FIRST LETS GOOO
Nishioka aka aomori’s messi was always going to end up this way. i just rewatched the anime, and guess who it first is that tells us about nishioka,,, Kira. and guess what else, he listed out many players he recognized right? not a single one of them have been prevalent in the story. and some might say “ah bad writing!” but no, it’s actually amazing writing. because Kira represented the current state of Japanese football, and was telling us about the other current representers of japanese football. but blue lock was all about doing away with that. so just like Kira got thrown to the way side, all of the others he mentioned did too cuz they were like him. we’ll see if the author does anything with Nishioka,, but i kind of hope he doesn’t, or if he does it’s that he was the “Kira that changed”
That is not “amazing writing” 💀
Yh that makes sense and works for what they’re trying to do with blue lock. But they didn’t have to have such interesting designs if they were irrelevant

Great theory
Love this take actually and i never looked at it this way
W take bro
If you look at Zantetsu’s weapon arsenal as a whole, he should be way better than he is right now. He had the speed+good dribbling+a golden zone in SELECTION 1
exactly bro but he got wasted
The problem with this characters is the money system in the NEL. Let's say the author decided that Shizuka would score in a Barcha game, that would gave him about 20 million, that amount would have placed him high on the board, leaving behind characters that we know and enjoy (like Raichi, Kurona, Nanase, Zantetsu). From a fan perspective, imagine if your favorite player was left out of the U20 world cup because some random we never saw before scored
That’s kinda how it is with Kiyora, he’s more or less an NPC and yet he’s very likely to make the World Cup team instead of someone like Nanase
very true
Thats just shows the problem with this money system.
@@MuddyWater-fn3rj I'd actually say it better reflects the limits of the medium. At the end of the day, we could only focus on 23 players in a world cup match, and only 11 could be on the field at any given moment.
If that sounds unfair or wasteful, yeah, sports are kinda like that. And it's an unfortunate reality that people who want to go pro deal with on a regular basis.
I think it’s so crazy Zantetsu isn’t being used more, because he’s literally a popular character and he’s super cool, great personality, cool playing style, and literally making him work under Loki is so cool and he doesn’t even like specially train with Loki
I think the Japan U-20 defenders also should be on this list, especially Neru Teppei who was done so dirty by the author
Very true
I was fully expecting Tokimitsu to turn into some sort of monster in the NEL due to him going into someone like Julian Loki's club. Since Loki is super confident and egoistic I figured Tokimitsu was going to get over his nervous and anxious personality at least a little bit, but from the looks of it as of right now its not looking good. Which really sucks since Tokimitsu is my favorite character was super strong in the 2nd selection but it is what it is
man so many what ifs so little room for exploring them
nvm for niko if he kept meta vision up all game that would be weird since isagi had to train his body to do that
no, in the MC isagi got it after 1-1 score and kept it all game same as Niko
Isagi is older than niko so it makes sense
isn't that the whole idea behind entering the pro league of Soccer, that It becomes much harder to express those individual styles on the field when surrounded by so many good players?
SPOILERS BELOW:
Nagi says Hiiragi only limits himself to the extent of his knowledge (data) and compares him to Isagi who believes of the potential of others to exceed their limitations. That’s why Hiiragi’s downfall was imminent.
Great vid as always
I agree fully with Zantetsu, Karasu, and Kunigami.
Now I feel Niko getting done dirty was fine since we always see stronger meta-vision users anyway, so having an inferior to Isagi wouldn't hurt. Though I do think he could've gotten even better as a defender, so I'm 50/50 there.
As for the "random" players, I feel this is more an issue with manga as a whole where we get an interesting design, only to find out the character is completely irrelevant after a little while. I can't say I expected much from the ones that only had a cool design and nothing else.
Kaiser I fully disagree with, but I'd need an entire essay to explain why.
And the N.E.L is another 50/50 because while I can understand a few points, I feel people forget just how insane the potential of some of these characters are.
that's true (looking at you Kashimo from JJK)
Zantetsu, Karasu, and Kunigami.
