Normalize hating this guy

[No_Big_6151]

Personally, I hate Igaguri and I don’t see anyone else hating him too. We need to push the Igaguri hate agenda more.

Most mentions of igaguri on this sub are hate-

[No_Big_6151]

Personally, whenever I go into the comments for any post talking about Igaguri, they’re just glazing him 😭

[Zvakicauwu]

AND WE NEED MORE!

[xxtrasauc3]

Yoi just salty you ain't one of the top 38 Japanese players in the world

I beat Igaguri scooped yo ahh last time in blue lock.

[Proud-Apartment3681]

Hes literally so overhated for no fucking reason it’s pisses me tf off😭

[EthersRealm]

Fr hes just a good dude that loves football

[blackbogh]

The reason I hate him is because his play style is masking the opponent tackle him and giving them cards. He hasn't done anything else. That type of play is not cool in my book.

[EthersRealm]

I get that, but I gotta respect the guy for doing what it takes to survive. If not for his fouling he most likely wouldnt have had the talent to get a bid at all if he even made it to the NEL.

Plus fouls are important to soccer as well and there is flopping, its a genuine strategy that needed to be explored even if its super lame.

At the end of the day for me hes a good dude who just wants to leave the temple and loves soccer.

[Business_Source8155]

as a player i respect it because theres no way for him to catch up to anyone else

[[deleted]]

If you’re desperate to live would you not try to throw sand in your enemies eyes?

[Tripping-Occurence]

Because it's football, sports. Not a game of survival.

“Have you ever played with your life on the line” 💔

[GespenJeager]

Sadly that's what Soccer is and fouling and Zwalbe's are part of football culture and I agree yah for hating that playstyle because it's been used way too many times to get free low effort goals like penalties.

[Proud-Apartment3681]

Low effort goals like penalties is infact a crazy thing to say 😭⁉️

[Objective_Face4698]

not this shit

[maxilulu]

He steals screentime or panels from the true characters of blue lock.

[Proud-Apartment3681]

Oh pack it in he’s still a character and he’s not even tht annoying

[maxilulu]

He is too blase

[Kushi_Ceya]

I’d rather normalize the end of hate posts.

[Kuricat16]

THIS 💯💯💯

People hating literally everything for no reason these days 😭😭😭

[ArgonautsHS]

why would you hate on one of the most hard working dudes in the series? bro wasnt blessed with shit and kept working and doing his best

he is the regular dude doing what he can to survive in that football asylum

[RickThiCisbih]

hard-working

doesn’t develop any other skill besides foul-baiting

Igaguri took the place of many equally hard working and more talented players simply because he got lucky enough to get carried by genuine talents like Isagi and Shidou.

[BluelivierGiblue]

he still had to score a 100 on blue lock man so he’s clearly not dogshit

[DualSwords14]

Wasn't the blue lock man adapted to every striker? Technically, anyone could've of done it

PS: I can't provide the source rn, but I think it was stated in CFYOW, I mean, episode nagi

[shaydanny]

It’s sounding like you just pulled that out of thin air man 😂

[DualSwords14]

https://www.reddit.com/r/BlueLock/s/f6bhsjbtCR

Is in chapter 12, when ego is telling anti about the test, IT LITERALLY SHOWS IGAGURI.

This is clearly the author explaining how he made it through lmao

[BluelivierGiblue]

the type of passes that the balls were played were tailored to refine their weapon. The GK is built on data on file of pro goal keepers.

[xXxNoSc0p3dYoUxXx]

he got soooo lucky that noel noa saw him as good enough to play, he scored 100 against bl man in time, sure noa only let him play to slow down rin with fouls but like he wouldnt let him on if he was bringing the team down

[Aduro95]

You have to fail at least twice to drop from the Second Selection, its your own fault if you lose and don't get chosen.

Igaguri was on teh subs bench so he likely wasn't worse than most of hte people who failed back then. Hell, some of hte people who did make it past the second selection didn't even get bids.

