- "This is the complete opposite of everything i've ever been taught". Yeah, me too Isagi Yoichi.
I never expected to like Blue Lock let alone love it as much as I do, but having now read the Blue Lock manga and watched Episode 14, it's definitely one of my favourite anime/manga of all time.
My reaction to it completely surprised me. Blue Lock has been a real game-changer in the anime world.
Jinpachi Ego has a COMPLETELY different philosophy to anyone i've ever heard, either in anime or IRL, and honestly, I absolutely love it.
As long as it's not taken too far, I think developing a bit of Blue Lock ego in real life is a great thing for a lot of us.

It's finally here, hope people don't mind the stock footage too much, I would have loved to just use clips but c0pyright yknow.
What anime would you guys like to see next?
Another lesson in blue lock is taking risks and avoiding complacency to improve yourself. The skills that was enough for them to win the previous match wasn't enough to win the next.
Yeah I'm potentially gonna make the next video on this, it really teaches you to work on yourself as an individual
the quote that best illustrate this is from a anime called kaiji. "people that tell you to cherish your life are all losers. if you spend your whole life never taking risks, you will never grasp any real opprotunites and your life will rot away like trash."
it makes more sense in context.
When I first watched the first few episodes I started being more selfish when I played soccer. I have gotten way better, and I am scoring more
I play basketball so do you just pass less like try to score more? Or is there more
I think the real message of the show is to work on yourself as an individual to get better
@@alpha5873 you need the skills to back up your ego. If you are better than the people on your team pass only in situations when you aren't confident you can score.
@@alpha5873 just believe in your abilities and take the chances people give you
first you gotta know what you're weapon is, what would separate you from the rest of the team. i mean there has to be something.. 😂 then proceed to owning that skill and hone your performance on the game. as ego said, in the field, you're the star.
Like Chigiri said
If it broke then so be it!
Thats a motto to live a life!!!
Loved that scene, definitely the best in the show
It's all about counting the cost. If u don't mind the huge cost, go ahead. If u do, then don't.
"His joy would come first above everything else" was an eye opener. I laughed when I heard you say those words. Not in a mocking way, but a way of "Crap, I have put myself so low to what I could be. My joy is never first, it's usually someone else I care about more than me."
It made me realize what truly is wrong with myself.
Thanks for the videos man.
I went through the same thing, it's never too late to start 💪
Exactly right. Ego is essential. Many ppl get that wrong nowadays
Yeah bro, the definition of ego is also totally different to what people think
When I watch this show, I learned that rather than denying ego, destroy it, and then improve it. The best way to destroy ego is to experience losing, then a much better ego will born from it
I really never thought that a sports anime would care so much about ego, yet implement it so well! I kinda think i should start to give my self a bit of an ego boost. I haven't really been in that many crappy situations, but it does get really annoying when people are passive-aggressive, or just straight up rude to me, and i feel like i just have to take that, without saying anything. I know you'll reach your 30k sub goal, just keep pushing.
Yeah there's definitely a balance to it all, but you absolutely don't have to stay silent when someone's being rude to you
Fascinatingly, you point out that this is not about anyone else or comparing ourselves with others.
This is about reaching your own highest potential. It is a one-player game. And it is found when you stop looking at anyone else at all. And just look “up”.
That is not “ego”. The stuff of the other “too far” people in this anime.
That is simply pure aspiration and understanding of yourself.
I’ve always Been Told i was never gonna achieve anything and laughed at whenever i tried, and overtime i completely lost My ego. Like, why even try? I’ll just get laughed at for even attempting to play the sport, or solve the math problem.
I’ve started being more selfish. An example is whenever we play football, Im always told to be goalkeeper or defender, When i want to get better and be able to score. Now whenever they ask me to play GK i just tell Them “No. I want to play, i want to be better. Im always GK or defender meanwhile you have fun scoring goals. Even if i don’t score, i atleast want to play”
That's good man, that's not being selfish, that's just standing up for yourself.
Exactly, having ego or confidence is frowned upon. No wonder for half my life I wasnt happy as I am now. It all came full circle too, it all just made sense. Its chaotic but thats the thrill. Talk your shit and do your best to walk that talk. Risk becoming a clown n choose violence. Throw away your common sense and be reborn.
