"Blue Lock Season 1 Talkback [2/7-7/25]"

[Kitschensyngk]

Well, looks like it's disappointing office jobs and menial labor for them.

There's always a career as a TV sports analyst.

And now they train until they drop.

"I'm sore in places I didn't know I could be sore in!"

 

[Yojimbo]

Ulp, an athlete's worse nightmare. Conditioning several days in a row.

 

[Nobodyman]

Ok, updated goals for First Selection:

TEAM Z
Kunigami: 1 (vs. Team X) +2 (vs. Team Z) =3

Gagamaru: 1 (vs. Team Y)=1

Isagi: 1 (vs. Team Y) + 1 (vs. Team V)=2

Kuon: 3 (vs. Team W)=3

Chigiri: 1 (vs. Team W) + 1 (vs. Team V)=2

Bachira: 1 (vs. Team V)=1

(out of order)
TEAM X
Baro: 2 (vs. Team V) + 1 (vs. Team X)+ 3 (vs. Team Y) + 4 (vs. Team Z) =10

Meiji 1 (vs. Team Z) =1

TEAM Y
Okawa: 1 (vs. Team Z) + 1 (vs. Team X)=2

Niko: 1 (vs. Team W) + 3 (vs. Team X)=4

TEAM W
Junichi: 1 (vs. Team Y) + 1 (vs. Team V) + 2 (vs. Team X) + 2 (vs. Team Z) = 6

Keisuke 2 (vs. Team Z) + 2 (vs. Team X) = 4

TEAM V
Nagi: 1 (vs. Team W) + 3 (vs. Team X) + 3 (vs. Team Y) + 3 (vs. Team Z)=10

Zantetsu: 2 (vs. Team Y) + 2 (vs. Team W) +1 (vs. Team X) + 1 (vs. Team Z)=6

Reo: 2 (vs. Team W) + 1 (vs. Team X) + 3 (vs. Team Y)=6

Baro and Nagi are tied for most goals at 10 each.

Team Z, Team V, Baro, Niko, and Junichi advance.

For a moment, I thought this was a calculus equation.

No time to rest on their laurels. Soul-crushing training awaits.

"Yes, I lied to you all. And I promise to never ever do it again...until the next time."

 

[Kitschensyngk]

And the other players turn out to be Goliaths.

Mandark is a dick.

 

[Yojimbo]

More mind games. Shocker.

Hmm, to advance in Second Selection you have to beat several challenges solo. Gonna be a lot of intercutting between the cast?

lmao, Raichi ended up last.

 

[Kitschensyngk]

No pressure or anything.

There are no friends. Only future opponents.

Eren Yeager sure can kick a ball.

"We can be monsters too, can't we?"
This place practically demands it.

 

[Nobodyman]

Yeah, yeah, impressive. But what is the practical use of that in a game?

"We all rock! But I rock the most!"

Roshambo Round Two!

 

[Kitschensyngk]

Blue Lock is the kind of place that produces monsters, like that company or that university.

And that Elon Mandark guy is giving off major Gromble vibes.

 

[Grenzer]

Has anyone else seen the trailer for the upcoming Blue Lock live action movie? It looks decent:

 

[Yojimbo]

Episode 12 "The Second Selection" - April 25, 2026

With many candidates dropping out, Blue Lock project moves on to the second selection. It’s where a teammate becomes a foe, and a foe becomes a teammate. And here, Isagi meets Itoshi Rin, the strongest egoist he’s ever met, the top player of the new Blue Lock ranking and the little brother of the genius Itoshi Sae. To evolve even further, Isagi’s battle proceeds to a new stage.

 

[Nobodyman]

Previously on Blue Lock: The winners move on, the losers become little league soccer coaches who take out their frustrations on the vulnerable youth.

 

[Kitschensyngk]

Last time: Congrats, your team made it. Now we start picking off your teammates.

They put him in a room and start pelting him with soccer balls.

 

[Nobodyman]

"That came out of nowhere."
No, it came out of a panel in the wall.

And now he has to fight the wire frame men from Super Smash Bros.

 

[Yojimbo]

One on one against a hologram?

Oh, they have to score x amount of goals in x amount of time. edit: Ah, 100 in 90 minutes.

 

[Kitschensyngk]

Dr. Manhattan plays goalie.

Maybe stop wasting time with the internal monologues.

100 goals in 90 minutes? Wouldn't your legs get tired before then?

Blue Lock Man, the superhero who got bald by blocking 1000 goals.

You think an eccentric billionaire cares about overspending?

 

[Nobodyman]

Is the chain around its neck really necessary?

Soccer holograms. Boy, isn't that money that could've been used to feed hungry children.

 

[Yojimbo]

Gets harder after 30 goals. Forces more evolving.

AI? Keep an eye on that hologram.

Ha. This had to be costing a lot of money.

Truly adapt or die.

Green aura, hmm.

 

[Nobodyman]

100 goals in 90 minutes. That's one goal every 54 seconds.

Humans win over AI once again.

Okay, I guess we're done with that.

 

[Kitschensyngk]

Schools like this have GOT to give students mental disorders.

Stage two is 3x3 soccer.

 

[Yojimbo]

Ooo, form a team of 3. Hope rest of team Z makes it...
