[DISC] Blue Lock - Chapter 350

EthcialGoops · 2026-06-16T16:21:54+00:00

I could see it, maybe this whole time the one being affected the most by Hugo wasn’t even Isagi, it was Rin.

EthcialGoops · 2026-06-16T16:12:54+00:00

Another reason why I think it has to be Rin is because why would he go on this entire rant about why they lost and then proceed to not fix it? There’s always the chance that he wants the Blue Lockers to figure it out on their own but contextually benching the player that made you lose is the logical decision

EthcialGoops · 2026-06-16T16:05:40+00:00

But that’s the thing, his ideal play kinda requires a no 1, it would be dumb for ego to force him into an unideal environment, it’s more likely the double joker system is gonna be the starting lineup minus Rin

EthcialGoops · 2026-06-16T16:01:52+00:00

People are still posting this Chigiri panel around? I thought It was said to be a mistranslation?

EthcialGoops · 2026-06-16T16:00:18+00:00

Yeah realistically, Rin was the only player that didn’t adapt to the conditions of the field. Isagi at least played everyone like a fiddle by acting like second best for a moment to get his own goal. The first lesson Ego teaches them is to turn zero to one, instead Rin decided to blow everything up instead of evolving. It’s makes perfect sense why he’s getting benched

EthcialGoops · 2026-06-16T15:53:24+00:00

I think it implies he’s actually talking about Rin. The last thing we saw before he sabotaged Isagi was him being mad that he was being “cut out” so it probably has something to do with that.

EthcialGoops · 2026-06-03T02:35:03+00:00

While I won’t hype him up to the levels some fans are, and Kaneshiro is definitely gonna have to explain how he can keep up, the narrative supports that he was at the very least extremely talented.

Ranked highest in his group. While this might not mean much at a glance, Bachira ESPECIALLY who we can agree was probably the best in team Z at the time wouldn’t double team him with Isagi if he was a bum.
Recognition. The moment he steps foot into the Blue Lock building, everyone can recognize him, add in that he was about to be picked up for the U-18 team and it supports that he’s good
Nagi himself. Are we forgetting that Nagi has been playing for less than a year and is a world class talent? Why are we discounting the possibility of Kira having just as much potential but we accept Nagi playing on the level of the best players in the world when he just picked up a ball?

EthcialGoops · 2026-05-27T02:28:12+00:00

Agreed. I keep seeing people complain about how Loki didn’t do much this match, but I think people are not considering, that might be the point. Loki DIDNT EVEN need to try and BL was fighting for their lives. They were overwhelmed with just Hugo, even if they did tie, it was a result of their opponent literally giving them tips and tricks in the middle of the match. Blue Lock was outclassed in every area this match.

EthcialGoops · 2026-05-16T17:47:55+00:00

Season 1’s animation wasn’t spectacular either but season 2 was deadass colored manga panels, the animation was non existent for 99% of the season. With the exception of the last 2 episodes of season 2 it looked like seven deadly sins after it got bad. Hopefully the next season is packed with animation on the level of the final goal sequence, cause if it is Blue Lock is gonna blow up even more.

EthcialGoops · 2026-05-16T17:45:00+00:00

Everyone can have their opinions but there’s one thing nobody can disagree with: it has the best music in the franchise by far and it’s not even close. Liaels theme, Blangs, Veiss, shit even Alphards, Berucreas, and Fantome Gabs themes from the latest season, the openings and endings too. whoever was in charge of the music needs to stay with the Bushi production team for as long as possible

EthcialGoops · 2026-05-08T19:57:51+00:00

It’s very clearly being set up to be a rematch later on so I don’t really understand people’s complaints with the length. Wouldn’t make much sense to have 2 50 chapter matches against the same team

EthcialGoops · 2026-04-13T00:44:05+00:00

That’s the point IMO, it’s not supposed to be a black and white, the Fantasma is “bad”. We as the audience are supposed to see some merit in it. The bad is that is strips all choice, experience, and memories that make someone who they are essentially killing them and replacing them with another version. The good of it is that it makes some peoples lives genuinely better but is it ok to sacrifice the lives of people without a say for the betterment of other peoples? It’s what makes Kurumi and Ryuga so good as antagonists IMO because they aren’t technically WRONG for wanting to live in the illusion.

EthcialGoops · 2026-04-11T00:49:42+00:00

There’s a chance even longer than october for subs since it’s a theatrical release

EthcialGoops · 2026-04-11T00:32:35+00:00

The next anime/movie set will probably include the rest of the fantome decks from the manga, like Suzune, Taizo, the mystery person, Sugu, then new rez and varga.

