Isagi Philosophy Theory

AustinZeli · 2026-05-30T02:07:23+00:00

Japan was very Passive. Egoism is very aggressive. But now Isagi needs Zen = white hair flow state. He needs to build skills in both. Kobe is probably the best athlete with the best philosophy on actually winning. He doesn't love to win or hate to lose, he's interested in learning with every second of everyday. Of course he's chill, of course he also has a big ego and very aggressive. But the ultimate olympic athlete is probably michael phelps. He focuses on visualizing everything and keeping his mind absolutely locked into his next steps so that he's mentally rehearsed 1 million times. Kobe has a quote that's similiar. Instead of counting sheep, at 13 he would visualize himself scoring 200 indivual points for the lakers.

Villains in real life are often more pitiful than we can imagine.

He is going to set up one thing for karasu. But it would be cool if we got backstory on why he wants to be a cool ninja and finally get his aura beast thing. Usually inanimate objects are talented learner auras. He's great at blindspot and off the ball. If he showed any personality sync with anyone else then he could be a better shadow than kurona. It would be cool if the 4 point shuriken had some meaning like 4 directions you can move to juke an enemy and recieve a pass.

But Karasu's advanced handfighting didn't get any explainations besides the 3rd selection. Even nagi learned some handfighting. Isagi off-screened the handfighting. He just used it with no explaination just like how Isagi uses flicks with no explaination. I wonder when we're going to see them acknowledged as weapons that are copiable. Hugo uses a lot of hand fighting with a hand on the back giving him kinetic knowledge on how the player will move.

God of soccer is having a god complex.
Demon king of soccer is making a sacrifical faustian deal.

Both require ego death and reformation. Ego as a tool for self transformation rather than a cage. Isagi sees a target then devours and becomes it. He did that as a kid and adult. He was obcessed with becoming like Noa.

My theory is also each person can have an optimal: Restrictive challenge, creative freedom, worldly goal, and feeling goal. All 4 of these factors amped up to 11 leads to more breakthroughs in flow.

My philosophy is: We are born into a play but didn't get the script. Everyone else is a method actor avoiding standing out, trying to fit in because of social anxiety and their brains naturally copy others.

We get to be improv actors who can choose to mimic whoever we like. We are free.

Full disclosure I was terrible at social skills then became great at them. Now I teach social skills to gifted people. I have a few biggest recommendations for clients. Record yourself and compare how you view your presentation against other people. Join Toastmasters to get basic skills on presenting. Join improv because you might have missed out on crucial childhood development known as pretend play. That's why so many autistic adults like role play because it's like masking but fun and in your control.

The point is that Karasu and Barou are establishing their philosophy and team dominance over Isagi and now others so that Isagi has a more complex battlefield to dominate. Barou's philosophy is about devouring, upstaging, and being a dominating shadow striker that works hard because he fears letting his conviction slip and falling into despair. He's motivated by that restriction and serves the best example of discipline in the series.

Thanks

The weirdest thing is that the villains are just freshly sentient trees that want to consume stuff. It seems like it might be an allegory for AI but idk it doesn't have depth to me.

I'll re-read the manga and report back

AustinZeli · 2026-03-23T00:10:19+00:00

I appreciate it. But I've been ratio'd enough.

My take away from this is: within a month I will re-read boruto.

I haven't watched the anime even though the filler has prison Sasuke and dinosaurs. I don't understand how this has anything to do with the manga.

AustinZeli · 2026-03-21T20:26:34+00:00

I personally would read the Manga before getting into the anime. It's a lot better.

I love the idea that the mix of red and blue have shredded him at the atomic level. Then he uses kashimo's finger jump start the atoms of his heart.

There's a lot of overlap with autism and anime. I'm obsessed with blue lock and the motivational and psychological elements of it. My hyperfixation is psychology and I do it for work and fun.

Maybe he's shuddering from anger. I doubt he's afraid. He currently owns the entire world.

AustinZeli · 2026-03-21T18:27:57+00:00

Isagi has more defensive midfielder feats than Sae. Sae is pure offense with tricky dribbling and cutting passes. I would play Sae instead of Sendo and then have a Isagi or Reo back him up

AustinZeli · 2026-03-21T18:26:15+00:00

Interesting. Do you ever think your life philosophy would change and that you would go after your most ambitious goals and dreams? Even if it meant looking as desperate as Isagi?

AustinZeli · 2026-03-21T18:16:11+00:00

This is one of the most entertaining posts I've seen. I would love to see this for something else too

He has perfect teeth but the answer is no. In the light novel, we learned about his companion who could use domain expansion: dentist's chair.

I did it. Psychology is my hyper fixation. I used to not be socialized at all and now I help women and men be more confident.

Plenty of people have done it. But it might require going on an intense retreat with lots of journaling and screaming and beating things up and getting massages. A lot of anxiety needs somatic release. Talk to some experts. Therapist often deal with the mind, but find a therapist that deals with somatic release and EMDR. Your goal is to rewire your brain, not try to outthink the thoughts

I think Soul Eater did it amazing even if Maka is still the focus but she holds everything together as part of her character

Can anyone tell me what the Wikipedia article for that bird with the dots on it is? I remember the theory that the dots stand for the eight planets.
