- Blue Lock is a show that I was really hesitant to watch, but I ended up giving this anime a chance.
Did I make the right choice?

Did Blue Lock live up to the hype?
blue lock over exacted the hype
yes
Absolutely
Yes, I'm sure of it
🤗🤗
Just watch in a couple months when new episodes come out
blue lock is the definition of LET HIM COOK
Couldn’t have said it any other way well done
Yuha Bach needs to be the ref once they introduce refs.
Rather roast him so he destroys ur team

Left us with a bigger cliffhanger than the actual bluelock endings

go read manga
I'm a big fan of both mangas, so I wanna point out that trying to compare Haikyuu and Blue Lock doesn't really work because the scope of what they're exploring is different. Haikyuu is Hinata learning a sport he's fascinated with from scratch but, in Haikyuu terms, Blue Lock is like a hyper focused and sometimes disturbing view into the sports environment and mentality that creates the Ushiwakas of the world.
A GREAT explanation of the philosophies of both shows
Exactly. Haikyuu is the typical high school sports team shenanigans, while blue lock is a battle royale/elimination game. The two genres/themes are totally different and shouldn't be compared
Gotta admit tho, only after reading blue lock could i mister the courage to finish haikyu
Yeah it's better to compare something like ao ashi to haikyuu than blue lock. Blue lock is more of a action manga than a sports one
Nah I can still compare it. I don't have a bias to any and I did watch hikyu first. And I can confidently say that blue lock is better. Every episode is hype. It just keeps getting better and better.
That plot twist about Kira is actually so good, it's what perk my interest from the start about the manga. I kinda wished the author trolled us a bit more by showing it on Kira's POV first until he gets eliminated and we switched on Isagi's POV lmao. I also thought he & Isagi were going to be the duo but Bachira came in and was like nope, you're out. XD
ok omg the pov thing wouldve been good like in danganronpa i love those types of plot twists
lol I was fooled too 😂😂 I thought he was a lead character
blue lock was so hype for me that it actually got me into soccer for the past two months i’ve been practicing everyday. it’s crazy how much of an impact this show has had on my irl life.
It got me into soccer as well but I wouldn’t join a team I may just play it casuallly
@@AceXLCM I don't really have anyone, or anyplace to play
@@TimothyGod i only have one other friend to play with but when he can’t play this what i do. just go to the local college campus, they have a really nice pitch (and most parks in the us don’t have soccer goals) bring my bag with cones and stuff and i just practice control, dribbling, juggling and shooting alone
@@AceXLCM my friend and i went from literally next to no skills whatsoever to registering for our local open league just because haha, never would’ve imagine how fun football is.
thats awesome bro, haikyuu did the same for me it got me and my friend into volleyball 3 years ago and with no prior experience it became a bigger part of my life then i thought it would and I love it. P.S. i know this isnt a flex but im basically good enough to beat most high schoolers and other self taught players lol
I am so happy you love it so much. Manga readers are cursed because since we already know what happens, we end up just comparing the two mediums, and how the animation isn't as amazing as we'd like :(
WHAT DO U MEAN! THE ANIMATION IS TOP TIER
@@HamTheMissile Ever since cour 2 , the animation has been average and not like the starting episodes
Also the ball is living rent free in my mind
@@HamTheMissile animation is good but the manga disign is fire i hope to see that in anime too bcuz upcoming episodes are fire
yeah bro i started watching the anime fell in love with it so much i caught up with the manga and after reading i could barely watch the anime because of how average the animation was compared to the art in the manga
With the amount of budget they have the animation team is doing a fabulous job
Chigiri just hit different for me, this man inspired me to start going out to run and i'm lazy af so this is a lot
yea bro, chigiri and bachira are so cool
Well, Chigiri wasn't lazy.
Nagi is an absolute monster tho too
Chigiri’s theme is no joke for sprints or getting the hype up 💯
FR
I know that Isagi is suppose to be the main character, but something Nagi is like..so unique to me. He’s never played soccer or any kind of sport before he met Reo.
He’s always said to have no motivation for anything and just wants to play his video games. Honestly, gaming could be career for him. But the fact that he’s so good at soccer without ever playing. Shows you how much of a beast he is..
its like ronaldo and messi. the difference is talent and hardwork.
