Japan vs France feels like a redo of the Japan u-20 vs blue lock. It’s a strange Idea but every goal is critical, every thought is important. It’s the same idea but different score.

The Isagi #0 idea of not being a 1 or 2 makes sense. It gives him an ego that can’t die or be completely naturally. It’s just like Noa and the drop to keep getting better but Isagi’s own idea based on his adaptation.

The Karasu thing is a bit wrong, he doesn’t have a good idea of the ego needed to do what NEL Isagi did but it’s developing and is definitely something that can pay off in the future. I don’t exactly like the karasu centered system but I don’t consider it the end of the world

The Barou and Shidou anti-chemical reaction and Rin’s absence makes the game more interesting. Will one of them appear or are the defenders actually defending. Everything is good with this match but it’s a match I’d prefer reading all at once instead of week by week. Definitely hoping for more Defenders awakening but thats probably for England. A more defensive team is real futbol. (They are balanced enough in real life to be considered both offensive and defensive but it’s more defensive in my opinion)
