FIRST SELECTION

Roused by Ego’s speech at orientation, Reo jumped head-first into the Blue Lock program...and dragged Nagi in kicking and screaming. Now the real work begins as Ego announces their next test, the “first selection.” In this round-robin battle between the members of wing five, it’s not just about being on the winning team; the top scorers also get a goal bonus. Let the clash of massive egos begin!

3/5

I like this duo, but I was surprisingly bored. Maybe not super bored, because I love Blue Lock, but I just wasn’t as invested as I usually am. It’s probably because, while I like Nagi, Reo feels kind of indifferent to me. His character is fine, but I don’t feel much of a connection with him, which might be why I’m not enjoying it as much as I expected. It’s also likely because my favorite trio—Isagi, Bachira, and Chigiri—was missing.

This is really unfair I’m just going to rate this whole series 4-5 stars and my rating average will look as if I give out five stars like a retired granny🫩

“What’s so great about that guy?”

“Maybe it’s because it’s the first time someone has ever…been interested in a slacker like me.”

The way Nagi talks about Reo, I died 😭


CAP 7:

MANIPÚLAME ME A MI REOOO

“The strongest trio complete”

los quiero mucho, no sé qué habrá sido de zantetsu pero espero que esté bien 😭


CAP 8:

Reo cada que puede abraza a nagi, es muy touchy con él 😩


“I’m not a slave, I’m Reo’s partner.”


ICÓNICO, NEVER THE SAME, CÓMO LO CARGABA AL FINAL !??/&/82 😭

No estoy lista para que se enfrenten con Isagi, BASTA 😭😭😭 no puedo ver a Reo sufrir soy débil

Both volumes thus far started out slow, (and I was unsure), but by end of each I was all in.

Fellas, is it gay to profess that your passion for soccer comes not from an inherent love for the sport itself but from your teammate + peer being the only one to believe you have potential and take an interest in “a slacker like you”? Asking for a friend~

Blue lock fait clairement parti de mes mangas préférés. Je suis tellement fan de ce manga, la passionnée de foot en moi est toujours ravie de dévorer cette histoire! Et puis Nagi est un des personnages que je préfère, alors vous vous doutez bien que quand le premier tome était sorti, je fus complètement ravie!! J’avais beaucoup apprécié le premier tome et j’étais impatiente de continuer avec ce second tome. Je n’ai pas été déçue de ma lecture, c’est dans la même lignée que le premier, je me suis régalée!

Dans ce second tome, maintenant qu’ils ont réussi le test d’entrée au Blue Lock, un centre de formation qui vise à créer le meilleur buteur du monde, Nagi et Reo vont devoir participer à une première sélection. Le duo de footballeurs de génie intégrera l’équipe V et devra livrer des matchs de poule contre d’autres attaquants sélectionnés dans tout le pays !

Mais qu’est ce que j’aime Nagi! Sincèrement ce personnage est incroyable. Le voir aussi flemmard ça me fait vraiment beaucoup rire. C’est même dingue à quel point il la flemme, tout le temps et peu importe ce que ça concerne. Il a même la flemme de mâcher sa viande c’est pour vous dire à quel point il est flemmard! Nagi me fait beaucoup rire, il est tellement doué au foot mais, comme tout le reste, il a la flemme. Mais heureusement que Reo sait comment le motiver. Il sait toujours quoi dire, quoi trouver comme excuse ou récompense pour le motiver à jouer. J’aime tellement avoir ce côté de l’histoire. Comme je le dis un peu plus haut, Nagi est un de mes personnages préférés dans Blue Lock, alors pouvoir voir ce qu’il se passe de son côté, je trouve ça génial. J’adore son amitié avec Reo, ces deux là forment un sacré duo en tout cas. J’ai déjà hâte d’avoir le prochain tome, surtout quand je vois que celui ci se termine avec l’arrivée d’Isagi!

J’étais déjà plus que fan de Blue Lock mais je crois qu’avec les épisodes Nagi, je le suis encore plus. Vraiment ce manga est une pure merveille à mes yeux. C’est passionnant, c’est palpitant, on ne s’ennuie jamais, pas une seule seconde. Je me régale à chaque page, bref c’est un énorme coup de coeur à chaque tome que je lis, que ce soit avec l’épisode Nagi ou le manga principal. Vivement la suite, j’ai déjà très hâte de dévorer le prochain tome.

