I know it’s hard to believe, but that mister captain of Japan U-20 is “actually” an U-20, and not someone in his mid 30s. Really I don’t know what was going through the author's mind when he was drawing some of these characters. By the way, this season has been advertised over this one match, which was dreadfully long in the manga, which I can’t say I remember much of it, but you know, with how this season has gone till this point, I think they did one good thing here, and it was kind of showing everyone’s POV before heading into this one match. I mean we need to see the build-up.
Btw, I think it’d be the first time we’ll see a match in a proper stadium too in this series. Got bits and pieces in some of the flashbacks but that’s not it. Good that at least these kids were shown a bit nervous, even though the heart beating fast is blue, nervousness is nervousness. Anyway, most importantly, the PPT ANIMATION HASN’T GONE ANYWHERE. “They’re saving it for the U-20 match”, yeah, sure lmaooo.
This downfall really needs to be studied tbh.

@Softhenic03 bro complaining about everything imaginable lmao its not uncommon for characters to look completely different than their actual age in anime. this isn't some random thing that the author thought up out of nowhere, and i'd say it works well here considering it makes aiku, blue lock's first significant challenge, appear that much more menacing
| @EmilCioran @Softhenic03 plus it happens irl too. 16 y/o looking like mid 20, or vice versa. facial hair can do a lot to your perceived appearance. its aint that big of a stretch to say oliver is under 20. |
| Finally that filler arc is over. The Animation is still bad sadly. I wonder why they just don't kick Shidou out of Blue Lock, he's just Barou bad written lol @ramenyst @Softhenic03 I think y'all took it too seriously. "Age" makes no sense to Anime characters so trying to apply irl logic to Oliver is just a waste of time lol. |

| Okay, i have to admit the build up for the match got me HYPED!! But that random CGI Feet caught me off guard lol I really hope the Match Animation is gonna be good π€ |
 |
| So hype! And no (well, minimal) slideshow! The direction and music was fanstastic! And Aiku sounds like he's flirting every time he speaks. Really can't wait until the next episode |
| I swear the people saying Oliver doesn't look his age have probably stopped interacting with the outside world in any meaningful way. |
 |
| The hype is real, game day is way different compared to just their training holy. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| We're at the U-20 and starting off with Oliver being a beast and blocking Isagi and Bachira's play. |
 |
| Oliver betting with Sae to keep Shidou out of their way after his beef against their star player Sendou, it's a case of compromise between the big star and the team captain, that still, will determine who rises to the top. Less than 24 hours to go before The Big Stage, and everyone within the Blue Lock XI is hyped as much as the U-20s are alongside the audience wanting to see the results of Blue Lock vs. the JFU, this is really one of the most hyped moments of the series, and it's done exceptionally well. The next 90 mins of the stage will determine their name into the world stage, as cheers erupt to excitement with a jam-packed stadium right at Blue Lock's own facility. It's go time, and Blue Lock hits first blood, though it doesn't take long for the U-20s to start guessing their play instinctively, as is the case for captain Oliver. And this proves Isagi's way to catch his flow, putting him on his back as the target to achieve. Good luck, Blue Lock, you're gonna need it. |

| The first half was really well done. The anticipation for the match was well portrayed. The OST was awesome and the vibes were immaculate. The walk to the field was so badly animated. Just bad CGI fest. The manga dd that so much better π Oliver's snake panel should've been green since that's one of his colours. The red looks so mid. Good setup episode. Ain't expecting good and consistent animation from them. |

| Day of the match with U20 team. Match is in the blue lock stadium, open to the public. U20 team arrives. Ego Jinpachi’s speech is telecasted throughout the place, but no one in the public gives a damn about it. Isagi’s family attends the match. I forgot if it’s his parents π . The stadium is packed, and the match begins. I usually don’t mind animation in any anime, but this is so clear to me compared to other episodes. Seems like they are struggling with the animation for the match. Isagi found the next person he can consider his challenge |
