Blue Lock Vol. 25

ブルーロック [Blue Lock] #25

by Muneyuki Kaneshiro, Yusuke Nomura (artist)

Germany takes the lead thanks to Isagi's first goal in the Neo Egoist League! Isagi's secret training of his left leg direct shot weapon has paid off. When Snuffy, the Italian coach, releases the team from his strict regulations in response, Barou, Niko, Aiku, and the other Blue Lock players start to progress rapidly. And the thwarted Kaiser is burning to steal back the spotlight from Isagi… Amidst all this rapid evolution, who will be the game changer who can dominate the flow?!

Everyone needs to chill with this Meta Vision, it’s my boy Isagi’s thing.

یه مشکلی که باهاش دارم اینه که اومده یه چیزی به اسم دید فرابعدی رو به داستان اضافه کرده و این مدلیه که کارکتر می‌تونه تمام حرکات اطرافش رو تجزیه و تحلیل کنه و آینده رو تا حدی پیش‌بینی کنه. خب این بد نیست بازیکن‌هایی بودن و هستن که چنین قابلیتی رو دارن ولی دیکه تو بلولاک شورش رو درآوردن. نمیشه که نصف بازیکن‌های یه تیم این قابلیت رو داشته باشن. در واقع توانایی خیلی محدودیه و اینطوری که داره ازش زیاد استفاده می‌کنه باعث مسخره شدن داستان میشه. هر موقع دلش بخواد یکی میاد توپ اون یکی رو می‌زنه و میشه دید فرابعدی🥸 اصلا هم مهم نیست که بازیکن که توپ رو دزدیده یا پس گرفته تا دو ثانیه قبل از توپ چهل متر فاصله داشته.
کاش می‌شد واسه ریویو گودریدز ویس داد. حس می‌کنم اگه ویس می‌دادم می‌شد بهتر توضیحش داد.

I don't even know what to say at this point... It's so good y'all.

Like the boss ass qween Chigiri comes over to the other stratum to confront his ex Kunigami, Dark Isagi attaks, the happy lil puppy-dog Ness is scolded by Kaiser-sama, AND Kurona my poor bebé gets subbed out for a bad cramp! SO MUCH HAPPENS!!! And the drama is gold!

The ending, especially the last frame was beautiful. Can't wait to continue to the next one!

to everyone wondering where the other players got metavision from… can i remind you how isagi came up with it in the first place? he just noticed that kaiser looks around and pays attention to other players, not just the ball, because he doesn’t have to worry about that when ness is passing to him. it’s not like metavision is his superpower, it’s just one part of it.

also, ubers pissed me off so much they actually made me root for the evil german football team.

Ness embarrasses himself simping for Kaiser (real); Lorenzo is like one of those wiggle things outside car dealerships; I love the Ubers' play style; I want {redacted} to have his moment to shine

Hiori better play next volume

Why does everyone have Meta Vision? All of a sudden ☹️that's Isagi's move. y'all need to stop ☹️😭
Can we talk about Kasier's goal like woah can't wait for that to be animated cause I sure as he'll can't explain what just happened even after reading it 3 times.

Isagi is the goat. I live how active he is rn

[Kaitlynne · Rating 4 out of 5]

Time for some more bulk updates because I'm completely caught up through 269. I have NOTES instead of an actual review though lol

Thoughts while reading:

Kunigananami is still a good guy deep down, *SOBS* He's still looking out for Isagi even if he's acting like a jerk about iiiiiiiitttttttttttt, I can't handle it

Ego Juice... out of your pores... Buzzy Bee you say the weirdest things sometimes.

GUYS! I thought Maid Sama Idiot Trio was my favorite... turns out Blue Lock Idiot Trio is giving them a run for their money, I love it.

Ummm, excuuuuse meeeeee. I WANT MORE CONTENT FROM THE EGOTIST FOURRRRRRRRRRR

SIR. Please stop barking. You're embarrassing yourself.

I wonder how much gel/spray/mousse Barou uses to get his hair to stay the way it is.

You get Meta Vision, and YOU get Meta Vision... EVERYONE GETS META VISIONNNN! (But really. Please explain to me how, if FOUR of TWENTY TWO people have Meta Vision, it's still rare?? Let's make it make sense.

Final thoughts:

You knowwwwwwwwwww maybe... JUST MAYBE... if everyone stopped trying to steal goals from their TEAMMATES, winning would be easier.

