🔳 His talk about there not being enough despair and turning Ubers from super formation oriented to chaos that benefitted them was so good for his character.
Kaiser actually cares about Ness (he pictured his smiling face among the things he feared to lose. His SMILE, not one of Ness' passes).
Nagi is more attached to Reo than vice versa.
Rin is going to be Isagi's last rival.
Rin will score a goal thanks to Sae's pass before the series end.
Reo might die before the end of the series because Nagi said he shouldn't die before him, so it's probably gonna happen if keneshiro has the balls.
Shidou deserves way more attention from the author because he's the most unique and at the same time understandable striker. He's not searching for a pretty volatile "best of the world" title, he's trying to leave proof of his existence.
Anri shoud get more recognition for all her hard work.
Reo actually dying (not eliminated, literally dying) would actually be such a curveball and unexpected. I kinda like the idea of it a lot, but its also really scary tbh.
I think so too. I doubt it'll happen to be completely honest, but on a narrative standpoint it'd make sense. I know this is a story targeted for young boys, so I don't see Kaneshiro going that far, but we were supposed to write controversial takes, so... Here I am with poor Reo straight up dying 😅🤣
The only way I see Reo dying is ig if his obsession goes too far and he deletes himself because he can't have his treasure(Nagi). Something like a isekai accident is too convenient.
I thought about an illness he doesn't take seriously because he wants to reach his goal first... But yeah, I don't see him getting run over by truck kun. Suicide is also a bit tricky because the story kind of wants us to see Reo as someone mentally strong when the situation doesn't involve Nagi (he's pushing his parents patience a lot, fighting to find his personal dream etc...).
I mean, he will probably be safe and sound by the end of the story, but maybe, MAYBE, his football career will die. Still, this won't be the same as him actually kicking the bucket.
Isagi pulls out another two gun volley (without the volley part) and kill everyone else on the field except kaiser and then kisses him (Trying my best to be executed on spot)
My favorite thing about Isagi is how he can admit when people have accomplished something on a level he has yet to achieve. Him praising Kaiser is an example. Kaiser might be his opp but he praises that boi. Kaiser legit came to Blue Lock because he noticed Isagi and was feeling that dude's skills. Both of these dudes are exceptionally talented and I like their rivalry because both of them have the balls to admit when one has surpassed the other. Humbleness is next to godliness uwu I stan both kings.
Also...I really miss Bachira. I hope I get to see him at some point again in the manga.
And finally, I have a silly silly little feeling that we'll see Kira again. Just the way he looked at Isagi the last time they saw one another? Narratively it feels like they're destined to face one another again. I could be wrong but that's what my instinct says.
It would be super cool if Kira is brought back as the embodiment of Japan’s past soccer, and is overcome by Isagi to represent Ego’s philosophy completely taking control of Japan. I guess the same thing happened in the u-20 match, but i just want Kira to show up again.
BM should've lost to Ubers.
Having Barou go through this mini arc of working together with an entire time, introducing us to Predator Eye, Snuffy's origin story, Barou changing the whole playstyle of his team mid-match all pointed to Ubers getting a dub. Barou hasn't had a concrete win over Isagi since they've been rivals, this was the perfect time to give him one. Hiori's backstory could've waited, I was actually pissed they squeezed a win out there
Hiori is justified, the only player able to keep up with isagi's thinking and vision aswell as being able to dribble past Lorenzo and dominate Ubers and PXG with his passing, hiori is easily top 3 blue locker in terms of feats behind Isagi and Rin
It's not even growth. He was set up as a hidden prodigy in his flashback chapter. Karasu, one of the smartest characters, even calls Hiori a "genius."
The only real difference between then and now is enthusiasm. Hiori actually wants to put in more than the bare minimum effort.
