But it honestly should be that way…..Shidou is an original and Kunigami is just a copy by now. I wouldn’t like it if sonething great like Shidou being discarded for someone who really wasn’t good enough in the first place.
I think if Kunigami devoted himself to improving his spatial awareness and just field IQ, he’d be a perfect CDM if you want an aggressive long range shooter in formation. Shido’s dribbling and defense are underrated. When Aiku had a 0% chance of stopping flow Rin, Shido’s arrival in that moment made it a 50/50. He read Reo & Kunigami’s entire football package on 1st engagement. Otoya was able to stop his dribble bc he’s just as fast as Shido and his IQ was sharp enough to stop Rin from doing what he wanted to do. Shido’s also willing to pass a bit, we’ve seen him work up the field with Sendo before and he definitely loves a nice pass lol
@@gimmepenalty do you know what a destroyer dmf is? Responsible for breaking up plays and pressuring attack routes before the opposition advance toward the defensive line. Exactly what he did vs Bachira he just happens to have a cannon 🦵💥
I also do think kunigami is holding back due to the fact that he doesn’t want all of his skills to be shown. Since I’m pretty sure they can see there matches
Kunigami was my favorite character in the first selection, im expecting big things from him against pxg. I think he could possibly be awaken and will end up being man(hero) of the match. I still dont know how kaiser will affect the match, but isagi probably wont be a good scoring option for awhile with rin and kaiser both wanting to crush him. This will give kunigami chances and hiori will probably help him, maybe kiora gin aswell. I can also see kunigami devouring tokimitsu and taking something that will help him against shidou.
If Rin is anything to go off then Shidou will probably have a huge evolution as well…..and let’s be honest everyone liked Kunigami, myself included, but should a copy of something that already exists really beat something that’s original? Would be sad in my opinion if someone with clearly more talent would be discarded just to give us a mediocre comeback because let’s be realistic here Kunigami would be benched going forward into the world cup anyway.
@@devourer_of_skills i think current rin is much better than shidou. in order for shidou to have a crazy evolution he needs to be pushed first. And after losing to rin all nel, and kunigami getting his revenge, shidou would likely awaken. Kunigami will obviously awaken aswell. He wont just be a copy of noel noa for the rest of the series. Either way shidou has been on the back burner, him beating kunigami wouldn’t prove anything cuz hed still be worse than rin isagi and kaiser. He needs an awakening to catch up and kunigami is the perfect person to force him to awaken. And ur crazy if u think kunigami will be benched, hes top 5 in bids rn and we haven’t even seen what he can really do. He literally been playing all alone throughout the nel, he obviously will work with others during the pxg match especially with hioris change in mindset. Dont be surprised when he pops off
@@n3onnova564 There are at max 4 positions for attackers on a team and would you really place Kunigami in there before Rin, Isagi, Barou, Chigiri, Bachira (and maybe Shidou if he evolves) because you have to consider not everyone can play striker but they also need AMF or Wingers and Kunigami really isn’t even second option in any positions as of now and I really don’t think he will Surpass Rin, Barou and Isagi and he also doesn’t have the qualities to play winger or AMF so it’s actually realistic thinking that he would only have a joker role coming from the bench at best. That’s just how it is in football.
@@devourer_of_skills kunigami could def be in there, if anything barou might still be the joker. And in the u20 match blue lock ran a 4-5-2 that switched to 3-6-1 on offense. Kunigami can def fit in there somewhere. With his physicality he could be good in the mid field where he can potentially get some stops and then have chances to score aswell. He just needs to learn to use his physicality more which like i said i think he’ll devour from tokimitsu. It all really depends on what happens vs pxg. The top 5 in bid will likely be up front and kunigami rn is top 5 unless shidou pops off against Barca he might not even catch up.
@@n3onnova564 Kunigami to me is in a weird place because as a striker he is ok but not game deciding good and apart from physical blocks he has no quality you would want in midfield or as a defender.

