COULD YOU IMPROVISE TO SURVIVE?

The curtain finally rises on the Blue Lock Eleven versus U-20 Japan game. Deprived of their wild-card striker, Shidou, the Blue Lock Eleven must find a way to break through the ironclad defense of the so-called "diamond generation." Individual battles play out across the field as the Itoshi brothers revisit old rivalries and Isagi goes head-to-head with a fellow "reflexive thinker" on the opposing team...

مسابقه بین بازیکنای بلو لاک و تیم ملی ژاپن تا اینجای کار جذاب بوده و امیدوارم همینطوری بره جلو.
توانایی مانگاکا توی هندل کردن کارکترها پیشرفت کرده و راضیم.

The Japan U-20 match is really entertaining as expected! The Itoshi sibling rivalry is now on centre stage, with every mid-match interaction escalating the tension between them. I want Rin to surpass his older brother so badly, that way Sae can acknowledge his talent and (hopefully) reconcile their relationship! Proud of the Blue Lock boys for holding their own so far, and can’t wait to see how the match will end.

This has probably been the volume I have enjoyed and loved the most in the whole story. I really love this story very much. Soccer has always been my favorite sport and that's why I have loved from beginning to end this manga. The characters have evolved so much and I have loved every single one of them. Isagi is by far my favorite character, but Chigiri is the love of my life. I love everything in this story and need so much more. And this is probably my new favorite manga ever.

Verdadera maldita literatura 🚬
El gol de Nagi... simplemente no hay palabras, que buen tomo. Me alegro de leerlo luego de ver la animación porque me remueve mucho más las emociones. Los siguientes tomos van a ser INCREÍBLESSSSSS

“the one who’s the most coordinated with my best plays… it’s gotta be isagi! i love you, buddy. we’ll smash ‘em with bachira-isagi combo!”
“he broke through the rear! you really are perfect bachira! i believe in your dribbling more than anyone.”
ahhhh, love love. 🐝🌱

captain oliver aiku is hot.
i suppose isagi agrees, because why else would he ask this man to put a collar on him?

"I'd been looking down on you guys... ... But I was wrong!! All of you want nothing...but to forge your destinies with your own hands... You're a bunch...of hungry beasts..."

I don’t know what’s crazier: the first half of the Blue Lock vs. U-20 match; or the fact that we’re 100+ chapters into a sports manga and we’re just now talking positions and strategy.

No, wait. It’s definitely the match. The beginning of this volume officially kicks off the long awaited U-20 match with a Bachira-Isagi combo - and never lets off the gas. I was so hyped the entire volume. It’s so fun to see the Blue Lock Eleven actually work together for once, after all this time of them fighting tooth and nail during the Selections.

But we also get to see that the U-20 team isn’t going to be so easy to beat, either. Itoshi Sae and Aiku Oliver show that they’re going to be the ones to beat if Blue Lock wants any hope of winning this match. Sae is very cool, but I’m ready to see a side of Rin that we’ve yet to experience. Go wild, Itoshi Rin!

Ce manga, j’attends toujours la sortie du prochain tome. J’en veux encore et encore, vraiment ce manga c’est une véritable pépite. Chaque tome est aussi bon que le précédent. Il n’y a aucun moment où on se lasse et il y a toujours des rebondissements. Le rythme est parfaitement bien mené et j’aime tellement lorsque l’on a des matchs, je trouve ça passionnant. Ce tome ci je l’attendais avec grande impatience, on a enfin pu voir le match qui oppose l’équipe du Blue Lock à l’équipe des U20 du Japon! J’en ai pris plein les yeux et c’était tout simplement génial.

Dans ce quatorzième tome, le match tant attendu opposant le onze du Blue Lock à la sélection japonaise des moins de 20 ans débute enfin ! Cette redoutable équipe se targue de posséder une défense infranchissable centrée sur leur capitaine, Aiku. Les attaquants du Blue Lock, privés de Shidô, parviendront-ils à transpercer les filets adverses au péril de leur carrière ? Pour cela, il leur faudra réagir face aux actions extraordinaires de Sae Itoshi, un meneur de jeu d’une autre dimension !

