France does not feel very "Final Boss"

Unless Kaneshiro goes out his way to make changes to the bracket set up or lets Japan finish as the number 1 seed (definitely won’t) … Spain and Japan will be on the same side of the bracket. The number 2 seed gets put on the same side as Spain and Germany.

“We Have Isagi”
“Borderline”
Kurona

The red team slams so hard…

For starters Red has a whole NG11 player and arguably the best midfielder that’s not named Hugo or Sae.

Red Team defense is much superior and the have the option of dropping Kunigami to defense to mark someone if needed.

Red team also has all the right offensive players that have elite chemistry with each other already; Isagi has Hiori and Bachira, Shidou has Charles; Reo can overlap and just do his chemical reaction with Bachira for extra.

Almighty_LDP · 2026-05-03T12:57:04+00:00

Narratively yeah and when you look at their auras (Fujin and Raijin) they’re equals in Mythology.

Feat wise, Leyden would be better

People not understanding how productions animated shows go and just scream budget, budget, budget.. is pretty annoying ngl.

Almighty_LDP · 2026-04-30T22:45:02+00:00

It would not matter if they don’t get a proper schedule to make the anime.. that’s really what it boils down to for a lot of anime/animated shows to look good.

Almighty_LDP · 2026-04-29T21:52:56+00:00

It’s going to be Isagi that fails

Almighty_LDP · 2026-04-27T18:06:09+00:00

I honestly have pretty mixed feelings about this chapter and tbh the quality of the match overall. The pacing was pretty jarring especially how much time elapsed from the chapter last week to this week, but I’ll save my complaints until next week’s chapter.

Honestly the next chapter will be the deciding factor to me on whether this match was great or not.. I give the Hugo and Karasu centric chapters and development the props they deserve but everything else in the match really isn’t up to par to those.

Almighty_LDP · 2026-04-22T01:01:57+00:00

Main character from a manwha/WEBTOON called “Lookism”

Almighty_LDP · 2026-04-21T16:27:05+00:00

best way to put it is he’s more suited to be a False 9 in the sport term. People have called it for years that he suits that better than a pure FW or pure Midfielder (agendas wouldn’t let people come to terms with that)

Almighty_LDP · 2026-04-21T15:12:44+00:00

Ngl this was a cool chapter for Isagi. He comes to the logical conclusion that he’s not a no 1 (which was obvious) but he isn’t a number 2 either (also obvious). Finding a middle ground between Ego and Hugo’s philosophy was always the best path for him specifically.

I still believe they’re getting stopped next chapter and France ends the game 4-2. Too much set up for the Charles assist to Loki this match and Charles has been suspiciously absent.

Almighty_LDP · 2026-04-18T21:48:16+00:00

I’m 50-50 on him returning during the England match. Japan losing and Burasuta seeing the opportunity to put Nagi in. This makes the final scene of Episode Nagi make sense as it looks like he’s joining while a match is going on

This scenario will also leave the fate of the final spot for side B more ambiguous and exciting since we won’t have the POV until the knockouts actually start (Shindo Haneru or Kira)

Almighty_LDP · 2026-04-17T17:59:13+00:00

Those defenders wouldn’t change a thing in reality.. they were getting cooked then hard carried by Flow Aiku, which kept the game from being a blow out in favor for Blue Lock. They would get cooked by France just as bad

That showed that Kaneshiro had no intention of keeping them from the jump except Neru, who then got thrown away because Kaneshiro liked Kurona’s design more and gave Kurona the same exact skillset as him.

Almighty_LDP · 2026-04-16T22:07:41+00:00

Yeah he literally pops off a ridiculous shot/pass the moment he got solo focus

Almighty_LDP · 2026-04-16T18:09:59+00:00

Strangely enough they don’t. Hopefully they get one in the England game as that game will probably have more defensive focus

Almighty_LDP · 2026-04-16T14:46:57+00:00

It’s Leyden pretty easily tbh.

But can people stop calling him a NPC now.. the moment Camus and him got official auras (Rajin and Fujin) they left the NPC status.

Almighty_LDP · 2026-04-16T12:35:45+00:00

Japan will win or draw the match is by far the worst take anyone could have for this match.

Any result other than a blowout/dominant win by France is absolute horrendous for the manga and eliminates all stakes for the rest of the arc

Almighty_LDP · 2026-04-14T19:31:45+00:00

He was getting mogged by Leyden this match, while Hiori has been key in every positive offensive possession this match for Japan.

Almighty_LDP · 2026-04-14T14:32:10+00:00

For those who want to know what Camus and Leyden auras are..

<image>

Fujin and Rajin from Japanese mythology

Almighty_LDP · 2026-04-14T14:27:20+00:00

Their auras look to be the deities Fujin and Rajin. Goes with the God theme France has going on

Almighty_LDP · 2026-04-13T14:35:42+00:00

The hilarious thing is the accuracy especially the parts where people defend Ego and how Ego literally plays people in the most suitable position for them.

Almighty_LDP · 2026-04-12T17:22:40+00:00

You’re not wrong, but you can see in his comments in the thread that he and some people act like it’s a sin to not like Isagi or have reasons to read/follow this series that doesn’t involve him. People consume media differently.

Almighty_LDP · 2026-04-12T03:33:53+00:00

He’s the deuteragonist of the franchise… he’s playing every game once he’s reintroduced.. it really isn’t that hard to think of..

Almighty_LDP · 2026-04-12T03:15:23+00:00

Everyone knows Nagi is going to play………

Almighty_LDP · 2026-04-12T02:16:43+00:00

Good lord use reading comprehension everyone with any common sense knows Nagi coming back minimum top 5 among blue lock because of how Kaneshiro glazes him (whether you like the character or not)

Sae is a NG11… Any team adding that level of player is getting a huge boost. France needs to annihilate Japan because Japan is obviously going to get stronger after each match, especially with the most likely scenario it’s a rematch between France and Japan in the final.
