No stakes in Haikyuu

Haikyuu feels like there is nothing really to lose, it feels like there are no stakes and they never suffer any consequences.

They first baited us with the, this is the seniors last time, then they lost to Aoba Johsai and all the seniors kept playing as if nothing happend.

It was a good match but what did they really lose? Nothing. And then when they lost again to Kamomedai, the author run away from the consequences and jumped into a timeskip.

Haikyuu feels to much like a Fairy Tale Anime were nothing goes wrong. In other Sports Anime loses feel way bigger, like in Diamond No Ace, there was no bait, they actually lost all there Seniors and Key players like Captain + Ace, had to start over from scratch which created a interesting Story line.

In Hajime no Ippo or Ashita no Joe, boxing can grand you many things but it also takes away whatever it wants like your health. MF‘s putting their health on the line every fight.

I love how obsessed everyone is about winning in Blue Lock and how crushed they are when they lose. Every Game literaly feels like life or death, if they lose against the U20 National team Blue Lock will be erased and everything would had been for nothing, if they lose the World Cup Blue Lock was a failure.

A loss in Haikyuu feels like it does not really matter, 1 Episode later they all still be together having fun and laughing. No stakes, no consequences, matches like Aoba Johsai and Shiratorizawa were still great but Haikyuu really lacks that one crushing defeat with real hard consequences.

Best Goals in Blue Lock?

What are the best/coolest/toughest goals ever made in Blue Lock in your opinion?

Give me like a top 5 or 10 goals if you can.

1.) I would have to say my favorite goal till this day is Bachirad „Super Special Goal“ during the first selection Arc Team Z Vs Team V, they were 0-3 down, everyone basically gave up but Bachira, who got even more excited seeing Team V‘s goals. Step overs to a roulette to get through Reo, Chip into an air elastico to get by Zantetsu + Rainbow flick and Rabona Finish??? Like Bachira went crazy during this sequence, real showcase of Flow State. Craziest most hype and beautiful goal till this day for me.

2.) Shidou‘s „Zlatan Ibrahimovic“ Bycicle Goal during the Blue Lock Eleven Vs JapanU20 match. Absolute madness from Shidou to even attempt and even make that shot + a very cool reference to Ibra fr.

3.) Nagi‘s five stage volley during the Manshine Vs München match. This had me giggling, cause Nagi really just doing whatever he wants and makes it work. Can‘t wait to watch reactions to this goal once the third season comes out.

4.) Of course Nagi has to be in two times in a Top 5 Goals list. Perfect trap the ball with your foot, to a one dribble jumping turn goal during the JapanU20 match. Absolute Cinema. „Hajime mashte….Nipon“

5.) There is something about Bycicle goals so München Vs Ubers, Kaiser‘s Goal against the defesive wall of Ubers.

What you think of my ranking? You agree with my list or you think I forgot about some goal?