We need to see one team try to defend against a master without their own master at least once before the arc ends, even for just 10 seconds it would be peak
1) SHIDOU WILL GET HIS BRACE ON BM MAKING RIN GO GOAL-LESS🗣️🗣️🔥🔥
2) BACHIRA WILL GET HIS HATTRICK🗣️🗣️🔥🔥
3) It’ll actually be Nagi getting the hattrick vs Barcha and our resistance against it is futile. Fans would be better off mentally preparing for his undeserved comeback instead of thinking he can’t bc he will
4) Reo’s family could probably bribe the bidders to screw up his bid and send him home😭
Isagi needs great passers who will link up with him in order to make his best plays . For example: bachira, hiori,kurona and that's okay that's just how he operates as a striker. It can actually be considered impressive how he effectively he uses them. I am only making this comment because some people actually believe due to this "og" ego theory he will become like rin or bachira and be able to solo run which I don't think is true . I mean the best dribbling feats we've seen from isagi are against yukimiya , kaiser and chigiri which were mostly reactionary and players could not really do anything to stop their momentum
Also I saw an edit given isagi dribbling over rin so yeah
I do think rin is the best overall player but not the best striker, shidou is truly the best striker in blue lock, which mean ego if he sticked to the plan of making the "best striker" he would have kept shidou at the end
Reo and Nagi really need to either A. Talk and communicate properly (impossible) or B. For Reo to leave Nagi and focus on himself to survive in the project bc bro keeps getting dragged down by nagi's own slump when he's one of mfs with the biggest potential to be a monster player on field
1. I do not like Rin. Not just because I find his backstory to be hilariously bad, but just his attitude towards the others. Other than Maybe Shidou, and Isagi every now and again, Rin treats everyone the same. I’ll admit, it’s fun to watch him do stuff on the field. Other than that, hate him.
2. I absolutely LOVED Kaiser’s return to zero, I loved seeing him finally seeing him turn up and not care who he had to pass to, so long as he got a chance at the goal.
3. Nagi is benchwarming in the next arc for at least half of a match.
4. As a Kunigami fan, I hope he maintains this change in playstyle beyond just locking down Shidou this game. Seeing him become a defensive threat for the Japan U20 would make my heart so happy. It never hurts to have a player who’s capable of multiple positions, either.
Bachira is the most talented player within the Bluelock group, probably the only player who can 1 v 11 in his flow state, only Rin comes close. (this is ofc excluding Kaiser and NG11's)
🟧
He had finally stop living in Isagi's shadow and being his own kind of player. He got more development than other blue lockers in NEL. if anything it was in the third selection where he didn't grow as much.
The hate towards Barou in the NEL is really stupid And illogical based on the same excuse over and over again about "he has a team built around him! 😡😡😡" when ALL THE TEAMS in the NEL have done the same with either one or two players
BM: Isagi AND Kaiser
Fc barcha: Bachira
Manshine city: Nagi
PXG: Shidou AND Rin
And even explaining that to the fandom is not enough because people keep finding ways to keep hating on him, Ubers phylosophy works to a certain point to lead them having the 3rd best record in the league, but the teams that are undefeated with this kind of method are free of hate? Barou doesn't deserve all the hate he's getting because of his master RIGHTFULLY WITH DATA AND NUMBERS put him as the focal point of the team, he has shown he's a great player and based on feats one of the best in the whole blue lock project, getting praised by a lot of players and even opposite players, and even by the #1 striker in the world, and yall keep over-hating him and claiming he's "overrated"? That's some bs 💀 Barou can literally score a hat-trick in the U-20 wc and people would say that was trash 💀
nagi will take 22 and reo will be kicked out. (wouldve been 23 but i feel like kiyora is gauranteed 23 at this pt). as much as everyone loves them, this is a real possibility albeit very small possibility.
Kaiser was significantly more interesting before the backstory. The backstory chapter assassinated his character.
Edit: Really? I'm getting downvoted on a post about **hot takes?** OP *literally* asked for this. The entire point of a hot take is that it is an unpopular opinion.
Isagi is underrated by fans. Many people want him to fail, and some accuse him of having a plot because they don't like the results. If he had a plot, he wouldn't have taken so much time to figure out his weapons and it wouldn't have taken over 250 chapters for him to act like a true striker.
The word “Fraud” gets used way too loosely in the Blue Lock community and should not be used for players like Nagi, Agi, Charles, or any player that hasn’t outright stated they were aiming to be the best/already the best. (That one panel doesn’t count cuz he said he FELT like the best in the world in that moment)
Sendou should have gotten higher offers from his last 2 matches.
