fuck kaiser

i was getting kinda annoyed with the "try and keep up, isagi" or "you're being left behind, isagi", but damn i didn't expect that. chapter 185 was so cool, i loved seeing this new way of thinking from isagi!!
and yeah ik he wouldn't have gotten here without kaiser and he is helping isagi grown in his own way, but that bastard needs to fuck off sometimes

ایساگی بالاخره فهمید چه غلطی باید بکنه و دو چپتر آخر خیلی خوبی رو ساخت.
با اینکه الگوی مانگاکا واسم رو شده ولی میزان تسلطش روی فوتبال خیلی برام جذابه و از این جهت دوستش دارم.
نمی دونم اینجا گفتم یا نه ولی با وجود کایرز هم یه مشکلی دارم که وقتی آرک تموم شد راجعش حرف بزنم.

[꧁༺ L̴E̴X̴I̴E̴ ༻꧂]

I love the moment that everything just clicks for Isagi and falls into place. Noa's acknowledgement of him just adds weight to his potential growth and I can't wait to see how far he'll go as a player.

[fulcrum]

in this volume, isagi learns that while playing football, you can turn your head and look around. we call it meta vision here in blue lock. revolutionary, right? lmao

as usual, the only things that make me happy are annoying german gays and reo.

[Mizuki]

Pre-review: I am not sure what to expect, I am not putting my hope up too much.

The artwork is very good that's what I can say.

[zara]

isagi's metavision evolution is insane. everyone playing here is actual insanity holy fuck

[hope]

it's been a couple days (not even lol) since i've read blue lock because i've been reading tokyo ghoul but goddamn i missed it 😭 i was feeling a slump coming on but this saved me.

ISAGI ISAGI ISAGI ISAGI ISAGI ISAGI ISAGI ISAGI ISAGI 🔥🔥🔥🔥 what a badass. can he just score his own fucking goal already though??? it's always about to happen and then someone (sometimes even his own teammate 🙄) interferes with it.

i don't know how i'm feeling about kunigami.....his character is totally different now.....

this volume is still 5 stars.....but i'm really missing the blue lock og characters 😭 ever since all the other top soccer teams came in, it hasn't felt the same. it's still amazing, don't get me wrong but i just miss them. it also hurts my soul to see them all playing against each other. and i miss rin 😭

[(straw)mary ♡]

*4.5 stars

yessss main character development finally :D

[Riki (˶˃⤙˂˶)]

5💫

This volume delivered exactly what I love about Blue Lock: tons of action, a bit of backstory, and some deliciously flirty moments—especially from Kaiser (seriously, what a king <3). Isagi’s evolution into a new level of skill was such a satisfying development, showing how much he’s grown throughout the series, and the way his "vision" can really help him become something great.

My favorite moment, hands down, Nagi in the room with Prince when Agi walks in. Nagi’s reaction—"Crap, this guy seems like a pain, too"—was priceless. Such a mood. Anyone else think Agi’s eyes are a bit... odd? Like, they're in a way unsettling but fascinating.

The pacing was on point as always, with a great balance of on-field intensity and flashbacks to break things up. I love how every character gets some spotlight and development, making the game feel dynamic and emotional. And the overly dramatic moves like "Kaiser Impact"? Absolute gold. They’re cool, borderline cringe, but in the best way possible—just the right amount of over-the-top to keep it ridiculously fun.

[Jay]

Nagi show + Meta vision di Isagi: "It was perfect, perfect! Everything. Down to the last minute details"

Questo si che è divertimento, Kaneshiro ha creato un manga che ti fa gasare e divertire, con uno stile di disegno e dei personaggi accattivanti. Adoro leggere tutti i nuovi capitoli!


Comunque questa scena di Nagi pulcino >>>>

[Andrea]

Partidazo con paneles increíbles, con Kaiser enamorándome cada vez que sale, con Isagi evolucionando, con la mejor portada de todas (aun cuando Kurona me es completamente indiferente) y con Kunigami ganándose mi odio eterno.

[Kelli]

I love how Isagi and Kaiser are competing to be the biggest drama queen on the field

[Miriam]

I do not know what team anyone is on anymore cuz they will just steal the ball from each other

[mikaela (spinebreaker)]

reread 12.23.24
I'm still crying with laughter. Kaiser vs Isagi on the same team is utterly ridiculous. Interestingly, it's only one of my current Big Three Faves this time around (Kaiser my LOVE). Once again, too many cool characters that don't get what they deserve ("Orbital Resonance" with Kurona is so so so good)


original review
I am CRYING with laughter. This match is SO good and I like seeing a couple new character interactions with Isagi's play style. Two of my Big Three Faves are also here and Kaiser is surpassing all my expectations of narcissist nonsense (I adore him)

[Morëlle]

From 177 to 185!