Great video as always, mate. However, I think a deeper conversation beyond stats and skills should be held when comparing players' abilities. This is especially true when we're talking about manga whose entire premise is about ego (which, in simple terms, I'd narrow down to self-perception or protagonism) being the key determinant of performance. In BL, it seems that skills and evolutions/awakenings are gained more from insight and changes in egoism just training, so that should be taken into account as well. With that in mind, when comparing players, I'd say skills and stats, whilst very important, a deeper comparison would also look at translation and replicability of said stats and skills on the pitch (which is consistency), and, we've seen that ego is what governs consistency because it is what governs a player's usage of skills. For example, most of Isagi's technical skills dont really stand out, but they're made way more dangerous because of how they're used. Do you remember how Kira* (that U19 player) lost in that tag match despite being most skillful player in the Z strata? So for me, Ego + Skills + Consistency = Overall Ability. That being said, I think Shidou is better than Kunigami. In fact, I think Kunigami is the lesser version of Shidou. Both have self-sufficient playstyles where they can get goals by themselves, both are penalty box strikers, both rely (almost obsessively on their instincts and physical abilities than their minds), both have very distinct and difficult to stop shots. Both their other plays are average, if not mediocre, but their ability in the box is INSANE. The main difference, however, I'd say, it's the depth/types of their egos/protagonisms. Whilst they both are goal-obsessed and seek a way of individual dominance through their own abilities, Shidou is more entitled to passes whilst Kunigami literally tries to make his performances as individualistic as possible. He doesn't care whether or not he receives a pass and will score from literal scraps on the pitch. That side of his ego was present since the 1st Selection (scoring rebounds, shooting from distance etc) but I think it was actually stifled by his "hero protagonism" that made him try and fit himself into other people's ideas (Isagi and Reo). This "hyena hero" ego is an improvement in my opinion because it refines his off the ball movement and spatial awareness (I mean, his offensive sense is already S Tier, so you know he's always ready to pounce on any stray ball). He's almost always around the attacking areas where the ball finally arrives. Shidou's off the ball movement, whilst INSANE (possibly the best in BL), is kinda a double-edged sword. His movement is so insane that he can destroy an opponent team's defensive shape (to put this into context, Isagi mostly waits for "the state of the field to change" or for chaos to exist in order for him to thrive). But it also breaks his team's patterns. So he kinda needs very specific passers to link up with him for him to play at his best (not that he can't get goals by himself). So the difference with Kunigami is that Kunigami proves himself by capitalising on other people's plays (literally getting the end product of other players' ideas) rarely interfering or creating his own plays. Shidou, on the other hand, destroys the entire state of the pitch (literally making the field a blank page) and then instinctively reacts to his team's creativity. Also, I disagree that Kunigami doesn't accept passes. He just hasn't been receiving them. This kinda makes him even more amazing, considering that he only received 3 passes (if we're counting Isagi's bad shot) throughout the NEL. THREE!!!! For a striker, that's 💩 supply, and yet he's managed to get 2 goals and bump up his value to 50m with his other abilities. Worse off, the logical Noa doesn't substitute him because, he's the only one amongst strikers that's rarely interfering with others plays. I also find it quite a compliment when BL's best dribbler leaves his own stratum in hopes of improving by training against you.
@@tanatswamakara4700 ofc lol I would just have him aggressively fire that cannon of a leg whenever lol I feel like he’s trustworthy ~35m out. Or just launch into the opp half-space, Shido will get it fursure 😝
Lmao I just finished it, bet it technically aged well, because he predicts that in order for kunagami to win he needs to play less selfishly and in a way he is doing that by defending and locking down shidou. Even though it is still for himself and not the team.