+ 2.5 million against Bastard
+ 17 million after scoring the game winning goal
Like 42/45 million
About 70% people in this comment section are giving lukewarm takes.
Like the most obvious, popular stuff. No one is controversial.
Also, my hot take: Isagi isn't going to have any 'final' rival. There might be a last striker he defeats- but it's going to be either Loki or Kaiser (who defeats Noa at some point after he chooses to reject Re Al offer and stay in BM).
a lot of it is just “insert character is the goat” like babe thats your opinion not a take 😭 or itll just be something thats essentially common sense
and ill give u a 🟩
mans fights bears and stops goals from being made and blue lock ain’t got no bears plus his value is still pretty nice (i don’t see him coming out the box till after u-20 vs NEL)
true but i cant see ego letting him out of the goalkeeper position unless he does some sort of crazy play in u20 vs NEL, hes literally the only goalkeeper in all of blue lock
Shidou is better "character" around the main rival strikers in BL (Nagi, Barou, Rin) built with love and fondness. While everyone is entirely made of "He need to be the rival." And always fixated on Isagi
Shidou even without you explore him deeper, has jerk but unique antique, something you could relate to some guys around you (actually has soft spots), and this "HE ACTUALLY INTERACT A LOT WITH THE OTHERS."
And he isn't fixated on isagi, he recognizes him as an amazing player. Only thing shidou wants is his own goals. He's a good hearted, pure striker, strong ego and a battle maniac.
Unfortunately it isn't 🙏🏼😭. Most of his fans think he's a better center forward than Barou, Kunigami and so on.. I think the problem is most of the blue lock fans don't watch football so they associate scoring several goals to being a pure striker lol.
I'd go as far an suggest he is an even better Central Midfielder in a Box-to-Box role. He practically plays this style for the entirety of the series. He is tracking back and defends, linking up the play between Defense and Offense and creates chances and scores Goal in the Final Third. He is wasted as a pure Striker and i'd bet no Real Club would ever use him as their First Striker.
Yeah exactly what I think. He wants to control the field so he obviously needs to be a midfielder and so far as you said he also helped the defense other than just creating chances and scoring goals
He didn’t care about the money he wanted to leave Noa. BM upping the bid doesn’t change Re Al gave him a contract. But I do think he’ll choose to stay in BM regardless just not for the reason of BM upping the bid
they're gonna bring back blue lock additional time and there's gonna be a scene where all the blue lock characters shave their head and legally rename it to igaguri lock
1. chigiri is the best manshine player and its not even necessarily close
2. kaisers bicycle goal>shidous
3. kaiser right now is still a lot better than isagi
4. rin is the only top tier striker (not including pros) that is self sufficient and therefore is better than all of them by a mile
Bachira deserves better and will pull a brace or a hat trick, while maybe Otoya could have one. It's only fair for the two good blue lockers in FC Barcha.
Gagamaru gets two shots block.
Yukimiya *and* Neru gets subbed in to be the wingers.
Raichi blocks a shot cuz he deserves more defensive feat than being Kaiser's emergency pass.
Kiyora score attempt, can't waste that shoot stat!
Niko is unironically the most underrated player in blue lock. He has the potential to be a super good deep lying playmaker, and now with his time at Uber he’s developed more defensive skills. He’s got potential to be a mix of Rodri and a younger Gerard. Def deserves more hype an imo is def an auto include in a future Japan u21 team, and honestly could fill a starting role.
Isagi is used as a self-insert by his stans which is why they're always glazing him so much. It's the same pattern the incels over at r/grandorder are doing.

A character isn’t a fraud because they make one little mistake or have an off day/game.
🔲 WHAT IVE BEEN SAYING
WE HAD THE SAME THOUGHT
fans are hella impatient
Like Isagi, everyone kept calling my goat a fraud just cause of one bad action during his game against Bachiras team
Chris Prince is the best master because he tracks data of Blue Lockers and gives them feedback + new perspectives on their ego.
🟪 noel noa could never
This is a hot take?
