WHO WILL GET THE FINAL SPOT! | BLUE LOCK 

#BringbackemoKiyora

@@goratuti1098 RIP edgelord Kiyora, you will be missed

If they need a third gk just imagine iemon comes back

Thanks!

Buddha luck always comes in clutch!

Nishioka will be 10 place like Messis always nummer😂

Yeh, I'm thinking that too. Seeing as how he didn't really contribute to Shidou's goal I'm hoping he does more once Loki subs in.

messi?

I hope Hiiragi will make it too. He is so sick in the nagi spin off!! And the joke with messi guy must go on aswell. Zantetsu shouldnt make it. He is cool but we allready have a fast character, so a new weapon would be great too. Tokimitsu is a tank i like him. For me jyubei shouldnt make it also...

@@TheReptain hiragi > nagi

@@TheReptain aryu is ight i guess

Would be cool especially since the author of the spinoff manga said we would see him in the main story but I doubt it will happen. Having an offscreen performance from a character make the final roster is a bit questionable

@@akiraendoji Yeah i can see that, but to counter this, we've only seen Bachira's performance in One Game, Being this the first One, so the manga Could go Out of the formula and extend What They show us about the Barcha vs Manchine match, instead of usual last Goal.

Mark my words. On reddit i predicted thag Nanase and Hiiragi are broken when the chapter cameout where the 35 came trought the doors. Hiiragi, Nanase and Nishioka will make the cut. Zantetsu, Tokimitsu and Sendo wont make it

Yeh, I think Toki is just gonna shine later in the match. Like he is a stamina beast, surely he will do more when others get a bit more tired. So far he has been pretty disappointing but judging by Aryu's relevance in the previous game I wouldn't be shocked if he gets sidelined too.

Thanks!

Yep, such a waste of a character and I expected more from him. He joined the only team in the NEL with 4 reliable CB's; how is he meant to compete. Like if he was on BM or any other team he would've started in at least 1 game

​@@akiraendojithat's the thing tho, he should've been prioritized since he's the tallest. If it were up to me, I would use Ishikari before using Aryu(as a main example since both are tall but Ishikari is taller)

@@DopeyTidepod Personally I would've replaced Kurona/Kiyora with Ishikari. Just have Neru take their spot and then have Ishikari + Igaguri as the BM CB's especially since they played together in the 3rd selection.

​@akiraendoji good idea, but since Kurona is my favorite bl character, I can't replace him

Ty ty!

Thanks!

I don't see Nagi getting a second cover before someone like Isagi does especially since that match will likely be off screened too.

For sure, he's been hyped way too long to do nothing. Guessing it will be the next chapter or 2, after we see his skillset more in episode Nagi which comes out later this week

@@akiraendoji fact bro I can wait for my boy Kiyora to show people what he can do I the soccer field

Nah igaguri is going to foul out loki and get 30 mill

@@huejanus1333 now you lost your mind

ty ty!

Yeh, it's a possibility that it's Fukaku instead of Sae for a 26 man roster. Them all getting 28 million could make it work

Yeh, I delayed this video for a week because I thought he would at least touch the ball from his hype lmao. Oh well, he's at least built up to do something more impactful soon

@akiraendoji idk why but I really hate him having a sad backstory not everyone needs a sob story yk but I love his sword shirt tho

@@FofoTsukuyomi It wasn't really a sad backstory, it was just context to his thought process and mentality

@@uso2926 ik but it felt like they were tryna make us feel sad for him

sae is playing for japan no?

Honestly even with an assist 28mil isn't easy. We know goals are 30-50 and assists are a bit less than that and so if Kiyora gets the final spot i.e. exceeds the boundary line he will barely beat it with approx 30mil. If he gets the 24th and someone steps down like Shidou, it would be so funny and his buddha luck kicks in once again.

@@akiraendoji agreed, i don’t think there’s any way for kiyora to make it that won’t feel at least a little contrived. barou presumably got 2 goals vs manshine and his bid only went up 20 mill iirc, fukaku is a bum compared to gagamaru but he got a 28 mill salary in pretty much one game. i think the level of play will be taken into account for this round of bids so they’ll be inflated compared to before, it’s been stated that this is the highest level match that any of the blue lockers have been a part of so far so an impressive showing here could be worth more to the pro clubs?

concidering what you mentioned - I have feeling that Igaguri will force foul in dangerous zone, that his team will put to good use (that makes goal contribution). Later in game he will make tactic foul on either Shidou, Rin or Loki, where he will receive yellow card but will stop what would make 3-2 goal for PXG thus getting high salary.

