World Five Match – Blue Lock Ep 23 – 24 Review

Isagi and his team take on the best strikers in the World Five Match. Disappointment arises at news of Kunigami’s departure from the second selection.

Blue Lock season one was such a good anime. I enjoyed every single episode I watched and I can’t wait for season two!

Goodbye Monsters – Blue Lock Ep 21 – 22 Review

Rin and Isagi’s battle to control the soccer field intensifies. Bachira realizes that he lost his dream chasing after Isagi and the monsters.

Bachira gets too wrapped up in the Power of Friendship and forgets that he’s competing in the Blue Lock Project. Also…now Isagi has decided to take a turn at humbling Rin. It’s a beautiful thing to see! ☺

Isagi Loses Focus – Blue Lock Ep 14 Review

Naruhaya gets into Isagi’s head and forces the latter to freeze up on the field. Nagi hones his secret weapon formula to shift the match in his favor.

If Isagi doesn’t stop freaking out on the field mid-game, he’ll be leaving Blue Lock soon.

Enter Itoshi’s Battlefield – Blue Lock Ep 13 Review

Itoshi Rin’s militaristic approach to soccer is off-putting to Isagi’s team. Bachira is snatched from Isagi, leaving the latter scrambling to recover his ace.

Welp, Isagi vs Itoshi went about as well as expected.

The Dream Team – Blue Lock Ep 12 Review

Nagi, Bachira, and Isagi team up to progress to the second selection’s next round. Chigiri and Kunigami decide to go their own separate route for success.

Itoshi Rin is acting like a scorned JOJO villain and I think I’m here for it.

Ego Lied! – Blue Lock Ep 11 Review

Ego reveals that he lied about there being more players in other buildings at the facility. Team Z walks into the second selection challenge with confidence.

So, it turns out that Ego lied. There aren’t even 5 buildings in Blue Lock, only one.

Better question – are we even surprised?

A Striker’s Awakening – Blue Lock Ep 9 Review

Bachira single handedly creates a chain reaction of egoist awakenings on Team Z. Reo ponders defeat and begins to doubt Team V’s ability to win the match.

Bachira, Chigiri, Kunigami, and Isagi all have egoist awakenings! This Team Z vs Team V match is insane!

Chigiri Unchained! – Blue Lock Ep 7 Review

Chigiri joins the game and goes supersonic after a literal push from Isagi. Kuon desperately seeks out ways to secure his place in the second round.

I’m glad that Princess Chigiri decided to join the game.

Not to make light of his injury or anything, but his full backstory and flashbacks soured me on his character.

An Egoist is Born – Blue Lock Ep 5 Review

Isagi’s defeat of Team Y unlocks the inner Egoist in him. Chigiri reveals why he joined the Blue Lock Project and confides in Isagi about a past injury.

Jinpachi Ego might actually be a genius for exploiting the success of the best ranked player in each team to motivate the rest to continually train, succeed, and evolve.
