The most unrealistic part is how isagi spends like 15 minutes taking apart and putting a puzzle back together
this isn't wrong soooooooooo yeah
@@Litchi_is_bored this isagi spending minutes to solve puzzles gets pretty repetitive in manga and it gets horing
@@NimrodPepega hard disagree
@@AgentSephiroth maybe it wasn't for you but it was for me 😞
And the fact that every other character comes apart in puzzle pieces and gets put back together
Most of the things the players do in blue lock isn’t unrealistic the moves just have effects on it to look cool
I mean yeah but it’s not blue lock without completely unnecessarily unrealistic shmoovements
Their actually pretty bad at football to
@@69bigzoo they aren’t pretty bad they’re U20 players so they aren’t gonna be as good as world class players like Mbappe and Haaland
@@Chi-bs4bb They're pretty bad and the mentality does not work in real life
No, some of the moves are unrealistic specially in the manga, yes the moves are real but you're more likely gonna see it in a freestyle tournament rather than an actual football match. Not to mention the non existent defensive strategies. All they do is attack, attack, and attack, the defense are helpless 90% of the time which is totally unrealistic.
as a manga reader i can guarantee you that you wont regret watching blue lock...
get life cuz man your old
I Regret reading it i'm taking it back to the store
@Flamirbe
Bro what?
The manga was amazing asf u dont get why people dislike it in fact i liked it better then haiyku
@@coolguy2058 Personally I like Blue Lock and Haikyu equally which is a big deal since Haikyu seemed virtually untouchable for the longest time.
Blue lock animation was a dissapointment compared to the manga
I love how in Blue Lock everyone is OP until Isagi pulls out his puzzle
nah even then like against rin for example he still lost
@@matthewmadjeheyou sure?
He can still lose it's just someone who isn't scared of changing and has a soccer mind is obviously better than someone scared of changing and a less good of a soccer mind
@@matthewmadjehe read the manga
Once you realize the show is trying to answer the question "what makes a good competitor?" It gets 1000x better. All the characters and plot points are centered around answering this question
Blue Lock is an anime that teaches you to win. The deep thought into this is usable for every area in your life be it sport or any other career. Most people rely on luck they get result but can rarely do it again. Its about finding your own formula to get the results you want over and over again and not only improving it but also adding more winning formulas in your arsenal and incorporating them into your being to the point that you do it without thinking, your subconscious just do it.
every anime does that lol even ao ashi does it better.
@@stevtacular3855 Hell, even Hajime no ippo (great anime, highly underrated), Haikyuu, Kuroko no Basket, Germ freak Aoyama, and many others give this lesson too.
It doesn’t teach you how to win it teaches you how to be selfish jerk that will never competes in top europe league
@@everythingsfine1395 It also teaches you how to be an attention seeker 💀
@@t1mingisnecessary kuroko no basket goat
Great review! To answer your question: If someone fails at Blue Lock, it's not that they aren't allowed to play soccer again. It's just that they're banned from ever playing for Japan internationally. Basically what Ego is saying is that they can still play the little leagues and have jolly good generic sports anime times at nationals or inter-high or whatever but they'll never get any further.
i mean, thats not even that much of a restriction further. its just saying not for japan. countries have their own national leagues, such as the EPL. and you could absolutely get scouted for these teams, and make a killing in the sport. all ego is saying is saying is that 'we want the best one here on the national team, if you arent the best, go somewhere else.'
they just cant play for japan the can play for big pro clubs if they are good enough or the can play for their second country
@@itsrrraven Really missed out on saying "if you aren't the best, LOCK OFF"
Many of the blue Lock Players will literally Go Pro, that was Egos plan...
They can move further like playing in a league in Europe like Mitoma or Minamino
5:15 "I have this monster living inside me.. And I cant control it.." GOT ME DYING
Same😂😂😂
Same
if people think "i have a monster inside me" is unrealistic, then they clearly need to do some research on schizophrenia... XD
@@ARMYALEX1869 I didn't mean to offend anyone. If I did then I'm extremely sorry, but I wasn't saying it was unrealistic. I was just emphasizing my perspective on how the voice actor of bachira said those lines. No hate to the VA. I just thought it was funny and it really made me laugh and made my day, so I just wrote what I felt. Again, I DEEPLY apologize if i offended ANYONE with schizophrenia.
