though even with all his raw power and strength, how the hell has tokimitsu made it this far with his inferiority complex/pessimism? he is quite literally the polar opposite of an egoist, which is what blue lock is trying to create in the first place...

without a doubt this is one of the best manga series i've ever read in terms of story progression and action. I CAN'T GET OVER HOW UNPUTDOWNABLE THIS MANGA IS. every volume is intense and the character arcs seem to get better as the story progresses. blue lock is the moment!!! this is definitely a favorite now.

damn choosing your rival because you're so petty, you want him to see you ascend as the best striker in the world. talk about obsession over a wildcard appearing in your life to mess things up in the best way possible.

1st read

4.5 ⭐️

Finally, Isagi is really starting to shine in these soccer matches. Those last few plays against Rin and Bachira were awesome. Speaking of Bachira!!! His solo rampage had me fully convinced the match was wrapped up and won. It’s great to see that despite joining Blue Lock to make friends and find company for his ‘monster’, he now appreciates his own talents and feels like he’d be okay moving on without Isagi.

i felt so bad for bachira, i love him sm

“I don't need a monster anymore...”

4 stars *may change
the problem with reading a manga where only one person can win is that when the people you like inevitably lose it hurts so much 😀

[Paola]

NOOOOOOOOOO

[Mark]

The game that started last volume is still going. No, seriously, that’s this entire volume.

Obviously I enjoy Blue Lock on some level or I wouldn’t continue to read it every time a new volume drops, or make that observation constantly, but it is with the heavy asterisk that this is not my style of manga and the general craziness and fluidity of art manages to save the day.

Unquestionably the best part of this volume is the shocking moment of actual character growth where we see Bachiru, Isagi’s friend from early on, come to a realization that’s actually been surprisingly well seeded from the get-go and leads to a pretty good conclusion/arc for him.

It also sets up a smartly done conclusion to the match proper which doesn’t invalidate what came before it, proves to be actually interesting, while also setting up some solid conflict for the future of the series.

The problem, of course, is the trappings, which remain cuckoo in all respects, nobody batting an eye at the holo-goalies any more, since this series’ argument is that goalies might as well be nothing since they can’t storm down the field like testosterone bombs waiting to explode in a shower of precious goals.

Isagi meets his literal match in Rin, who has the same power as him, but knows how to use it far differently. The problem here is that this ridiculous power suddenly revs up to the point of clairvoyance and Isagi’s counter is to try and see further into the future. Apparently the answer is to be unpredictable, which to my untrained eye appears to translate into doing the dumbest thing possible.

At the rate this is escalating, he’ll be playing the next game in his head during his current ones. It’s a bit much, as is all the incredible oratory these kids deliver as they shuffle back and forth playing a sporting game while trying to outplot each other like this is Death Note. I mean, it’s the series schtick, but it’s a smidge overblown at this stage.

Elsewhere, our loan female shows up for a few panels to lean provocatively over desks in ways that can’t be good for her back, while Ego craps on her for daring to have an opinion that he didn’t give to her. There’s this volume’s representation for you.

2.5 stars - I don’t see the point in belabouring yet another volume of what I think is mostly okay. I think the next one might be a bit more interesting since it will not be all football action, which is the main thrust of the series, but I was really drained after a whole volume of it this time out. Rounding up for a conclusion I appreciated.

[Jasmine]

That ending was not what I expected but let’s do this. I don’t know how the next arc is gonna top this one.

[Mar]

if you've read the volume already/watched the anime, not a spoiler: damn, nagi telling bachira that they wouldn't pick him truly hurt me. i kinda almost took it personally for some reason. (maybe bc i love bachira so much.) also, bachira saying isagi was his first friend made me really sad too :( but wow, the way he improved was insane. and isagi?!?! he ended up surpassing rin, even if it was only briefly and in a play that still didn't favor him. incredible.
so i guess overall my review is: wow

[Vyshakh Aravindan]

Reaching the tenth volume feels like a significant milestone for the series. The cast is now well established, the stakes are clear, and the matches have become increasingly strategic. Isagi's growth as a player remains the emotional core of the story, while the supporting cast continues to add energy and unpredictability. Although Blue Lock still prioritizes style and hype over realism, it has become very comfortable with what it wants to be. Volume 10 leaves readers eager to see how the next stage of the Blue Lock project will challenge its characters.

[Mega]

Probably my favorite volume so far

[Mary]

The match was pretty intense, I honestly had no idea who would win. Honestly I am a little disappointed at the results, I had high hopes. Bachira made me a little sad too 😭

[James DeSantis]

Balls to walls plays and twist..I actually didn't see the ending coming but also I love it? A nice surprise that shifts the upcoming volumes in interesting ways. I'm loving how teams keep changing.