Don't choose violence bro, but other than that I agree
@@LessonsFromAnime it just means take the risk lol. just makin it edgy af
Ah OK got ya, best of luck my man 💪
This has done more to boost my self-confidence and drive for success than ANYTHING the red-pill community has put out.
Ah don't be watching that stuff man, but I'm glad it helped :)
rp community became cringe man. just improve yourself and be a good person like YT vid said
So ego is like the confidence and capacity to take action? Also good luck to 30,000!
Yeah the definition of it is actually really different to what I expected
I literally have no interest in football, but this is still my favorite anime of 2022 and is probably gonna go in my top ten. I've gone ahead in the manga and damn blue lock is so good. It's definitely made me a better version of myself. a bit of ego is honestly important
Same, zero interest in football but this is defo in my top 5. And that one arc ( you know which one but I won't spoil the name of for anyone else reading) is one of the best things I've ever read.
And yeah, it's made me fully decide enough is enough when it comes to people treating me poorly.
@@LessonsFromAnime I feel you
You get a well deserved sub, keep up the content man, you got this. 🗿
Brother, I love the way you are thinking and changing. Blue Lock has also changed my vision on life. And when i saw the name of your account, i thought you already had more than a million subs, but i was happy to see that you have 1.67k, because now i get to see in real time what an 'ego' will get you, because i know you will explode on youtube!
I will watch your other video's soon enough
Stay Hard!
I was quite surprised this name wasn't taken tbf lol, and cheers man, I think I will too, even if it will take a while
you were right bro haha
My myy i just finished this show and now i understand i never had an ego since it got killed by my step mom from childhood. I sat back and laughed at myself. I missed so many opportunities in life because i expected people to do them since they're better and i was always called complacent. Damn 😅 i badly wanted to please people. But now i get it.
Surprisingly anime taught me this 👍🏿. This video came at the right time
Watching this video for the first time when you're near the precipice of your goal is crazy, keep up the great work!
I really wish I discovered you sooner I've gone through such hard times and your videos have changed me thank you!!! Your videos are awesome keep going
I'm so glad!
Ive been binging your videos all night. I needed this man. And i really appreciate this channel.
Glad I could help!
I can’t even lie but low key this anime has got to be one of the best sports anime to date. This anime literally made me a fan of soccer now I would even go as far as put it up there with attack on titan idk man this anime just hit different and grabs your attention like no other 10/10
Great video. Im going through a bad chapter in my life but your videos and Blue lock have helped me push through
Glad you liked it man, things always get better dw
Almost at 50k bro. Congrats, please dont stop with the content
Thanks! Will do!
Good balance of ego is something that is decently hard to achieve, but definitely something people should focus on
Good video 👍
Cheers man!
Love your channel man
Cheers bro! Gonna try and upload a bit more frequently in future lol
Hey man, I just found out about your channel and watched all of your videos. The last 2, in particular, helped me with a situation where -now- I kind of don't know who is or isn't with me. 2022 was a shitty year, but after your video, I decided to act. Thanks, man. I will grow my ego back
Comments like this are the reason I make these videos, time to make 2023 our year bro
Ego is a very important part of all of us but at the same time it shouldn't be taken to the extreme. I went to something similar to you where I was picked on untill I snapped and turned into a bully myself a proper A class asshole. My point being both of the extremes are bad the middle is the optimal place to be imo.
Also good luck with hitting 30k I'm sure you'll hit it as long as you're consistent.
You've got this 💪.
Yeah I agree, there's definitely a balance, which is why I think someone like Chigiri is a great example, unlike Barou he doesn't take it too far
thank you for the video
Beautifully said👏🏾
Cheers my man :)
Good Luck on being popular!
Amazing video
Amazing video man, I will be watching your amazing growth from now on :)
Keep going!!!
Cheers man :)
I think we have left out (to use the anime's symbolism) a crucial piece of the puzzle in the equation to success here: ability. Self-confidence, or ego, is a good and necessary thing, no doubt about that. But it needs to be accompanied and firmly founded in something undeniable or unshakable, otherwise it's just empty positive thinking with its feet firmly planted in mid-air. And it is only a matter of time before the lies of self-doubt start to creep in again when the rubber meets the road.
You used Chigiri as an example, and said his ego (or self-confidence) came from "wanting to be the best and carry on doing what he loves". I respectfully beg to differ; it actually came from his undeniable track record as a player with exceptional speed. His strong desire to be the best striker acted as the trigger to help him break the chains, but it would have meant nothing if he did not have the chops to back it up. In fact, all the players in Blue Lock have a weapon; none of them are weapon-less. That's what they could base their ego on at the start, and then they developed themselves from there.
