Well, it was fun for my eyes while it lasted that we weren't on the field, but now we're back to CGI and moving JPGs. It's this episode that really made me realize, so does author just despise Isagi or something?? Because eleven minutes in and he's gotten more hype and done more than Isagi has done ALL game. And yeah, there's the iconic "here comes the dopamine" panel... they did something justice, I guess.


But here comes Nagi's boyfriend... Shidou with Sae is one thing, but these two are just on a whole nother level of it lol. Meanwhile Oliver's over here talking about "I'm going to put a leash on you"... LIKE HELLO??? We ARE playing soccer right???

2ND HARF, really?... come on, people.

CHIGIRI MY MAN 💔😭 And Ikki with that sacrifice, yeesh. You will be remembered. 😔

Shidou just. Coming. Right there. How is that not an instant red card. Pfft. Nagi casually making his bf blush, and then collars again... geez. What even is going on anymore. Ah well. At least Hiori's also there again.

Come to think of it though. U20 would be completely steamrolled if it wasn't for their... actually-not-team-members they pilfered from elsewhere. Exhibition match, my foot. Genuine question btw: why do we need the CGI legs/feet/cleats (let's face it, mostly cleats)?? Someone really seems to have a boner for them somewhere, but they just... really don't add anything to anything.

Isagi and Bachira moms in additional time continue to be perfect, even before they start discussing their boys- nudie buddies indeed. 🤣🤣🤣 Can we have actual footage of that pls.

So cool. Shidou's entry to the Under-20 team brought a new energy to the team and soon after that, they scored a really great goal. It was so good. Sae and Shidou work so perfectly together. LOL.

We also have some subs this time around with Niko and Chigiri feeling not at the top of their game and the subs have started to shine already. Can't wait to see more. Still no goal for Isagi.

Well, Shidou goal and Sae passing was Fire ....

Well, Chigiri, you've done your job great ...

Some scenes are well animated , but most of them are either Powerpoint or bad cgi [ or something like that]

Two pump-chump is crazy, lol. And so is the synergy between Sae and Shidou. Loved the determination of the awakened Niko as well.

Sucked to see him and Chigiri go, but Reo is a great sub. I need Ego to put Barou in too.

This one was a lot enjoyable. I noticed a bit more animation in this episode. If this season even got Season 1 treatment, it would've become one of my favorites. And, I don't know how it's in the manga but in the anime I feel like they're using a lot of unnecessary effects.

Always love it when other blue lock players get the spotlight in this game. Reo really made his presence known there at the end. I didn't forget about his chameleon ability but wasn't expecting him to copy Aiku damn.

I thought the U-20 striker guy was gonna get subbed but seems like its just a role change. Interesting that he's taking on the Isagi role. While Isagi on the other hand just can't seem to shake off Aiku as Aiku is on his ass all the time. Can't wait for Isagi's awakening, it's time for him to score.

You guys are just delusional kkkkkk Do you think that was good? Every single scene is just the player doing a little movement and the ball either coming into or out of frame. Also, the occasional ball spinning in the air and the characters talking while still. Not to mention the zooms in between actions to replace animation.

The synergy between Shidou and Sae completely changed the course of the match. Niko had a solid performance on defense, but it was unfortunate that he still ended up injured. Poor Chigiri also had to be substituted; he is clearly not physically ready for a full-intensity match yet.

The substitutions changed the game, though. I was expecting Nagi's "boyfriend" Reo to come in, but I didn't expect him to play defense. His ability to copy others' skills will definitely come in handy there. What really took me by surprise was Hiori's entrance. I was absolutely shocked with her impact, especially since she didn't show much potential when she teamed up with Isagi.

Now the big question is: who will be the final substitute?

Loved the episode. Loved Shidou throughout the whole episode, outstanding performance. Loved the ending as well, with Reo teasing Shidou. Also love the chemistry between Shidou & Sae. Excited for the upcoming episodes!

The set-piece sequence was really good, especially Chigiri's sprint. Maybe it was a priority? Maybe they worked backward on the animation since the best parts are going to be in the second half.
I have read 2 perfect chapters of manga; They are Usogui Chapter 203 and Onani Master Kurosawa Chapter 23.

@Narizor Good choice of substitution, I thought he would do it earlier but I have a feeling Rin will get subbed at some point, opening up the striking for isagi.

The dangerous combination of Sae and Shidou via substitution has given Japan's U-20 new life and now the score is tied at 2-2. With Niko injuring himself to foul Shidou and Chigiri reaching his limits, it was time for Blue Lock to make their own substitutions with Reo and Hiorin. Reo has proven to be a valuable asset by countering Shidou's attack by copying the U-20's defense and using it against them.

aye sick ep!! i can overlook the CGI/dialogue weaknesses bc of Shidou's goal and Reo's copying!! those were awesome. gave me goosebumps

2-2. great game so far. surprised zantetsu didn't sub on (nagi movie faked me out)

i haven't liked reo for the series so far but copying adds a cool take to his character. can't help comparing him to kise though who is the actual goat

They're overdoing the shounen monologues and SFXs this season. It's cringe. Last season was a normal sports anime. This season is full-on shounen.
People with low average anime scores don't have high standards. They are just bad at choosing good anime to watch.

I’m that Barry is gunna come I no at some point for sure but what role will he play? He’d have to be central surely but you can’t replace rin or isagi as there essential to one another.

Definitely the most enjoyable episode of the season for me so far. Some scenes were done pretty well imo, such as Shidou's goal, Hiori's kick, and Reo's chameleon defense. I gotta say though, the show's constant use of the Sae-walking-with-his-hands-on-his-hips image never fails to make me laugh.

Everytime i think it is okay, i will watch another anime like Shanfro or Ranma, and Blue Frame is bad again.
I will not watch a new season, if it will be animated like this.

Replacing Wakatsuki with Shidou was totally a great choice. He is like a devil, strong-willed and efficiently football player. He’s hard to stop, seeing only the trajectory of his own goal.

I think Barou should have been introduced instead of Hioru. He would have countered Shidou, but it seems Ego had other plans.