Nagi has a spin off series right now. So you could say he's also a main character.
@@crastofer what series
basically murasakibara from kuroko no basket. He has played before, but never trained and was still the second strongest member of the generation of miracles.
@@ItzClixxy episode nagi
This anime is infectiously hype, it is only the 3rd show that has made me pick up the manga because I just Needed to know what was comming next, and let's just say the hype does not stop
Truee
It’s the first anime that made me read the manga
bro the manga is hype machine
What are the other two?
@@MyJoejoey Seven Deadly Sins, and Vinland Saga, something about their anime made be pick up the manga before their airings ended
''hype incarnate'' you damn right, i read the manga alone straight for like 3 hours while on a slow ass bus and containing myself from running and jumping around was the hardest thing i've ever done, like bro, i was shaking so hard and grinning while reading, i feel like the other 3 passengers would've though i was a psycho if they had looked at me, blue lock has some of the most hype moments and most climax inducing panels ever to me, literally became my favourite manga in those 3 hours.
BRO SAID IT PERFECTLY LIKE FOR REAL
trying not to flail around while reading hype manga is so hard lmao
Damn I had this exact same experience it was so hype
i was reading it during class and god was it difficult to scream whenever a hype moment came
6:46 got me wheezing like a steaming pot
Man this anime was such a pleasant surprise. I never even watched actual soccer but this anime gets me so hype. Not only my favorite sports anime now but if it continues on the path it’s going it’ll becoming one of my favorite anime of all time.
It gets way better lol
100x better
If you think the anime is hype, you should check out the manga. The art is fucking impeccable and I feel bad for anyone waiting to see everything that comes next. It gets *so much better.*
The guy in the poster was actually Kira. His exact hairstyle + mole under his eye. He's barely shown tho, pretty much as a shadow of isagi, since eliminating him was the first step Isagi took towards his change. They put him in the cover to not spoil anything.
Yeah he got it wrong
6:45 I SAW THAT I SAW THAT, YOU CANT HIDE THAT
the fact that he actually thought the new trio would win is absolutely hilarious
The fact that everyone thought Rin is the strongest in Blue Lock is absolutely hilarious
@@ARMYALEX1869 i mean he is
@@Sunlless then why was he on par with shidou during that match? Hm?
@@ARMYALEX1869 Shidou’s the only one close to him. I’d say they’re almost equal but imo Itoshi’s ability to draw out his teammate’s strengths to their limits and synergize is more valuable than Shidou’s one man play.
As pure strikers they’re just about as deadly as each other but I think Itoshi’s capabilities as a leader on the pitch give him the edge.
It looks like Itoshi Rin is getting set up as the big boss fight for this arc in the current manga, being that he hasn’t appeared yet.
Blue lock was so underrated when the manga was coming out where a lot of people I knew dismissed it for being a sports manga, and know seeing it as an anime and the hype behind it has warmed my heart
Manga in English is the Squid Games of Edgelords. I cannot help cringing out 10 times on a single chapter
I think japans run in the World Cup also significantly helped blue lock. The japan first kit ( jersey ) was inspired by blue lock ( or so I’ve heard). With them taking out powerhouses like Germany, Spain, and pushing Croatia definitely helped blue lock as it’s about the World Cup. Anytime Japan scored a goal me and my friends would yell “ blue lock is real”.
THE BLUE LOCK IS REEEEAAALLL
Can we get much higher?
Inspired by blue lock and giant killing.n
@@AmAm-lp8om I'm thinking of getting into giant killing, is it worth the hype? My only problem is with the art style from what i've seen from the anime.
@@catpillar376 maybe I'm living under a rock but I only see a couple of person saying it. Oh dw about the anime i think the anime is old. Try it out, but don't expect a lot of action like blue lock.
I like Blue Lock 🎉
Ngl you lowkey inspiring me to do CZcams what are you using to record and edit?