These three are all playing right now and will have their moments.
I won’t stop glazing endoji his design is top tier in general😭 author has to use him
Saramadara Kairu is also Him 😤🐐
EXACTLY! Endojis design looks better than most we got playing rn. I woulda loved to see his design on somebody like Hiori. While I like hioris design I wanted to see endoji so much more when I first saw all the designs. A shame fr
ZANTETSU was supposed to be a beast in Nel but got so mis used at least episode Nagi showed his greatness
fr the concept of speed blitzing characters is really cool to bad he's not being used
i does be forgetting creators does be watch each others vids sometimes .
I think "the Messi of omori" is a joke on how all those "new Messi" that show up never pay off like bojan krkic or xavi simmons
Xavi was never a next messi
I remember that xavi was the ethan mbappe, before ethan came into the spotlight. He's still doing well for himself and has plenty of room to grown, he's only 20 after all.
Xavi Simmons is genuinely class and when he returns to psg next season when mbappe leaves he will be crucial to them.
@@stefan-7712 yeah he's good this is not a diss to him specifically but he came to mind when I thought that
@@sonicwithglasses131 I remember him being called that but maybe I remembered wrong
finally I see several blue lock channels and no one talked about this problem at N.E.L
I actually am thinking of making a whole video on it after i explored it here i feel it needs more light
@@ACE_LockI think the best way to understand this is to think that Birkenstock is probably top 10 U-20 defenders
This man talking about the one major flaw of blue lock being the fact that we only ever get isagi perspective which yea he’s the mc but this is one thing kuroko basketball does better the blue lock in being we get other perspectives and games without kuroko and Kagami
Fr broo
I thought we'd get one when bastard were on break
This is so cap, blue lock display the side character more and there also a lot more chaptacter shown in blue lock, so also have the Nagi spin off showing some of them, kuroko no basket only mainly focuses on the generation of miracles..
If they made the blue lockers struggle to grow ..yall would say they are growing too slow ...i am just tirwd atp
Otoya not on the list???
Karasu will definitly have development since he's playing against hiori atm. Same goed for kunigami whose currently the most focused on. Also, zantetsu isn't getting neglected, both in the current manga and current parts of episode nagi. Nikko also has had a lot of development.
As i said Otoya got saved in the NEL
From my perspective, the U20 Japan game was the shibua incident of Blue Lock. Action-packed, super hype, and giving us strong players and plot points we want to follow up with in future chapters. Where we're at now represents the buildup to the next big moments, with enough payoffs sprinkled in that things don't get too boring.
Kunagami has been an important part of BM, with hints of his past trauma being shown and the ego to stand up for himself and others being destroyed for Ego's schemes. If he immediately reverted, his arc would be super rushed, but as it stands, the U20 selections are used to build him up so he can have a cool moment in U20 worlds.
Also, remember that the goal of most Blue Lockers isn't to be the best U20 player in the world, but to be the best player in the world period. Thus, if Blue Lockers weren't even on the level of the people who would play in these selections, how would they hope to face their coaches. And those coaches have been getting some SERIOUS hype, from warping the game whenever they enter to showing hints of a power struggle that Blue Lockers are currently just pawns for (Loki using the best strikers we know just to train a midfielder we've never met is kinda cold if you think about it). Thus, it's not exactly weird that Blue Lockers are the key strikers for their respective teams, since the strikers who could devour them are coaching instead of playing.
As for characters we've only ever heard about in passing, I don't think they count as "underdeveloped." Isayama is an absolute GOAT at character designing, and if you look at that panel from the opening of the manga, there are a lot of interesting-looking characters that never even get panned to. Their use is to imply a bigger scale than can be fully fleshed out in a series of small-group games and to fill in the slots of people Isayama needs to exist for realism purposes but can't develop for time ones. If they were ever developed in a meaningful way, we would expect them to have a quantity of panels that is unrealistic to devote to people who won't matter for the overall plot. However, by leaving them unexplored, we are left to imagine what sort of character arcs they are going through, which uses the same principles as cosmic horror writers do to exploit the reader's imaginations and make the story feel more personal.