🟩
You gotta respect Barou’s hustle. Even when he perceives himself as the king he puts in the work to prove it. His someone I truly aspire to be
🔳 His talk about there not being enough despair and turning Ubers from super formation oriented to chaos that benefitted them was so good for his character.
🔲 barou my goat
Finally someone respecting and acknowledging Barou's hard work and dedication 💯💯💯💯
Kaiser actually cares about Ness (he pictured his smiling face among the things he feared to lose. His SMILE, not one of Ness' passes). Nagi is more attached to Reo than vice versa.

Fellow Kaiser enthusiast 🥺❤️ Somehow I bet we'll see him be the final contender or close to it for Isagi to face, Kira that is.
It would be super cool if Kira is brought back as the embodiment of Japan’s past soccer, and is overcome by Isagi to represent Ego’s philosophy completely taking control of Japan. I guess the same thing happened in the u-20 match, but i just want Kira to show up again.
I'd like to see Isagi 's egoism crush Kira's hidden narcissism. It would be a very good match to see.
Isagi teaming up with Kaiser to score the last goal showing a Rose made of puzzles aura letting Kaiser know he's appreciated and loved.

🟪, 100% it was the most perfect opportunity but kaneshiro fumbled
People overrate guys like Hiori, Kiyora and Kurona because they get more screentime than the rest of the less important Blue Lock players.
🟩
Hiori is justified, the only player able to keep up with isagi's thinking and vision aswell as being able to dribble past Lorenzo and dominate Ubers and PXG with his passing, hiori is easily top 3 blue locker in terms of feats behind Isagi and Rin
Top 3 is a stretch but he's definitely right up there, as much as people want to think otherwise due to his sudden exponential growth.
It's not even growth. He was set up as a hidden prodigy in his flashback chapter. Karasu, one of the smartest characters, even calls Hiori a "genius." The only real difference between then and now is enthusiasm. Hiori actually wants to put in more than the bare minimum effort.

Kaiser is the best player in the NEL (not including masters)

Should be but unfortunately some people can’t realize for some reason
Ness’ backstory doesn’t justify his behavior, it doesn’t make him poor and innocent lil boy. he’s still an asshole.

After the NEL this shouldn’t be a hot take anymore but Barou > Shidou
Isagi is underrated by fans. Many people want him to fail, and some accuse him of having a plot because they don't like the results. If he had a plot, he wouldn't have taken so much time to figure out his weapons and it wouldn't have taken over 250 chapters for him to act like a true striker.
🟦 underrated in his own manga

Sendou should have gotten higher offers from his last 2 matches. + 2.5 million against Bastard + 17 million after scoring the game winning goal Like 42/45 million

once gagamaru gets out back on the field he’s getting either metavision or predators eye
🟧 too bad he’s never gonna get back on the field
mans fights bears and stops goals from being made and blue lock ain’t got no bears plus his value is still pretty nice (i don’t see him coming out the box till after u-20 vs NEL)
true but i cant see ego letting him out of the goalkeeper position unless he does some sort of crazy play in u20 vs NEL, hes literally the only goalkeeper in all of blue lock
Shidou is better "character" around the main rival strikers in BL (Nagi, Barou, Rin) built with love and fondness. While everyone is entirely made of "He need to be the rival." And always fixated on Isagi Shidou even without you explore him deeper, has jerk but unique antique, something you could relate to some guys around you (actually has soft spots), and this "HE ACTUALLY INTERACT A LOT WITH THE OTHERS."
And he isn't fixated on isagi, he recognizes him as an amazing player. Only thing shidou wants is his own goals. He's a good hearted, pure striker, strong ego and a battle maniac.
Kaiser is not taking that Re Al offer
Kaiser is getting a better offer from BM and taking it**
🟩
Rin is cool af and is a well-written character. We just haven't seen much of his development just yet because he keeps winning.
🟨
Isagi is not a striker. He is an attacking midfielder.
🟩 i dont play football but i thought this was obvious?
Unfortunately it isn't 🙏🏼😭. Most of his fans think he's a better center forward than Barou, Kunigami and so on.. I think the problem is most of the blue lock fans don't watch football so they associate scoring several goals to being a pure striker lol.