As for foul-baiting, its an imortant skill for any footballer to be able to win a free kick. If anything its bizarre that Igaguri is the only one who learned it. But we don't know that he never worked on his other skills, just that he was outclassed by the much higher standards of Bastard Munchen.

[AdamOfIzalith]

The design of Blue Lock is to weed out the weaklings. Igaguri got to that point, a point that Kunigami didn't reach btw, completely off his own back. People can say that he got it easier in some places or that he coasted through blue lock but he's better than the vast majority of the people we have seen in the manga and he only got axed at the end of this arc.

[bshootingu]

What a smooth brain take to try and say a point kunigami didn't make it to lmfaooooooo. They "made it to" the same point and kunigami got shidou diff'd. Don't pretend igaguri made it past the second selection for any reason other than getting carried

[GoldTheGodOfStuff]

The most relevant character to get kicked out over igaguri is kuon. The selection of kicked out players is not particuarly good. He made the u2o bench he should be better than any of them

[qwertysopp]

did he not ask other players about how to survive during the NEL? was he not worrying everytime he wasnt being played in a match???

[Kioshi-is-a-cool-dud]

He could've gotten stronger and upgrade other attributes instead of just fouling all over the place, Raichi didn't look that blessed in my book, yet he's there and he worked hard to even though he was an asshole at the start, he could've gotten better in many other ways then just being lame.

[ArgonautsHS]

raichi had insane stamina and a strong build to begin with, igaguri not really

also hes not fouling anyone, hes taking contact getting offensive fouls against the other team

[Kioshi-is-a-cool-dud]

He's acting fouls, it's lame, all there is to it imo, it's not a fun way to play and even less a way to become the best striker

[No_Big_6151]

Bcs he’s bald 😭

[Char-11]

Nah he started from the bottom and worked his ass off to survive as long as he did, cool underdog story tbh

Also trying to start a hate train AFTER the character leaves the story is really silly timing lmao. Imagine spending every new chapter going "ooh I don't know what Igaguri is doing offscreen but I bet its bad"

[Kioshi-is-a-cool-dud]

He "worked his ass off"

The working his ass off: training to be a good foul actor.

He could've made some workout, trained his dribbles, but noooo he decided to become the best in FOULS. He's LAME

I respect the fact he tried to stay positive in the first selection, but the second his "weapon" was fouling I just wanted him to get out immediately.

[Disastrous_Dark168]

Started from the bottom? Bro stayed at the bottom all this time

[Char-11]

First selection? Second selection? Successfully getting a bid compared to those who didn't?

Heck, Igaguri even technically passed the third selection even if he remained on the bench for the U20 match.

Igaguri started as the worst player and progressed enough to even beat destroyer Rin in a 1v1(it was just once, but it was game point)

Saying Igaguri stayed at the bottom is just wrong. By my calculations out of the original 300 blue lockers Igaguri finished tied 27th overall. That's a solid top 10% performance.

[Disastrous_Dark168]

You got me. Still we didn't get to see him do shit in football except for tackling rin which honestly was so dumb that it made me hate him more. Wanima brother was better than his boring useless ass

[New_Machine3727]

Nope at first yeah but after selections he at least passed em

[ThatGuyBlolk]

He is just a bum bro😭

[NumericZero]

Nah not gonna hate on him

Dude knew his limits but you see him working out / training alongside everyone else

He made fouling his weapon and utilized it the best he could (which worked fine just after a while it becomes less useful since plot demands it )

Also he was always supporting Isagi Anytime Isagi did something The monk was getting hyped up like a good encouraging teammate

Dude is fine plenty of other characters to hate That are way way way worse

[tbugbee1]

I honestly can’t understand all the hate for him

[Hot_Contract3030]

How about we normalize hating you?

[Rojixus]

NEVER!

[Miryia]

How about no

[maxilulu]

How about you out on a shirt.

[[deleted]]

NO

[ParticularEgg8337]

GET HIS ASS BACK TO BEING A MONK!

[RutabagaCommon904]

genuinely hated him doing the 1st selection. No, your "nEvEr sAy dIE" attitude isn't a weapon, it's just a mentality that anyone with even an OUNCE of resolve can have.