To use an analogy, a Kia Picanto will never be able to perform like a F1 race car, no matter how much positive thinking or ego or self-confidence on the part of the driver. For Chigiri, it was a case of a driver with self-doubt driving a F1 car really slowly. But the moment he regained his confidence, he floored the pedal and the F1 car took off. Ultimately, you still need to back up your ego with something, be it a past track record, a new training plan or system, new equipment or gear, or even money. Yes, the confidence or ego is important, but it has to be able to give a good answer when life asks: "And what makes you think you can do that?"
It’s 2024 and you have almost 60,000 subscribers, double what your goal was
Almost at the goal keep going
Im impressed and i loved this video!
Cheers man!
Congrats on 30k
Thank you!!
You earned yourself a subscriber king 👑
Cheers bro :)
Good to know I'm not the only one who this anime helped out!
You did it!!!!! 30,000 subs, Congrats!
🎉
You earned yourself a subscriber. Keep going!!
Cheers bro!
I will start watching Blue Lock now, never been into sports anime, but this one caught my eye. Great video my friend.
Do it bro its so good!
I too have seen egoism as a way to grow after seeing blue lock it taught me that the key to victory is yourself not another, and seeing isagi in recent manga chapter's i saw that he couldn't do it alone but rather then giving up and thinking he is below his allies he used them for his own goal. So what i mean is that i aspire to be egoistic and not to see others strong points as obstacles but as tools after all they might be the tool i use to win
I just subscribed bro now you're almost 30k. Good luck man!
These videos must be so weird to watch now I'm actually at the goal lol
In the end of the year I'm gonna flex i found your channel before 1000 subs man, keep it up
Will do! Cheers :)
another banger
Cheers man!
YEEEEEEESSSSSSS!!! This video is SPOT ON!!! In 2019 My teacher told me something I'll never forget. She said "Jelani, you need just a little bit of an ego." I didn't understand what she meant till I watched some hyped up show about soccer! LOL.
I've always been exceptional, academically, physically, socially. But I never felt like I was worth any of it. I didn't feel it for myself, I didn't allow myself to break free of the self imposed chains of a false reality. For whatever reason, I thought I was less than. Pretty much the same ability as Barou but the opposite mentality. My reality couldn't be further from the truth. Now my every desire is to be the absolute best I can be. To do the impossible. To feel in every fiber of my being my own importance and worth.
Dude this is the best video I've ever watched breaking down the core philosophy of this show. Confidence, self worth, a drive to do the impossible, that faith in yourself. Go for your goal bro! I'm here to support.
Wow that's quite a compliment at the end there hahaha, cheers man!
I knew i have to stand up for myself these days but i kept letting terrible jokes at my expense, i realised why i was so happy last year. Its because i stopped caring if they liked me or not, i knew that but that fear of rejection seeped into my life at the end of 2022. Now i understand, its okay to be selfish
Keep it up king
It’s so cool to hear other people using Blue Lock as a template to self-improve! I wish we had more media like it. I think my big take away from the anime so far is in the first episode where Yoichi chooses to go after a challenge than an easy victory. I’ve had a creative block for awhile, but i’ve been slowly able to get through it by doing little challenges for myself and it’s helped a lot.
Something about Chigiri’s story that’s so interesting is how later in the anime, he talks to Nagi about his leg. He claims that every time he runs, he does it like its the last time he’ll run. That way, if he does hurt his leg again, he’ll have no regrets. I recently applied that to a situation to motivate me to live by my new values. I have lingering anxiety, but I don’t have regret. Feels much better.
I liked your ego, good luck and you have my sub you will get big :)
Cheers man, the channel is certainly growing quickly so far!
your literally one of the mc's keep it up
Will do!
One of the priorities i find when trying to follow what you truly aspire to be is to completely let go of the "what ifs" that drag you down, instead of thinking "what if I fail" think "what if I stay the same?", "What if I succeed?", "What if this fear that I feel is what's holding me back from the future that I seek?" Let that what ifs motivate you. Let them push you forward. Not hold you back.
u got this g
bro you make banger content, hold up while I watch your entire library
Haha hope you enjoy bro!