What I’ve theorized is that Kunigami is trying to forcibly add shidou’s goal scoring reflex to his own style. That volley in the manshine game had shidou esc to it. Also this is just another theory but I think in wildcard Kunigami not only gained physical stats identical to Noel Noa but stole team z fallen members weapons aswell(just a theory). Going back to the shidou take, when they played in 2nd selection Kunigami must have been so traumatized due to his helplessness that all he thinks about in wildcard were shidou’s movements and outrageous shooting angles. If what I just said are all true then this can only mean the birth of a striker who can score in any way on the pitch is upon us. Pxg v BM will confirm this or not😊
@flawedrebxrth5664 I think Kunigami learned Shidou's "instinct" weapon. As traumatic response when he got eliminated he became more raw and instinctive in Wildcard. Thats why in Egoist Four meeting he said he doesn't want a kumbaya reunion cuz he got it from Shidou. Now in NEL he scored that athletic volley and I think his instincts manifested on that play. Only one who can score goals like that is Shidou himself. Kunigami will win bc his protagonism will out-explode Shidou and for first time I think Kunigami will have his true awakening, out-maneuver Shidou and get his getback finally. He's stronger, faster, better in all specs when he's in his state of his True Flow, I think he's gonna outdo Shidou's goal on U20 by scoring a supergoal farther than that
Ya'll know how before the ubers game the egoist 4( kunigami, chigiri, bachira and isagi) trained together and isagi came out off it with one of kunigami 's weapons that being lefty shot, so I don't think that isagi is the only one who walked out learning something new,, all of them did, as we seen chigiri is now the face of manshine so what if kunigami learned better dribbling and spatial awareness from isagi and bachira and I also think that kyora jin will be kunigami's passer against pxg and shidou will also have someone
Maybe spatial awareness but Kunigami is too big for actual dribbling that isn’t a physical charge forward to just waltz through….but Shidou probably will have dribbling because it would fit with his character narrative to awaken against Barcha because that’s the team of creativity and exciting football….and Shidou is all about getting excited from football. And let’s not forget it wouldn’t make much sense for Rin to get an even higher bid with the narrative of the rivalry with Isagi.
@@devourer_of_skills true, but he could have something like barou and his chip dribble and rin is still number 1, he's still gonna have the biggest offer
@@andrejburzanovic6246 I don’t think Kunigami will ever be agile enough but something similar sure is possible and yeah not higher than Rin but 140-160 million wouldn’t be unrealistic if my theory of him making a hattrick becomes true.
@@devourer_of_skills none of them will be dribbler.. and spatial awareness is harder to learn than you think , most are them just gifted with it.. or take long to train to train it.. his also more mental or cognitive ability..
@@mycrooo6841 If even Isagi has half decent dribbling Shidou could definitely have it too and wouldn’t be out of character with his 1v21 game approach before having met Sae. And yes I agree with your take on spatial awareness…..which is one of Shidou’s biggest non physical traits.
Both have very raw talent. Shidou has shown strong kicking capabilities and flexibility when throwing kicks at isagi and rin. However I believe kunigami to scale above that since even back in the tag game kunigami was able to wind isagi with a lefty shot, looking at how strong he is now I believe his kicking power to scale above shidou. Shidou also shows the capability of manhandling someone like sendou, scales about even to rin who has decent overalls but loses to aiku straight up. If we were to take kunigami as the best physical build in the NEL I believe that he can manhandle Shidou no problem and tank his kicks more or less. If they were to go at it within a large area I can see Shidou running away but eventually getting caught whilst trying to counter. If they were within a confined space like an octagon then I’d say kunigami 100%. The weight difference and power difference means kunigami has really threatening ko power on the feat with both of his leg kicks and possibly overhands and dominate the ground game with his superior weight and power. All Shidou has is agility which also goes so far when you don’t have the power to back it up. I believe he got a full swing at rin and only made his nose bleed and that’s poor from him, any sneak attack to the head should at least result in a concussion. Kunigami > Shidou 100%
Am In a Totally Frezy Right Now I Don't know who Would Win Kunigami Is Strong And Shidou is Good at Analysing Player's By Just Looking at them And knows how to Beat there Strongest Weapon like for Kunigami Physics Was Useless Against Him But After he's "Wild Card" Arc Shidou Might have Some Trouble
Maybe the old Shidou but I‘m pretty sure he will get a huge upgrade….wouldn’t make any sense that someone on Rin‘s level pre NEL wouldn’t improve. So without plot honestly no chance in my opinion.
