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.

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.

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 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.

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.

@RiseUpToYourAbility

Жыл бұрын

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

​@@nic558Blue lock is great but it just doesnt appeal to you personally it seems. Its popular because it contrasts the usual wholesome teamwork ideaology that mostly gets pushed in these types of shows while blue lock puts emphasis on the individual and the necessity of being selfish which is rarely ever explored since usually that type of stuff is shunned and shown in a negative light. Also I love the cringe and the exaggerated toxicity of competition lol thats the best part and what truly makes anime, an anime, the edgy cool nonsense. Its really no surprise its popular

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.

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.

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.

in a similar vein, i like to hear people’s deeper takes on blue lock but when you watch the show purely from the perspective of “this is about high school boys playing soccer” the show has such a dark, serious tone that it almost reads like some kind of surreal absurdist comedy that’s really committing to the bit, and it’s insanely funny to watch from that sort of lens.

When he said it's the purest form of hype it's real cuz when me n my cousins were watching Blue lock my cousin was like he was watching the wc or something 🤣

As someone who plays soccer and is a defender, this anime was so good to watch I'm excited for new episodes

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

I bet that the people who say Bluelock is cringe because of stuff like every player saying that they have a "weapon" or Bachira saying that there is a monster inside him have never played football in their entire life. I would be surprised if they have ever played a sport competitively because I used to play as the goalkeeper in my football team and the hype is almost, if not exact, like the hype in Blue Lock.

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.

Naah. The 90% of manga protagonists always want to be the best and care about team work only with words, not with facts. Anyway, good video

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.

A big misconception about blue lock is how people belive that the main premise is how teamwork is meaningless and that the individual is the only thing that matters, and that thinking is entirely Wrong. Its not that Blue Lock abandons the Team Aspect or "Friendship" part of sports but instead chooses to turn the focus away from those aspects and onto the individual. Its less of "Im the only one who matters on the team" but is actually "Do I matter without my team". Blue Locks message can spread beyond just "Soccer" or "Sports" as a whole. The theme of Egoism centers and isolates on the individual into a competitive environment. A fight to see whos truly the best in whatever you want to be. A core idea being that those who are complacent will never change ("I don't need to change"), be willing to change ("Why would I change?"), or understand those who changed ("If I changed I bet I would be just as good as you"). Egoism in the context of blue lock isn't simple pride or arrogance, its the willingness to do anything you can to become the best.

3:21 I don't know how often I see a video like this. The incomparable SHUSH by Sinatraa appears

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 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.

In themanga its explained they wont be able to play for Japan's team if they dont win blue lock past the second selection ; if were kicked out during the second and first selection then yeah you can never play it for a career but after the U20 game all the players are eligible to be scouted and not lose the ability to play, the U20 game changed all the rules and all the contact's that Ego had made previously became void I think by the end of the seires we will see a full team and not just a single player survivor i think the rules will once again be changed later on in the line up because now Blue Lock owns the U20 team completely so Blue Lock gets to pick for U20 for all the players and yeah Ego being Ego is probably gonna pick mainly people from Blue Lock there are a ton of high class strikers who we have seen be used elsewhere and he'll probably do that again lol

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.

Blue lock is a battle shonen that has football in it. Ao ashi is an actual football anime that is leagues above blue lock

Nah Ao Ashi is not leagues above just because it delves deeper into the soccer aspect

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!

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

the people reviewing the anime probably have never played a sport in their lives, let alone touch grass

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)

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.

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.)

the blue lock characters act like me when I'm loosing at uno

they are not middle schoolers, they are high schoolers.

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 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!

@kookiekommenter

Жыл бұрын

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"

@ARMYALEX1869

"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.

The way I see it I would imagine the setting is in a parallel world where these kids are secretly trained to battle some aliens in a space jam like galactic level tournaments.

Great analyzation of the first part of the series. BTW, they are highschoolers not middle. For those who enjoy this series but can’t wait for the next season. They have 26 volumes available for digital download. I say read the manga because it just gets better.

I dun really fxxk w soccer anime or soccer in general but blue lock artstyle and story got me so hooked not to mention that a bunch of those characters made me feel like I've seen emm lotta tines befo

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

the title "bluelock is not a sports anime" the intro "BLUELOCK IS THE NEWEST SPORTS ANIME!"

its actually 24 episodes, they took a 2 week break after the 12th

personally i play soccer comp and the vibe on the pitch is real and the competetiveness isn't completely unrealistic sure they do crasy stuff but alot of it is normal stuff with GODLY animations which make it look "unrealistic"

(NOT SPOILING) don't worry about the underdeveloped characters, I read the manga, and let me tell you this; every character that remains in blue lock will become very involved with the story in their own way, they won't feel as shallow as some did on the adapted chapters!

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

For like situations with naruhaya , bluelock says that you can't qualify for the national team. But you be like Mitoma or Minamino and play for a club and make money that way. Same for Igaguri and Kuro. You can even win the Champions League

Blue Lock isn’t your typical sports anime. It’s not focused specifically on the sport but more on the competitive fire and will that drives us when playing. If you were to switch the sport from soccer to baseball, it would be the same. The anime is driven on emotion and the will to win with soccer sprinkled in to help illustrate that. However the moves they do in the anime are hype af.

the best way to describe blue lock is Kukoros basketball but everyone has the mind set of Akashi or Aomine

How I view blue lock as a former striker for a decent enough team in my state its like 15-25% right with with its philosophy as a striker you do have to want it more than anyone else but you also gotta actually work as a team and realize defense is just as Important your team isnt a ladder that you climb to that glorious goal it's that ladder that holds you up when you get said goal so dont take blue lock philosophy as gospel it's kinda right but only in a few small aspects

Ego explains flow state later in blue lock❤

I love Haikyuu, Blue Lock, and Kuroko no Basket, but I gotta say, ACE OF DIAMONDS goes kinds crazy, highly recommend it because it is paced PRETTY differently than like Haikyuu despite it having the same sort of formula.

As a german, I am still a bit pissed that we were out this fast... but nice video :)

Look, I only really saw the title before writing this comment. To me, a sports anime, or at least sports shounen, are never truly about the sport and always have been about building hype for the next character moment. In my eyes, Yu-Gi-Oh and Initial D are both also sports anime, as is Saki despite the main game being Mahjong of all things. By that definition, Blue Lock, without a shadow of a doubt, is a sports anime. What they do with Ego is the same as what Inazuma Eleven does with Hissatsu Techniques. Or like the moments in Kuroko no Basket. The story revolves around the matches, and the matches are all about building hype. That's what sports anime are about to me

the characters are teenage boys so idk why anyone would call the show 'too dramatic'. have u ever seen teenage boys play football?

Honestly the people who say the characters' behaviour is 'unrealistic' must have never touched a sport or an e-sport in their entire life. You can be a completely mentally sound person and still for even 5 seconds temporarily get a multiple personality disorder from how the game can affect you. As silly and 'overexaggerated' as Blue Lock may portray it, all that 'monster inside of me' or the entire point of egoism is hella real. You won't even notice when you are suddenly running twice faster than you usually do, twice as long as you are usually capable of just because you want to make just one more save, just one more play, score one more goal. It's literally the quintessence of sports and why they're both riveting to watch and play.

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.