Ofc, thumbnails carry the channel hard lmao

The sad thing is the Neru would've been fodder on Manshine too like Niou. The only benefit would be that he would likely play an actual game.

It's meant to be a 3 goalkeeper rule officially, but even if it's a 2 goal keeper limit my issue is that Fukaku is just pure fodder. Like if he was intended to make the roster you'd expect more promo art from him, volume cover, or even any on screen achievement. Like why not have Fukaku save Hiori's shot instead of Sendou. Even though he is the 2nd goal keeper you'd think he'd have more push to make it. You also have to consider that of the 23 players the only 2 below him still debatable to survive is Toki and Zantetsu as Hiori and Raichi will make it. Kiyora is hinted to make the roster so that would mean only 1 of Nanase, Zantetsu or Toki make it. Which is why I think his character is used more as a narrative tool.

@@akiraendoji Oh yeah that makes sense

Definitely a possibility, could be a 3 or 4 way tie for the 26 man roster, and instead of Sae it's Fukaku just so they have a backup

You have been noticed, Clip studio

Yeh, it's not impossible; I just don't think they would give volume covers to Noa and Loki if the other 3 master strikers didn't get them and I'm expecting them to get volume covers later when the world cup comes later. It could be Charles, Loki, Noa but I just don't see Zantetsu not making it without any build up for his elimination.

Yeh, same. I'm thinking that Nanase will overtake Fukaku with a 29mil offer and be happy that he thinks he made it only for Kiyora to overtake both Fukaku's and Nanase's offers with 30mil. That leaving Nanase with rank 24 once again where just like he said in the match, if Rin doesn't become the hero of the game their ranks won't improve. Which i'm guessing Toki will keep his rank 20 spot too then.

Chigiri getting injured again means he'd be locked off and I don't think the author will get rid of his character

Well I doubt Chigiri will be forced to retire in the U20 world cup (the actual world cup there's an actual chance though). There's always a case someone like Shidou doesn't play or something happens to a player. Like maybe Gagamaru gets injured and Fukaku gets pulled up from the preliminary squad.

Yep, unlike the previous eliminations if someone like Nanase or Igaguri get eliminated they still will go pro which is a better fate than someone like Naruhaya. Like they could improve and by the time the actual world cup comes which will have 26 players they can join it.

Yeh, at least for now. Would be cool to see him but there doesn't seem to be any indication of him playing in the U20 world cup; feels like Ego or the author wouldve mentioned him by now.

@@akiraendoji yeah, but I hope atleast we will see more of him in the future atleast 😀

That's fair, I just don't see Fukaku making it. Of the 23 he just seems to be the one that will miss out, and I think Igaguri has a higher chance than him. But tbh neither will make it unless the top 26 happens

Inflation is a possibility, but we haven't really seen it in previous rounds. Like Kiyora will likely survive with 30mil with a bit of inflation since BM win but it shouldn't impact the salaries too much.

You and me both, just hoping that after BM score the next goal Loki gets inspired and subs him in to replace a PXG CB seeing as they are useless. If he doesn't even sub into the game i'm going to be so disappointed.

Yeh, I'm hoping it is simply because I love Nanase and don't want him to get eliminated. It would also be funny if Igaguri lucks his way onto the roster once again.

As always!

Lol you're right

Yep, that seems like the most likely option which I don't mind. Would love to see him make the u20 world cup but I think him not making it is fine. (Hoping he makes the actual world cup though)

Yeah I like his character

Yeh, Kiyora will likely make the top 23. Judging by the spoilers for next chapter it seems like he will assist either Isagi and Kaiser and since his character always survives the boundary line; it seems like he is set up to once again survive with the final spot.

Honestly I'm not sure, I can't read Japanese so can't check the official meaning but in the english version at least it just mentions the 23 highest bids at least in the 3rd and 4th round offers. So if there is a tie for the final spot maybe the roster expands like I think can happen or maybe Ego has other plans for what happens.

