Thanks to Rin Itoshi’s screamer and some solid defending in the dying minutes of the first half, the Blue Lock Eleven are up 2-1 against the U-20 Japan team. Morale is running low in the U-20 locker room, and things only get worse when Sae Itoshi threatens to leave. Just then, an ominous figure emerges from the wings... The demon striker Ryusei Shidou is finally loose and ready to run rampant!
i love how all these characters are so op—yukimiya here is not only incredibly talented but he's also a MODEL. it's so funny how this series is shōnen and yet these are so female-gaze-centered characters. not that i'm complaining in the case of yukki, not at all.
WHYYYY DO I ALWAYS TAKE A REST IN THE MIDDLE OF READING AND FORGET THE MOST FIREY, INTENSE SCENES OMG.
this volume has some of my favorite scenes of the u20 match, including but not limited to: -the appearance of hyōma chigiri's sister and mother (who are GORGEOUS, just like him) -bachira's mom meeting isagi's parents -lots of ryusae moments!! -the scene of sae and rin's childhood, of close brotherhood that burnt to fierce hatred. there's so much to dissect from that scene and i am WRITING. -hiori and reo step onto the field -sae flipping shidou over
unfortunately, it also had shidou's weird-ass sexual comparisons between soccer and knocking someone up complete with sperm-and-egg visuals, not to mention the line about blowing his load. this was not any easier to bear than in the anime.
این دیدگاهی که نسبت به تلاش و هدف داره واسه من خیلی جالبه. یکم صفر و صدیه ولی جالبه. آرت رفته رفته پیشرفت میکنه و برخلاف اون اوایل زیاد گیج نمیزنم و کاملا متوجه جریان بازی میشم. احتمالا درخشش ایساگی میمونه واسه جلد بعد و آخر بازی ولی تا اون موقع دلم میخواد بازم از ناگی و بارو ببینم و کیف کنم از درخششون. تا حالا شده یه کارکتری همینطوری بدون دلیل تو دلتون جا وا کنه؟ خیلی چیز عجیبیه و من اینو با بارو دارم تجربه میکنم. راستی فلشبک رین هم خوب بود.
I remember that i started reading this masterpiece of a manga back in 2021 bc someone compared a character (Kunigami) to Bakugou from MHA and goddamn what a good decision that was.
ITS JUST SO GOOD, i had taken a hiatus from reading it but the anime brought me back. Thank u to the tiktok editing community, i owe y’all a lot 💅🏻
this volume is one of the best so far. reo is finally here and he’s shining. amazing boy — so talented, smart, hardworking. i knew he had great potential the moment i saw him. yeah, favourite character.
we finally get the itoshi brothers’ backstory. i can’t even be mad at sae, he was clearly hurting, and rin was just a teenager who couldn’t understand so much. and now we’re witnessing this whole sibling drama unfold. i personally adore this trope. i just hope they’re not doomed.
anyway, the tension, the chemistry — everything was on point. i saved some freaky quotes as usual, i’ll add them later.
“you fit through some tight spaces. that’s kinda hot… but as always, you’re just good at kicking.” “not just that…” just pass the ball already :)
3rd read nothing like torturing myself by reading the itoshi brothers' backstory before bed 🥰
2nd read the itoshi brothers' backstory will never fail to make me bawl like a little bitch. they really do deserve to play together again and resolve whatever unspoken issues they have :(
1st read i never could've predicted that out of all the characters, so far, the most directly fruity ones would be sae itoshi and ryusei shidou
I have a little more sympathy for Rin because Sae is even worse than him!!!! They’re both bad but Sae is yucky!
My heart almost exploded when Chigiri ran out of stamina. I thought he injured his leg!!
I don’t see how Barou is gonna turn this thing around in the next volume unless he evolves in a crazy way.
Some of the dialogue in this manga made me cringe so hard I was worried my teeth were gonna fall out LMAOOO. I cannot with Shidou’s “take my goal straight in your womb!”?!??! I’m laughing and cringing at the same time.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
bachira and isagi's parents meeting wahh bachisagi is so canon... this volume was gay as hell 1. "i'm here to put your collar on." (aiku to isagi) His Collar..........? 2. "you fit through some tight spaces. that's kinda hot." (karasu to hiori) i don't even have a comment on this what in the yaoi 3. literally all of shidou's lines to sae. wdym you're throbbing like never before. youre about to blow your WHAT? 4. nagi thinking that he needs a towel and reo suddenly appearing and tossing a towel on him It's the boyfriend instincts....
The longer this series goes, the more unhinged it gets... Like, I went from being kind of teary eyed to giggling, because some of the things that these characters say and do, are... interesting. It is keeping me on the edge of my seat wanting to know what's going to happen next, so good for it.
Shidou is a scary freak, and I say that with nothing but affection in my heart. We are now up to two characters who have reminded me of Huggy Wuggy and I H A T E that for me.
shut up rin’s background i’m gonna cryyyyy all he wants is to be like his brother :( all he wants is to dream like his brother SHUT UP i’m so sad for him :( alsoooo i knew they’d bring in that antenna guy i just knew it but i hope they wouldn’t… at least we get to see the king back on the field hehe
"El mañana nos da igual... Porque perder es como morir. ¡Y nosotros no queremos morir todavía! ¡Lo único que me importa es convertirme en el mejor del mundo! Haznos ganar puto cuatro ojos"
Que ganas de abrazar a Isagi cuando se le puso al brinco a Ego jajaj
El bien conchudo diciendo que no importa su esfuerzo si de todos modos ya vieron que si son algo... Si uno como espectador sabe cuan importante es ganar para todos los miembros de BLUE LOCK 💙
Ancora, dopo 15 volumi, non si è esaurita la carica gigantesca che emana questo manga ad ogni tavola, da non più amante del calcio non me lo sarei mai aspettato di esser preso così tanto da uno spokon.
SO GOOD but i feel like this volume was so slow, this had 10 chapters but only 10 minutes passed from the second half, finally rin’s backstory and now we know why he’s like that, poor chigiri 😢
the parts when isagi’s mom and bachira’s mom met it was so cute 😢😢
Este partido es una locuraaaaaaa y los goles *chef's kiss*, aparte de que tuvimos backstory de Rin y Sae (nunca me harán quererte Sae hpd) En el siguiente tomo encima ya van a estar todos mis niños favoritos en la cancha AAAAAAAAA que emoción
