| They’re making it look as if the coach who looked like Morpheus was telling the wrong thing. Football is actually a team sport after all, just that we don’t advertise that in this series. Still Aiku is the only character from this u-20 who actually isn’t all the trash talk and does try to think rationally from time to time. Be that it may be, the substitutes have really tried to make a difference, and tbh, they have made as well. Not the biggest fan of Reo or Barou but yeah this match would’ve been over if it wasn’t for these two. Reading the same in the manga felt infuriatingly long back then, though here, not getting some super planned cliffhangers every next minute have actually made things easy. That goal really is what makes Barou the kind of character he is. Dude delivered the cause he was brought in for , so yeah, the celebration is fine lol. Ignore the yellow card, but man, we always say how weirdly Reo is obsessed with Nagi but this guy is obsessed as well, with his Isagi-hunting lmao. Good kind of obsession, if you ask me. Still even with Barou's goal, the best part has to be Isagi's break down after seeing Sae. Dude would have a lot of them going forward as well, so yeah, it ain't the last. |

| Well, that intro hit as close to home as it ever could have. Water u doing, Oliver, you weren't supposed to get so emotional and get me right in the kokoro.... 😔 Match has gotten kinda boring tbh, the slideshow style might not be doing it any favours either though that's hardly the only issue. Nice that Gagamaru also gets his moments, even though he's chained to the goal. Isagi failing to include SAE of all people in his calculations though, after everything that's happened, is such obvious bs idiocy just to set Barou up, it's almost insulting. And no, Rin, sorry, it's not your story. GODDAMU! Additional time absolutely SLAYS yet again, though.... 🤣 not just with the silly either, but simply being kinda grounded. Compared to everything that happens on the field, it's totally common tier goofing off and it's always good to get a reminder that this is what they really are, in spite of it all. Seems like we're getting a double episode next week? Which is good, letting the tail end dangle into the new year would've been kinda awkward. |

| That’s what you get by introducing an anomaly to an equilibrium system every now and then, good thing it worked out for Blue Lock here. Rin’s looking to find his groove and Isagi seems to have unlocked something too. On the other hand, Captain’s looking sharp. Well poised for the finale, here’s to hoping we can get the production value that really complements it to finish it off on a high… Additional time was spot-on, lmao. Baro Baro Kun is guaranteed for world peace! |

| isagi the heart of blue lock according to sae finally baro aka sukuna of jjk same voice scores a goal |
| Aiku's story was pretty good. He had that Blue Lock Spirit as well but he was rejected as a Striker and decided to become the Best Defender and he's the ultimate testing ground for Blue Lock in this match. That's who they have to surpass to win. The plays were really cool. Isagi's brain was working hard for that goal. Everyone played their part so perfectly for that goal and Barou just stole it. LOL. Luckily, he's on our side. But, we leveled the score. But, the fire is burning stronger than ever in everyone. Can't wait for the last episodes to air. |

| My man Barou pulled through 😤 |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Lmao not Barou getting a yellow card for stripping 🤣 |
 |
| ISAGI THE GOAT. This sht so hyped its like over in 5mins, bro. 2 episode finale next week, I cant wait anymore AAA |
| Additional time was a jumpscare |

| The best and worst of Barou… |
| Isagi got the final piece.. It's time for his awakening |
 |
| Reo's copy of Nagi's technique and Barou's goal were definitely the highlights of the episode. Also really liked how we got more insight on Aiku's character. I probably would've enjoyed this episode more overall if there wasn't so much of Isagi yapping. Wtf was that additional time though lol.....I wasn't so weirded out until that one frame with Barou bending down and spreading his legs while talking to Tokimitsu. |

 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. |
| Love how Rin is so obsessed with being the main character, not accepting that Yoichi is. Also Leo copying Nagi was insane, loved it. Loved Barou's insane goal too. Really looking forward for some big Yoichi awakening that will surprise the whole crowd in addition to both teams. Excited for what's to come! |

| King Barou finally scored a goal and now its all tied up again. I can see Aiku joining Blue Lock if this game ends in a tie after seeing his backstory. Barou in a maid outfit was something I didn't need to see. lol. |
 |
| I liked Oliver's story. It really embodies what it means to be a great defender and at the same time a great leader and captain. Although his coach forced him to stop being a forward (although I don't think it was a bad decision considering he helped the team), he found a new purpose by becoming the best defender, a position often undervalued compared to forwards. Although he wants to shine and prove that he is better than forwards, he knows that he needs them to flourish so that his country's football can advance, supporting the new generations. I hope that future players who are not forwards, are as relevant and interesting as Oliver. Special mention for Gagamaru, who is a beast as a goalkeeper. Barou's goal was somewhat expected, but it was still incredible. They know how to set the mood with the soundtrack and effects, despite not animating the scenes as such. It was exciting. What I didn't expect was to see Barou as a maid. BARO, BARO, KYUN! |

that save from gagamaru was craazy didnt expect it, its always the sports animeis that shock me like that, i loved this ep
@vankoshtorata For real he was like a scorpion out there: Man the way my jaw DROPPED when I saw this |
| Snake defender blooming, tho Reo and Gagamaru superhuman counter-defense denied the chance. Phew. Time to our mc-kun scoring his perfect puzzle? Nah. Sae is just ready to stop that outta nowhere. Then sec later, unexpectedly our Stripper King also outta nowhere nab Rin ball into the real goal. Alright, King, you deserve the darkness score. But what the heck with the additional time this time? I need to bleach my eyes! Looking forward to see the next. |

| @Kanelbullar SAME i rarely actualy visually react on something |
| As expected, Barou was able to score the tie goal and I should have also mentioned that he would have taken his shirt off as a way to celebrate. He reminds me of a couple of other players although they don't spout the nonsense and cringe dialogue he does but that makes him what he is so I guess it's ok. Regardless, ironic that the episode centered around yet another supposed striker turned defender was the one where Blue Lock scored and now there's only 15 minutes left. Tension is in the air, who will sco-it's Isagi isn't it? |

| barou's goal was so hype and i completely forgot about gagamaru's save, that caught me off-guard and was a really cool reference to higuita. aiku focus was good too. vankoshtorata said: that save from gagamaru was craazy didnt expect it, its always the sports animeis that shock me like that, i loved this ep Kanelbullar said: was a reference to this iconic save from a player who was also a striker-keeper btw;For real he was like a scorpion out there: |

| Nice, Barou maid content at the end |
idc what ya'll say this shit is actually peak XD 10/10 from reo's copy to sae's dialogue to barou's goal. hella goosebumps i really didn't think barou would score!! what's the score gonna end as? 4-3 with isagi? or 4-4 with isagi + sendou? 5-4 with rin?? got no clue |
 |
| Ooo, I loved seeing everyone level up this episode, especially Aiku. I'm still kinda baffled that Isagi is shocked every time Barou "steals his light". Come on, man, that's been his MO for a while now, you were teammates with the dude. That goal was outstanding, almost as good as Shidou's. And I love that he stripped his shirt off and got a yellow card for it, how very Barou of him. And the after credits was the best and most hilarious one yet, I need more maid cafe Barou in my life. |
Born to shoujo, forced to shounen. |
| Barou's goal was so underwhelming... After that Shidou goal, I got my hopes up but it wasn't remotely close. :( Oh well, Final 2 EPs next week then we can say goodbye to this disastrous production of a season. |
 |
| Yeah it's too early for Isagi to score probably in the last episode lol |
 |
| It's really fired up to see Barou think and play like that :) |