I rate Zantetsu high simply because he likely will survive. He has a decent salary already and already is in the top 23. So he has an advantage over Nanase and Kiyora with a higher bid so they must overcome his salary. So Kiyora needs to exceed Zantetsus current bid + PXG match which hasn't finished yet, same as Nanase. Like it's not impossible just I don't see both Kiyora and Nanase making it over him. And most of all, Zantetsu has not been built up to get eliminated. If you have 25 talking characters where 2 get eliminated the author would hint or do something more with it. Of those 25, iGaguri is shown to be fine with any salary buy for the 24th person they probably won't be. Nanase has been hinted to get eliminated, etc. And so from a narrative reason there would be more emphasis in his potential elimination when there's no build up.

Also forgot to mention, although he isn't performing the best from an outside perspective he is still doing exactly what Loki asked and that is sprint and pressure more. As for his skills, acceleration is still useful, we've seen Ness feel his pressure in the match and honestly he will be more useful than Nanase. Nanase isn't really needed in the roster because there's someone in blue lock who can do his job better but Zantetsu's acceleration isn't as replaceable. It's also weird to talk about Kiyoras skillset when we haven't even seen him kick a ball in the main story yet.

Yeh, unfortunately he's just a gag character. At least with episode Nagi we will see him play on Manshine.

It's not confirmed, there's just been 0 implication that he will play. We've been hinted to the top 23 for ages that if Sae does play it would feel weird the author wouldn't mention it yet. Like why show the characters upset if they get 24th and not 23rd. Like imagine Kiyora or Nanase gets the 23rd spot and then Sae decides to play and steal their spot anyway. Would just be weird narrative wise, unless he becomes the 24th person.

@@akiraendoji Yeah but maybe theres a 24th spot reserved for Sae? Especially with the likes of Shidou and Isagi whom Sae acknowledged, he "should" feel motivated to play (at least I hope so :D). I feel like it would make sense too, especially with the immense competition in the WC including the demons Kaiser and Loki, and the Japan team would be almost indestructible with Sae orchestrating the midfield...

Yeh, his white is unconventional especially when characters ego's usually are the same as their eye colour so you'd expect violet. I think it's more to do with his a blank canvas and starting to find his new defined ego which is why there's a bit of green in it

White Is his aura color. Aura colors can also not be their eye or hair color just like Nagi and Isagi

@@Greenjolty I mean Isagi is the special case of being the mc, Sae is the special case of matching Rin since they’re related and Nagi’s aura is Black its just also blue sometimes cause black is difficult to detail sometimes

@@Greenjolty Yeh, there's some special cases like those 2 but in general the side characters like Hiori, Kurona, Yuki, etc. all match between their aura and eye colours. Nanase's being white is weird so I'm curious what the anime will show since we know he enters flow in the 3rd selection match

@@akiraendoji I think the aura color is reflected to his name. Nanase has nana in it which means seven and nijiro if you don't look at the kanji means rainbow color. Since he isn't important enough to have a rainbow colored aura, white is a solid choice since it's the reflection of all colors

Well Raichi is playing great so far so he should be locked in. Zantetsu's a bit harder to guess but I still think it's more likely than not that he will survive. I'm confused by the promo art stuff because Zantetsu has has quite a lot of promo with stuff like the episode Nagi movie, being on one of the volume covers and all the colour spreads. Even in the latest episode nagi chapter he has a decent amount of screen time.

@@akiraendoji oh no, I meant promo for the Episode Nagi Movie mb 😅 at least I haven't seen anything

That was my previous predictions simply because I thought there's a chance (although slim) that Shidou willingly doesn't play for the U20 world cup. But having a 99% and 100% is extremely similar and both should make the team.

Remember this is U20 WC, not NEL, the number of subs you can have is just 5 chances. Supposed you wanna have a Loki system where all players got their time, it still wouldn't be enough

I mean I already put Sae in unlikely to play in the U20 world cup, and I don't think he will either.

Well I say that in the previous and latest video that his chance of joining is unlikely. Sae will likely play in the actual world cup but the U20 is very unlikely. There's been no build up to him joining but if the author wants to change last second if he wants to play he could.

I mean it's weird to complain that Zantetsu's done nothing when Kiyora hasn't even touched the ball. I know Kiyora will assist one of Isagi or Kaiser but Zantetsu still can contribute more this match.

Honestly, if the NEL worked straight off logic alone, that could be true. However, I have a theory that it’s more abt hype, so the fact that he gave a perfect pass to Kaiser’s magnus shot will comfortable put him at at least 23 mil