@@OsamuDazai-fx1lt dont worry ur good im just using ur comment section as a platform to point out something
I used to play soccer when I was in high school as a winger so I find Blue Lock kinda relatable in terms of the "vibe" you get while on the pitch. Of course a lot of the action is exaggerated to make it look cool but the portrayal of the spirit of competitiveness isn't too far off honestly. I'm usually a really reserved and chill type of guy but I always get really competitive when I play for some reason and what Karu said at 5:24 - 5:40 is spot on.
yo that's fuckin sick i've always wanted to play soccer competitively but never got the proper training for it lmao
@@karu oh nah i was really only playing during the yearly sports festival but our team regularly played with other teams in our school. im with you with wanting to have actually played competitively though
For me it's the same thing with most sports anime, it's a representation of how it feels like to play the sport.
Same with Baseball and just recently volleyball.
football
Great video! This is exactly how I would describe Blue Lock. Instead of a sports anime, it's a battle shonen story that happens to have sports in it. I understand a lot of football players' biggest complaint about the series is that it only tackles the roles of strikers and there is a lack of "real" football games but as a manga reader I promise Blue Lock will eventually explore other roles and more realistic games will be played.
later on in the Manga the other roles will get more attention I would say
hey, werent you the gal that made the design tierlist?
I watch all of your shorts on Blue Lock!!!
hey I've seen your videos
I was literally just watching your videos a few hours ago 🤯
If you don't realize that the whole EGOTISM and getting the BEST SINGLE PLAYER out of Blue Lock is just a vail. Every episode adds another aspect of playing soccer as a team. Blue Lock is a system to create the best 11 man roster Japan possibly can by pushing them all further than they would have been otherwise.
An 11 man roster of only strikers… your goalie is a striker. Your defenders are strikers. Your midfielders are strikers. That is going to be a shit team.
i really enjoy the plot of blue lock and the main topic of egoism. but as an athlete myself i really tend to think of it as blue lock focuses on the individuality of an athlete when they're in a game. how you're always wanting to win and if you're really passionate about it, you'll pretty much do anything to win. i also like to think that it focuses on the mentality of the said athlete as a lot of the characters in blue lock have a certain goal and drive on why they play soccer and why they want to win. and as the manga is ongoing it really showed a lot of rivalry between current and former teammates, as well as how well one person deals with a certain kind of setting compared to someone else also in the same setting.
I havent watched the anime yet but i am reading the manga and i have caught up to Ao Ashi too and they are like the complete opposites of each other, Blue Lock is about becoming an egoistic player that the team should revolve around and Ao Ashi is about an egoistic player becoming a team player, the only similarity is that both protagonists have "field vision" as their special ability but they are fundamentally opposing concepts, also Ao Ashi explains more soccer strategy than blue lock for the obvious reason that Ao Ashi treats football as a team sport and builds the concepts from the ground up so you learn along with Ashi, its great to understand football at a high level since Blue Lock doesnt really stop to teach you strats, they just do them
watching both rn and I agree sm
Yes, blue lock is anime, but Ao Ashi is sports anime.
