in light of Kaiser's backstory (which i have a lot of thoughts about that will follow), i really dont feel the need for a Shidou crazy backstory. some people's brains are just wired differently. maybe he was just born as the harbringer of chaos. his hedonistic destiny.

and i 100% support it.

#we need some more weirdos in blue locks #ppl who are just insane for the fun of it and not bc of a dark past #so far its just isagi and barou 😭 #oddballs #im fine w a tragic shidou backstory but i really don't need it #especially after this heavy ass arc

saw this on twitter which made my heart sink

The kaiser one isn't even applicable anymore but pretend we're back in BM vs Barcha 🤣🙏

#I do think he considers them friends #maybe kaneshiro means “close” as in he never really had an emotional heart-to-heart with the others?? idk #bc he and reo talked abt their parents and had the whole “being with you is fun” and wtv #he and zantetsu had the bath scene #but the closest i can think of for the others is isagi and him duking it out and admitting they're weak after losing bachira #they all get along and enjoy each others company but ig he doesn't consider that particularly close 😭 #idk maybe kaneshiro's making that up bc i do love his other friendships :<

I've recently learned that the line "without soccer, he and I could never be together" is actually still Reo’s monologue so the parallel doesn't quite match anymore

(it's not gonna stop me from being delusional)

But the fact that Reo was still thinking of the World Cup when saying they'd have nothing to do with each other, meanwhile Nagi asks Reo not to die before him and treasures the similarity they share... still tells me that Nagi takes their relationship a little more seriously than pre-2nd selection Reo

He says that they're similar because Reo "doesn't know how to measure his distance from others" which tells me Nagi is very aware that he's letting Reo way too close for a guy he supposedly has nothing in common with... he just... likes Reo. As a person. Do with that what you will

What is wrong with them 💀

Nagi "without soccer, we can't be together" Seishirou vs. Mikage "without soccer, we'd have nothing to do with each other" Reo

The cognitive switch the fandom has had to make from "their relationship is one-sided, Reo does everything!" to "their relationship is one-sided, Nagi is sickeningly in love with Reo" is crazy to see -- NAGI STAND UP

(I don't necessarily think that way but I can tell that's where this is headed for ppl 😭)

More from the oneshot:

The implication that Nagi would suffer if he had to live the remainder of his life without Reo... "don't die before me"... i.e. 'do what you want but stay here'... he thought saying it would make Reo happy...

The fact that Nagi thinks they're similar -- much more similar than Reo seems to think they are -- makes their parting all the more bittersweet. It touches on the loner/outcast side of Nagi, to latch onto the first person to really connect with him and I like seeing that major part of his life actually explored in the oneshot. Like him living sparsely, alone, with no support system, is not just a goofy bit, it really does affect the way you perceive the world and your relationships.

I already liked and understood Nagi, but seeing it expanded on in the manga just made me love his character even more,, can we see them succeed and be happy in the main manga now,,, please,,

#an update on the recent oneshot #blue lock #episode nagi #nagi seishiro #nagi seishirou #mikage reo #nagireo #my ass jumped to conclusions almost as hard as Nagi and Reo do 💀💀 sorry for the misinformation

#I'm so ill #nagi just like me fr #i had more screenshots but alas I hit the image limit #Nagi basically said “let's not do the stuff we didn't like when our parents did it to us”- they're gonna treat each other right 😞 #[LOUDLY INCORRECT BUZZER] #blue lock #bllk #nagi seishirou #nagireo #mikage reo #episode nagi #from the new oneshot

Is anyone else a little bit surprised that Charles actually is blonde ? Or was it just me 💀 I was bracing myself for him to have green hair or smth

Regardless, he looks adorable

#blue lock #and Loki looks cool af but what else is new #so far this team is no Ubers in getting me to care about them or the dynamic #but I do appreciate the sibling slash almost-father-son bond these two have... it's rlly endearing #also him DISRESPECTING RIN LIKE THAT WAS CRAZY #he's like sae without all the emo parts #bllk #charles chevalier #julian loki #pxg #paris x gen

For some reason, I thought choki would be bigger 💀

I mean look at this tiny lil fella

Nagi's VA's take on Nagi's opinion on/relationship with Reo 🥺 it's very sweet, and well-said imo. the interviews with the VAs always make me so happy -- Nobunaga especially seems to understand and love his own character <3