[Eli · Rating 4 out of 5]

I just wanna say Ness gives me such secondhand embarrassment, that’s all. thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

just kidding, let me drag him for a couple seconds more because I think he might be my least favorite Blue Lock character yet. has he done anything to me personally? no… beside the fact that I literally just can’t stand him.
like, why was bro celebrating Kaiser’s goal more than Kaiser himself did 😃 I genuinely didn’t know whether to bury my head in my hands to cringe in silence or to simply walk out into a forest so I could lay down and let the earth consume me. I’m remembering it now as I type this review how he rubbed the goal on the other team’s face with way too much enthusiasm, just for Kaiser to tell him to shut the fuck up. I’m sorry but I HAD to laugh. Kaiser is so real for that.
personally I would not show my face again after that. ever. please, petition for someone to grab him by the shoulders and tell him to get himself together. he needs to snap out of it and stop acting like Kaiser’s successes have anything to do with him. he was just sorta there. I am begging him to grow a personality beside being Kaiser’s number 1 stan and Isagi’s number 1 hater. asap, if possible. it is not the end of the world that Kaiser has found a new opponent in Isagi because Ness is still his lackey, it’s not like I think he had Kaiser’s attention at all in the first place so I dunno what he’s foaming at the mouth about but AHEM whatever that ain’t my business.

to end on me not being a total hater lmao, I kind of sort of loved how Isagi called Kurona “My reliable planet” like that was cute. let’s not get it twisted I will always think Bachira and Isagi were such a good duo, but I like that we’re seeing how different players click with Isagi and balance his plays. speaking of, I see Yo wanting in on the match, I hope we see him on the field soon.

Being the reason for another divorce…. Isagi cannot be stopped

I fucking love Ness, he is genuinely and single-mindedly a Kaiser freak. And fuck Kaiser, he's great but some of his greatness are thanks to Ness's easy passes. I can't wait for him to crash out the moment Ness starts rebelling. I love their trope!

Everyone's great, especially the ones originally from BLLK. The amount of progress they've reached are something worth noting for, especially Niko. He's a really good kid. Also rooting for Hiori!

- awe snuffy is actually so sweet what 💔

Chapter 217 :
- HUHHH so they have to make plays that the enemy team wont ever expect,,
- can these randos stop with their metavision thats isagi’s thing.
- “does niko have metavision too” i thought we knew this from the beginning.

Chapter 218 :
- OH WAIT NIKO DOESNT HAVE METAVISION???? that was all instinct,, i thought he did from the first moment we saw him 💔
- ness is so pretty why is he being bossed around by kaiser of all people.

- i do really like how noa only joins when the other team’s leader does,, it makes the play actually fair
- HIORIIIIIIII i think next volume will be hiori’s time.. This is probably one of the first times hiori is actually excited to play soccer 😿

5/5.

Potential. Evolution. Adaptation. Ego. Ascension. In a lot of ways, these are the ideals that underlie Blue Lock, and everyone, whether they be Isagi, his allies, teammates, or opponents, are embodying it in this match and volume. I love it. Blue Lock at its best.

The match between the German team and the Italian team is stressing me out a lot, so far it has been very entertaining, the rivalry between Isagi and Kaiser gives me life, but I need Hiori to be included in the game, I feel that he would be an important piece in the game.

El partido entre el equipo alemán y el equipo italiano me esta estresando mucho, hasta el momento ha sido muy entretenido, la rivalidad entre Isagi y Kaiser me da vida, pero necesito que ya metan en el partido a Hiori siento que el sería una pieza importante dentro del juego.

[jelato · Rating 4 out of 5]

The Ubers boys dynamic is really interesting, but like, the only striker is technically Barou, and they're all serving him; as opposed to the rest of the teams where most actually want to be strikers and they fight each other for the spotlight (especially BM stealing goals from each other and fighting within each other on top of the team they're against); whereas Niko and Aryu are just defenders now and are okay with it. idk I also think since Ubers is just supporting Barou, it’s unfair to the rest of the strikers in the neo-egoist league and kinda boring. Like *obviously* he’s the number one striker in the ranks, it’s hard not to be when bro literally has a whole team built around him with probably the best defenders in all the teams. If Isagi—or anyone else really— had a team fully serving them, they’d obviously be scoring like crazy. Anyway, I thought the past matches were more exciting. The best thing about this match is the rivalry within BM, I LIVE for it (and seeing aiku, my man again). Plus it's getting so fun now that Isagi is blocking Barou’s shots.

Review for the entire series so far-
I read 200+ chapters in four days.
Also, I think I might like football now which is a feat that no amount of peer pressure or begging from friends has managed to accomplish, so make of that what you will.