@@simplyrohith2163 they’re both technically Sports centred tho, even the same Sport at that
But Blue Lock teaches you about mentality that a lot of people, especially outside of the pitch are missing about
Ngl although i thought that abt Ao Ashi at first, its more just centered on Ashito's rapid development. More teaching you about perseverance than team work.
i started reading blue lock when the anime adaption was announced around late summer last year because one of my favorite voice actor was casted as one of the characters. when i started reading it, i realized blue lock wasnt really about sports but like ego said, its about your OWN ego, your selfishness, being narcissist, ambition for yourself., not talent, but hard work. yk almost every shounen manga is about like "i have the power of my friends with me so i can win!" and reading blue lock kinda changed me on how i see that genre. i like that each characters has their own ambition but it doesnt run on others, but on themself. like the part where nagi abandoned reo wasnt really about betrayal, but how reo shouldnt have always relied on someone if he wanted something. he needed himself. its not a good analysis but its how i see blue lock which is why i love the selfishness.
sounds extremely contraproducing a lot of douches went downhill for that kind of mentality
Hey there! Just wanted to say that I think you've made one of the best videos explaining Bluelock. I completely agree with you when you say that the argument about the anime being unrealistic isn't fully justified - the skills used by the players are definitely replicated in real life football. I've made a few videos explaining who the players might be based on which definitely shows their moves are inspired and not pure fantasy. Plus, your comment on CGI was hilarious!
yo thank you! i saw your most recent one too. nagi = zidane would be 🔥
What I would say as i've watched both Bluelock and Ao Ashi:
Bluelock is more of an adrenaline hype kinda anime. where it's like the spirit of playing competitive soccer and to be the best kinda thing because they need to have more ego to become the best striker in the world. even though the actions are exaggerated (although the actions aren't like crazy unrealistic) i think that helps extend the hyped moments, like i've watched it and my heart started racing, even reading the manga made my heart race.
Ao Ashi is more of a soccer with a slice of life anime. where it's got a great plot and stuff like the main character goes through so many life altering moments but it's more like he figures out himself and then also focuses on the people around him, and is finally on the path to become a pro player at hopefully 16 -17. and it also has a slight hint of romance not really expanded on but there is something.
overall i like both of the animes and i don't really have a favorite of either of them they are both really good and I'm happy to have gotten more good sport anime to watch
nagi has hands for feet.
Definitely recommend Ao Ashi if you want a more realistic soccer anime/manga. I do enjoy Blue Lock a lot though. It was my first soccer manga (still ongoing), but then I got into Ao Ashi, and I LOVE it. I didn't know anything about soccer before reading Ao Ashi, because Blue Lock doesn't go into most of that stuff. Ao Ashi goes into ALL of it, which is part of why I love it. Either way, I recommend both manga.
Thanks for the tip!
agreed with most of this exept the 11 people gives them less screentime argument it will go away once more material is released
love to hear it! i can't wait for more episodes to release
I love _BlueLock._ For now, one of my top animes this year so far.
What I like about BlueLock that they dive into the concept of _Egoism_ and the psychology, strategy behind a competitive game. It's very thrilling to watch. I was excited the whole time.
I concur! Blue Lock was the first sports anime that I watched (and im not really into sports, much less soccer) but it was very exhilarating, as much as other shounen animes that i watched
Absolutely agree. 🙂@@SnowMoonstone
in the nagi manga, both him and reo said this is like squid game lol
As a member of the anime and football community, I was HYPED when I heard this come out. When I saw isagi’s first goal that was hard bro
yea the goal was giving me goosebumps
Blue Lock is peak sports manga
👀
Then you honestly didnt read many
@@pardhav_teja or maybe he just loves football like i do, it's definitely peak for me idk about you , I've read many.
@@Pant10 or maybe you just watch highlights. Blue lock definitely doesn't dwell deep into the sport unlike ao ashi.
Nothing wrong with watching only highlights btw
@@Pant10 it is meh. Read more
I finally watch Blue Lock after sometimes and let me tell you.Its batshit insane and intense af.Even after Isagi manage to win he still have to face powerfull opponents that challenges his strategy,mindset and how he score goals and i freaking love it.The stakes is always high and even if it got lower after time it just rise back.I feel anxious when Isagi and his teams bout to lose their dreams and i was literally on the edge of my seat.Overall I freaking enjoyed it 10/10 but i wish they develop more character later on
Great video and interesting analysis. I recommend you reading the manga because it works on some of the things you've mentioned here especially the character screentime part, also the art is crazy
Honestly when I started Blue Lock I expected a normal sports anime but after the first 2 or 3 episodes it changed my hole perspective to soccer. And after finishing the season I created my own scoring formula and became a better player overall. I learned that if you want to be the best you have to know how to score a goal in every possible situation with a scoring formula and your own personal skills. And most importantly I learn to be an egoist and that helped me a lot. Any way, my number 1 anime.