To be fair, Kageyama's arc is similar to Isagi's when Kageyama met Miya Atsumu and called him a goody two shoes so he finally had a realization that you need both an ego and a mix of teamwork to improve and be the best, which is also Blue Lock's main theme
Maybe you didn't notice since you didn't mention it, but for me one of the main reasons this show is so god damn hype is the music when something great happens. That's why Chighiri finally showing what he's capable of was my hypest moment. That music slaps!!!
The guitar shredding was super hype!
Almost at 1k subs, good luck ^^
After bro sees the squad get separated 😭
This video breakdown was HILARIOUS!! You had me screaming when you called Chigiri ERZA SCARLET 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Frrr Lmaoo
Not gonna lie Haikyuu was the most inspiring show I have ever watched I really don't know which I prefer
9:07 nahhh who finna tell em
Kira will be back 🔥 hopefully…
Blue Lock forced me to read their raw chapters (currently Ch 204). That's just how good they are. The only manga that forced me to do that we're all seinen manga, none of them were shonen manga. It's the first time I getting so much anticipation over a mere shonen manga.
This is obviously not football, but this is what a shonen manga should be.
1. You should grow other side characters, it's tiresome but worth it
2. You should keep some unknown info so that you can hook up fans with mysteries, do that until finale and you'll do good
3. You should have clear worldbuilding and lores, it's ok to not make it obvious, but you need to make sure fans won't be confused
4. Value consistency, since it diminishes plot hole and an obvious plot armor
5. Always know when to use cliffhanger and when to put an important event at the end
6. Be relatable if the story allows it
Really disliking the slow ass pace though I was waiting for the end of that match for like 10 chapters
@@minebrosfinest well it's a balance between "I hope 'character A' will have more screen time" and "goddamn it, end it already"
And I think these many chapters for the Mangaka himself are the perfect meeting point to satisfy both parties. To me it's a bit too long, but I enjoy every panel of it
I don't think relatability matters too much. Like I doubt many can relate to Nagi, Barou, or honestly most of the characters in Blue Lock but look how many people love it. Even in Haikyu. I think the creator just made 3d characters and people attatched themselves onto them.
@@isaaccunningham6171
"... If the story allows it"
I mean I can't be pirate, ninja, or grim reaper. But there's always a way to make the story relatable, if we pick the life of isagi for example, seeing these geniuses topped the class no sweat while we're struggling to find X on math exam, yes that's pretty relatable, the life of a common man who strives for the best. You got one there. (Although isagi isn't a common man on some parts of his life, but the struggle he faced, it reminded me of my past)
@@sightfield1132 I know that. I'm saying I think every show ends up having a relatable character, so focusing on making one isn't necessary.
Isagi Yoichi is de definition of an Egoist, he is just HIM bro
Bro I joined sports anime recently and I love all the characters you mentioned and the animations is INSANEEEEEE
Him calling nagi a little shit even though hes 6’3 lmfao
In the Manga they gave more explanation about Kira leaving, I'm glad he left
what was the explanation
@Tango
At 12 seconds, he had already decided in his head that he was safe
So when he got out, he talked about him being the treasure of Japan. Also, earlier with him talking about him, he wants to defeat Ego's philosophy, but he didn't have the drive to be better I think it was best for everyone.
haikyuu was amazing for its genre. but i started blue lock on chapter 4 of the manga and seeing how its grown so much, its insane. idk i feel like reading the manga and seeing it grow and become a tv show is the worlds best feeling.
Blue lock is the reason I’m into anime lol, maybe because I’m a soccer player I’m hooked to that anime lol
Duuddee the glasses guy looks like the guy from Tomodachi game
the flushing out of bachiras inner thoughts and motivations at the end of the show made me love him even more. if isagi fails, which he wont, bachira would win it all.
Bachira stood out from the very beginning, love that man
9:09 literally next ep : bachira leaves the team
kicking around balls ☠
More blue lock pls very good vid
I am so conflicted between Blue Lock and Aoashi. Both are so good following completely different mentalities
i just enjoy both show . both are good !
@@karna6634 Same
I enjoyed both shows, but I like Blue Lock more when it comes to football. The games in Ao Ashi are very mid.
@@PersonaPrime yeah cuz the games in ao ashi are more realistic and tactical so of course they’ll be mid.