#now if only ppl would stop claiming Nagi doesn't care about Reo or vice versa #the movie is trying to make yall understand!!! #blue lock #bllk #nagi seishirou #nagireo #mikage reo #episode nagi

[n-fblog]

Nagi about Reo vs. Reo about Nagi 😭😭

the difference is astounding... save Nagi bro his bsf doesn't even think he's capable of love im CRYINNNGGJF

#also Reo's take on his eyebrows is..... sure sweetie 💀 #i mean i find them endearing but thats cuz i learned to love them #the fact he thinks thats his BEST feature 😭😭 at least he didn't say bangs #Nagi's answer about living with Reo surprising NO ONE yet again #blue lock #bllk #nagi seishirou #nagireo #mikage reo #episode nagi #epinagi #ep nagi

THIS IS CRAZY WORK

WHY IS HE IN FULL-ON PROPOSAL POSE 😭 I CANT W THESE TWO

bonus of reo being cool (?) and nagi looking at him the same as usual (lovingly)

#i am about to be very annoying #watch my descent into madness as i spam images/promo material as they come out #this is from one of the manga extras accompanying the movie btw! #episode nagi: harajuku #epinagi #ep nagi #mikage reo #nagi seishirou #nagireo #reonagi #blue lock

Reo in the turtleneck, Baya with the camera i thought was a bazooka >>>

And Zantetsu..... doing whatever he's doing 😭

I'm LOVING all the new nagi/reo crumbs that's been coming out. nature is healing

blue lock wouldn't exist if ego jinpachi weren't a misogynist. and I stand by that

#because ego's got the mentality of a loser 😭 #“nothing should bring you pleasure except your own goals” and his own protege isagi doesn't even follow that ideal #isagi is always acknowledging other ppls goals and feeling pride in his accomplishments even when they don't directly lead to goals #blue lock is a lot more interesting once you recognize that ego is wrong and the narrative doesn't exactly support him #in conclusion bros a weirdo and a guyfailure

[n-fblog]

nothing new here, but it's funny how quickly epinagi goes from strong shoujo coding to typical shounen themes when Reo isn't around to be the heart of the story and bring out the more emotional beats of the plot. So the introspection gives way to much more action-focused scenes, friendship and interpersonal drama turns into typical "believe in yourself when no one else does" shounen power-upping, and the more emotional, idealistic dreaming together switches to competitive fighting against foes with edgy quips thrown around. Alas, this is still blue lock tho, so there's still no power of friendship to save the day. Only hard work! which a slacker like Nagi still adheres to halfway 😂

it's also very telling that Nagi only embraces his so-called "protagonism" only now that he's truly alone :') too bad for his development that the lesson doesn't stick for long, but epinagi's slice of life + spokon peculiar merging always blurred the lines between genres for this manga to ever really fit into either category 100% imho. Which is what draws me to this series more than the og one, tbh

#i know its episode nagi but I need at least one chapter where we see more of reo with kunigami #i want to see him teaming w shidou #WHAT WAS THEIR DYNAMIC I NEED TO KNOW #it's also kinda funny that he adopts this mindset and yet in Manshine he goes right back to thinking “man is this what isagi and reo do?!? #they live in his head rent free

Finally got the chapter!!!!!!!

I did not expect to love Barou and Chigiri as a duo as much as I do but like, holy shit they’re incredible

Chigiri is such a little shit here and I love that for him

It’s the little brother energy, I swear

This shot is so cool!!!!!!!

I love that we get to see their auras projected at the same time, since both of them are big cats

It’s just such a cool image

Finally, NAGI OMG

YES BELIEVE IN YOURSELF

I’m so proud of him, I knew he could do it

Plus, I absolutely ADORE that his aura is skulls!!!!!

I think about Greek mythology with it, and relate it to Thanatos, the god of death, son of the goddess of night and twin brother of the god of sleep

This chapter was so hype and I just needed to rave about it

#!!! the main manga doesnt let chigiri be a little shit nearly enough #he and barou are so goofy i wish we saw more of them in the Manshine v Ubers match #the “meow” from ch. 245 was all we had #bllk #blue lock #episode nagi #episode Nagi spoilers #chigiri hyoma #barou shouei