Something I Realise When Reading All The Matches in the NEL Arc Kunigami Has been Scoring with he's Right Foot Only (Other When Isagi Forced Him into Flow In the FC Barcha Game to Score the Winning Goal) And he Told Him Isagi About if he Tries to Be Ambidextrous He's "Strength" will Decrease Being he's Right Leg Direct Shot and Kunigami is only using he's Right So Kunigami Might be Killing he's Own Talent...Am just Saying
@@cooperelt1299this guy s crazy to say, just because he lost dont mean he didn’t have talent. Reo lost with him and we see how good reo is now. Shidou at that time was just a more complete player, hed dominate most players at that time in a 2v2
I have to say your Reo overpowered Shidou take is such an L. As someone who played football as a striker since I was 3 years old I can say there is nothing you can do with strength if a defender positions himself like that behind you without using a one-two-pass to break away and run around the defender…and I think I should know this being 1,90m tall and 83kg heavy with a body trained throughout 19 years of my lifetime xD And let’s be honest I think Shidou‘s dribbling is probably way better than we thought because we never really saw it but I don’t think in the second selection he just won that game or made a goal against the world 5 with just receiving a pass. And I am pretty positive Shidou will awaken against Barcha and make a hattrick of his own because narratively it wouldn’t make sense if Rin‘s bid would rise much more over Isagi’s as it is now and it would also fit Shidou’s character narrative to awaken against the team from the country being advertised with the two attributes of creativity and exciting football which is what he seeks for. Not to forget Sae actually gave him his private number after the U20 game which could be foreshadowing and a hattrick against La Real‘s domestic league arch nemesis Barcha would be a great way to make a case for himself as an less costly alternative to Kaiser as well as giving us a cool narrative of him getting slighty higher value than Isagi so that Isagi can really surpass both symbolically like in the third selection but this time it not being a fluke anymore. Would honestly be a waste by the author if it doesn’t play out like that because it gives the most opportunities to future stories involving the Champions League.
I didn't play football professionally so i wouldn't have known, i went with the narrative because when Niyu did it to Nagi they were commenting on how he overpowered him with his muscle mass and power in that position
@@ACE_Lock it’s not that much about strength because literally pressing yourself against someone in this position limits basically any possible movement apart from going straight forward away from the defender at least one step.
Sry but why does everyone say Shidous dribbling sucks? In the third selection Isagi was amazed at Karasus defense and said something line "He was even able to stop Shidous powerfull dribbling!" while no one ever said the opposite really
Isagi never said such thing, and karasu literally stated shidou is mediocre at dribbling and playmaking.. he excels more at off the ball movement and his athleticism..
@@mycrooo6841 chapter 98 page 2 "Incredible.. He's fast enough to respong to shidos powerfull dribbling" My only mistake it that it didnt refer to Karasu but Otoya blocking shido. And no Karasu never said that about shido but thats close to what he said about Isagi so you are prbly mistaning it with that.
unfortunately for you, kunigam got his position changed to dm and shidou got absolutely shut down and destroyed by kunigami wild card >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> wild stupid demon
@@marceloasensiofilho3833 shidou didn't get 1 pass through in the next 2 chapters too(I haven't read the latest chapters so idk what happens after 3 chapters where shidou is completely shut)
you cant be a "Lone striker" in football, especially when you act like a dickhead infront of everyone. Bayern munich has a problem with disagreements with one another, so you end up with sub groups. Kunigami has 2 playmakers (hioir and isagi) on his team. Had he learnt how to play with his team in order to score, we would see him perform much better. Also your point was good about aryu keeping an eye on kunigami. But deep down, they know that no one would pass to him. They only made sure that he wasn't free, especially if there was a loose ball.
Funny thing that people don’t pay attention to is who was the one to beat shidous team of 3 in the 2nd selection because he was playing in the 2 vs 2’s, I wonder who beat his team?
im pretty sure there is this one player called next messi in blue lock, he is rn in barcha as a sub, so i guess he must be the secret op guy who keeps on messing up these op players without every getting any screentime also mind that according to isagi when he first entered blue lock that messi guy is one of the best players there
Kunigami cooking like if u play soccer youll understand how good a physical all kunigami needs is contact simple and saying shidou already beat bro means nun cause I bet he can’t beat Noel Nao the person kunigami is forged to be like
You can`t say kuni was not accepting passes he was alway looking for a pass and the reason he doesn`t give passes is because he is the damn striker and be for real if isagi actually pass the ball he would just want it back to score because there was many times where kuni would have scored if he got the damn pass but they just want to suck kaiser and isagi am i wrong that man could shot from outside the box.
In my opinion I think shidou could win against Kunigami but if Kungami could win because of his physical stats and etc while shidou is rellay good in the penalty box shooting and best player I might seen
Don’t forget Shidou will have improved as well because I don’t think that Rin will be the only one with a huge upgrade(or even hattrick) going into the last game because Shidou and Rin were basically somewhat equal pre NEL.