Man Idk but somehow Blue Lock is an anime that I just enjpy so much, from the concept to the character development. Further more the animation is amazinggg.
I just wanna understand how you guys like this anime. It’s not trash, and it’s really different from the rest… there’s nothing too unrealistic but.. it’s so- not great. The amount of attention is gets is sooo baffling. The amount of cringe hurts me. I’m a very competitive person in sports but Blue Lock exaggerates it to a 100x. Idk there are other sports anime that SHOULD have gotten more attention imo. Maybe I’m just a little underwhelmed ngl
Blue Lock is unique and that’s why we like it. Great video bro 💯
thank you❤️
It's unrealistic, cuz nobody in real life has their eyes burn with a blue flame every time they're overthinking about kicking a ball.
those are effects to make their aura have visual representation :/
@@kenken_appl r/whoosh
and you have time to speak with your opponent during a goal
no cap i actually had this happen multiple times but it was grey instead, literally tapped into my own realm just like the anime
The manga is so good. I absolutely love the art style.
Love the video fr, and I'm living for your memes HAHA omg, great job 👏🔥
It's not, "You're not allowed to play soccer/football again" but "You're not allowed to join Japan's National Team" those are two different things.
Great video though!
So far, it seems like Ego will be choosing people who are undergoing training in Blue Lock as a part of the National Team, bench players included. There can only be 1 striker, hence his words early on about there only being one player who could be the Striker.
oh i didn't even think about it like that. i thought it was just one guy all the way
It could be interpreted like that too, yeah. After all, all of them wanted to be the Striker but there can only be one. So many of them will be forwards and defenders.
@@Sei003 they can still play in the japanese professional league. they just cant play for the world cup. its not that bad i guess? they can still make a living out of the sport that they adore. In the best scenario, they can join another country's team instead which is very common in FIFA
@@ftu2021 Exactly. Probably gonna happen to Kira if the author ever decides to still add him in the story some way or another 🤣
@@Sei003 i swear, alot of people are thinking the same way. Kira feels way too important to be someone that you introduce in Chap1 like protagonist just gets deleted from the manga with no mentions. I mean this theory can really work since Kira was not present/mentioned during the U20 game. Maybe Kira already left japan to play for another country and tryout for their U18, he was already invited by the japanese U18 team as mentioned in chap1. And this is from the side story featuring Nagi and Reo where Reo was like all fan girl when he saw Kira at bluelock. This confirms that Kira is already a well known upcoming japanese star in the bluelock verse. We can also assume that Kira was ranked highest during the Tag game since we all know Bachira is the best in team Z, Bachira only wanted to go after the strongest in the room indicates Kira's level.
I hope that Kira will be the final antagonist.
Literally I was so in love with the anime that after the 13th episode I had to read the manga and literally is so amazing. And he and every panel looked so intense literally I was so curious I read over 70 chapters in just a few days
blue lock made me remember all of the fun i had when i used to play football in 2016-2017 even so the team was ended from lack of members
i only discovered ep 1 of blue lock when it was just released because when i was visiting my little cousins house, he was watching it on animax, learning that they posted new eps every sunday ( used to ) and then went back home. waited for new eps on netflix and i dont regret it lmao
Man ur entertaining instantly subbed keeping uploading more
Title: blue lock is not a sports anime
First thing in video : blue lock is a sports anime
Wtf 💀
so sports are shit???
This anime is going to be hella sick. Manga readers know
Dude deserves more likes and subs great vedio xD
I just found your channel and everything is great, especially your voice-overs.
I don't care about the people who say it's childish and unrealistic because tbh this anime is a killer and if you have read the manga then you should how good it's potential and hype will be.
