Baruo going on a 10 min inner monologue about how ur should change his ball hog mentality just to double down last second and fully commit to being king all on his own is the Funniest and goated moment that sold me on the manga
The manga is one of the few that legit manages to get me out of my seat and cheer. The hype factor when Isagi breaks through and makes a massive play or when someone like Nagi/Kaiser pulls out something unbelievable combined with the *incredible* art. Man, it's generational.
I agree, Blue Lock is one of my favorite sports anime/manga series outside of Haikyuu, but I still gotta read Slam Dunk and Real, also I gotta watch Kuroko no Basket and Ping Pong the Animation 💯.
The Mahoraga comp slayed me 🤣😭 But frfr that’s the perfect way to describe Isagi. Everyone that’s pissed he’s world class simply doesn’t understand what this story is trying to say. Isagi is my GOAT because not only does he adapt he does it within the capability of his given specs.
It might be too simple to say "Blue Lock turned my life around", life is too complicated to just say that, and for everytime I progress, there are times I regress, but one thing I can say for SURE that Blue Lock did for me, was make me hungry again In the duality of discipline and motivation, Blue Lock made me motivated to improve at my hobbies again, in a way I'd lost ever since the isolation from Covid quenched my ability to be competitive with my friends which was what drove me before, it dulled my mind and stunted my progress in a way that made me not want to start again to make the journey get back to where I was Reading Blue Lock broke me out of that, and I got you to thank for selling it so hard I had to see what was up, truly a special series,
I'm genuinely so happy to hear that man, truly glad to know that this series was capable of helping you like that, and that I was capable of capturing even a fraction of its importance
Isagi is legit the best protagonist in the NEW GEN of manga, he's one of the rare protagonist that actually won the Japan popularity poll of his own series more than once, the only other 2 protagonist that achieved such a feat are goku and luffy, so yeah isagi is no joke 😂
@@mongSTAARAsta is goated for winning almost every popularity poll before Noelle started cooking his streak, Ion even like him that much as an mc but I respect him for his win streak
The way u broke down motivation and inspiration has me realizing that motivation is an external “push” as u said and inspiration is more off an internal “pull”. Inspiration is so much more profound and long lastibg because it comes from yourself in a way.
Watching blue lock made me get into football only last year. I've grown at an insanely fast rate in skill and I'm still continuing to grow by absorbing knowledge however i can. Watching the anime (and later the manga) helped me develop playmaking skills and vision mainly. Very thankful that i discovered Bluelock when i did.
@@murkypotoo8123 I literally bought a soccer ball after watching and reading blue lock. I would so get into soccer but i feel its to late because im 17, and dont know a damn thing about soccer.
Blue Lock is simply phenomenal. As a musician blue lock spoke to me because they get it right. Ego showing what,when,how,who it's spot on!!telling someone is OK. Telling them you suck,you are wrong,here is why,and how can you fix it. Is awesome Once I realized my talent for picking up instruments. I spent day in and day out ro my study of guitar,bass,,drums for yrs. I always hear many say "I can't play like that.." I don't get those people. I've always said "I can't wait till I can" Drums for instance, i blew threw songs and wouls play it wrong untill I got it right. Played albums on guitar. Nothing was gonna stop me becoming the GOAT. It's not for everyone. Many can't do or many don't have that will in em to becoming no.1 you need that compitention you need to say fuck em..I'll be great
Blue Lock is super enjoyable. While not my favorite sports series (that still goes to Slam Dunk) it’s absolutely hype, excels in art, the characters are interesting and engaging in their own right, and there’s a real sense of dread and anticipation as to what comes next. It’s even made me leap out my seat at times. Anyone looking to get into Blue Lock, all imma tell you is: it’s a wild fun ride 🔥
Blue lock really surprised me as someone who never watched a sports anime until now they set the bar pretty high now I’m tapping into more sports anime
blue lock somehome changed me from a coward to an aggressive typa of person (when i need to) , the first show to tell me it's okay to be selfish, to value myself, help me get a better mindset, help me be more decisive, help me gain confidence and double down on my dreams . life changing anime (literally), the message it brings is invaluable
Blue Lock's ideologies helped me out through very tough times through 2023. Isagi and Barou's mentalities especially. And i'm very thankful that it led me to a great improvement when it comes to my body, mind, as well as a person in general. Favorite sports manga OAT
I was a boxer, my dream was always to be a World Champion, but then I stopped to study in college as my parents intended. When I read Blue Lock, the scene when Barou overcame himself in the second selection made me feel disgusted of myself, it was all escapism I was doing but I wasn't fully convinced to go back and then the scene where Bachira's mom said "As people grow older, they CHOOSE to not listen to the monster (their dream)". I thought about that for about a week, then I decided to come back, my dream was never this visible before, I believe I can now.
Love the blue lock vids. Blue lock my second favourite manga currently, but I felt like its mentality is more suited for individual sports. As a junior boxer, I really resonated with the manga cuz some form of team sense is still required for sports like soccer while individual sports require pure ego
I'm glad you like the Blue Lock videos! And its great to know that Blue Lock is not only a favorite of yours, but a series that personally has some relatability
Ive rewatched this video 4 times now and ive come to the conclusion that not only is blue lock my favorite manga reading experience, but this is probably imo the best anime/manga video ive watched. Everytiing about this rlly clicks with me.
Blue Lock both fills me with hype that I can translate into motivation in my endeavours, and makes me see the sport of football completely differently. Both my brother and I have experienced reading the manga, and then instantly spending hours in flow on our respective creative endeavours. It's like crack I tell you. And reading it made me want to watch football again after I drifted away from it in my teens. Definitely one of my favourite manga of all time and im happy we're not the only ones who have this relationship with it.