@@ACE_Lock I think Kunigami hasn’t said anything to Isagi about ts bc he knows he’s drinking Ego’s koolaid. I’ll bet by the end of the series we view Ego differently than we do now

If what I just said are all true then this can only mean the birth of a striker who can score in any way on the pitch is upon us. Pxg v BM will confirm this or not😊
that's actually a great theory, and makes a lot of sense, holly shit
i love it, Kunigami is trying to play like Shidou and that's why he is failing
@flawedrebxrth5664 I think Kunigami learned Shidou's "instinct" weapon. As traumatic response when he got eliminated he became more raw and instinctive in Wildcard. Thats why in Egoist Four meeting he said he doesn't want a kumbaya reunion cuz he got it from Shidou. Now in NEL he scored that athletic volley and I think his instincts manifested on that play. Only one who can score goals like that is Shidou himself.
Kunigami will win bc his protagonism will out-explode Shidou and for first time I think Kunigami will have his true awakening, out-maneuver Shidou and get his getback finally. He's stronger, faster, better in all specs when he's in his state of his True Flow, I think he's gonna outdo Shidou's goal on U20 by scoring a supergoal farther than that
This Turned into Zlatan Ibrahimovic vs Lukaku.
Kunigami is locking down Shidou rn
I'd be Quiet he scored 1 goal and stole Another meanwhile shidou stole none and scored twice as Manny 💀
Ya'll know how before the ubers game the egoist 4( kunigami, chigiri, bachira and isagi) trained together and isagi came out off it with one of kunigami 's weapons that being lefty shot, so I don't think that isagi is the only one who walked out learning something new,, all of them did, as we seen chigiri is now the face of manshine so what if kunigami learned better dribbling and spatial awareness from isagi and bachira and I also think that kyora jin will be kunigami's passer against pxg and shidou will also have someone
Maybe spatial awareness but Kunigami is too big for actual dribbling that isn’t a physical charge forward to just waltz through….but Shidou probably will have dribbling because it would fit with his character narrative to awaken against Barcha because that’s the team of creativity and exciting football….and Shidou is all about getting excited from football.
And let’s not forget it wouldn’t make much sense for Rin to get an even higher bid with the narrative of the rivalry with Isagi.
@@devourer_of_skills true, but he could have something like barou and his chip dribble and rin is still number 1, he's still gonna have the biggest offer
@@andrejburzanovic6246 I don’t think Kunigami will ever be agile enough but something similar sure is possible and yeah not higher than Rin but 140-160 million wouldn’t be unrealistic if my theory of him making a hattrick becomes true.
@@devourer_of_skills none of them will be dribbler.. and spatial awareness is harder to learn than you think , most are them just gifted with it.. or take long to train to train it.. his also more mental or cognitive ability..
@@mycrooo6841 If even Isagi has half decent dribbling Shidou could definitely have it too and wouldn’t be out of character with his 1v21 game approach before having met Sae.
And yes I agree with your take on spatial awareness…..which is one of Shidou’s biggest non physical traits.
Congratulations On Hitting 2K Subs Ma Boy 😎 3K Subscribers Here we Come 👍
Thank you my G much appreciated
Both have very raw talent. Shidou has shown strong kicking capabilities and flexibility when throwing kicks at isagi and rin. However I believe kunigami to scale above that since even back in the tag game kunigami was able to wind isagi with a lefty shot, looking at how strong he is now I believe his kicking power to scale above shidou. Shidou also shows the capability of manhandling someone like sendou, scales about even to rin who has decent overalls but loses to aiku straight up. If we were to take kunigami as the best physical build in the NEL I believe that he can manhandle Shidou no problem and tank his kicks more or less. If they were to go at it within a large area I can see Shidou running away but eventually getting caught whilst trying to counter. If they were within a confined space like an octagon then I’d say kunigami 100%. The weight difference and power difference means kunigami has really threatening ko power on the feat with both of his leg kicks and possibly overhands and dominate the ground game with his superior weight and power. All Shidou has is agility which also goes so far when you don’t have the power to back it up. I believe he got a full swing at rin and only made his nose bleed and that’s poor from him, any sneak attack to the head should at least result in a concussion. Kunigami > Shidou 100%
Let's keep it on the field mate...lmao, i agree kunigami beats shidou in a bar fight rn😂
4:59 He did a Roulette In this Panel
I like how the intro was Gojo vs Sukuna
ace lock rly spits some facts
W Video as usual
Am In a Totally Frezy Right Now I Don't know who Would Win Kunigami Is Strong And Shidou is Good at Analysing Player's By Just Looking at them And knows how to Beat there Strongest Weapon like for Kunigami Physics Was Useless Against Him But After he's "Wild Card" Arc Shidou Might have Some Trouble
Maybe the old Shidou but I‘m pretty sure he will get a huge upgrade….wouldn’t make any sense that someone on Rin‘s level pre NEL wouldn’t improve.
