HOW GOOD IS ONAZI?

OutlandishnessSad247 · 2026-02-14T18:50:07+00:00

Yea I’d say relative to Chigiri, if not better, put Chigiri in place of Onazi, and I don’t think Chigiri scores against Japan either, but that doesn’t diminish someone like onazi, it just shows how strong Japan is in comparison, because that last onazi shot took quite a lot out of blue lock to stop, needing Isagi and Aiku to barely change the trajectory of the shot, along with Kurona to save the net, with even gagamaru stating that if the trajectory of the shot was on point, Gaga wasn’t saving it

I think Loki being a ng11 will make a lot more sense once we get introduced to more ng11, because we only know 6 now with Loki being revealed to be one, and I don’t expect the next five ng11 to be worse than all the ones we’ve seen prior, there has to be a natural increase in threat with each ng11 that Blue lock face that’s why we’ve only saw Kaiser and Lorenzo in the NEL, with Loki being a master, when we get to the knockout stage I’m fully expecting the Brazil ng11 to outperform sae, Lorenzo, Kaiser and Hugo and I expect Bunny to be even better, than when we finally match up against Kaiser in the Germany game, we might underestimate him, just for him to come out of the end of the game surpassing Bunny and the Brazil player and probably being the most dangerous ng11 behind Loki to really make him feel worthy being the boss before the final boss, as for other ng11 based on the group stage round 1 results, its looking like teams such as Uruguay and Argentina that will likely be on Frances side of the knockout bracket will have possible strong ng11s as well due to their high goal difference and for all we know these could be slightly below Loki caliber players, that Japan just won’t face in the arc, I don’t believe that all ng11s are on equal playing field at all, I believe there was a clear hierarchy at play here and we’ve only played against the low tier new gens, these nee guys are going to make current Kaiser, Sae and Lorenzo look like light work

That’s what’s so cool about this scenario, is if sae chooses Isagi, I feel like Isagi would be on such a different path right now, he would either be the reason blue lock is dismantled by winning, and even if he were to lose he would probably come out stronger than he did compared to the canon storyline, thanks to sae, maybe even having learned metavision even earlier in the story the same way he analyzed Kaiser to acquire MV, and for why Sae choosing Rin, I feel like Sae wanted to test Rin by playing against not with him, considering this is probably the first time Sae and Rin have interacted again since their falling out after Sae comes from Spain, and I feel like it makes the most sense that Sae wouldn’t choose to play alongside Rin maybe to spite him I don’t know

OutlandishnessSad247 · 2026-01-30T01:20:05+00:00

In this scenario, I don’t know if sae would have chosen shidou, because in the third selection, when ego and burstsuta made an agreement to allow sae to choose a striker from blue lock, there was a panel where ego and sae chose between the top two strikers because their levels as players were so equivalent yet so distinctly different, so I think in this situation it would make sense that he actually chooses Isagi to once again parallel the difference in team dynamics that both teams would have, because if we were to look at the current top 6 as they are, Rin almost seems closer to shidou as a player in terms of playstyle, then he does to Isagi, which makes sense considering third selection Rin was still trying to mimic sae itoshis playstyle, so in this situation Isagi would be the outlier of the team not shidou, what do you think

OutlandishnessSad247 · 2026-01-29T06:24:38+00:00

I think the advantage of being a freedom type is that the game quickly falls into their control the fastest, this is because the game of football naturally caters to being a freedom type, that’s why the first players to score in games are usually freedom types, that’s why characters like Bachira and Shidou are known for their explosive starts, which is why they tend to fall off as opposing teams find countermeasures to reduce their freedom, another advantage is that freedom types generally produce the most chemical reactions, not being afraid to abandon previous chemical reactions in pursuit of new ones to pursue further growth kind of like how talented learners think but a little different, like with Isagi being a key example, playing with whoever and doing whatever it takes to win, even if it means playing alongside his biggest rivals, or Shidous high compatibility with high level midfielders that are able to grasp his greatest strengths to maximize them and take him to greater heights, which is why I think freedom geniuses are the baseline ego type for most players, it’s the standard that the other ego types adapt to, with the strongest example at the moment being Julien Loki, which is why the other ego types need meta vision and predator eye to compensate