Honestly, I believe there's a mindset for every area in life, depending on what you wanna achieve. In soccer I found this one to be spot on. Some people say it's childish but I find it more childish to think that "the magic of friendship" is gonna carry you to victory.
This series hooked me on the trailer and got me to read the manga right after two episodes and as i kept going i got the impression of the ego that jinpachi was trying to teach them was something of the lines of "if you think you are the best you will be" which is something that i put into practice a few times in my day to day life even if it's not in athletics it gives this drive to become something more than your past self and to disregard others if it meant self improvement or potential victory in the challenges you might have. well that's my take at least
“If you don’t dedicate your life to reaching the top, what’s the point?”
Jinpachi does advocate putting yourself above the collective but the prerequisite is that you’re trying to be the Champion not just being self centered or narrow minded.
I had watched 5 episodes of the show, and listened to all the rest of your Blue Lock lessons, when I came to this final video wondering: How do I find my weapon?
And this final video answered it for me
Great video 📹 👍
i think a lot of time people look at egos as something disrespectful towards other but you can build a respectful yet strong EGO. not a weak EGO thats disrespectful towards others
really cool concept for a channel, you have a sub, and i hope you reach your goal.
Me realizing you used Haikyuu's 'Confrontation with the (Grand)King' 😮
Good video!❤
Yeah love the haikyuu OST lol
@@LessonsFromAnime
Yes!
You'll do it. Trust in the process and trust in yourself. That's what ego is also about.
Cheers bro!
Got my Sub, After watching several of your videos this is the first time I noticed you had only 500 Subs, thought you had like 100k or so.
Good Luck on your Journey, I will comment on each video to boost you for the YT algorithm
Haha cheers man!
I was a weirdo in middle school and made myself the most egotistical asshole, I didn’t understand how I was meant to master my pride until I watched blue lock
I want to be the best striker out of all my friends and also I want to be the top student in my class, that's my ego. Most of my friends tell me I'm not good enough or not that smart, but who cares. My goals are not theirs, they are all solely mine and I'll do whatever it takes to achieve it. I'm slowly getting better at football and is actually getting a good grade for the subject that I'm extremely weak at which is maths. I'll continue to drive myself forward in life thanks to this life-changing anime.
Edit : and hey I guess you already achieved what you wanted which is 30k subs so congrats man. 👏
You'll get there bro!
holy cow earned by sub keep it up!
Will do :)
will check out thanks ,
I hope you go beyond your goals this year and get your 30k subs ⚡
Me too man :)
Blue lock is the anime not only teach you about ego but it also teaches you to become the main character of your story. Become the best version of you. Do what you do, Don’t listen to anyone that turn you down and listen to the love ones like family. But most of all. Always act up and do what it is needed. No one else will do it besides you so that is my ego. The main character ego😂
Legit... thanks to this Series.. I've decided to get my But up and move... unleash your egos..🙌🏻💯🙇🏽♂️
You’ll get to 30k
I sure hope so lol
I started applying these to valorant ever since i watched blue lock and i went from being a mid tier player to almost always being team mvp, what makes it feel better too is i dont play nearly enough to warrant how well i do, i started the season off at bronze 1, and in one day i reached silver 2
Let's be the egoist our Hearts desire us to be
One more subscriber in the Count.
I play soccer in the states and I kid you not. Jinpachi Ego’s speech legitimately changed the way I play soccer for the better
How so? I don't actually play soccer so for me it was more of a personal thing but I've always been interested to hear what people who actually play thinkb
@@LessonsFromAnime I play club and don't have the best coach. I was always quite down and depressed while playing and started to not like the sport. Then I heard the speech and it changed something in me. When i decided to play a little more for myself and think of myself a little bit higher, I not only started to improve, but I also started having more fun with the sport.
Follow ego no fear
You dropped a hell of a bomb at 0:45
Lol that feels like years ago now, crazy how you stop caring after a while
i only really have an ego in football. anything else im sorta just a loser. i wanna change that but tbh idrk how. i tell myself to have an ego but i know that just telling myself wont do anything and that i need to change my actions but idek what i need to change
i think that too
I hate being sidelined. I need ego. I need hunger constantly
This reminds me how Food Wars - Shokugeki no Soma expressed the same theme
by expressing two characters. Soma and Megumi
Soma was arrogant, he was focused on his goal and didn't see that much whats around him. He never for a second thought about crashing dreams of others.