Something interestin about blue lock is that it represents in a totally accurate manner football culture in Brasil,
this is how Brasilian kids play football, everyone fighting to be the big dog, sharpening their individual skills, creating trick shots, trick dribles, they started it as kids, went into professional playing like this, and thinking like this
and then they are hired in an european team and get trucidated, barely can do a play that worth, because european teams are really fond of efficient team play
this has been my favorite manga since like 2019, i have been so excited and the anime is just so good, they did loose a little bit in the animation but thats normal. the originality of the manga is jjust so RAAAAAH i wish i could read it for the first time again.
Bro this youtuber deserves more subs than he has!!! LIKE FR!!!
Blue lock is a battle shonen that has football in it.
Ao ashi is an actual football anime that is leagues above blue lock
Is the manga or anime for ao ashi better?
@@sunflowersamurai10 manga
im not a football fan but i absolutely loveee bluelock. ive been rereading the manga for like 3x
dude you don't need 2860 thousand subscriber. you need more then that your video is GREAT
Bro I was bursting when ichigo said my balls are itching😂😂😂
Ok picture this:
You are having a really good day,
Lying on the bed,
Smiling while watching this video because you like both anime and football,
And then 0:41
I literally dropped my phone from my hand. 😢
i feel u brother
0:50
300 of the top *high school* forwards, actually. They didn't all play the striker position before coming to Blue Lock, but they are all forwards.
And Isagi is 17. He's not a middle schooler. Also, the losers aren't barred from professional football for the rest of their lives. They're just blacklisted from the Japanese National Team.
Manga spoilers ahead btw
It's actually the Top 23 players who will be chosen to represent the U20 National Team, not one. Jinpachi is made coach of the national team after the Blue Lock Eleven's win over Japan's U20 squad. Now there are like six members of the U20 team participating in the Blue Lock Project for a chance to get their positions back.
Blue lock has caused me to change how I challenge myself in the gym and changed my mindset when I play rocket league and even fps, it have lessons that can learnt if you let yourself be taught
Blue locks fundamental i struggle with cause at the end of the day you even our MC has to pass the ball and let someone else score to win sometimes. But the way it tackles developing skills, knowledge, strategy, even luck is all spot on and comparable to real life.
As a football fan who's never watched anime before the first few episodes of this show was just so hilarious to me😂. Like how does Nagi play like prime Dennis Bergkamp but isn't even in J League.
Over time I just find it so dumb that it's brilliant! I'm definitely starting to love it lol.
definitely a form of therapy
maybe he isnt interested in Football or something and maybe he lacks some other skills
As someone who plays soccer and is a defender, this anime was so good to watch I'm excited for new episodes
Sport anime using generic plot : wow,so good
Sport anime using a unique plot : childish,cringe
They just hate hype anime and prefer generic one and that is why isekai still popular till now
blue lock completely changed my outlook on competitions in general
be number 1 no matter what it takes use your team for your personal gain be the main character of your own life if you're at the bottom your as good as dead
like Rin said the pitch isn't just a place where you play a game its a battlefield and losing means death
Blue lock is great and was the first anime to get me to go read ahead in the manga just because it's just hype and I want to know what happens next unlike most of my favorite anime it's not deep i described it to my friends as if a edgy 13 year old who failed his high school soccer try outs wrote a manga but it's just fun ya it's over exadurated play and the dialog is edgy but that's what makes it enjoyable and even then the idea of in sports believing your the best to be the best and using your teammates as a way to improve yourself still slightly holds true during a race or even durring a work out if I see one of my teammates head of me I'm not going to let them stay ahead of me like anyone eles I'll stick to them like glue and pass them when I get a chance and expect them to do the same
Blue Lock is the copium for Japanese sports fans asking for their athletes to have that aggression and selfishness needed to do the inevitable and just step on a few toes on their way to the top.
The moment where naruhaya lost i was crying as hell. It was one of the most emotional scenes ever.