So without plot honestly no chance in my opinion.
Something I Realise When Reading All The Matches in the NEL Arc Kunigami Has been Scoring with he's Right Foot Only (Other When Isagi Forced Him into Flow In the FC Barcha Game to Score the Winning Goal) And he Told Him Isagi About if he Tries to Be Ambidextrous He's "Strength" will Decrease Being he's Right Leg Direct Shot and Kunigami is only using he's Right So Kunigami Might be Killing he's Own Talent...Am just Saying
Killed what talent? He lost in the 2nd selection lol. He had to become ambidextrous to survive in the Wild Card, this is such a weird take
@@cooperelt1299 😎 It is what it is 🤣👍
@@cooperelt1299this guy s crazy to say, just because he lost dont mean he didn’t have talent. Reo lost with him and we see how good reo is now. Shidou at that time was just a more complete player, hed dominate most players at that time in a 2v2
NEL Kunigami only has 2 goals… 1 with left, 1 with right knee
@@SomeStuffNLH Right Knee.... Bro What
Chgiri vs Bachira next plz
Baby you know it
Kunigami put Shidou behind bars
this makes me think igaguri would win against noel noa, christiano ronaldo, messi, and julian loki
First and congrats for hitting 2k 🎉❤
Thank you my G, really appreciated
"definetly shidou" first cap man xd
Kuni well win it’s plot because he’s one of the main four characters and probably gonna link up with Jin
Maybe but he needs to get rod of the lone wolf mentality otherwise he can't
shidou no diffs kuni
I have to say your Reo overpowered Shidou take is such an L. As someone who played football as a striker since I was 3 years old I can say there is nothing you can do with strength if a defender positions himself like that behind you without using a one-two-pass to break away and run around the defender…and I think I should know this being 1,90m tall and 83kg heavy with a body trained throughout 19 years of my lifetime xD
And let’s be honest I think Shidou‘s dribbling is probably way better than we thought because we never really saw it but I don’t think in the second selection he just won that game or made a goal against the world 5 with just receiving a pass.
And I am pretty positive Shidou will awaken against Barcha and make a hattrick of his own because narratively it wouldn’t make sense if Rin‘s bid would rise much more over Isagi’s as it is now and it would also fit Shidou’s character narrative to awaken against the team from the country being advertised with the two attributes of creativity and exciting football which is what he seeks for. Not to forget Sae actually gave him his private number after the U20 game which could be foreshadowing and a hattrick against La Real‘s domestic league arch nemesis Barcha would be a great way to make a case for himself as an less costly alternative to Kaiser as well as giving us a cool narrative of him getting slighty higher value than Isagi so that Isagi can really surpass both symbolically like in the third selection but this time it not being a fluke anymore.
Would honestly be a waste by the author if it doesn’t play out like that because it gives the most opportunities to future stories involving the Champions League.
🔥🔥🔥
I didn't play football professionally so i wouldn't have known, i went with the narrative because when Niyu did it to Nagi they were commenting on how he overpowered him with his muscle mass and power in that position
@@ACE_Lock it’s not that much about strength because literally pressing yourself against someone in this position limits basically any possible movement apart from going straight forward away from the defender at least one step.
Sry but why does everyone say Shidous dribbling sucks? In the third selection Isagi was amazed at Karasus defense and said something line "He was even able to stop Shidous powerfull dribbling!" while no one ever said the opposite really
Isagi never said such thing, and karasu literally stated shidou is mediocre at dribbling and playmaking.. he excels more at off the ball movement and his athleticism..
@@mycrooo6841 chapter 98 page 2
"Incredible.. He's fast enough to respong to shidos powerfull dribbling"
My only mistake it that it didnt refer to Karasu but Otoya blocking shido.
And no Karasu never said that about shido but thats close to what he said about Isagi so you are prbly mistaning it with that.