Your structure and editing on videos are so insanely well made that you could talk about something i hated and make it interesting keep up the insane work man.
I'm happy you're going to start Blue Lock videos. When I first found your content I read/watched Blue Lock and you told me about things in the Manga of JJK. I'm about to start the Manga of JJK and you're about to start Blue Lock 🔥🔥🔥🔥
100% I'm starting with more general Blue Lock videos to hopefully introduce more of my audience to the series, but character analysis videos for every major character in the series is definitely in the plan
Such a good video you pretty explained how it changed my life. My job isnt as hard university in public health but what blue lock taught me about getting into the flow state. Is pretty only reason i made it through first semester and its the reason why i keep improving is every time i watch this show i feel the need to be a better then i was yesterday.
I'm so happy to hear that man, I love knowing that a series so close to me has had a similar impact on others. I'm happy this video was also able to convey that feeling well.
I was a cross country runner in high school but after graduating with falling outs with friends and university making me busy, running despite loving it I lacked the time and motivation to do it even when I did id give up out of bordom because of not being able to run as fast or as long but egos speach on flow did help it caused me to look back and evaluate every time iv been in flow in the past and inspired me to apply it to running adding little challanges to increase the difficulty to avoid bordom and I also apply this to chess or school to keep me going and wanting to improve
Blue Lock has a simple premise to understand and knows how to perfectly exaggerate situations and character actions / motivations; making for a thrilling and fun experience.
man youre so right. honestly since this match agaisnt pxg started i been trying a little bit harder in life so when Isagi finally beats Rin, i can be at place i am personally proud of. truly inspirational
It was 2 am. I was reading blue lock bastard münchen vs man shine city. Isagi has finally unlocked his golden formula to score and beat Kaiser with a 100% guarantee. Kurona passed to isagi and he was about to score. The hype i felt in that moment, to say the least, I was on some Shidou timing thinking I was gonna nut over a goal. Then the fraud of blue lock passed to yuki. I wanted to quit reading then, but about a month later isagoat scored a LEFTY direct shot as my glorious king. (Behind Shidou ofc)
awesome video bro, love ur explanation. there are some great quotes/moments to the show as well like Isagi adapting to Barou, Kunigami telling Reo to put head up, Chigiri crying after being subbed off
I stopped reading manga for almost 3 years. Used to read a lot of manga and webtoon, and that tired me out, I guess. Then Blue Lock anime came. I was getting impatient around the 20th episode, suddenly had the urge to read, and I did. It took me back to the wonderful world of comics once again. Thank you, Blue Lock!
It would of been a damn masterpiece, in my opinion, to the ending statement from being; "..To some, that may seem daunting, but in all honesty there's nothing more encouraging to me than that." to instead switch out "Encouraging" with "Inspiring", not only with how I believe you explained the word in this video to represent, but also tying in the entire video into a perfect ribbon, by perfectly summing up the plot of the video being Inspiration and how Blue lock holds that, in a really nice bow on top. Sort of melding the Introduction and Conclusion perfectly intandem. Still, I understand the ending statement perfectly to mean pretty much the exact same thing, incredible video. 10/10
watching blue lock for the first time last year reminded me of how fucking fun soccer was when i was younger it reminded me of how bad i wanted to become player for my highschool team and go on to become a pro soccer player thag would play in the world cup. maybe in another life 😌
Blue Lock is one of those stories that aims to argue a viewpoint that goes against the norm, not to say its better than the norm, but to remind people about the aspects of life that goes unaddressed most of the time. Selfish Desire for Victory is generally looked down upon, but honestly, its very important for everyone to have a healthy amount of, otherwise, you will just be ambitionless.
Stopping at 6:16 until i finish the series, im 170 chpts in and its been 5 days and ive had 4 10 hour shifts tho so i should be back like tmrw or the next day lmao
Aye no worries man, (honestly if you're that far nothing I say will spoil you) but do your thing! I'm glad you seem to be running through Blue Lock like crazy
Seeing the other manga that the author made, you would never guess that they'd make blue lock but their artstyle and experience makes every crazy moment feel nostalgic like how you used to feel watching Pokemon or Beyblade or YuGioh(or of course Inuzama Eleven) as a kid
Slam Dunk, Haikyuu!!!, Blue Lock, KazeTsuyo, Re:Main, and many other sports animanga I love made me want to play those respective sports. Unfortunately, I was weak growing up and had little endurance and stamina because of anemia. I have all these crazy imaginations in my head about me playing and giving my all in a sport that I'd love to play competitively. The sports genre is special and Blue Lock is one of its best titles.
did you know that right after you wake up your actually in flow so if you start doing a task like homework for example you could be in flow state doing your peak performance.
At first when watching blue lock I really want to change and I thought I did. But after watch this video I realize that I barely changed the bit so thx you help me realize that
Blue lock is the reason that my team 3-0 the best kids in our class in football I literally felt like isagi when he defeated nico's team in the first selection
My favorite thing about this series is the seeming number of people that misunderstand what it is about and say that’s not how football works. Ignoring all the times it is clear the author knows exactly what football is, it is not a series about teaching people football and every aspect about it, ot is a series about teaching people about drive and motivation,
bro help me understand this blue lock thing is a Japanese project to create a Japanese team/striker. just like real life, in the show it is established that Japanese are not that good and even if a good striker is produced he loses his shyt when he try to play in big league (rins brother is a exception I guess, though even he quite becoming a striker and became midfielder) so, my question is, why do the best league team in the world want these blue lock kids (Japanese kids) bro? and top of that these blue lock kids gets to choose which ever world's best league team they want? these big teams left their shyt and came to japan to play in blue lock and get the kids who are interested to join them? bruh