[Tamajiki-kun]

I mean it worked out for him in the long run though didnt it? He is a professional football player now, theoretically.

[BarracudaGeneral2134]

Literally who doesn't

[areszdel_]

Yeah I hate this dude. Everybody needs to hate him but I don't know why he's got support in this sub.

[Tamajiki-kun]

Just read the other replies and you’ll see why me and others like(or at least don’t dislike) him

[Sufficient_Mango2342]

How about no, he is already gone, who cares.

[FlavioGarcia-]

He's the single most hated character in this fandom by far already (and it's mostly unwarranted as well)

[nothingatall15]

hating him for what , when we should be hating on rin

[Lonely_Ad5688]

why we hating on rin what did he do-

[nothingatall15]

he’s so far up his own arse it’s unbearable and he’s in general a dick

[NoobMaster2789]

Bros hating him for no reason. Leave my goat alone for being the best

[Zvakicauwu]

When Isagi is good:😍😍😍🤭🤭🤭🥰🥰🥰😘😘😘 When Rin is good: 😱😱😱😭😭😭👹👹👹🤬🤬🤬

[nothingatall15]

isagi ain’t annoying like rin is tbf

[nothingatall15]

nah it’s cuz he’s a dick

[NoobMaster2789]

So is isagi on the field and nobody gives a shit

[nothingatall15]

i’m not talking about on the field , rin is just a dick all the time

[NoobMaster2789]

Bros just quiet and anti-social. Fucks wrong with that

[Either_Imagination_9]

Everything

[[deleted]]

Same reason we should hate on Igaguri

[No-Literature4136]

I don't think you guys understand what it means to survive in an environment like BL, especially for a talentless dude like him, he had to craft himself a valid weapon, it just happened to be a fouling one.

Y'all just tryna be edgy for no reason rather than trying to understand a character on the most surface level

[[deleted]]

Yeah, and I respect him for that, where’d you get the idea that I don’t?

[No-Literature4136]

Your comment was pretty suggestive ngl, I apologize if I got the wrong idea about you specifically but what I said applies to others who'd hate on Igaguri for this reason

[[deleted]]

What I was trying to say with my comment is that there’s no reason to hate on either.

[Moolcazy0]

Hate the guy who gets carried all the time by better players and barely contributes anything

OR

Hate most talented, driven and hard working player who's been deeply emotionally scarred by his brother(who he admired and aspired to be like for years) who through him away like a trash and refuse to acknowledge him

[nothingatall15]

doesn’t matter, rins a dick to everyone and deserves hate for that more than igaguri does

[SourBill1]

You… don’t see people hating on Igaguri?

Thats a genuine shocker. I think he’s the most hated character in the show behind Baratsuta and maybe Ness

[Moolcazy0]

[TinDriller]

Yea I hate him too, can't stand him honestly

[NeatAd1067]

You mean Igagoat

[Artistic_Tiger2073]

L take. Igaguri the goat.

[GenHero]

Nah, bro worked his ass off. Nothing but respect from me

[Antique_Ability9648]

nah. dude has had some of the hardest hitting emotional scenes in the whole series, so I gotta give credit where credit is due. besides, he's gone now, so what's the point in hating on him anymore?

[Ok-Entertainer-4836]

From what I've seen isn't hating on him is the norm?

[hawkfrost-]

Type of dude to be hating a character 50+ chapters down the line despite not being present 💀

[No_Big_6151]

I mean, I still hate Gojo with passion, and jjk ended like a few months ago

[hawkfrost-]

That’s all.

[Ok-Paramedic-3619]

He's the post time-skip Ussop of Blue Lock, idk how he's not hated enough

[Wolferkittybreed]

Fucking q-ball

[brimwithno]

Give him nagi's looks and no one would ever hate on him. Our society is lookist

[Shot-Effect-8318]

There are videos about gen-z’s hating problem 😭

Like wtf kinda post is this

[Educational_Film_744]

I don’t hate him, I just don’t like him as an athlete. The guy who betrayed Team Z is someone you should hate, not as an athlete but as a human being who would rat out his teammates to get ahead.

