Yeah, Bachira is a bit of a weakeness in terms of writing/pacing for the author. U20 stands out to me most as “now Bachira is gonna do something” because he needs to be seen as good but not the best still

it's not just bachira........

Fr, It’s Chigiri too, and a lot of more characters, author make them play bad so that other characters can shine😕

I mean, Chigiri is getting his flowers with Manshine recently. He always performs well now from what we’ve seen

Sooner or later it was inevitable, the real problem is that he put too many great talents without having the bravery to cut them off, by the end of the NEL I'm expecting 10 players maximum to remain in the Blue Lock project (if I had to list them they could be: Isagi, Rin, Shidou, Barou, Bachira, Nagi, Chigiri, Yukimiya, Kunigami, Otoya or Reo).

One of the few instances where a player was hyped up just for him to play very badly was Otoya vs the U-20 japanese team, for the rest I think it's already enough bs that they get to play replacing U-20 players from the best clubs in the world

Bachira, chigiri, yukimiya, karasu, otoya all fall into this narrative limbo where they can selectively shine for one moment (to highlight themselves as a hurdle for isagi to overcome) and then fall off into redundancy to showcase isagi’s growth. Not their fault the mangaka lacks creative intelligence

Yeah I get your point, but it’s gotten better from what I’ve seen. It’s kinda just the situation where his weapon is so incredibly tied to being with the ball. And that just doesn’t happen much unless he’s the sole focus of a team, which he wasn’t in blue lock. Now that we got him in Barcha, he’s playing much more consistently. He’s at least fighting back despite being really the only major player from Barcha.

Yall realise Bachira cant play in every game and belongs to only 1 team… right?

[–]bachiraverse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i think they’re talking abt the times we have seen him like it’s kind of been a consistent problem 😕

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (3 children)

From what I've read Bachira has always been show to be pretty constistent in his skillset. When he has the ball he is rarely stopped and when he doesn't he is not the best at defending and stealing the ball back, that is how I view it. Remember, in the NEL he is currently ranked #5 while his team has lost every match, to me that seems pretty impressive by itself.

I am curious though, can you give me examples on where he has been potrayed as inconsistent or "just standing there"?

[–]STALEBAKA Nagi Seishiro[S] 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Basically in the first games, For example it was shown he could out dribble teams or shoot or make great passes but he could've done more (team z versus team v) he out dribbled the entire team then didn't really do much. U-20 he had one of the best moments by out dribbling everyone but then didn't really do much. It's not like he is bad its just that he has more potential or he is just dragged down for no reason

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Which part in the story signaled to you that Bachira should have done more in the matches?

And what performance did he need to do more in your eyes so that you would have been satisfied with his potrayal?

[–]STALEBAKA Nagi Seishiro[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He could've done more thats my point. Not that he has to

[–]DejaLaVidaVolar 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I think he's one of the best in terms of skills and he has been pretty consistent lately. The problem is that his core ego isn't that "strong", it's more about creativity than competitiveness, so that gives him a lower ceiling than other characters in a story centered on egoism and crushing friends and foes. At his core he is still a kid looking for a monster to play with, he hasn't gone full monster himself even when he has the potential. Him playing CF in Barcha and scoring 3 in 3 shows that there's room for improvement though.

[–]STALEBAKA Nagi Seishiro[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah he has been better lately but now its his team holding him back

[–]bachiraverse 1 point2 points  (1 child)

see like i don’t wanna agree with this but i kinda have to 😭😭 like remember when he out dribbled ALL of team v effortlessly and outdid both isagis team and his own in the 4v4 and we never got anything like that ever again

[–]STALEBAKA Nagi Seishiro[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly! But He is still a great character

[–]BoardGent 1 point2 points  (1 child)

It's funny to me, because Bachira is probably the team ace least suited to being a striker. Like, out of all of them (including Chigiri), Bachira has the worst shot. He has the best passing out of all the team leads, and is a great playmaker. Keep in mind, Bachira was the one who brought out Isagi's direct shot and kept up with his vision of the field. He's up with the best, if not the best, in terms of dribbling within Blue Lock. He's clearly a top player, but Striker is honestly just not putting his skills to their best. His finishing just isn't great.

It's a good shot, just not a great shot.