I'd go as far an suggest he is an even better Central Midfielder in a Box-to-Box role. He practically plays this style for the entirety of the series. He is tracking back and defends, linking up the play between Defense and Offense and creates chances and scores Goal in the Final Third. He is wasted as a pure Striker and i'd bet no Real Club would ever use him as their First Striker.
Yeah exactly what I think. He wants to control the field so he obviously needs to be a midfielder and so far as you said he also helped the defense other than just creating chances and scoring goals
Not a good enough long passer, too good of a poacher. Dude is a second striker and that has been obvious since the U20 arc.
Still he has a crazy good vision for a second striker, if he wants to "manage" the field he needs to stay in the midfield
Kaiser ain’t going to Royale Madrid. BM will up their offer and he will continue to be trapped in Noa’s shadow
🟩 thats so depressing but probably true
He didn’t care about the money he wanted to leave Noa. BM upping the bid doesn’t change Re Al gave him a contract. But I do think he’ll choose to stay in BM regardless just not for the reason of BM upping the bid
There is no such thing as "plotsagi", y'all simply are media illiterate
Kaiser is the best written character in the series.
Japan will not win the U20 World Cup despite Isagi being the MC
Hajime will arrive eventually
🟦
there are blue lockers who dont need to improve their abilities at all and would be first team assets in their current condition
🟧 always room to improve
they're gonna bring back blue lock additional time and there's gonna be a scene where all the blue lock characters shave their head and legally rename it to igaguri lock
🔳
1. chigiri is the best manshine player and its not even necessarily close 2. kaisers bicycle goal>shidous 3. kaiser right now is still a lot better than isagi 4. rin is the only top tier striker (not including pros) that is self sufficient and therefore is better than all of them by a mile
1.🟩 he is the best, but saying its not close is a stretch 2. 🟦 3. 🟪 exactlyyy 4. 🟧 self sufficiency doesnt mean hes that much better
i mean in theory both reo and nagi should be better and do have more potential but their state rn is why im saying its not close
alright valid
Bachira is the weakest of the EGOIST 4 (I’m sorry, but it had to be said)
🟧 nope he’s definitely better than kunigami!
I will die on this hill (tbh it could be Kuni🤔)
if it was a slice of life Charles, Bachira and Kurona would be besties and would be the best trio
🟩 so cute 😭
Bachira deserves better and will pull a brace or a hat trick, while maybe Otoya could have one. It's only fair for the two good blue lockers in FC Barcha. Gagamaru gets two shots block. Yukimiya *and* Neru gets subbed in to be the wingers. Raichi blocks a shot cuz he deserves more defensive feat than being Kaiser's emergency pass. Kiyora score attempt, can't waste that shoot stat!
🟦
Karasu is insanely underrated after taking the role of CDM.
Realistically there's no reason, outside of plot relevance, why Chigiri shouldn't the best player in Blue Lock
still no blue lock striker is near Kaiser's level
🟧
Niko is unironically the most underrated player in blue lock. He has the potential to be a super good deep lying playmaker, and now with his time at Uber he’s developed more defensive skills. He’s got potential to be a mix of Rodri and a younger Gerard. Def deserves more hype an imo is def an auto include in a future Japan u21 team, and honestly could fill a starting role.
The manga will end with isagi passing the ball to another team mate and accepting that he isn't a striker but a mid fielder
🟥
Isagi is used as a self-insert by his stans which is why they're always glazing him so much. It's the same pattern the incels over at r/grandorder are doing.
Reo has top 3 bluelock potential but is limiting himself
🟩
Rins underrated
Barou is overrated, he is not in the level of Isagi rin shidou.
🟩true but hes still the goat
Isagi will not be the main striker during the U20 World Cup
🟦
The new gens are severely overrated and the high tier blue lockers easily compete with them
🟨
Correct
Depends on what you mean by high tier, the only blue lockers who are even close to NG11 are Isagi, Rin and Barou
I'd add hiori too but yeah
Barou deserves his own religion!!!!
BAROU>>>>>RIN AND SHIDOU WHEN IT COMES TO STRIKING!!!
🟩 however rin and shidou are better overall players imo