@@suryansdash5830 No, that's not the problem. The problem is that the games are poorly animated. Most of the goals don't show how the ball ended up in the net and you just see it there after the player was shown for a second that he is going to shoot. It's a lack of effort from the animation studio or lack of budget than anything else. Haikyuu is also realistic and tactical, but the games aren't mid like in Ao Ashi.
I really enjoy this anime. Started reading the manga too. I resonated with chigiri at the start as I went through a few shoulder reconstructions due to dislocation in rugby. It was very realistic in the sense of losing hope and 'never being the same again'. Whoever it was that made chigiri as a character really understood the hardships and how much it takes to overcome the mental barrier of injury. Perfect portrayal.
I feel like the later half really pushed Chigiri to the sidelines, but he’s definitely still a top tier character for me!
Barou so hype tho
When this man gave us his backstory on why he didn't watch blue lock I was like dawg no one cares
Interesting how he pointed out everyone looks like a main character. I was thinking the same! & It was weird to have so many cool characters I truly admire and connect with, usually it’s just one or 2, but here it’s like almost everyone’s a final boss. You’d think it’d be overwhelming, but I find it just makes it more engaging
This video is a masterpiece! Keep up the great work
I think that is kira in the picture same hairstyle and his mole is in the same place
Dude I sat down to watch one episode and I ended up watching the hole season.
480 subs is crazy, I just randomly clicked on this video because I've also been watching, reading, and loving this story and the overall vibe convinced me I was watching someone with at least 100,00 subs. Amazing video man keep it up I see you going far.
THANK YOU SO MUCH 🥹🥹
wtf, I wouldn't have realized that if I didn't read your comment he is underrated af
@@tepsiyaa ..?
Bachira literally woke up and chose Violence😂
6:46 AYO WHAT ARE THEY DOIN
Nagi is with yoichi ⚡
I feel the same way you do! Watched episode one for the heck of it and then got HOOKED. Bachira’s character is so well developed!
Haikyuu is more of a down to earth but really cool sports story which is very accurate for the sport and is very carefully done. Blue lock is hype and ego. Both are perfect in their own ways
Nagi enters the chat
👍🏾
Blue Lock seriously changed my thought process and mindset and also how I look at life..... I can say that no other anime/manga did this to me as much as blue lock. In blue lock as soon as you get emotionally attached with a team the next chapter, the teammates are each other's rivals who are trying to crush each other and even crushing each others own teammate to score a goal by themselves...which is totally different from other sports animes where they focus on maximizing teamwork with the same team through out the story. And in Blue lock you can never take anyones affection towards you for granted. For example how Reo thought Nagi will always be by his side but as soon as Nagi gets better than him, he leaves. Every match the main character realizes that there is more room for growth and so much more to learn that he did not know.
Stopped watching right after 3:38
3:48 need me a makima fr😪
Kira gotta comeback on some crazy shi no ways he went out like that
Gonna subscribe because u deserve it man … feel the exact same way u do
"Bachira and Isagi are the best duo up there"
Having read the manga, I can neither confirm nor deny this information
LMAOOO haikyu was the same for me then I read blue lock before the anime dropped, after that I knew blue lock would be my favorite sports anime
congrats on the 1k
Blue lock was so crazy that when the season ended I went straight over to catch up to the manga and I'll tell you it only gets WAY better
The season is still ongoing???
I think that is actually Kira in the poster because that is supose to be everymember of team z at the beggining of the anime. Nagi shows up in later posters with the other characters that become important later.
6:46 💀
6:03 Bro doesnt know what the real "Wild Card" is yet
it isnt nagi behind isagi in that poster it is kira lol
yep
Blue lock inspired me to get better at soccer and Haikyu inspired me to try out volleyball so they’re both very important to me
K u have convinced me I’ll watch it
This channel lowkey underrated
Blue lock is just phenomenal. Like, the new concept they brought into the anime world about being an egoist is just creative af. Instead of comparing people need to learn to enjoy the anime. Isagi's character development is the best, man goes from a normie to an absolute beast.