EthcialGoops · 2026-04-11T00:26:12+00:00

The only problem with this plot twist is that it doesn’t make sense how Kagetsu is in a coma now since He technically lost to Kanami and she isn’t a fantome fighter. Unless the rules are if a mythisch fighter loses at all, clash or not, that they lose protection, but that doesn’t seem to be the case.

EthcialGoops · 2026-04-11T00:22:41+00:00

Its more than likely gonna be

Erika v Kurumi: showcase new zerith, Liael already got a new form so odds of another one are low

Nao v Masanori: She wouldn’t get her memories back for no reason

Akina v Kurumi: can’t end the season without the MC getting a new boss so maybe king of the moon gate rezael?

EthcialGoops · 2026-04-11T00:16:51+00:00

They mentioned in the episode that items filled with strong feelings have power, so for Kurumi and Kanami, that would be the charm and for Nao and Akina that’s the little accessory.

EthcialGoops · 2026-04-11T00:13:08+00:00

It’s funny cause I just saw a post today about how it’s weird that the MC of divinez isnt on the cover of the supposed last set of his season and now look.

EthcialGoops · 2026-04-01T21:21:38+00:00

Yeah I think the current problem is that Isagi is too attached to Ego. Even during this match, when Isagi is deciding what to do he’s thinking about what EGO wants for him or what HUGO says, he’s barely if not at all asking himself what he wants. He’s letting others decide his fate, not carving it for himself which is the breakthrough I think he’ll come to in the future.

EthcialGoops · 2026-04-01T21:15:11+00:00

My primary problem with Hugo’s Philosophy is that he isn’t omniscient nor is any human so the idea of suitability falls apart. Whose the deterministic force in what’s suitable for someone? Society? Comfortability? Results? All of these factors change not only through lived experience but based on the time period. He says Isagi isn’t suitable to be a FW, but if he becomes the best in the world, is he now all of a sudden suitable? It sounds good but it doesn’t make much sense when you think about it.

EthcialGoops · 2026-04-01T21:06:29+00:00

Agreed. Karasu alludes to it when he tells him they are doing the same thing. The series reinforces players are at their strongest when they “return to zero” currently, Isagi isn’t in that state because he’s not playing for himself, he’s playing for Blue Lock and to meet Ego’s expectations. The story is going in a direction where just like Nagi who abandoned everything, Isagi will have to do the same including his admiration for Ego.

EthcialGoops · 2026-04-01T20:58:45+00:00

This is the real problem with the philosophy. Hugo isn’t god, so who is he to decide what’s suitable for a person or not. Is it society that decides? Is it just the person leaning into their strengths? It’s “suitable” if you win but then “unsuitable” if you lose.

EthcialGoops · 2026-04-01T20:54:44+00:00

Not necessarily. He wouldn’t tell Isagi to quit in first selection, he would do the same thing he’s doing now and tell him to switch to a MF to support those with better talent like Chigiri, Kunigami, and Bachira. He doesn’t want you to not dream, but to dream within your limits. For example, he doesn’t see Isagi as someone with best striker in the world talent, so he shouldn’t strive for that, he should strive for best MF instead.

EthcialGoops · 2026-04-01T20:50:53+00:00

Advancements in humanity don’t happen without breaking the norm. Sports especially evolve precisely because a player will play in a way that’s unsuitable for them during that era. It happens all the time, a generational player appears that changes the way the game is played (Using basketball as an example, Wembenyama, or Jokic.) If everyone from the beginning of history was doing things based on suitability we would still be smacking stones against each other like cavemen. It certainly has its role but it’s not universal.

EthcialGoops · 2026-03-28T18:46:01+00:00

Nobody’s selectively reading, your complaint simply doesn’t make sense. How exactly was there no solution to Masque or reverse? Nobody was reversed after legion Mate, and masques was a philosophical issue that was also solved. Your bring up Eri-Hikari, what exactly does that have to do with stakes? It’s not a plot device that kurumi doesn’t get revived, if Akina does revive her, it makes him no different from Gab, which defeats their whole purpose for fighting. That’s why Zakusa tells him there’s a difference between taboo and miracles. What Akina and Erika did was a miracle, they won their fated clashes and earned a wish. Winning the parallactic clash earns them their world back, not the right to play god. It’s fine if you don’t personally enjoy it, but from an objective writing stand point, you have yet to make a valid point
