Ahhhh I’ve never clicked on something so fast in my life. I have ADORED Blue Lock since it first started airing. I’m not sure how caught up to the manga release you are as of now, but I think Isagi’s growth lately has been such a blast to watch unfold. Like you said, the uniformity of the goal provides so much room for the different ideologies on how to get there to clash with each other, and the joy of watching these characters all grow into their niche egos and styles is the best part. Loved this, great read!
Oh also! If soccer is a big hook for you, you should check out Ember on the Shonen Jump app. It's very early in the series, but it's setting itself up to use soccer in another unique way.
Thank you! I'm pretty far along the series, up through Isagi's stay at Bastard Munchen, I think. Been on a pause for a bit. I completely agree, his growth was a big piece of what spurred this post. I started asking myself if I really wanted to see him turn out like Rin or Shidou, with a raging ego. And I don't, even if that means he doesn't "win." That's a really compelling place to be for a character.
This is an AMAZING read!! I love Blue Lock and think you made some compelling points. #1 fan!!!
Thank you so much! Although if you're saying you're the #1 Blue Lock fan, I may have to beg to differ.

I definitely have to give that a read, had a couple other folks recommend it to me too
It's really good so far, and the protagonist is a unique one, almost reminiscent of Slam Dunk.