blue lock is litteraly just demon slayer season 2. but 3x the storytelling and twice the hype
9:12 yeeeeee uuuuuhhhhhhh about that. Funny thing really. 😂😂😂😂
6:46 uhmm yess
Kageyama's arc only got finished in to the top, where the same philosophy as in blue lock was sorta actually employed, but skimping on the details is also something that just happens. The guy goes to training camp and all of the guys there basically made him release his subconcious limiter cogs, therefore having him reach the philosophy that he left in the first season, that he wont match his level to his teammates and that his teammates shouldnt do so either, resulting in the individual quirks of karasuno to have an explosive improvement. Ego is important, yeah, but ultimately it's the ego of all together that make for a team that's truly fearful, which was what haikyuu had the characters do, so what you said, wasnt the best example. I need to also clarify that the team agreed that he was too much of a goody two shoes too, and that he should feel free to go all out, and be the best player on the court if he wants, resulting in kageyama saying "I'll be the best at setting, serving, receiving, and spiking if I need to be" but ultimately, kageyama still wants to be the best setter, choose ur examples wisely man, it's kind of insulting to the author to mutilate characters like that.
you deserve more views but I just binged it today the only reason i didn't want to watch it is because i read the manga a year before there was even anime about it and let me say the stuff to come is beyond me deff needs a season 2 when they end season 1 since that's how good it is but i really just didn't want it to be a disappointment to the manga so i said f it and watched it today all the episodes and it was good extremely good
(edit) okay this isnt a spoiler but the stuff Rin pulls off is stupid busted and op with a twist of funny hes a legit sadist in the manga
Thanks! Good to know this show’s gonna get EVEN better
Rin is a menace 😨
@@SoFizzee you don't even know the levels of peak we're gonna get...
@@SoFizzee bruh the manga is hype machine . i dont know how they pull that off .
And than you read manga... And that's where real fun begins
subbed the moment you called reo daddy
what if hira comes back stronger than ever and puts a really good match for isagi and the others
pretty sure that is kira in the poster not navi because it’s only team z and it’s doesn’t really look like nagi
You’re right you’re right, I was just trying to use that as an example to show how Kira was being hyped up only to disappear on ep 2.
I wasn’t being clear enough, mbmb😅
Peak new gen
Soccer SOCCER NO SIRY BOB ITS FOOOTBALLLLLL or cut ok
I also got caught by Kira being Isagi's main rival. When I first read it, it wasn't obvious Isagi was gonna hit the bell at Kira due to the paneling. So I thought the ball was gonna hit Isagi but Kira would shove him out of the way and take the hit and go out, because I was spoiled by typical shonen friendship Bullshit. Then, the thing that got me hooked happened, Isagi slammed it into Kira's face. That was when I realized, Blue Lock was one of my favorite mangas. Best first chapter I've ever read.
I also was worried about blue lock surpassing haikyuu (my favourite piece of fiction ever) but now I realise that the two serve different purposes
Hq has a lot more teamwork but it’s still about being strong enough to fight on your own, it’s about being bold enough to believe and dream even if it seems impossible
In Blue lock everyone believes the same dream from the jump, they all want a spot on the u20 team to win the wc, it’s less about believing and more about rewriting what it takes to be a star player, idk just my take
To sum it up...haikyuu is like an avg sports anime/manga but it's the best in it's genre.
Blue lock is more like football meets squid game(except no one dies lol)
@@venomgaming2077 kind of but I think he said it better
@@jumping_beanz6209 I'm not having a competition of who says it better I just summed it up lol
@@venomgaming2077 I know your summing it up
This yt channel onna comeup
Even when reading the Manga I was so excited for the next chapter
I play soccer and dribbling is my main thing so seeing bachira just makes me want to be better
Seeing Bachira really become his title on Episode 18 really makes me love the show even more.
Isagi broke him and made Bachira go from King to Emperor. Just seeing him become an unstoppable force as he devours the playing field. Honestly props to the author who made it so that Bachira didn't become the type of person to give in to the "play as a team" that Isagi wanted. And when Isagi congratulated Bachira after purely dominating the game, that hit even different. The author really made it so that Isagi caused Bachira to evolve, almost as if Isagi wanted that to happen.
its Barou* lop