However, his arrogance gave him huge confidence, concentration and creativity all skills necessary to succeed.
Megumi was always nice to others. Trying very hard to not offend others. However all of that made her timid as a result she had too many doubts and extra thoughts. Because of that she had very low concentration, and stress made her fail many times. Even though she worked hard, it was more of effortless self-torture that didn't lead anything as she lacked confidence was too low, because she didn't put her ego in it
Over time she managed to develop her ego, so that she could survive in academy
Mayumi was basically same as Megumi. Except due to never developing her ego she completely went into shadow. She never managed to tell Soma her feelings for him, and he forgot about her.
I've never seen the show, but that does sound very similar to what I spoke about in Blue Lock, a degree of ego is honestly essential
Fucking beautiful!
Cheers 🗿
ego is just like another adjective, people associate it with negativity for some reason. we’re quite opposite since I, and other people around me, believe that i can pull off crazy things yet i never have good enough motivation to do any of it. I don’t like being average tho so maybe one day i’ll enter my blue lock arc
Well you'll reach 30k.. I subbed too.. keep on content like this..
Cheers bro :)
@@LessonsFromAnime But I still think you have to aim for Barou level Ego to reach at least Isagi level one bro...XD
I feel like in a few seasons Isagi is gonna have a Barou level ego lol
@@LessonsFromAnime To survive Blue Lock, he's gonna need an even big one...XD
Fr, Rin and Nagi are just such well-rounded monsters, unless he improves his physical abilities he's never gonna top those two
naw this changed my life fr
i am 50/50 i do what my ego wants me to be... a bully(verbally) or to look down on everybody else. Because thats what gives me joy in school and no one will pick a fight on me because they are afraid. But I do sometimes act for others who will just take it for granted i dont know why so I act more selfishly. Lying to my friends that I dont have money when we eat in mall. But I find more fun is taking revenge without my enemy knowing it feels so good. I sometimes do prank to my classmates without them knowing example of this is when i have tic tac and i go to toilet and i do crazy things by first putting each bean in my nose i will then spit on it and then lastly piss on it and wait for it to dry and put them back to the container and give to my classmates.
Bruh when i start playing football with my ego i ended up shooting the ball to my friends nuts
Lmao
RAAAAAAAAAH good video
Got my sub
Cheers man!
@LessonsFromAnime I hope to keep watching you in the future with content based on lessons learned from anime or who knows you might span out to other stuff- I'm here for it
Yeah if copyright ends up hitting me too hard I might look to just talk to the camera, we'll see
Everyone should strive to be like barou
I actually have a video on that haha
please make more videos about blue lock and class of superiority
Definitely got some more Blue Lock ones coming up, but i've not heard of class of superiority?
tatake bro!!
I intend to 🗿
709th sub ❤
Subbed
Hell yeah bro 💪
Dunno. my biggest problem is that I have no friends outside of my relatives, so... while it didn't make me more of a shut-in nerd, blue lock was never and is never gonna be much more than an exciting popcorn manga to me.
I HAD THR EXACT SAME REALIZATION 😭
alright bros time for this boy to stop being hard stuck silver and to hit immortal 3
Late comment but watching Barou go through despair and doubling down on himself made me turn it all around. It isn’t me that is wrong it’s everything around me. That’s why I hate everyone’s opinion that doesn’t make sense. It’s because it doesn’t make sense it doesn’t apply to me. I am right and I need to take my path, MY WAY. Blue Lock literally changed my life. It’s fucking insane to say that.
I love the way Blue Lock has given me "permission" to be very slightly selfish, such a good show
Make videos abt Ayanokoji and Yuiichi bro
Abt their mentality and how Ayanokoji succeeds
I've not seen that anime before haha, will have to check it out sometime
I would love to see Chigiri getting injured again. As much as i love the "better die trying than to not trying" trope it isn't as simple as that. Our body are still human and can break. Realistically if a player like chigiri started to play again at 100% all the time, he would get a injury down the line. And that can mean the end of his carrer. Once that happens how do you navigate through that? Finally accept the bittersweet truth that you will never be able to reach it? but, hey, at least you tried. Or keep dragging yourself to the field while you have no chance to ever run decent again. Or do you just choose to change your goal and start pursuing something else? This a question i would like to see some perspective on.