Oh, and also serves the theming, because if you want to learn about people who look unique, interesting, and vibrant, but never made a splash on the world stage, how many of those people do you think exist in high school and colegic-level sports? Even if it's the "way things work," and everyone who does matter plays knowing they could become irrelevant with a few bad games, it's kinda tragic that so many cool stories never come to light even though they should. And if you, as a consumer, would push this hard to learn about the fate of fictional characters a Mangaka doesn't have time to develop, why not spend that effort to look into real-life people who genuinely deserve the attention, but wether through misfortune or mismanaged talent, never got the opportunity to shine?
We need to let go of Isagi's pov at least for a while , things get better when the focus isn't on him tbh like the U20 game
exactly my point
Kunigami was the biggest waste of potential especially with the amount of hype he carried from the wildcard. I don’t think the rest are wasted potential besides the dark side of blue lock of course I don’t Kaiser was all that to begin with i mean Chris even said kaiser only picks on players weaker than him which is the complete opposite of isagi
İ think author invested side characters too much
So a all side characters has somewhat fanbase but we cant see all side characters since nature of the blue lock
true as well
Zantetsu is getting shafted purely because of Loki's obsession with Charles. Loki seems to straight up not care at alll about actually guiding and teaching his Blue Lock students. He only cares about making them better as it applies in the context of making Charles shine and getting him to mature as a player. Meaning everyone who isn't Shidou or Rin is going to get sidelined
Great video,made a lot of sense!
glad u enjoyed
2:01 Zantetsu was on the sarting line up for the U20 match
He was on the bench with barou, Nanade and Tokimitsu
he wasn't he was benched
Kaiser deserves an award for most L's taken atp.
iikr lmaoo
Tbf is it really Kaiser fault? In terms of feats, stat and weapon Kaiser outclass almost if not all Blue locker. I personally think it all his teammate fault for keep memeing and got their spot stolen by the Blue lock player who refuse to play for him.
Yuki is the dribbler to Bachira
?
Nahh bro Yuki has other insane weapons like his speed and shot
@@ACE_Lock I mean I get what you’re saying, Yuki isn’t on par with bachiras dribbling either
@@squirrel176 exactly
i wanned another dribbling focused guy, not like Sae Hiori and Yuki
I respact that you gived the light on karasu...He should be up there with the likes of rin/barou/and shidou/nagi in this last arc because of how he and the top 5 were hyped in the pre U20 game as best BL players+ placing above nagi after everything we saw nagi could do and so much more
Bro peak break down 🗣️
I sub
4:17 HAD ME OMG
Can you do a video where you explain every character's aura weapons and designs that suit their character, like seriously both in the anime and manga, please your analysis videos are so freaking good I can't find anything wrong
I have a video planned for next week then i'll make a video Explaining every weapon in Blue Lock
@ACE_Lock and aura Please man, the auras are just bad ass
my boy akira endoji gotta show up!😫
Fr, when I first saw his design I was glazing it like crazy. I thought he was gonna put up NUMBERS. And it’s such a letdown
I don’t think Niko was wasted potential. As much as a rivalry can be formed between him Isagi. It wasn’t really a rivalry after the first selection. Niko has improved a lot too but Niko is still 2 years younger than him
Rin being new gen 11 level makes sense, maybe barou and isagi too, but im sorry theres no way shidou, hiori and aiku are aswell thats just a bit silly
i mean shidou is a really good striker on par with rin, hiori and aiku have meta vision
@@Zero-ux4kh what sets rin apart from shidou, is that rin can create chances all on his own, he has the perfect skillset to score on his own while shidou heavily depends on who is passing to him, also niko has mv too so maybe that makes him ng 11 aswell 🥱
i said they are up there not new gen level but close
O problema é que as outras seleções só tem um new gem e o Japão tem três
W video 🐐
For the final point i think the point that the other nel players (not blue lock) are so blitzed is because these random people from other countries are in their usually perfect team with good synergy and dynamic and suddenly they have the worlds most egotistical players of course they arent gonna play the best
Worst wasted potential is Ishikari, who even performed good in the third selection, was chosen as a sub for the Blue Lock Eleven, but never got to play in the NEL and now has no bid while others like Nishioka, Himizu and Haiji do.
