| Barou's an absolute beast But unfortunately, Rin is just even more of a beast |

| Isagi and Rin's scene in the anime was quite dull compared to the manga, but it wasn't bad tbh. Still a great episode, only wished it was smoother. Can't complain about Barou, the goat as usual. |

TheMangaManiac said: Hatsuyuki said: I've watched Kuroko years ago. I wonder if I didn't care back then or didn't notice cheap quality there? Because to me Kuroko was incredible hype show, I really can't remember any crappy CGI models or slide show.It's a shame how poorly handled this anime is. This is why i'm always reluctant when I'm watching sports anime, you just can't have a fun sports anime without good animation, because sports inherently imply movement. The anime had so much potential to just be crazy campy fun like Kuroko if it had the same production value. At this point every episode is just a slideshow with narrated and worse looking manga panels, and it's depressing. I meant to say that Kuroko looked very good, and Blue Lock would've been just as fun as Kuroko if it was close to it in terms of production. Sadly Blue Lock's production is a mess |

| King Barou waiting in for the hunt. That was a greeting from hell. |
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |
| I've faith in Bachira. I think he's gonna apeshit in the next episode when he finally listens to his monster. Right now, Isagi and Rin are controlling the field. |
 |
| Yeah sure was intense with Rin's play while I like Bachira's questions about his place in the match and his goals |
 |
| I really love how Isagi was willing to get devoured by Barou in order to score. It is becoming more clear that there is a big difference in the skillsets of isagi and Bachira. |
  |
| Did Rin really use the word NPC?? He is such a big edge-lord lmao. Can't wait for him to lose. Gonna happen someday. Also lol Isagi will probably hype up Rin even if he just walks around the pitch. |
 |
| Another great episode and I also think that Bachira will evolve next but my concern is that if he evolves that may mean that his team wins since they are already up 4-3. On that note, I don't believe that Isagi has scored so he's also due for a goal. I'm thinking Isagi will score next to make it 4-4 and then who knows what happens next? It will probably involve Bachira though but regardless of what happens I'm looking forward to the next episode. |
| Everybody is an NPC in Rin’s view. |
 |
| Are we about to witness the evolution of Bachira? |

| i swear that freaking Ego guy is never impressed lol when teaming up with Nagi, Isagi can beat Rin... next step... being able to beat him alone starting the second half, Rin with a spin pass that tricked Barou, before positioning to get the ball back and instantly throw it to the glam guy... who had no choice but to give it back to Rin Nagi went to try and black his shoot, while remembering the fake from earlier... but Rin passed by him and instantly passed to Bachira who scored a goal, with Isagi still looking for the ball LOL Rin really is controlling the game, knowing all 7 of the other players skills and how to make them move to achieve his goal "what made you think a mere NPC like you could read me?" lols rekt Bachira wanted an high5 but he got called NPC#2 instead hahaha this Rin guy talks like Barou but has 100x better skills Barou's face, we know he is gonna go for a kill soon Isagi started but seeing Rin come for him, he passed it to Chigiri, who went to the inside, passing through his opponent... Rin came for him, which made him pass it to Nagi on the opposite side while all eyes were on Nagi, Isagi went for the blind spot and got in a good spot to shoot... but ofc, Rin is 10x faster than him and blocked his course finally, after waiting for his chance, Barou came in like a lion, stealing the ball from his own teammate, confusing everyone, including Rin and scoring the goal "why don't you try to control me, mr absurdly long bottom lashes" lmao Barou looking good now with all that dark electricity around him, he is excited while Isagi is trying to make plans to use Barou's strange style, Rin already took note of it, won't happen a second time the new plan from Isagi is to have Chigiri press whoever has the ball, while the other 3 cut possible passes ... lol he just appears near the opponent so fast that they have no time to react Bachira somehow passed through Chigiri, and even managed to go through Isagi, but Barou came to steal the ball ... Rin managed to react and stop him just in time, but he couldn't predict it before it happened Bachira is excited to finally have strong players who can keep up with him unlike the ones before blue lock... but atm, he is no match for the 2 genius ... so is it time for a power-up? while everyone is starting to get tired, the gloomy guy just has infinite stamina, so rin is using him to quickly advance to the goal before the others can catch up to them Chigiri and Barou crashed into him so they both got yellow cards lmfao Barou excuse "i was just hugging the guy" as if that's not a fault :D meanwhile Chigiri called her a useless VAR with this free kick, Isagi was worried about jumping and losing his timing to go press BAchira if Rin decided to pass... but Rin knew about his indecision and threw the ball just over Isagi's head, knowing he wouldn't jump ... what the f lmao there was never 2 choices, Rin scoring is the only choice, he wants t be the best striker after all and with that. Rin team is winning 4-3 ... one more goal and they win Bachira continues with his monologue, i'd say (again) his power up is coming... but now that the game is 4-3, he can't really show off or Isagi will lose... does the author want Isagi to go down again? this time possibly losing his favorite teammate Nagi? aditional time, with long bangs guy teaming up with baka glasses guy, who will be the 3rd one? (i don't care tbh...) |
favorite "new girls" from summer <3 ... click sig for older seasons and more possible picks (rip all the other choices) |