Kurona on the cover. He is baby and so pure.

BUT YOICHI, WOW BOY YOU ARE ON FIRE>


ANd Kaiser honestly is an asshole, douchebag but pretty. A jerk but pretty.

The only thing redeemable about him is that he's pretty.

[Mehsi]

Sorry, but the last bit pissed me off. Isagi was doing so well, fuck off Kunigami. But the match was cool, though I still think all those powers are hilarious, meta vision? Puzzle pieces? Second mind? OK.. I am curious how this one will continue.

[Percy]

Isagi, gość co pobawił!!
Wszytko byłoby cacy gdyby nie ten wścibski Kaiser ヽ(´д｀)ノ

[Meishuu]

Kaiser is hilarious. Isagi is boring and the author (like most authors, to be fair) has no idea what rationality is.

[Fernanda M.]

ESTOY EN EL PISOOOO.

Vemos un poco del avance que se carga Nagi, sin embargo no logramos mucho ya que le frenan, pero todos son consientes que una vez entienda más el fútbol va a ser imparable, el juego continúa, Kaiser anota un gol y demuestra una vez más porque es el mejor, pero mientras todos tiemblan ante él, Isagi le analiza. Descubre la meta visión y comienza todo su análisis final, onda me revolví en muchas cosas, pero amo cuando se pone en mood crazy, por fin somos capaces de volver a ver al Isagi egoísta.
La cara de Kaiser al ver a Isagi seguro es tooop, Isagi obtiene el balón y pasa a todos con ayuda de Kurona, amamos a Isagi divirtiéndose tanto, pasa a Nagi, a defensas, usa a Kunigami como carnada y entra en el área de penalti, Kurona le da el último pase y cuando va a anotar, Kaiser aparece, "bienvenido a mi dimensión", Isagi apuesta un todo o nada, pero Kunigami roba su balón y anota, Isagi molesto y triste me parte, pero sus intacciones con Kaiser son divertidas, "te mataré incluso si es lo último que haga" "oh, vaya ¿es una nueva forma de decir te amo?" JAJAJAJA son preciosos los dos, por último tenemos a Noel diciendo que no deje que ello le destruya porque aquello que encontró podría llevarlo incluso a él mismo.

AUXILIO, la razón por la que amo tanto este manga a pesar de no ser fan del fútbol es el increíble dibujo, diossss amo muchísimo como Isagi se somete y todo ese proceso de construcción y destrucción, es fascinante de ver. Me encantaaaaaaa.

[Kaitlynne]

I would like to know who I have to bribe in order to get characters who are NOT scary looking.😭😭

Also, team Manshine is the only team that is actually taking the coaching thing Seriously... They're the only ones that seem to be making any kind of actual progress... except For Bachira, but he makes progress without any help, so.

[Mary]

Isagi’s dynamic with Kaiser is…. Interesting. How many rivals does Isagi have now? 😂

Honestly right when I was getting a little bored of Isagi, he evolved. This match has been very intense.

[Miyaki]

Kaiser is fine why'd people hate him

[omar ☆]

I've read up to volume;
#23; with an average rating of: ★★★★☆ 4.1/5


I love that every game is just isagi realizing stuff
yukimiya was lowkey annoying but oaky, I love this match

[BookManiac]

5/5.

This volume is perfect. We have a whole new concept properly introduced and executed, everyone's evolving, and of course my favorite, Isagi adapting and showing everyone the monster he really is.

[Jasmine]

Kaiser on Chigiri: is that an old friend of yours? He’s fast, tough, and above all else beautiful. I can’t wait to crush him.

Heeheeheeeeheee

In all seriousness I’m locked into this arc like I’ve never been locked in before.

[Jewel ✧]

i caught up and Volume 22 is still ongoing :(( now I have to wait for weeks

[christyr]

isagi figuring everything out was such an adrenaline rush

[Zara]

Ta como quillao Isagi y q cura con Kaiser dándole cumplidos a Chigiri diciéndole hermoso y de to, Kaiser descansa q tu y el están comprometidos (diq)
