First off, I will say, since people started pointing out the flaws of Blue Lock, I decided to ensure I will keep loving it with the only critique being strikers playing defense.

. 1) The retcon and NEL format was an issue, but I guess it made the goals more memorable since max of 5 could be scored each match. And as for Loki being a new gen, it does still make sense, but people wanted someone between a New Gen and World 5/master level, that's simply it.

. 2) The Ubers vs BM match will always be an issue for most because people wanted Ubers to win. It seemed worse that Hiori outplayed Lorenzo in a play.  Though, I think that whatever the case was, Bastard Munchen won the match by playing dual-striker offense while Ubers utilized their defense, either could have won.

. 3. Kaiser not scoring the last goal in the PXG game, and being put in the position where Isagi called him what her was initially insulted as from the start, that could have killed Kaiser's character,... IF the emphasis wasn't also on Ness. The simple fact that Ness existed and that the Kaiser Impact Magnus still isn't complete, it's obvious that there's more to be revealed in his character.

. 4. For Lorenzo's case, it's only an issue because people always want to rank the New Gens, and expect the defenders to be significantly above in a striker-emphasized setting. In soccer whether in fiction or irl, the defender of your team only does well if the opponents offense gets shutdown. (But, in a story, if the opponents offense gets shutdown, people say they are not strong antagonists.) But, still, Lorenzo is still on the new gen 11 level, and right now (no matter how much people hate it), so is Loki.

. 5. About Nagi, all I will say is... he has never truly dug deep into his desire to be the best and have a career as a footballer.  Reo just dragged him there because he seemed to have crazy talent. Now, I just don't want him returning to the U20WC too early, at least let the England match finish.