Ce tome ci a été, encore une fois, une vraie pépite. Je ne me lasserais jamais de cette histoire, je suis bien trop passionné pour ça. Déjà que je suis une grande passionnée de foot, pensez-vous qu’un manga qui parle d’une histoire de foot, je ne peux qu’être à fond dedans! Le match qui oppose l’équipe du Blue Lock à celle des U20 du Japon a enfin luieu. Je l’attendais avec grande impatience. Je n’ai pas été déçue. Ici on assiste à la première mi-temps du match et tout ce qu’on peut dire c’est que cette mi-temps fut passionnante. Un rythme complètement effréné pour ces 45 premières minutes. Ce que j’ai le plus aimé c’est le fait de voir les candidats du Blue Lock se dépasser comme jamais. J’adore les voir réfléchir, essayer de trouver une solution, se donner tous les moyens pour réussir ce match. C’est d’ailleurs cet aspect là qui me plaît le plus dans ce manga, le fait que l’histoire soit plus profonde que du simple foot. On est dans la réflexion permanente, toujours en train d’analyser tous les paramètres, toutes les techniques et j’en passe. J’adore cet aspect là du foot!

Encore un tome à la hauteur des autres. C’est toujours un pur bonheur de se plonger dans cette lecture, retrouver les différents personnages, continuer à avancer dans l’intrigue, assister aux match et j’en passe. Je suis tellement fan de tout ça. Chaque tome est absolument génial et on ne s’ennuie pas une seule seconde. Il me tarde tellement d’avoir la suite entre les mains, j’ai si hâte de découvrir ce que nous réserve la suite de ce match grandiose!

Vol. #13: ★★★★☆ (4)
Vol. #14: ★★★★☆ (4)




The new blue lock characters are bringing a new fresh face to the cast of characters, and even though some of them really feel like 1-arc characters, their vibe is really cool. Plus we'll get a glimpse of the monsters that we haven't met.
Volume 13 felt like a birdge volume in between arcs but the ending got me hyped for the future game and the new rivals outside blue lock.
The characters of the U20 look SIIIIIICK. Honestly they are so unique and they just started to give our boys a run for their money and I am loving this arc already. The brothers, isagi evolving, nico finding a new passion?, chigiri facing his fears, the king stepping up, nagi being the boss as usual, reo copying their weapons. What's not to love?

Review for volumes 13 and 14! The last competitions to determine who is going to be in the ultimate team, that aggressive dude is worthless and I really think he should just be disqualified ten times over until he gets his aggression in check, there was just a bit too much blabla and I found myself glazing over, but the competition was so cool and I absolutely loved the competitions and seeing the teams kick ass, plus seeing the top team was fun as well! OK, sure, how it all ended was typical shounen, haha. There was tons of cool moves, action parts, people discovering their inner saiyans and more! I cannot wait to read more!

oh my god i think this is my favorite volume so far, everything is sooo amazing and the match is going soo good, the dynamic between the characters are so good, the goal from nagi, the other characters improvising and showing what they can do, bachira saying woof woof to the other guy, when aryu saved so that the u-20 didn't score a goal i smiled, niko helping, gagamaru being the best goalkeeper, isagi being the key like ego said, the score being 2-1 at the end of the first half of the match, this is so amazing i need to see what’s next omg

Comienza el partido de la Sub-20 y con ellos se viene una de las primeras partes más emocionantes del proyecto BLUE LOCK.

Y es que poner en práctica todo lo que han aprendido durante su encierro, no será nada fácil... Sobre todo cuando sus rivales son nada menos que la selección de Japón. Quienes aunque no dan los resultados que el país espera, no deja de lado que tienen a los mejores.

Así que será un punto clave para que los 11 miembros seleccionados sean capaz de defender ese proyecto de delanteros para ganarse un lugar dentro de la selección japonesa.

4.5 ⭐

Dopo tutto l'allenamento e le partite siamo finalmente qui. Nonostante la perfetta simmetria tra Isagi e Bachira, è Rin colui che Isagi deve mettere in risalto. Il loro rapporto è un continuo crescendo, e non vedo l'ora che distruggano l'U-20. L'hype che trasmette questo manga è troppo trascinante.

The U-20 vs Blue Lock match really takes off in this volume. It's great to learn more about the U-20 team and their playstyles while also seeing our protagonists pushed to do more and learn as they play. I'm excited to see where this match goes in the second half.