Damnnn, the ending part of the video was sick, explained well and is just (orgasms) anyways good video
Blue lock is pure hype Anime
You convinced me I’m watching it now
enjoy my friend
It’s more about character development adaptability and knowing what people do to become the best , well these are the key things I’ve taken so far
does someone know what is the name of the font of the text in the thumbnail?
don't you think blue lock kinda goes against it's idea when it makes a team of just strikers, where most of the team is off-position , meaning they can't grow to their potential?
great video btw
It's a shift but not necessarily going against the premise. I'd argue that it becomes a bit more realistic as it goes on. With each new selection the level of talent rises greatly and rises to the point where it makes little sense to eliminate those people. A number of those players who are played off-position also end up realizing that they can go farther by switching away from being a striker. It's a way to still create the best striker while not preventing other talents from going to waste by just cutting them.
first time watching a sport anime, and its moments are so hype I look forward to it more than My Hero and sometimes even chainsaw man (Ps: I've read all of chainsawman so some moments I just didn't care for as much.)
19 episodes in through the anime and this is HYPE! Every week at 5 pm I go to my room and watch the new episode that's been released. Although haikyuu has my heart blue lock has shown me something different then haikyuu
as a manga reader i can confirm some of the characters in the anime who seem like they have been ignored get a decent screen time in the manga.
Wait only 2.8k, Your videos are very clean, I subscribe
❤️
Spoiler (no elimination spoiler):
I gotta tell you, you have to read the manga because some of the things you say could be debated, like the characters that are undeveloped. only about 2-3 on the team actually don't really get developed in the manga but they have some kind of backstory is not like they are just there some of the characters which you might think are "useless" or "background characters become really important in the anime . And secondly in the manga they stopped doing the "squid game only one wins" therefore not everyone is getting eliminated meaning that everyone has an equal chance of being the best, there is no "end" goal after a certain plot which I will not spoil. There are also a lot of people saying "oh im not gonna watch it because is just like squid game and ik the main character will win" well you are incorrect you should definitely give the manga a try because the plot is not as cliché as you might think and secondly because the anime is only about half of the manga adapted into the 24 episodes (it still isn't the whole story in the anime so you will have to wait till season 2)
There technically still IS and end goal its just different from its original end goal bc of a certain event
Its not so good
@@oofink467 yeah ig there is an end goal but the end goal won't be just ONE being at the top there will always be rivalry and not just only one of them being the best which was my point
Also I watched the anime way after reading the Manga for perspectives the anime stopped between Chapter 40-50 which is not even half more like 1/4 of the Mangas current chapter being over chapter 200 as of this comment. I think the anime seems to have a good grasp of balance between what to leave out and what to keep in, depending on if season 1 will be a 24 ep or not also changes this but so far its pretty good.
Honestly i love blue lock to begin with and hopefully it stays that way and also the things i kinda hate is the pacing its a just a tiny bit too slow like atleast make matches like every episode not every 2-3 eps. but i changed the way on how i loved haikyu before but i guess its not anymore XD and the problems too are over exaggeration like how isagi kicked the ball in the goal and it sounded like a shotgun being fired but Overall W shounen, Sports anime would leave a mark on how it impacted on my soccer addiction now!
as a manga reader, i feel anime is a little bit too fast on the pacing tho
There's gonna be one match like after 6 months that is gonna be like 15 ep's long but worth every week
in my opinion the anime pacing is a bit too fast
One episode per match is overly fast and wouldn't be enough time to portray different phases of a plot-important game. Even 2-3 episodes is pretty brisk and is a good pace for early matches, but not for finale. Maybe you feel it's slow because you lose interest in some parts of a match?