@@mycrooo6841 Karasu didn’t say mediocre 💀 he said 2nd rate… 1st rate is best-in-class, 2nd rate means good
@@noaworldTM 2nd rate, average, mediocre what ever you wanna call it..
@@noaworldTM not so good or not very good
Whats up with the Rengoku music in the background xd
It's Akaza's actually and it's one of the best OSTs out there
well this didn't age well .
“Kunigami vs Shidou isn’t close”
*goes onto explain how either of them could win*
The title isjust for the algorithm then i unbiasly asses each player and see who comes on top
Zesty demon will destroy fallen shit
Also I think shidou gets kicked out of blue lock and signs with Real Madrid. Just a theory due to his recklessness and it’s been foreshadowed early
bro if he does he would be with Sae and u already know how deadly that is
Shidou is a BEAST. Tbh I dont see Kunigami vs Shidou being fair in any way, Kunigami would be destroyed
unfortunately for you, kunigam got his position changed to dm and shidou got absolutely shut down and destroyed by kunigami
wild card >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> wild stupid demon
@@sheenakr7616 sorry what? Kunigami just stopped him once. He is mot destroying or dominaring anyone
@@marceloasensiofilho3833 shidou didn't get 1 pass through in the next 2 chapters too(I haven't read the latest chapters so idk what happens after 3 chapters where shidou is completely shut)
Can't wait to see NEL Shidou. Also I would love to see Hero Kunigami come back instead of emo kunigami.
you cant be a "Lone striker" in football, especially when you act like a dickhead infront of everyone. Bayern munich has a problem with disagreements with one another, so you end up with sub groups. Kunigami has 2 playmakers (hioir and isagi) on his team. Had he learnt how to play with his team in order to score, we would see him perform much better.
Also your point was good about aryu keeping an eye on kunigami. But deep down, they know that no one would pass to him. They only made sure that he wasn't free, especially if there was a loose ball.
100% man, while making the video i thought of how much Kunigami would have been an insane striker if he was just okay with playing for the logical win
sad kunigami long range shot didn't improve
Shidou was able out muscles pre wild card kunigami stop downplaying him
Funny thing that people don’t pay attention to is who was the one to beat shidous team of 3 in the 2nd selection because he was playing in the 2 vs 2’s, I wonder who beat his team?
im pretty sure there is this one player called next messi in blue lock, he is rn in barcha as a sub, so i guess he must be the secret op guy who keeps on messing up these op players without every getting any screentime
also mind that according to isagi when he first entered blue lock that messi guy is one of the best players there
@@sheenakr7616 yeah that’s a good point and I could see shidou like seeing the barcha game going on and seeing him and getting really mad,
I just wanna know in the 3rd selection shidou was on 2v2 where they met so who defeated him
He got a red card after attacking his opponents because they were weak
And so Igaguri was vs 3
Kunigami cooking like if u play soccer youll understand how good a physical all kunigami needs is contact simple and saying shidou already beat bro means nun cause I bet he can’t beat Noel Nao the person kunigami is forged to be like
unfortunately this BL and it doesn't hold to IRL football that much
@@ACE_Lock true
You can`t say kuni was not accepting passes he was alway looking for a pass and the reason he doesn`t give passes is because he is the damn striker and be for real if isagi actually pass the ball he would just want it back to score because there was many times where kuni would have scored if he got the damn pass but they just want to suck kaiser and isagi am i wrong that man could shot from outside the box.
Naaa all that wild card for what
In my opinion I think shidou could win against Kunigami but if Kungami could win because of his physical stats and etc while shidou is rellay good in the penalty box shooting and best player I might seen
Don’t forget Shidou will have improved as well because I don’t think that Rin will be the only one with a huge upgrade(or even hattrick) going into the last game because Shidou and Rin were basically somewhat equal pre NEL.
Ichigo if he didn't meet rukia 💀
do you think kunigami will get his revenge?
His revenge needs to be vs Ego lol
Ikr lmao
@@ACE_Lock I think Kunigami hasn’t said anything to Isagi about ts bc he knows he’s drinking Ego’s koolaid. I’ll bet by the end of the series we view Ego differently than we do now
bro said kuni v shidou is the biggest rivalry 💀
It is yeah the one with the biggest history
2k views in 5hrs. Congrats on the 1/10 & confetti lol

his lonewolf mentality is not the problem. From how it is going rn pxg has a higher chance of winning imo not because of Shido fr