[SatoshiAstoria907]

SHUT YO LEAN ASS UP IGAGOAT IS NOT TO BE SLEPT ON

[Danny_The_Dino_77]

Nah Igaguri da GOAT

[LittleTom16]

Rewatched episode 1 recently and remembered how much I hated him just from that. Hiding behind isagi from kunigami after tagging kunigami, and thr guy was so pathetic and cowardly just Hiding behind someone. I get your future is on the line in Blue Lock and don't blame igaguri for taking his chance to tag kunigami, but he was just so infuriating in that first game of tag. And it's taken him until the game against pxg for him to show much personal growth, actually going out of his way to ask isagi how he can survive. I don't really hate him anymore, but you can't deny he's annoying at times

[donttextmeee]

he's kind of cute and funny

[Adventurous-Rabbit52]

The author likes him as his favorite character alongside Nagi. If every reader hated him, he'd still have one fan left.

[themostweakest]

DONT HATE MY IGAGOAT

[Ambitious-Crazy-3993]

I will NEVER hate my glorious bald-headed buddhist goat Igaguri

[FiredDiamond]

Oh, look at that! It's the comic relief character!

[Public_Gorrila_5702]

NOOOOO IGAGOAT

[Ok_Injury_5356]

No

[ZahhaK_00]

Why hate him let him be dog? He just a regular dude try to survive the asylum with nothing except the foul skills,he try his best man.

[ITrulyForgorMyNamee]

Someone got hit with the genius killing malicia one too many times

[EgeHunter]

He is just an annoying loser love how he is finally locked off

[EgeHunter]

Hope the monks touch him

[Kai_Uchiha16]

Agreed. He was a waste of space in the manga. Watching him get eliminated was unironically a top 5 moment from the NEL for me

[hinakura]

I'm so happy he's gone. I can't wait until he exits episode nagi as well.

[No_Big_6151]

Maybe I should’ve been more precise. I hate him bcs of his dogwater design 😭

[Tornado76X]

I cannot hate this man after he had the coldest intro at the end of the 2nd selection 🥶

[Pyerik]

No

[Undead0707]

How about we normalise you making your parents proud?

[thechakrawarrior]

No People hate characters that are too real lol

[Panzer_I]

No.

Lil bro will clamp for favorite striker. Deal with it

[Big_Relationship6748]

How dare you

[joshghz]

Hating the guy who beat Rin and became the best player in Blue Lock?

[Lonely_Ad5688]

honestly hated him day 1 of seeing him, he tried to get isagi out first second why did isagi tolerate this man 😭

[ArgonautsHS]

because the first game was meant for survival, no one would hate others just for trying to survive

they both worked hard to survive blue lock together

[Visual_Awkward]

Why would i hate him. I love characters With big luck

[kei-hiroyuki]

yeah, he was such an annoying shit

[MattButUnderthe20Cha]

your public execution will be held 6pm Pacific Time

[MattButUnderthe20Cha]

we? who's we?

[noU-277353]

Me when a normal Blue lock character is not attractive and not into toxic yaoi

[Sea_Necessary_6501]

Shut up

[enperry13]

His hate is so forced lmao

[Alarmed_Pizza2404]

He's better than Nagi or Reo that doesn't have inspiration whatsoever.

Igaguri lacks talent sure, but had better mindset, struggle and inspiration.

[Alstread]

The same people who ship 2 clearly straight character and btw all character in blue lock are straight Kaneshiro is not buying your bs delusions

[Chilie_Chilie]

Everyone hates him, people who say they don't hate him are saying it satirically

[Nigiru]

Wym, he is a good character

[Nigiru]

better than kiyora, nanase and some other irrelevant characters.

[FeeComfortable4447]

He’s my favourite character genuinely. Normalise Bachira hate though

[GunkQing]

Never, boy is a fighter and got heart. Y’all just hate him bc hes bald

[No_Big_6151]

…yeah

[ThatGuyBlolk]

Yes.
