bro afraid of peak lock😭
9:16 so cold this nigga ruining it with the yap tho 😪
I have nothing against blue lock, and I don't even watch blue lock, but sometimes I saw the panel on Instagram, and why are they so zesty bruh? I'm just curious
@@farizidisini be more specific
If you like futbol so much just go outside and play it
@@bobincognito ?
you keep implying that blue lock denies teamwork completely, which is simply not true. ego's message is that the best egoist striker is the one who leads the team and is the sole star with everyone else being support actors, ie teamwork. barou was wrong because he wanted to do everything by himself instead of taking advantage of his teammates, which was pretty much the whole point of the second selection with the whole chemical reaction and devouring thing. case and point, blue lock never promoted something as ridiculous as denying teamwork and being 100% selfish is the best way to play
i do agree that the noa quote in ep 1 is nonsensical and incoherent. he isnt even like that when we see him in the latest arc of the manga
Blue Lock created a character, Noel Noa, who was better than Messi and Ronaldo, the 2 GOATs of our generation, and had him win the Ballon D'or over them to promote it's theme of selfishness. His quote at 7:11 promotes selfishness over winning. If a made up character is the best player in this world and is used as an example by Ego, the author surrogate, then clearly the author is saying "Play like Noel." Noel would rather lose and score a lot than win and not score. That is selfishness and anti teamwork.
0:17 quote is about scoring "at the expense of your teammates." That is anti teamwork. And then the 0:22 quote is about how the best player is the one who scores the most. If Ego's entire camp is about creating the best striker and Ego believes the best striker scores the most goals, even at the expense of teammates, is it not logical to conclude that Ego believes in selfishness over teamwork? Even the story temporarily acknowledges in Barou's first match. Everyone initially plays selfishly because they want to score the most because of what Ego said. There are even rules that protect the highest scorer on losing teams, which is what Kuon takes advantage of. Scoring the most goals makes Kuon the highest ranked player on his team, even though Ego knew that he colluded with the opponents to score those goals. It's not rocket science.
@@YumesukeSutashika as a bl fan, if i take anything from your criticisms, is that episode 1 is really poorly written and planned out. it seems that the author had the idea that was preached in ep 1 but realized it was terrible and essentialy switched it up
thank you for making me see that
@@YumesukeSutashika just to remind you the whole concept of blue lock itself is to produce a striker on par with noel. and the main concept is by finding an ego. when you say someone has an ego, to an extent it means a selfish way of thought, that also makes them think they are better than the rest.
the whole point of striker in FOOTBALL (saying soccer in and of itself is an insult to football not a fantasy written manga) is to score goals. a goalkeeper prevent goals, a defender defends strikers from passing into the 18 box (goalie box) and midfielders are play makers; they make sure the ball stays in possession while also passing it along to other players primarily other midfielders and the strikers or wingers. if you take the actuality of football into account this show does not insult it.
you say noels speech makes for a selfish style of gameplay, well to an extent it should, not because its how football is player but because he purposefully did so as he was asked to be a trainer in blue lock, meaning he was gonna follow his friends wishes and ultimate goal in producing a striker like him.
in any game sport or video games, the ace of a team is pivotal, they score the most point/kills. that carriers a significant amount of ego itself, but lets not use the word ego in most cases its just pure confidence. these are kids in a manga, they way the author intends to show the meaning of great confidence is by using the words ego, a strong self-belief that they are the best.
criticism is naturally, and i wont say you havent read the manga or watched the anime as a way to demean your argument, clearly you have. however you dont seem to "fully" understand the use of the word ego in terms of this manga.
-spoiler alert-
a big example of lets say clashing "ego" is michael kaiser and yoichi, noel, purposefully put them in the same line up so they can battle it out, with the condition it doesnt affect the teams overall performance, and with the biggest stipulation which was score goals. the battle still fierce, shows isigai and kaiser learning from one another, they both have individual styles and desires. the whole stealing from each other, which weve seen previously in matches ( a selfish play that you wont see in pro teams but only in blue lock because 1 person will become the best striker) is a way to highlight just how much they want to win. in most cases or in any sport team game the most selfish thing you can do is not pass to your team mate while being over confident in your own ability, which we saw examples of in opening of blue lock games, while other players who were confident enough managed this like rin, to dribble through an entire team to score, or itoshi.
main point, its fictional.
