| Not like anybody asked, but yeah, they did try to give a go-through of how the main character in the most main character way scored a goal. I mean knowing how it goes from here on, this ain’t the last freak goal Isagi has done… so spare these post match analysis sessions for later. Btw, nobody asked how much Reo loves Nagi as well, because I mean this one thing is already drilled within us through and through, through the first season and a movie of sort xD Hyping up the top 6 for the hundredth time aside, I guess at this point I’m so used to the moving frames approach that somehow this episode looked better than the first three lol. I mean it’s a matter of getting used to it in the end. Not having expectations actually does work better after all. Anyway, insults aside, good for Reo I guess, he managed to impress his love in the end;) |

| "Nicely done, number 6"? What's he even talking about? That was just confusing. And uh... Lifestyle of the rich and famous again - ok, I'm sure everyone knows by now, even if they haven't seen EpiNagi. Can you stop rehashing poor Reo's life circumstances please? I swear, everything that's done to this guy, everything that's supposed to evoke sympathy, is just making me hate him more and more. Which is sad, because he used to seem like a fun, likeable character. It's like he's just getting pummeled into the bad meme MCR emo teen of yesteryear. One of the longest episodes, and yet, not even the whole of it is spent on the game itself. When the first one was spread over two. But hey, at least we get instant flashbacks yet again... sigh. |

| Kind of a boring episode, but I like that we get to see Yukimiya's skills. So seems like Rin's going to play on the U-20 side. |

Nagi is ranked 6 out of the top 6
| @adbeaver Yeah, no, I remember that. But his jersey number is 7, at least here. |

Yea I get you, it's like he's doing it on purpose lol |

| There was actual animation U-20 can be saved 😭🙏 |
| What the fuck was that 2 minute analogy between coming up with a good play in football and competitive Tetris? I'm so baffled they decided to put that there and then continue it with "ah it's like when you go from 4G to 5G". I get what they mean but I can't say any of it with a straight face. I underestimated how dumb the show is. Anyways, a Reo centered episode based around how despite being good at everything he still decided to play as a striker, something where only by being a copycat he's still able to survive. Yukki sure is fast and Nagi really is a sloth. Rin can sometimes be funny despite being severely serious all the time. |

| We're moving. Forgot how sick Yukimiya is. I almost find Blue Lock more interesting when the focus isn't on Isagi. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| It seems like Reo was Isagi in this match and it was his time to shine this time around which he did with his new playstyle, Chameleon, a master of all trades copying the powerful moves of all other strong players which might be cheap imitations of the original but it does the job which matters the most. They lost but it was a good goal from Reo and also Nagi was impressed. Reo is still hungry tho. He will grow more in the future. Itoshi Sae is here and he wants someone from the Blue Lock as forwards. |

| I enjoyed last ep more. Cool to see Yukimiya in action. I've just never been able to care much about Reo tbh. That additional time had me creasing tho xD |

| I think they animated the running like 2 times. season saved :) |
| “Do what feels right in your heart. You will be criticized either way.” (Eleanor Roosevelt) |
| The animation ever-so-slightly improved compared to the previous two episodes. The Isagi-Hiori-Nanase trio is so wholesome, I hope to see more of them together. Happy to see Reo getting some character development and obtaining his own weapon...copying skills are always my favorite *cough*Kise*cough* Reo scoring a goal was probably my favorite moment in the entire third selection, but it somehow didn't feel nearly as hype watching it in the anime compared to reading it in the manga....but eh, I'm still enjoying the anime a decent amount. The visuals are still top-notch. The additional time is something I always look forward to seeing, the random conversations various BL characters have are always fun to see. Rin is always getting made fun of by the other characters lol. |
  "As promised, all that you seek, all that we desire, is prepared up there. On top of the Tower." |
| I guess I'm in the minority here because I'm enjoying this lol. The animation isn't anything stellar but atleast the match pacing and timing and coordination stuff is great and really makes for exciting matches. Hopefully the U-20 match redeems this season. |
 |
| reo the copying master has evolve |
| Very BL moments from Reo and Nagi. The Fujoshi are thanking them. Reo finally got the development he deserved after all the "cheating" he suffered from Nagi! Now, he's becoming the player who can mimic all kinds of techniques, taking his chameleon-like skills to new levels. It'll be interesting to see how far he can take this copying ability. As for Sae, she won't be playing for the Japan national team unless they include a Blue Lock striker. I doubt it'll be her brother, but I'm definitely curious to see who it will be. |
 |
| lol why is half this episode a rehash of episode nagi. I hope this Reo focus doesn’t last too long I’m not his fan |
BL is not just Blue Lock but Boys Love too  |
| I skim through this episode quickly cuz I know this season adaptation not worth my time. Yeah, the animation doesn't improve a single bit, still ppt voiced manga penal + ugly cgi scoring Looking at Bleach Thousand Year War s3 ep 4 , then look at Blue Lock s2 ep4 , both series title start with letter B, both super popular shoenen, both air at the same time/ day, heaven and hell difference in terms of adaptation. |

