Know that i’m not even close to being good at drawing and it looks kinda stale because they both are pretty much the same wing design but it’s because just one of the wings took me almost 2 weeks to make so I didn’t wanna make more because you know….took awhile and i’ll leave the last thing in comments so more people see it because it’s pretty important
This whole thing is ridiculous. I'm not going to get into the technical aspects because Kaneishiro clearly knows nothing about soccer, but he just doesn't want Isagi to have a downfall. If the play fails, it won't be Isagi's fault; it will be entirely Rin's. It's just ridiculous and annoying. The community won't be angry at Isagi, only at Rin, and that bastard has already had too much development! If Isagi's downfall really starts, it would mean it's because he can't manage his toxic relationship with Rin, and that's a shame.
Kaiser showing how not to do a Tepid Steal ✌️✌️
I've seen many people have their doubts, stating that this shot is not making it. But as a Devil's advocate, what would you think if they pulled it off?
I don't even like Rin but back then when he was introduced he was presented to be overwhelmingly superior to anyone else in the blue lock. That stayed more or less consistent for a few matches but the author has reduced this guy to isagi dependent when the dynamic was completely opposite.
Isagi was more of team dependent and rin could make solo plays on his own but the recent matches and specially this one theyve made rin a total fraud, and the only highlight of him is try to make a meaningless attempt to make the solo goal of isagi into a "double-goal" really? If the goal doesn't happen it would be clearly cuz rin messed it up. Even if it did happen there's no way to prove if rin helped or didn't, even if they could prove it, it's still such a shallow highlight of this guy compared to how he was introduced in the beginning.
The author has turned him into such a garbage character with nothing going with him but just waiting for isagi to make plays.
I am not saying I expect evey character to work in every match, but the way rin is being handled is just bad writing.
So he has Rin, Barou, Kaiser, and i cant really think of more at the top of my head. he def has more cus isagi be attracting men like a magnet.
I’m %99 sure loki is blocking isagis(and rins) shot next chapter so I made the list based on them not scoring. This will also mean this is the first match Rin didn’t score since his introduction💔… are we entering “itoshi Rin downfall arc”??
I think that he is an interesting character whose relationship with Yoichi was fun to read. He's also handsome...
On another note, I am excited to see the other teams face off.
ART IS NOT MINE
The way Kaneshiro has been handling Shidou not just this France game but since the NEL is crazy. The only reason why he made the top 3 in terms of bids is because Kaneshiro isn't ready to put Barou above Shidou. Shidou receives enough narrative to stay afloat most of the other blue lockers but not enough feats to justify his position. Before the PxG game started Shidou spoke like it'd be a massive Kaiju battle centered around Isagi, Kaiser, Rin and Shidou. As soon as Shidou scores the one feat that puts him higher than Ubers he is immediately removed from the equation. It becomes "rock paper scissors" where Kaiser Rin and Isagi counter each other whilst Shidou gets locked up by Kunigami for the sake of plot. Even when Zantetsu covers Kunigami and sets Shidou free Rin dunks on him and goes to score before phantom Sae interrupts. Shidou also tries to team up with Rin multiple times just for Rin's greedy ass not to pass back and fumble costing PxG the game. Shidou also continues to be the poster boy alongside Rin and Isagi when the U20 World Cup begins and before the France game begins also gets additional lobs from Charles...just for the two to hardly interact this game. Yes he got his moment when Karasu chose him. But when Loki comes to stop him Barou steals the ball and dunks on both Loki and Shidou. And of course in true Kaneshiro nature moment he sets up how Blue Lock's system is currently based on the double jokers they also get sidelined straight after. Shidou gets absolutely done dirty. France could've been both his and Loki's game but no. I don't think Shidou will be getting any true moments to shine until Sae joins the team. Until then he'll just be the top 3 simply because Kaneshiro wants him to be. He won't get much feats or screentime but hey. At least NOW he has actual dribbling feats that are on competent players and not on Igaguri. He is simply carried by the narrative. Maybe Shidou and Barou will be starters against England. But they'll get like 5 minutes of focus before being shafted again.
This might just seem like me hating on Isagi, but in all honesty, this right here is plot at its finest.
First, why did Hugo even accept this duel in the first place? Cause when you think about it, it’s contradictory. If Hugo’s philosophy is destiny through suitability, and Isagi is rebelling specifically to challenge Hugo to a battle of luck, what reason does he have to respect this challenge at all.
Second, Hugo is in his penalty box in the last minute of the game. Challenging this at all is extremely rash and illogical, which is the opposite of how he plays. It just feels like his defensive iq was nerfed at the end of the game just for this last minute evolution from Isagi.
Third, what reason does he have to gamble and pick a side for? Hugo is already close enough to recover if Isagi picked either side, instead he rushes in and makes a risky move that completely goes against how he plays.
To sum this up, it feels like Kaneshiro’s afraid of Isagi falling off cause why write a problem like Isagi’s pressure before the France game and him somehow not only come to a conclusion after just 80 minutes, but beat Hugo, the person reinforcing this problem in Isagi’s head.