@@jafarshahaltough7037holy shit man you cooked
Being pro egoism isnt anti team work no were has the story said its best to ignore the other 10 and play like your the only one playing its saying be the best of the 11 so the hole team revolves around you.
7:11
@YumesukeSutashika that quote doesn't say I'm the only one on my team that matters even in universe its a charchter saying it personally FEELS better to score more goals and lose then not score and win.
bro doesnt know peak😭
"Yumesuke's Library, how quaint. You think Blue Lock is a flop? That's cute. Let me enlighten you.
Blue Lock's premise is exaggerated, yes, but that's the point. It's a commentary on the cutthroat world of professional sports, where only the strongest survive. Jinpachi Ego's unorthodox methods may seem cruel, but they're designed to push his players to their limits, to make them realize their true potential.
Ego is the core of the show, and Jinpachi Ego is the master of it. He's not just a coach, he's a mentor, a manipulator, and a mirror reflecting his players' true selves. He's teaching them that ego is not just confidence, but also self-awareness, strategic thinking, and mental toughness.
You see, Yumesuke's Library, Blue Lock is not just a sports anime; it's a psychological thriller, a character study, and a commentary on the human condition. It's a show that makes you uncomfortable, that makes you question your own limits and motivations.
So, no, Blue Lock is not a flop. It's a masterpiece, a work of art that will leave you breathless and questioning everything. And if you can't handle the heat, then maybe you should stick to your mediocre analysis and leave the real thinking to those of us who can handle the truth. ( short answer basically you said things that made some sense in some way but the whole point of bluelock is survival of the fittest the exaggeration in the show I understand but from my perspective of the show it's meant to be about pushing past ur limits but also remembering that there are people who are better than you out there but that shouldn't be the reason you stop also btw this is my own personal view of the show it's the reason I'm a semi pro football /soccer player aight peace✌)
"Enlighten." You basically said the same thing as several people from the first video. You're twisting the message of the story to cope with the its ridiculousness and poor writing.
Also, I never called it a flop. "Flop" implies that it sold poorly, but Fraud Lock sells well. I never discussed Fraud Lock's sales, just its poor writing quality.
Hmhh 😧man I'm tired tbh if the story don't make sense for ya then idk cause even I as are semi pro football player understand the whole point of bluelock but basically you saying the writing doesn't match with the sport or somethin cause I'm confused the simple answer to bluelock's story is whoever score's the most goals and is able to use everyone around to score for they're selves 😧also please explain it to me from ur side btw I wanna know
its anime made for enjoyment 😭😭
I think people need to be ok with admitting they enjoy an edgier aged up version of Inazuma 11. Kuroko basically had the same appeal imo, though I think Blue Lock has cooler artwork in the manga. Your conclusion of viewing it through the lens of a battle manga vs sports manga is interesting, and makes a lot of sense given how much has to be simplified for the ability system.
Kuroko gets pretty absurd in season 3, but it starts off mild.
Yumesuke’s soccer arc is heat🔥
Fax
You calling football "soccer" is a much bigger insult than Blue Lock ever will be.
This guy did not just make a diss track 😂😂😂😂😂
u just gotta embrace the hype,show is not just about football its about ego, and being selfish to achieve your dreams, football in this show is just a medium to portray different ideals and mindsets that successful people have
Okay but how does this affect LeBron’s formula??
In my opinion from the start i theorized that the authors plan was that by the end of the show Ego and the blue lock players would come to a middle ground basically saying that he isn’t completely wrong but that 100% selfishness is gonna be more harmful then anything so to say the author has bad righting when we haven’t seen how he’s gonna end it yet is kinda short sighted, the idea could be to have 2 extremes collide for the perfect combo players for Japanese football
Someome get these children eye drops. Their eyes stay wide af.
Hmhh 😧 man it jus hit me why do we bluelock fans keep commenting the more of us who keep commenting the more popular the vid gets by trying to prove a point here it's a waste of time yo ik one of y'all bouta say so why did you comment lmao
Theres nothing wrong with making this video popular he still put work into the vid. Just because we may not agree does not mean it has to be that big a deal we can just have an adult conversation and not care about not making this video popular. Its not a waste of time to have a adult discussion its people like you who feels that every oppositional argment to your own belifes has to be and actual agrument.
