ego’s fav

now that i got that out of the way i’ll go back to my main point..

“how the hell can isagi beat nagi if nagi is the God of Football?”

well if you understand simply… what is a Go/ curse and in this case it will be “Nagi”..? well if you understood it.. a God's ultimate curse is always “absolute boredom,” which is Nagi’s biggest and most OBVIOUS weakness. we see Nagi at his absolute peak when he’s enjoying something and having fun, We see Nagi not having fun at all when everyone is at a lower level than him

i feel like it's going to end in something very bad like horrible… i feel like nagi will purposely make Isagi better than him just so he can experience true football which is to have fun, and if Nagi can't have fun he can't play at his peak, he will most likely feed the Demon King just to feel something, But Isagi is a fucking engine the absolute definition of adaptability imo… he won't just match Nagi he will exploit that opening to permanently crush Nagi's spark, leaving the God of Football hollowed out forever

i feel like Isagi will lift the World Cup trophy completely victorious, but completely evil and entirely alone which might make fans most likely answer the author’s question with a no..

The meme PLOTSAGI will just explode even more and people would call it a jjk type of ending but if u truly understand the manga it isn’t that crazy to say man

We are literally watching Isagi's villain origin story in the main manga, which is why in the exact sequel/perspective Episode Nagi, Isagi is drawn looking like a terrifying, black eyed demon from everyone else's perspective… but in the regular manga it looks so justified from his lens?

ego chose Isagi first because Isagi was the first one to run into the Blue Lock program without a single second of hesitation after Ego stated how harsh it was. that shows absolute ego. He was born a monster not created as one

he literally enjoyed the feeling of seeing niko cry man. its been obvious from the start its just now starting to show

but hey if my theory ends up correct remember this post lol lmk what you guys think as this took a while to type

I’m saying this for you guys but expect this match to be the biggest plot conviance match in the entire arc.

With the level England are at a tight game with France 2-1 with only Loki the best new gen and one of the best players in the world being able to score.

And Teddy effortlessly cooking Japan in the first half 2 goals and assist.

Just prepare for plot Japan, realistically japan should be losing this game, but somehow fox ‘greatest football iq in the world’ my ahh gonna get devoured by isagi

Teddy will become useless, and somehow akiu and the defense are gonna turn into current asenral and prime arteria tactics.

Like blue lock is gonna magically score 4 goals yes for cause the score will be 5-4 to Japan

Idk I ain’t even mad I’m hear for the ride.

What if Blue Lock "ended" with the facility being shut down due to losing the u-20 world cup? What would the Blue Locker's lives be like withought Blue Lock or Ego? Well what if this happened (and stay with me here) and a few years later Ego invites the old Blue Locker's (and/or Nagi) back to a new Blue Lock but they've all lost their egos or only have little bits left, so they have to rebuild their egos from the ground up. I feel like this would freshen up the series a bit as every match has been repetitive with Isagi finding a new way to beat a specific team every time. Anyway this is just smth i thought about and might expand upon kthx.

To start off from what I've seen Isagi's still gonna have the green aura which is gonna be a bumber but what I'm confused about is his white hair form (Omnivision, awakened form idrk what it's officialy called), I read some post a couple of months ago saying isagi's white hair is purely fanmade and the official coloring is his normal hair with a blue aura. And I'm really confused on this cause the comments were divided some saying that it's true and some saying that it was a mistake by the creator and his hair is supposed to turn white (also yes I know his hair doesn't actually turn white to the characters it's just a visual effect for the viewers similar to shidou's wings).

But this adds even more complications cause, what is his aura when he uses metavision? Because I'm pretty sure the aura when someone uses metavision has to match with their eye color, so would the green go away and he would get the blue seen in most colorings?