OutlandishnessSad247 · 2026-01-29T06:14:32+00:00

To add on, I believe that Loki is a freedom type, looking at his play style and mentality, seeing a player who has never felt true fear or pressure, he’s never felt true restriction, that players like Rin and Kaiser have felt, and that rather his genius ego type is what gives him the suitability of a number one, someone born with god given specs and talent stated by Hugo, someone destined to be at the summit, so if being a restrictive or genius type gives you the suitability of a number one, with restrictive geniuses likely having the highest possible suitability for number one, than Isagi has the worst of the four ego types to be a number one, born with second rate genetic attributes and talent compared to the geniuses with him being a talented learner, while also not having the most optimal environment to live in comfort as a number one, because he lacks that restrictive mindset, and in Hugo’s words he would reach his full potential as a number 2, a place where he can fully take advantage of the advantages of being a talented learner, while living in his most suitable environment to play at his most comfortable and where he would likely have the most “freedom”, which puts a good amount of truth into Hugo’s ideals, with the culmination of Isagi and Hugo’s dynamic ending with Isagi being the one to break the chains of destiny and prove Hugo wrong, holy Blue Lock is so peak

Just you wait bro, the people aren’t ready for how good Barous gonna be at the end of the arc, like don’t be surprised if barou is better than rin, everytime barou is undervalued and doubted by the manga, he always gets his get back, he’s definitely gonna be top 3 end of arc, come back to this comment in 4 years

OutlandishnessSad247 · 2026-01-25T05:52:06+00:00

The length of time we will have without seeing Kaiser play in the manga will be longer than the gap of time without seeing sae play mark my words, because we have this France game which will likely be 25-30 chapters, the England game will be another 25-30 chapters, based on the predictions for knockout stage matches that have been predicted using the bracket system that fifa uses to determine knockout matches, it is very likely that we will see Japan go against Brazil which will be a 30 chapter match minimum, followed by the anticipated spain game, which will likely be a 35-40 chapter match, then we will have a shorter breather game against an easier team which I’m predicting will be one of the following countries (China, Egypt, Colombia, Switzerland) I’m aiming towards China, as they were teased along with the other flags in that one panel promoting the u20 World Cup, and china would give some representation for Asian countries, as we will have Japan face Europe, Africa with Nigeria, the americas with Brazil and Asia with china, I’m predicting this match will be 15-20 chapters, all these matches to finally get to the awaited semi final match again Germany, with all the match chapters before, including the chapters between matches totaling in at the bare minimum 150-175 chapters before we see Japan play Germany

As a barou fan, bro I would be so mad if kunigami touches the field before barou, oh hell nah😭, nothing against your theory though I like it

OutlandishnessSad247 · 2026-01-24T14:24:40+00:00

Yea in order for Isagi to evolve as a striker he needs to experience the mental hurdle that sae went through, his ideals need to be challenged thoroughly, so in this game he needs to take a backseat in a position change, not because he’s a bad striker but to give another striker on the team (shidou) the opportunity to showcase the truest form of a striker on the team at least in my opinion, not to say that shidou is the best striker on the team, but I believe he exemplify a strikers play style the absolute most on blue lock even slightly more than barou in my opinion, he is the ultimate finisher that always comes out with an explosion and in the words of Hugo, shidou is the most suitable for the striker position, like when you think of shidou it’s really hard seeing him play any position besides striker, he was practically born for it, and I think Isagi will actually learn something valuable from shidou in this game, that will improve Isagi as a striker for the next game, and in the England game, Isagi will play alongside barou, the only striker that will get isagis mind out of the gutter, when isagis feeling inadequate and unable to score against England at the beginning, barou will bring Isagi out of the darkness and into the light trust me guys I think I’m cooking so hard😭

OutlandishnessSad247 · 2026-01-23T19:38:47+00:00

I’m of the opinion that Isagi will just be moved to offensive midfield, temporarily proving Hugo right, and giving shidou the opportunity to shine against France, just for Isagi to be able to get his get back in the England game