Now lemme think 😧 who said it was a big deal all I said was trying to explain to someone who doesn't understand bluelock or thinks the writing is bad is are waste of time and by adult discussion I don't see one and I never said I had a prob with making this vid popular I jus like I said it's pointless trying to explain something to someone who doesn't understand so ur comment was irrelevant to me also god bless and have are great day peace also you can answer whenever
So you didn’t like it..But kept continuing the series after your first video…I don’t get the logic behind the simple fact of maybe rage bait or triggering the fans.You’ve already said your criticisms and how you felt about the show..Why was a second video needed..I agreed with the first one but to keep going with a series you dislike to dislike even more seems not only disingenuous but also kind of Stupid and hateful.I watched Jojo’s Part 1 hated it.Why would I go to Part 2 if I hated part one?If you could explain the logic behind it then sure.
Job's not finished
@@YumesukeSutashika feels like you ain’t answer my question but sure
He is rage baiting hating on popular things gets views people who react and it will bring views to his channel he will probably keep watching and making videos if they keep getting popular
it is rather the fact of calling football,Soccer which is an insult
i mean its more complicated then that. the "ego" thing is egos theory and the blue lock is the testing ground to see if its true. it become more prevalent in the manga but you'll see that its using your ego to create goals getting people to pass to you and create opportunities for goals. its obv your not a real egoist 😈
My man standing on business
Damn I forgot how corny and cringe Blue Lock's dialogues are. it's been a while since I dropped the manga.
As a manga fan, I can confirm the dialogues are not the best art all
pick it back up the art is amazing and the recent arc have been true HYPE
Umm quick question how do I react to this am I supposed to be offended or angry 💀coz I'm lost fr
@@jreggrae I might
@@Blaze-ze6hp Why would you be offended and angry? I just find some of the dialogues (like "devouring" and shooting in the womb) cringe.
Cantenaccio was decent i mess with the concept of 2 chances, Ao Ashi had me in the first half but then they made him a defender, Kramer who???
You just didn't get so many points, part 2 of real life coping
Blue lock shits on every soccer manga out there lit bro, if you don't agree with its philosophy that's on you.
Havent picked up BL yet, but have they ever went into goalkeepers? I mean they're the ones that really prevent the opponents goals to begin with...
They do in the fourth arc
Make a video about ao ashi it's peak
Already did
Bro no one gives a fk about that trash anime shallow asf
Can bro just shut up and enjoy the anime holy 😭🙏
Look I enjoy Blue lock as much a the next guy but, Ao Ashi clears
lmao yeah clears my queue after I had to skip through that garbage. Literally every episode of blue lock is better than any episode of Ao Ashi.
Its a anime, relax lol
I know they say weapons and there's signature abilities but it's just regular things like people in real life have things there great at like dribbling or a great shot there just over the top for entertainment how they talk about it real life player's have the same things just don't call them there weapon
imo bl gives me a different taste of sports. I'm so tired of those typical animes that uses the power of teamwork and friendship to win.
I like blue lock i really liked kuroko's basketball there not realistic but there motivational and hype and entertaining i don't want anime to be realistic I would just play the sport myself if i want realistic soccer i like when it's crazy over the top for entertainment that doesn't make it bad just depends on want you are looking for if you want realistic soccer just watch the world cup or something
Blue Lock is a standout anime for its gripping narrative that dives deep into the psychology of competition and personal growth. Set in a high-stakes world of soccer, the series follows the journey of talented young players who are thrust into a unique training program aimed at producing Japan's next great striker. What sets Blue Lock apart is its intense focus on character development, as each player confronts their fears, ambitions, and limitations in the pursuit of greatness. The anime masterfully weaves together elements of sports strategy, psychological drama, and emotional depth, creating a compelling narrative that keeps viewers on the edge of their seats.
Moreover, Blue Lock excels in its animation and portrayal of soccer matches, capturing the dynamism and skill of the sport with breathtaking visuals and meticulous attention to detail. From intense training sessions to exhilarating game sequences, every moment in Blue Lock is crafted to immerse the audience in the thrilling world of competitive soccer. With its complex characters, compelling storyline, and stunning animation, Blue Lock stands out as a must-watch anime that resonates with both sports enthusiasts and fans of gripping storytelling alike.