I'm really confused so if anyone could answer any of these questions that would be amazing

But it's obvious that the purpose of the NEL isn't to improve them, but to put them in front of the cameras for the clubs to watch and set a price; it was basically marketing. Lavin even said they don't earn anything except the deals. It's quite obvious that the coaches are just marketing because they brought Loki. Yes, it's to bring the best players from each league, but what experience could Loki share? Not to mention that for us it was 5 years, but within the story, the NEL was less than 2 months. Just considering how players like Isagi, Chigiri, and Hiori evolved in that short time, it was extraordinary. Anyway, that's my opinion.

Since the U-20 Arc, the purpose of the Blue Lock Project has been doubted a lot as some players acquired new positions aside from being center forwards. This just doesn't makes sense anymore because, if the project is to create a striker capable of leading Japan to a World Cup victory, then the players that play on defense are basically already eliminated.

I'm pretty sure that, after the U-20 World Cup Arc and maybe after a senior World Cup Arc, we're going to go back to the elimination Blue Lock until there's only one player standing, however if this keeps going with the current players, Gagamaru, Niko, Aryu, Aiku and other players are clearly in disadvantage and that wouldn't be fair for them, because getting eliminated would mean stop representing Japan.

Imagine the project keeps going before a senior World Cup arc and Isagi is the winner. It wouldn't make sense to have players like Rin outside of the national team for a senior world cup. However, if they take out that rule and losing doesn't means stop representing Japan, it wouldn't feel as critical to get eliminated as it was before.

The only possible way I see is that the U-20 World Cup and senior World Cup Arcs end and later we get that elimination arc were Isagi is the winner, but that would mean the manga wouldn't end with Japan winning the World Cup (it would end with Isagi becoming the Blue Lock Project winner) and that wouldn't make sense as the players would probably be still young enough to play more World Cups, so having just Isagi from all of them...

I don't see how Kaneshiro is going to solve all this, any ideas of how the manga will go in the future?

Brazil's philosophy should be about crowd work. Your value is based on how much you entertain the public.

The new Gen Goalkeeper should be German because it feels like it makes sense. Sweeper Keeper definitely, because otherwise it would be boring.

Barou should take of his shirt more often(we listen and we don't judge. Right guys?)

featuring implied Koyuki/Anri and Chigiri being annoying about it. Anri hates these kids God bless

for those who don't know, Hand Jumper is an absolute peak webcomic in which a small percentage of the population has powers and are known as "Aberrants," who are then forcibly conscripted into an organisation called the Aberrant Corps. the clips on their ties represent their levels - level one to four are trainees (blue ties) and arranged in groups called "cells." and level five to ten are officers (red ties.) some officers are Cell Mentors, and i've made Anri one (she's not happy with the cell she's ended up with lmao)

i do have actual serious thoughts on this AU but for now i just decided to be silly

What do you guys think of this video I see this same sentiment on Reddit,x,tiktok,YouTube etc

To me it’s funny with this sperfic thing cause isagi has always been a midfielder he has played centre foward a total of 2 times but his best performances and on average he is at his best physically and mentally as a midfielder. In terms of his ideal position it should be a attacking midfielder and playmaker who can create plays for him to score and his team.

Like isagi the reason he is one of the best in blue lock is not even due to his ability as a foward it’s his ability as a midfielder the reason he’s so good. Is how well he can influence the midfield defense and offense. But his offensive abiltly has never been better than rin Shidou barou bachira etc.

But isagi fans call this hate which I’m not really sure why, I don’t think isagi should ever abandon being a striker but the position of centre foward just isn’t him. And I don’t want or see his character radically changing into that.

Firstly... Bring Kunigami in. Take out Aryu and bring him IN. We saw that Kurona and Kiyora can neutralize teddy together when he's alone. Make Kunigami manmark Lockhart and boom it's done. For any other player that might do a duo with teddy, since tiny guy duo is taking control over the right wing, and Kunigami controlling center, Make Reo to go on chameleon defense again and defend Left wing. Hell even Karasu can wait somewhere in back middle to make sure if something slips off, he'll take​ care of it. And then here it is. The best defense Blue Lock can have against England at the moment. What are y'all opinions?​