ch 5
team v and y (which has niko)
oh i forgot how annoying the 1st selection was with everyone being so anti-team oriented
reo with a hat trick that's my king
motivating him with video games like a dog with treats

ch 6
prodigies only get serious when there's bait.
not reo using business tactics to manipulate his teammates into working together. he's literally such a fun character why did we get stuck with stupid sprout man
"i like cool and interesting guys anyway" first of all no one asked and secondly, nagi is clearly not that.
aw zantetsu has a loving family
also i do not need all these 99% naked scenes with objects placed conveniently in certain areas
team w is next (w the wanima brothers)

ch 7
funny that nagi is the one who made friends with zantetsu while reo is so against it
reo and zantetsu thanking each other in the rudest ways and nagi is like why can't they just be nice

ch 8
did i just learn zantetsu wears glasses only to make him smart or did we know that in the main manga??? i watched the movie but tbh i don't remember it at all
team x is up next with barou
barou's teammates begging him for a chance like they do not know this guy is the complete opposite of working together it's been 301 chapters and he STILL is like this
"i'm no servant. i'm reo's partner" thanks knsr

ch 9
i appreciate that reo brings in so many business and corporate analogies into his strategy
i totally forgot about kuon the betrayer flashback to raichi almost killing him
the twt meme of "that one guy desperate for attention" is so isagi like girl get ur nose out of everyone's business stop breaking up relationships

"Questi tipi così deboli che devono impegnarsi tanto per cercare di vincere sono davvero terribilmente noiosi."

3,5

Seguendo le avventure di Nagi, Reo e il resto del team V, possiamo seguire da una nuova prospettiva gli eventi che hanno segnato la prima fase del progetto Blue Lock - l'incontro con quell'anima pia di Niko (che poi troverà la sua determinazione dopo la partita con Isagi), con i gemelli super inquietanti del team W, e con quel mostro di delicatezza ed eloquenza che risponde al nome di Shoei Baro (che con i suoi insulti ci regalerà il primo sussulto di ego nel nostro Nagi).
Un po' come è accaduto con i disperati del team Z, anche quelli della squadra V riescono a trovare una loro organizzazione, con Reo che, di fatto, gestisce tutte le operazioni, potendo contare sul supporto di Nagi (se adeguatamente stimolato) e di quel genio del male di Zantetsu - ragazzo dalle doti fisiche straordinarie, ma dalla mente non propriamente brillante. Cosa che Reo e il resto del mondo continua a ripetergli. Suo malgrado, Nagi farà da ponte tra queste due personalità così diverse (il suo obiettivo è quello di faticare il meno possibile, però di sicuro la squadra ringrazia). La fine di questo volume ci prepara allo scontro con la banda di Isagi, un momento cruciale nel percorso di crescita di Seishiro che, almeno per ora, continua ad essere una sorta di mosca bianca in mezzo ai tutti quegli esaltati.

I love that from Nagi's point of view we can see other characters and other games like Zantetsu and the Y team and the whole dynamic between Nagi and Barou was captivating (as they had to play together after that match) and the ending meeting with the Z team it was wonderful.

Me encanta que desde el punto de vista de Nagi podemos ver a otros personajes y otros partidos como Zantetsu y el equipo Y y toda la dinámica entre Nagi y Barou fue atrapante (como estos después de ese encuentro tuvieron que jugar juntos) y el final encontrándose con el equipo Z fue maravilloso.

woow this was sooo cool

it was amazing to see the Team V vs. Team Y match and see how they destroyed them

nagi, reo and zantetsu are sooooo cool and all their panels are amazing

nagi saying that to barou was sooo cool

the matchs were cool

seeing again the part were kuon is making the alliance and seeing the differences between the regular manga and the differences was so cool

I really liked this, and it's getting even more exciting now that we've introduced Isagi since he's the person who fans the flames of Nagi's growing passion for soccer. Reo is kind of annoying because he's all "Nagi and me". It'll be interesting to see again when they split up. I can't wait to read the next volume!

So while Isagi and Team Z are struggling through their own matches, Nagi (and Reo and Zantetsu) are busy ruling the field in Team W. Originally, this was just a tidbit of background info until the two of them met on the field, so it's fun to see a different angle of Blue Lock.

But the Team W vs Team Z is about to start, so we'll be back on familiar ground soon.

If isagi has 1000 of haters i am one of them, if isagi has 10 haters i am one of them, if isagi have only one hater, that is me. if isagi has no haters, that means i am no more on the earth. if world is with isagi, i am against the world.

Conocer más a Zantetsu me ha gustado, igual que el comienzo de su "amistad" con Nagi y Reo. Los partidos han sido increíbles y divertidos.
Perfectamente podría ser un 5⭐️