To follow up on my previous comment, I do understand why you'd feel that things are a tiny bit too slow. For me, I feel a loss of "momentum" when they talk to each other a lot while the ball is supposed to be in play, which I don't feel while reading the manga because I can read the speech bubbles in an instant. I'm not faulting the anime for this, it's just a challenge of adapting to a different medium
Keep doing blue lock vids.
me when i hear karu say "soccer"
my brain: *explodes*
The reason why blue lock is based on egoism isn’t just because the author wanted to be different. Kaneshiro just thinks that selfish people get everything they want. U can find that view of his in Jagaaaaaan too (one of kaneshiro’s mangas)
I am SO excited for the arc beyond 2nd selection. That's all I'll say.
when u said its hype... i just remembered how FKN HYPED I WAS WHEN I WATCHED THE 363 bleach episode. i was literally feeling such a BOMB of hype and excitement i cried and smiled at the same time...
4:56 Thats exactly how isagi scored in one of the matches
People trying to make this anime look realistic, no it has nothing to do with the actual sports , people dribbling trough whole defense and scores just few people could do that and not in everything game , messi the god of dribbling did it very few times ,
The tactics have no impact in bluelock while in football it’s tactics are 80%,90% of the modern game , teamwork is not just necessary but football can’t be football without it , actually the team with the most collective game wins over the strongest team , Argentina world champions is a great example . B.L is B.S that doesn’t show/have even the basics of the clubs , and just focuses on the hype of characters and shonen identity instead of football. And actually is you guys (B.L) fans that don’t have Arguments that backs this trashed plot , specially when it comes to ego
waiting...
Japan nation team already has good team work though.....they need good striker to score....see penalty kicks for this year world cup when they lost
@@ShadowMistNinja
They had a striker , and scored , they were outsmarted by Croatia, because Croatia played with its old strategy, keep it draw till penalties. They actually beat brazil with the same strategy. So instead of striker they a better goal keeper
In the manga blue lock becomes a soccer where tactics are used in a way that blows ur mind
FACTS, irl teams are systems>player individuality, to the point where flair is being coached out of the game to maintain max efficiency with possesion of the ball. Yet another reason why football animanga are mostly trash.
Although Blue Lock takes the concepts of "self-perservation/selfishness" to the extreme (on a surface level), the real message of the show is to find and develop your own ego. I think a lot of people confuse Blue Lock's idea of being "egoistic" with being "egotistic". They are two different things:
- "Egoistic" is about putting your own needs and interests before those of others.
- "Egotistic" is about having an exagerrated sense of self-importance (in a narcissistic/delusional way).
Again, Blue Lock revolves the idea of being "EGOISTIC".
"Humility" & "ego/boldness" are like Yin & Yang. You need to have a balance of both. The reason it needs to be said in modern day that we need to develop our egos is because modern soceity (not just Japan's) has become too hung up on the humility/modesty side of things. While it's not inherently wrong, we have become too obsessed with being "virtuous" and "self-less", and have been, almost completely, demonizing the idea of the ego and following our desires.
Blue Lock is basically teaching us this (but in an exagerrated way for entertainment of course).
It's all set up in the first episode. Isagi has the chance to take a shot at the goal, but he reflexively passes to his teammate because it's just the expected thing to do; but then they lost. If you're not giving your own self every opportunity to succeed, it doesn't count as being genuinely considerate, because you're not considering your own potential. That's a theme that's _way_ deeper than just being about sportsball. Blue Lock speaks to the depths of the human experience. I'm glad to watched it this far, and look forward to a next season.
The show is stil going on, it is at episode 15 now, the hype is still real.
the title "bluelock is not a sports anime"
the intro "BLUELOCK IS THE NEWEST SPORTS ANIME!"
I am pretty sure it's not that you can NEVER play soccer if you fail BlueLock but more that you can never play for the Japanese National Team and I suppose not go pro either. But let's be honest here, the majority of these players were never going to go pro or play for Japan. So the stakes for losing aren't as high as it would first appear in the grand scheme of things. But I think that's what's great about the anime. Objectively, the stakes for losing isn't high but for the characters in the moment, it means everything!