lol i haven't been paying attention to football recently, but wasn't Bruno one of the best players in United a couple years ago? has he been doing that badly? |

Just check the score from yesterday... I've never been so embarrassed.. And what he did during the game.. fans have turned against him |

| BRUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH THIS FUCKING CGI AND THIS FUCKING ANIMAION + THE AUROS ARE LIKE WHOLE DIFFERENT SHIT (about to cry fr) |
 |
| Oh an NPC calling the MC an NPC is tight. Probably psychological warfare in this case, knowing Rin. I genuinely can't remember the last time Blue Lock had a throw-in. Loved Barou being Barou. Either this or Jojo are going to end up making me gay. |
 |
| Is Anri just there for Ego to make fun of? Poor girl. Not as hype as the previous episode but still entertaining nonetheless. Barou "outsmarting" Rin because he's irrational like that was cool. |
| Is the birthday wine or is Rin sexy af? If I were a teenaged animated girl....! |
Vampiir said: As a manga reader I was sad to see that Bachira's realization was not as impactfull in the anime as it was in the manga. He's my favorite character and his questioning throughout this match is really important for his development. Also they're adapting a lot of chapters per episode, I'm starting to question where exactly the anime is gonna end, unless they make an episode dedicated to Reo and Kinigami's match I don't see how they're gonna drag Isagi's match for the next 4 episodes. There are only 3 episodes left. If they continue to cover 5 chapters an episode like they are doing, they can finish the season at chapter 94, which is a very appropriate ending to the season. |

| For the love of God PLEASE give me some actual animation beyond simply a "passable" level of quality besides some goal shots, I'm getting sick of this. At this point, it feels like the VFX team are putting more effort into this than the actual animators. I don't like to be someone who criticizes the animation of an anime most of the time, I care more about the story honestly, but this is getting absolutely ridiculous. Give me at least one thing to remember from the past few episodes and say to myself "Yeah, that was hype as fuck". |

| While Isagi's team has Barou to break through Rin's team, the latter has both Tokimitsu and Rin with their above average stamina to completely destroy teams late-game I don't think Barou can compete against Tokimitsu in the stamina department so seeing how Isagi will counter this will be hype |
| God damn Anri-chan 😍 even though she only have little screen time, it's always appreciated. This episode was so intense, it flew by feels like 5 min. Now could Bachira surprised us more? |
 |
| Another Intense EP! the reason why Rin is rank 1 is because he has the ability to quickly adapt and use that to counter any kind of plan the opponent does but of course the unexpected part by Barou is a given haha alolz looks like this match might end next ep or maybe cliffhanger for the winning point lelz hype! 5/5. |
 |
| good battle. Can't wait to see if Isagi's team has a chance of winning this |