| Am I watching soccer or am I watching paint dry? The best animation so far is the OP, which itself is pathetic. The story is well enough on its own, but the amount of pedantic and redundant dialogue combined with still frames makes this so hard to watch. >talk talk talk >game starts >stop game for talk talk talk >sudden goal that's supposed to be genius but no one cares because of talk talk talk ruining the suspense plus no action JFC just F my S up famalam. I'm only hanging on in the hopes that another studio picks this up later. Imagine having a beautiful gem like a rare emerald only to run it through a trash compactor and use it as a paper weight. Even the OP and ED are just still frames. |

| Reo and Nagi peak yaoi, it's actually disgusting. Also, this dude with glasses, ain't no way lil bro thinks he's Davids lmao. |
CersilOct 26, 2:12 PM
| (i’ve seen what you did with that “ain’t the next game about to start” shot, fruity fruity) Annnnnd my favourite blue lock members of the alphabet mafia Reo and Nagi are back to the forefront this episode <3 “I’m not good enough to satisfy you anymore, Nagi. Look at you having fun. [...] You’re not mine anymore, are you?” NOOOOOOOO STOOOOP Ok they lost, oh well, at least Reo scored and kinda curbed his identity crisis. Also wait, who the fuck does Sae want to team up with?? Ok so i spoiled myself :) Also i liked the cocky but sly glasses guy |
scorpioniclibraOct 26, 1:08 PM
| He probably wants to get Isagi because he's not in good terms with his brother and make a beast out of him, but that's just a guess. |
| The Tetris part was probably the best animated moment of the episode lol. Damn we really only got to see like half of that match until it just jumped to the game being over with a score of 5-3. Well, with what we did get to see, I liked Yukimiya and what he was able to do. There was too much rehashing of Reo's backstory and his Nagi obsession for my liking, but I guess that's par for the course when he was essentially the Isagi of this match and we're seeing it all from his POV. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| Finally we have an episode where there are not so many slides in the animation Absolute cinema ✋😮🤚  |

| Loved Reo's chameleon style, was a bit nostalgic to me, since that was exactly Ryouta's ability from Kuroko no Basuke, but implemented on Soccer this time, which is really interesting. Hope i get to see more of that chameleon style. Also burst out laughing hardcore at the end scene with Sae insulting tf outta everythin' in Blue Lock, and how the chairman & the manager acted as well, i burst out laughing hard, istg. Such a funny & interesting episode. Excited 4 the upcoming episodes!! |
| Please... I'm begging you, i hope every episode from now features more and more cgi in the matches, it looks so much better than in season 1 and it for sure makes it more dynamic than whatever they are doing with the 2d animation if you can call it even that |
| one of my favorite characters from this arc; yukimiya is here and it's such a shame that i can't experience it with better visuals. he is still so sick though, might have to re-read this arc because fuck this adaptation is holding back it's full potential. shidou snapping at igaguri was jokes though and reo's got his chameleon game on. tbf this episode had a few parts that looked kinda decent. |
 |
| Why does Reo always have to make everything related to Nagi leaving his side feel so NTR-ish? |
| Damn, not me almost crying at how Reo was telling Nagi that he couldn't play the soccer he wanted and for Reo to leave him be until he can😥. Also, Nagi is definitely right about Rin being a toxic slime monster. The boy gets more edgy and mean every episode. |