Agreed, plus failing in BlueLock feels harsher to the character because they are suddenly forced to face the reality that they were never good enough to make it to the National Team when so many others in Blue Lock are better than them. Without Blue Lock they could have carried on naively thinking "if I work hard I'll make it, I just need to win more games, be on a better team, and get noticed"
"So the stakes for losing aren't as high"
I completely disagree. They're the best 300 players in Japan for a reason. With a skill this good, do you really think they would settle with a high school or college team or maybe a mid-level league? They obviously want to keep striving for the top and climb as high as possible, with the peak being playing for Japan. Just look at Hinata from Haikyuu for example. In the beginning he wants to become like Little Giant, his idol from Karasuno high school. And look where he is now post graduation.
there’s 24 episodes not 12, 11 just have yet to be released
12+11=23 where brain
@@drifter2391 13 episodes are released so far, 13+11=24, so where's your brain?
its actually 24 episodes, they took a 2 week break after the 12th
We need a second version of this video where you swap soccer with football
Everyone should watch Blue Lock once, becoming an athlete is so fucking hard and you need to stuggle to compete with all kinds of opponents, playing with friends isn't like playing like a pro footballer, the series makes the ideology of becoming the best striker so good
I played basketball, football, golf, and soccer briefly when I was in elementary school, as well as baseball. This show immediately registered with me, if you've never been in the flow state of mind you haven't lived. I was literally voted the MVP in my basketball team then I'd turn around and start gaining muscle and weight to make the football season then absolutely obliterate in that, then go back onto the diet to be ready for basketball season. I remember one time my Vic coach was playing a practice game and we actually pushed him into that flow state and he was going crazy on us. Dude literally jumped out of bounds grabbed the ball midair and flung it back in bounds to keep the game going. The only downside to that was the new guy wasn't prepared for it and got smacked in the face with a basketball at full force, dude was bleeding all over the court with a busted lip. But even then I remembered I was playing at the boys & girls club and I tripped on my laces and literally smacked the floor face first and immediately got up with what felt like a single movement and still made a 3 pointer, when you're that focused pain doesn't exist your only goal is to score at all costs. Hell I had the other teams family members come up to me after I just got done kicking their son or little brothers ass and tell me how amazing I was. This anime brought that feeling back to me while watching it especially when the MC just walked through all the players he just defeated. Even in football when I was still playing flag my coach told me he'd get me a full size bag of chips for each flag I got. I literally dove through the line and got trampled by cleats, but I still got the flag and the chips. Like my father got mad at me because my team won the championship and he was waiting for us to lose so he wouldn't have to be there all day long.
Love it. I just finished reading the manga
As a german, I am still a bit pissed that we were out this fast... but nice video :)
Its a battle royale where the protagonist is the first one to rush in and fully embrace the setiing
just waiting for a sick hockey anime, theres so much effin potential
Blue lock is easily one of my fav anime’s rn, out of all the sports anime’s it definitely takes the Cake for me atleast
i can feel the monster coming inside me from watching bluelock i will win i will become the soccer king
yea bro the pressure when you are near the goal about to score or if you are the goalkeeper/ defender and the striker with the ball is coming towards you even if it is only mere 2-3 seconds the shit feels insane like bro. So what ever karu said at 5:24 is accurate and feels like he is speaking from experience and the part where it isn't necessarily supposed to be a physical sports but it is less likely to happen in a esport as people normally don't take it that seriously unless for example you are playing competitive mode in valorant where your rank is at stake similarly in bluelock those players' career is at stake because if the are the best 300 strikers of japan then it is undeniable that they are looking to create a living for themselves through football or soccer
The toughest thing Blue Lock teaches you compared to other anime is how to create your own formula of success, wether it be in a sport or any other category that requires skill.
W video Subscribing rn
i’m just watching this thinking “is that ichigo over there?”
As someone who played 🏈 I wanted to be the best on my team the person who carried the team to victory I mean which athlete wouldn't want to be the reason their team won a game it's and extremely overwhelming sensation so for the concept of being the best in blue lock it hits close to home for me and that's why I enjoy it.
Ego explains flow state later in blue lock❤
What is the name of the other soccer anime you recomended?
im reading the manga bc i got attached to the characters (as usual) and honestly im still having fun so yeah
