Blue Lock Vol. 19

ブルーロック [Blue Lock] #19

by Muneyuki Kaneshiro, Yusuke Nomura (Artist)

After a disastrous defeat at the 2018 World Cup, Japan's team struggles to regroup. But what's missing? An absolute Ace Striker, who can guide them to the win. The Japan Football Union is hell-bent on creating a striker who hungers for goals and thirsts for victory, and who can be the decisive instrument in turning around a losing match…and to do so, they've gathered 300 of Japan's best and brightest youth players. Who will emerge to lead the team…and will they be able to out-muscle and out-ego everyone who stands in their way?  Blue Lock Phase Neo Egotist League has begun!! In Bastard München's match against Spain's FC Barcha, Isagi is astonished to see Bachira's new and improved play style in action. Meanwhile, his teammates, the wildcard-survivor Kunigami and “genius” Kaiser, display skills that far surpass Isagi's own. How will Isagi prove his worth in the midst of such incredible players…?!

kaiser haters are the weakest link in society, i feel.

i hate kaiser more than i hated binding 13 and if you see my review of it you KNOW i HAAAATED IT. i hate him so sososoososososo fucking badly and every time i see someone say he's the love of their lives i fucking die inside like GIRLLL WHERE. ARE YOUR FUCKING STANDARDS!!!!

genuinely kaiser's presence makes me so mad. he ruins blue lock as a franchise for me, honestly. i want more of the other teams's povs because they get to train and live WITHOUT FUCKING KAISER.

anyways, kunigami. oh my god. i will NEVER forgive ego and wildcard and everything else because ohmyfuckinggodddd. and yet these little cracks seem to push through, or maybe i'm clinging on to his pre-w.c. personality. god we're losing him and it's shattering my heart and soul.

داستان خوبه ولی هنوز شروع کاره. تا اوج هیجان و لذت خیلی جا داره و بهش امید دارم چون می‌دونم کارشو بلده.
فعلا از حضور ستاره‌های جهان لذت می‌برم. راستی چقدر اینکه رفرنس‌های گل‌ها و شخصیت‌ها و حرکات رو می‌گیرم لذت‌بخشه. فوتبال دیدن یه جا به دردمون خورد.

This truly was our kaisagi lock

[fulcrum · Rating 4 out of 5]

i have to give isagi credit: his resilience in the face of failure is something else. i would’ve crumbled on the field, but he keeps adapting and showing even the most arrogant bastards (see what i’m doing here?) that they can still be outplayed.

the new characters are already so compelling. kaiser and ness, i’ve been waiting for you both for so long, and now that you’re here, there’s no chance i’ll be normal about it!

what stays with me most though, is the bond between isagi and bachira. even as rivals, even pulled in different directions, they never turn bitter. no cruelty and no cheap shots. just a warm promise to grow stronger on their own, and to meet again not as enemies, but as equals. to play football that matters and that feels like joy. i don’t think isagi shares that kind of warmth with anyone else.

god this series is the best thing that ever happened to me

[Saba · Rating 5 out of 5]

آرت بلولاک خیلی زیباست و داستانش هایپم میکنه🔥

باچیرا یه حرف خیلی قشنگی زد. فکر کنم باید یادم بمونه، چون تصمیم گیری و انتخاب راه درست برای من خیلی سخته. اما این حرفش باعث میشه کمتر overthink کنم.

I fear Kaiser started growing on me a little. I can't help but like a douchebag ig
Also, I really don't enjoy the members of Isagi's current team. Why did he get all the rejects and none of the fun, cool people?
And separating from the ✨️osha✨️ guy just to end up with an emo variant is diabolical

ISAGIIIIIII THE GOAT

[mikaela (spinebreaker) · Rating 5 out of 5]

reread 12.13.24
Kaiser impact reminds me why he's my #2 overall (no one can beat Shidou)
Kuni main character moment😭 kaneshiro wasted your story, hero 😭

original review
Big emotions. Concerned that Bachira learned to speak in emojis like Shidou the OG bad role model. Nothing else because everything I want to say is a spoiler.

isagi god

[Kaitlyn]

4.5/5
Barcha is nothing but vibes 😮‍💨

Great book got really good at the end

[Mary · Rating 5 out of 5]

Bachira!! I love him so much! I’m not sure how I feel about Kaiser yet.

[Jess Shumaker · Rating 4 out of 5]

Bachira's nickname being "BEE" is so stinking cute.

[Magdalena Jaduri · Rating 4 out of 5]

más lento que los anteriores pero igual demora que expliquen la nueva fase, anyway tkm bachira

hmmm im sensing a toxic yaoi vibes from kaiser and ness

[Kaitlynne · Rating 5 out of 5]

Picasso and Ruiz cannot possibly be in the same age bracket as the rest of them, stop LYING to me.

Dancing Bee... I'm cackling. It's so fitting though

Everytime Isagi is so shocked when some other player/team/whatever is better than him, I am shocked. Because, really?

Also, that shot on page ~170 was SO exciting to watch

[BookManiac · Rating 4 out of 5]

4.5/5.

A fun, explosive volume as we see our first match in this new arc and Isagi is pushed to his limits. We see some great new strikers, some within his reach and some still far from it, and realize the real scope of this arc. This volume shows how far Isagi still has to go, and I'm excited to see it...

[Alex · Rating 5 out of 5]

ooh this match was good but idk it feels like need something? idk

bachira the best like always

and the master forwards were soo cool

im not a fan of kaiser & nees but i guess that will change in the future

i need to see whats next for isagi and the pass he did

this was 4.5 i think
