After a disastrous defeat at the 2018 World Cup, Japan's team struggles to regroup. But what's missing? An absolute Ace Striker, who can guide them to the win. The Football Association is hell-bent on creating a striker who hungers for goals and thirsts for victory, and who can be the decisive instrument in turning around a losing match... and to do so, they've gathered 300 of Japan's best and brightest youth players. Who will emerge to lead the team... and will they be able to out-muscle and out-ego everyone who stands in their way?
The last match of the first Blue Lock selection round kicks off! Isagi's Team Z has no choice but to win the match if they want to stay in Blue Lock. Their opponents: Team V, the strongest team in Wing 5, led by the prodigy Seishiro Nagi. Will Team Z's desperation triumph over Team V's overwhelming offensive power? The key to victory lies in "a goal's reproducibility"...
I liked this novel! It was very action packed and there was a lot of character development. My only complaint is that they're sexualizing Anri, who is pretty much the only woman in the manga. Aside from that, I look forward to the next volume!
i freaking love him. i think he may be my fav character but UGHHHHHH it's so hard to pick because there is so many good ones.
okay but reo and nagi!?!?!?!?!??!!??!?!?!?!!? oh my god. i was not expecting that dynamic between them but it was intriguing as hell. nagi is such a mood. him asking reo when he could finally slack off after scoring goals 🤣🤣 plsssss i need to see more of them.
also, bachira and isagi's friendship have my heart. 😭
another day, another 5 star for blue lock. onto to the next!!!
"The one who can prove the formula they've created for themselves...will be able to mass-produce victories at an explosive rate...as the world's best striker."
(1) As someone who has zero interest in football, I think this series is doing damn great by successfully holding my interest!
(2) What's your deal Bachira!? You look so happy!:
(3) The team is facing another tough battle, how will they manage to fight against another with a genius player among the rank?
Reo and Nagi are such a great addition to the Blue Lock competition. They pair so well together; Nagi’s nonchalance (or boredom) towards soccer makes him a really amusing counterpart to Reo, who’s a little bit insane about the sport. Can’t wait for more of them!
I'm currently on volume 8 of this insanity but I'm adding these reviews bit by bit so I don't end up spamming everyone. This was a bit of a filler volume but still very enjoyable! I am noticing that we are now starting to end these volumes with a cliffhanger and my heart cannot take that. Bachira is insane... love him. Nagi is also an interesting character and I had a feeling he would continue to appear in the next volumes because the potential was there.
Another great volume. The team feels like they'll lose going the way they're going. However thanks to one of them pushing their limits things heat up as each member pushes themselves beyond their limits. This is a very close and entertaining game now.
GOD i love bachira. everything about him is literally perfect, yadda yadda kuon sucks nagi is cool reo is whatever yadda yadda, all i care about is BACHIRA and his fucking awesomeness. every page he's on makes my day a million times better, and im already on cloud nine just knowing he exists (if fictionally)
kunigami is also cool as hell, and i loved his surprise goal, but everytime i look at him i see bakugou and get a little freaked out.
With Team Z in danger of being booted from Blue Lock, Isagi finds some helpful advice from a very unfriendly player while we learn about two members’ backstories. As Team Z and V face off in the final match of the first selection, it’s an edgy and fierce one that’s full of hot moves and angry faces. A- (91%/Excellent)
That's my golden boy there, Bachira! My most special boy! They're all dancing and surpassing their own rhythms, I can't wait when it's time to get together after this strata!
Reo really out here not even batting an eyelash the moment he saw Nagi. I'm not even going to say anything! But it's funny how Reo is sticking his tongue out here, can't wait for his chameleon to show up!