As a BL fan, please go into the manga and continue this, I am enjoying your criticism and find your debate interesting
I would say I find ego trying to awaken the ego in extreme measures to create players that can take Japan global, like some marvel winter soldier bs.
Overall I beg you to go into the manga
It’s not an insult but a love letter to soccer and it’s for fun
Somehow, the criticisms of the 1st selection video are also here, where in this case, appear more egregious. I will only speak about 2-3 of these, as they probably are the main points.
The argument about “Ego’s philosophy is wrong because because players use teamwork” is not the actual point. Since the 1st selection, it has been said that an exceptional strikers is the one that scores goals and leads the entire team into winning. Meaning 1-3 people are the scorers and the others are the supporters (All the team in the 1st selection arc were made of different team systems). What he means by “selfish striker” is one that only cares about himself scoring goals and being the center of the team. Barou’s case was wrong because his personality was the problem with him. By “losing” to Isagi, he evolved. To the point where he now can score goals at a better way.
The way the characters play by only formulas and chemical reactions makes sense, considering what are they actually. Unlike professional players at European clubs, these guys are high-schoolers that aren’t used to the professional environment. The only exception is Rin, where he has a lot more than just “Spatial Awareness”, because he’s a genius.
I won’t spoil much, but in the latest arc, where the characters play in prestigious European clubs, the “Masters” have way better physicalities, and frankly better ways of playing. They don’t just shoot, but also dribble, trap, pass, etc., something that is incapable for these high-schoolers at their current level.
At last, I’m glad you are comparing this to Ao Ashi and Catenaccio, cause it means that you still are missing the point of Blue Lock.
Blue Lock isn’t a sport anime that consists of just matches. It is a battle royale, where players are being forced to change their ideology of playing football. Instead of sticking to Japan’s way, Ego wants to mimic how Europe’s mindset plays, cause it is clearly superior. Meaning BL is more akin to a shonen battle rather than a typical football match, especially with the “chemical reactions”, “formulas” and “Reflex” (this will be revealed in the 2nd season).
Bad faith? I back up all of my arguments with video evidence from the anime. Half of these videos are evidence. What did you back yours up with?
While I don't always agree with Yumesuke, he at least argues his points with good context rooted in the source material. Yumesuke is always going to rub people the wrong way because he argues frankly with little room for interpretation.
I haven't seen Blue Lock so I don't really stand on either side of the issue. But when a story implements a teacher or master character that has some degree of legitimate authority over the cast, the author is essentially using them as a means to espouse the main ideas of the narrative, *OR* the main ideas of the system that the story will be using. Sometimes, the author can use these teacher/master characters to deliberately teach bad or misguided views ie: Terry Silver from The Karate Kid 3.
By using a master/teacher character at all, Blue Lock is committing to portraying some semblance of philosophy or ideology within the work. There are only 3 routes that can branch from this:
1. Blue Lock uses Ego to teach good values of how to play Fútbol because the author understands the game to some level
2. Blue Lock uses Ego to teach poor values on purpose so that the characters and by extension, the audience, can learn what these bad values are then work to correct them by changing Ego's and the other characters' mindsets with character development and narrative arcs, or by foiling him with a better master/teacher character (ie: Master Roshi vs Master Shen)
3. Blue Lock uses Ego to teach good values of how to play Fútbol, but doesn't understand the game, that his messages are farcical when they're not intended to be, doesn't realise that the themes don't match the storylines, or all of the above.
The best you could argue is that Blue Lock is using method 2, and is poorly implementing it into the story, but with Yumesuke's arguments, it feels like it might unfortunately be 3.
@@kylefields3951 Brilliant breakdown. I forgot to put it tin the script, but I strongly believe that Ego is the audience surrogate. Most to All of Ego's opinions are the author's opinions (maybe slightly exaggerated). I believe the author thinks he's in route 1, but like you said, I think he's in route 3. Some fans think he's in route 2, but I think that's coping because there isn't enough evidence for that.
Its football not soccer
The show says "soccer" and its the same thing and you know that.
They call it soccer
