| good ep, no changes for the second half, maybe Reo and Barou won't get on as subs after all but hopefully they do still in the second half. Maybe there will be some injuries. |
| I have a third testicle that gives me psychic powers |
Completely removed Shidou's angel wings close up of his face surely had the same menacing effect, huh  |
| Honestly, not bad. I still don't have high hopes for the rest of the season though. |
 |
| We know what's coming for the next episode lmao |
 |
| Poor Rin he was such a cute kid and Sae was always a little shit with his blunt cut bangs🤣 |
 |
| I'm still not over how much of a visual downgrade this season is ...well drawn stillframe simulator :( |
| Finally a somewhat enjoyable episode. Shame we're going back to Frame Lock next ep onwards. Though they can still surprise me with Rin's character. |
 |
| Memories of the Itoshi brothers!!! appetizer before the second half!!! kekeke |
| Huh makes sense now why rin Doesn't like his bro, but at the same time.. yea I can understand why sae said those things. In order for rin to open his third eye. |
 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. |
| I thought there was going to be a deeper story, Rin's just brocon, lmao. |
| Actually good episode imo since it didn't rely on the animation this time, it was interesting to see Rin and Sae's backstory after the first half of the match... also fun to see the parents cheering for their son lol |
 |
| What was that additionnal time lol |
 |
| So that was dumb. Was that story supposed to make me feel something other than confusion? Sae lives his life as a good big brother. Goes away for 4 years, then comes back calling his brother "worthless," and "having no value," then tells him he doesn't want Rin in his life or as a brother... Uh, wut? It also doesn't make since that Rin got so mad when Sae said his new dream is to become the best midfielder in the world. Midfielders still score goals, and Rin could've still played side by side with him, so why did he act like Sae just shot him in the face? Either way, if he just waited another couple minutes, Sae would give him a real reason to be upset (as mentioned above). But none of it makes sense. If they give us some BS excuse like "Sae realized Rin's potential & wanted to give him someone to hate in order to motivate him!" it'll just confirm this series' first season was a fluke, and that Blue Lock's writing has fallen off a cliff. We don't need those stupid tropes. They never make sense in other series, and it wouldn't make sense here either. I'm just preemptively venting, but it feels like the way this is going, that'll be the justification they give for Sae acting like a dick. |

| The relationship of the Itoshi brothers growing from being close brothers who adored and acknowledged each other's strengths, to becoming strikers on their own regard and disapproving each other...it's the predecessor problem here. Aside from the parents gleaming at their sons being brightest stars (though Chigiri has got the prettiest sister siblings), the executives behind the scenes are displeased, especially the U-20s manager Buratsuma. The half-time analysis to go through and do better for the 2nd half, it's nothing until the final second. And Sae proved his point that they lost the 1st half without Shidou with Oliver's bet, and it's finally time to draw the trump card alongside the Genius. Even as they grew up, both Rin and Sae have similarities and differences to achieve the same goal in tandem in their own right, as Rin dominates domestically, and Sae goes international, racking his fame. But a change of tactics from striker to midfielder for Sae, and to betray his younger brother's feelings with the skills he's learned in the 4 years away, that's where the dream ended between both brothers to become the rivalry it is today. The 2nd half beckons, alongside Sae's reckoning with Shidou, who's dream will tumble? |
 |
| Rin and Sae's backstory was well animated. Not the best from Blue Lock but with what this season has provided us with, I can't really complain. Technically Sae did give Rin a reality check about strikers and someone always being better than you in something. There's this theory that Leonardo Luna of the World Five who's also in the same Spanish club as Sae, crushed his dream of being a striker and then he settled for the role of a mid fielder. It's also true that Rin's potential is only tied to his brother whom he wants to conquer. Shidou's finally making his appearance in the 2nd half. |
