Barou's goal has tied the score for Italy in Match 5 of the Neo Egoist League. With the game riding on the last point, Isagi's “missing piece” Hiori enters the fray. Can Hiori shake off the “soccer curse” he carries and trigger a chemical reaction? Meanwhile, the liberated Barou has established a new “design” for the team, and they're evolving at an explosive rate! And with Kaiser waiting for his chance to strike, the battle to be king of the match will be a fierce one!
I’m so happy for Isagi!!!!! He truly deserved a match like this. His teamwork with Hiori was the cherry on top. Also, I did not expect that from Hiori—to think that he was such a sweet guy.. I still love him though.
"H-Hiori Yo?..." I muttered slowly, as I began to fall to my knees in despair. "This must be.. My.." I looked at my hands. I trembled as I realized.. "..My 𝓭𝓮𝓼𝓽𝓲𝓷𝔂.."
5💫 Ultra Evolution Unleashed This volume was an absolute beast! Hiori’s ultra evolution? Insane!! He went head-to-head with his inner demons right there on the field, clawing his way through all that baggage—and came out on top! And then, just when I thought he’d settle into his new form, he goes and introduces himself as an ultrasadist. Umm, okay qween!! I lost it.
The action was relentless, pure Blue Lock chaos, and I inhaled every single panel. Twists, turns, and one jaw-dropping moment after another. And then… that ending. “Remember Rin? Yeah, that Rin! <3 He’s back!!!!” Talk about a perfect way to wrap up the volume.
Hiori carried this one—no contest. His entire arc was a masterclass in pushing past the ghosts of the past and leveling up in real time. The way he flipped all that negativity on its head was exhilarating. This wasn’t a volume designed to break you emotionally—it was a hero’s triumph, a collection of one badass feat after another. And I loved every second of it.
to summarize: isagi is playing 4D chess on the field while the ubers are mma fighting with each other—meanwhile, rin is fighting his demons (impulse control and conspiracy to commit murder) and losing
The end of the match between the German team and the Italian team had an exciting and satisfying ending, the leading role that Hiori got was wonderful along with the flashbacks of his childhood and his parents and his internal monologue was interesting, the ending is perfect with that cliffhanger that promises Rin's return but I have to accept that in this Vol I get irritated several times because of Isagi
El final del partido entre el equipo alemán y el equipo italiano tuvo un final emocionante y satisfactorio el protagónico que obtuvo Hiori fue maravilloso junto con los flashbacks de su infancia y sus padres y su monólogo interno fue interesante, el final es perfecto con ese cliffhanger que promete el regreso de Rin pero debo aceptar que en este Vol Isagi si me desespero varias veces.
Heyyyyyy there Rin. You doing okay there ol' buddy ol' pal? You look a little.. uhhh, stressed?
Hiori is just so precioussssss and he's really cementing himself in my top 5. Uggghhh... Also, Hiori and I are both equal levels of crazy fascinated by the game that is taking place right now... okay, well, maybe he's a little more fascinated if his eyes are any indication.
Snuffy comparing the Barou x Isagi dynamic to the Noa x Ego dynamic is so fascinating to me, and I can't wait to learn more about that
I really hope these guys have good medical insurance because the way they have a habit of playing these intense games with their TONGUES STICKING OUT OF THEIR MOUTHS is mildly concerning
Barou and Isagi dynamic getting compared to the Noa and Ego dynamic is wild to me and I'm curious to see how it progresses. -Hiori, sweet baby, are you okay? Can I offer you a hug? -RIN! MY MAN! I've been wondering where you been.
Nasty! Isagi and Hiori are nasty! They're so beautiful together. I'm glad Hiori now is standing on his own two feet. He's so pretty and nasty, an ultra sadist! This volume got me sitting at the edge of my seat. We'll see you soon Kiyora!
disappointed at what they did to hiori's character, i feel like they stripped him of what made him so unique. they also kind of ruined his duo with isagi literally a few pages after showing us the full strength of their bond and football chemistry. i'm sad.

Another chaotic match ended, coupled with a character development that simultaneously felt led up to and rushed past 😭 but the final goal was really cool, why lie.