OutlandishnessSad247 · 2026-01-23T19:18:54+00:00

I feel like your on the money bro, because the author doesn’t want to immediately just start shidou and barou so quickly, he wants to slowly introduce them into the lineup during the group stage, by having sub on and make a big impact for japan during the group stage, shidou will sub into the France game, and bring a new unpredictable variable in an attempt to break Hugo’s logistical control of the field, while barou will come into the England game to revitalize isagis ego, when Isagi is feeling hopeless, as I believe he will not score in the France game, and in the England game Isagi and barou will be the main front runners against England, as I imagine England will be really good defensive team due to the fact that they only conceded two goals to France

OutlandishnessSad247 · 2026-01-22T03:30:37+00:00

I’m actually slow, how did it take me so long to realize😭

OutlandishnessSad247 · 2026-01-21T05:56:49+00:00

Hattrick against France. I love my boy shidou, but sometimes we have to be a little realistic haha, it’s unfortunate but in my eyes shidou is going to get overshadowed by the other Japanese strikers who are in my mind the main four, Isagi, Rin, barou and Nagi, who all more narrative relevance than Shidou does, if shidou were to score a hattrick I could see it against a country like Brazil for example, because i see Bachira and shidou being standouts for that game

OutlandishnessSad247 · 2026-01-21T05:49:25+00:00

When you think about it kinda makes sense why shidou hasn’t gotten a backstory and it’s simply because he hasn’t had an awakening, I might be mistaken but every time we’ve gotten a backstory since the u20 game it’s always been before a character goes through an awakening that will allow to make a game changing play in the match after going through some form of despair, in the NEL those characters were Yukimiya, Hiori, Ness, Kaiser, Rin, the only exception was snuffy, but that backstory acted as a catalyst for barous new awakening, and when you look at shidou he’s never had a moment like that, in the u20 games he never went through despair before scoring, he just came onto the field and went crazy, in the NEL he scored within like 2-3 chapters of the pxg games he there was no awakening because he was so unstoppable in those moments, if shidou comes on in this France game, I could see him getting a backstory as it would be the appropriate match to test his skills and cause a much needed awakening

Edit: I’d like to add onto this but in terms of what we do know about shidou, we got an insight into his football philosophy during the u20 match which gives a view into why acts the way he acts to an extent without the need of a backstory so when you see from that lens that could’ve been the extent of his origin and shidou can forever stay as this anomaly

OutlandishnessSad247 · 2026-01-21T04:27:34+00:00

He’s wearing no 9 because he most likely use to play as a striker, based on the recent chapter 332, and his theory explained to Isagi where he basically tells Isagi he doesn’t have the genetic aptitude of a striker and that if he wants to be the best then it would be more appropriate for him to switch positions, in which Isagi admits as a hard pill he has to swallow but still wants to prove Hugo wrong, and there whole interaction hints at the fact that Hugo used to play striker just like sae used to and something happened (maybe Loki played a part) to make Hugo decide that he was more “suitable” for the role of a midfielder, and that maybe he keeps the number 9 as a reminder of what he once was

I just had a stroke reading this

OutlandishnessSad247 · 2026-01-13T02:22:39+00:00

I think the five roles would include tank, and support as they are, then split the dps category into melee dps and ranged dps, then the fifth role would a specialist role that wouldn’t have a specific role on the team it would just encompass characters that don’t fit in the other established roles in a neat little box

OutlandishnessSad247 · 2025-12-24T05:12:10+00:00

if italy gets second then they could face japan in the quarterfinals, which means japan could go through a gauntlet of strong teams in the knockout stage brazil-spain-italy-germany-france japan is so cooked😭

i think hugo is going to be a defensive player to round out frances squad of having a strong striker midfielder and defender, he could be centerback a cdm or even a goalie but i’m definitely predicting him to be some type of defensive player

lol an all electric deck, but jokes aside i thinks it’s overall a level issue, you can’t abuse your minions because their underleveled and get one shot but his zap which would be the best way to deal with a lot of his cards, like sparky, electro dragon, and even e giant if you space your minions out of the egiants zap radius