There’s too many “unique” characters in the story and not enough for those characters to do. It’s better to focus on developing a handful of characters and their dynamics like the second selection instead of trying to make 40 characters equally relevant.
I agree with most of your points. Something to be hopeful for is that there is a really high amount of unknown players in the u20. Kaiser only came to boost his rep and find a new club. So i could see the author coming up with many reasons why tons of other talented players decided not to join.
i hope bro, i hope
@@ACE_Lock was thinking about plausible excuses and the biggest one is that japan is still a "back water country" in terms of football.
And while yes you could get an opportunity to play with a pro, is that really the best use of your time if you currently live in a really competitive/established country?
Honestly i dont think so. Your priorities would be out of order if you seeked clout and some spotlight over rigorous training.
In fact i think most people have more to lose by joining the N.E.L. than they do to gain.
If you win, you beat some scrub japan players(worlds view not mine). And if you lose you completely humiliate yourself, as well as waste time you couldve spent training against top clubs full roster.
Kunigami being dropped to DM is so embarrassing
and he says yes Sir all of a sudden
@@ACE_Lock "the copy of Noel Noa" doesnt live up to his name😂😂. I think this shows that copies will never be good as the original
Two months later, we had kaiser's development, gg
Called it + he noticed what i have been saying about him avoiding strong opponents
give kunigami time,,, give the author timeeee chilllllll
he a defensive midfielder now lmao
what’s wrong with that he won’t see the field if he plays striker there’s too much competition there
I feel like the NEL wasted so many interesting characters, like you said. On one hand, Blue Lock is becoming OP, but on the other hand, it's the same people. I would've loved to see more of the extras/non developed characters do something for their team (I.E: adding Hiiragi & Nishioka moments in the Manshine match). Because it mostly feels like each team is conformed only by 1-4 members besides their coach and/or New Gen 11 and not much more (Barcha only has Bachira & Otoya, Manshine has Chigiri, Reo & Nagi, Ubers has Barou, Aiku, Niko and Sendou). Of course, this is an exception for Bastard and PxG because they're the two most focused teams of the arc
I think like we should see the spain vs England match. Spain is the first team we have seen and we haven’t seen more and I think he should be nice to see more from Ottoya, who is the most underrused of the original blue lock top 6. But this is specially important for reo and nagi ´s arc. They are two of the best characters with awesome weapons but they are getting cooked right now.
Good edit
So that means messi and Ronaldo exists in this universe?
they actually do check Ep 1
Itoshi sae is a world eleven
a new gen 11
Also the Japan u20 defenders are all wasted charachter definetly
Very true unfortunately
U20 World Cup is not the end of blue lock. We gotta win that World cup ! We gonna have time skip arc
Bachira has someone to compete against in term of dribbles? Did you forget about Yukimiya?
bro thinks he could get away with playing the shirou theme
Bro, why does niko says Domain expansion lmao
it was a meme and then i decided to keep it
Wsg acelock
Have you read the latest chapters
yes i am up to date
bro forgot tokimistu
Second 🎉
Kunigami is Ichigo done wrong , W video as usual
Ikr, sadg
I feel that while Zantetsu has potential but his low IQ is part of the factors for the current situation
i hope this was explored at lease in the Nagi spin off so it give us an idea
L takes
what would a W take be?
Watch the video before you comment
