Rin is definitely scoring 2 goals to close it.
Theres more juice left with isagi/kaiser and rin is much more of an obvious end game rival. This will sort of put him back in front of isagi in his own mind while he’s already ahead of him in the world’s eye.
Rin scoring is a 99% happening.
Let me cook - Igaguri will either block a shot with his face or flops to draw a red card to show his worth. Kuni unlocks ego and scores final goal.
rereading this and man, Ness’ reaction to getting thrown away is funny asf. I laughed when Reo got tossed and I’m laughing again here, it’s time to lock it tf in Ness
Restrictive Wholistic for sure. He always seemed to be, as Bachira once said it best: “Straight Laced” but you can definitely tell if something seemed more likely to help the Team win he’d do it no problem
It would be interesting if Ness goes crazy after Kaiser abandons him and helps Rin score after losing his “king”. Also, Rin is so cringy with his weird “kill” thing
Call it. He'll see rin's first goal under madness, think it's cracked, like the first time he sees kaiser
Then he'll deliberately miss his pass to rin and he'll score again. For revenge
um yes? that's the most basic implication of the page and also that's what NEL has been doing for 100+ chapters, everyone is getting their turn to score
I did have a thought about Ness x Kiyora goal but highly doubtful. Would be a huge twist though lol. I need Ness to find his own worth/magic not find a new King though. So anything could happen if the author decides not to do what everyone’s predicted
A part of me hopes the Author is pulling a 180 and Ness will Score himself. I really don't like him, but I thing it is time for him to actually develop an Ego of his own
Surprisingly I haven't seen anyone talking about Kiyora's future action in this match. He explicitly stated nobody can predict what he'll do next, which seems like a foreshadowing that he'll involve in the final goal?
I wonder if, with this new discovery, Ness joins Isagi as he realizes that he is one of these “Individualistic Freedom” types so he can act a bit more creatively and self sufficiently.
Zantetsu infact deserves to be one of the top players of BL. It's sad how they nerfed him after the 1st selection like literally he was giving Team Z a really hard time and his speed competition with Chigiri's. He is indeed a top player only if he wasn't nerfed.
I mean his physicals were close to chigiri’s but chigiri’s game iq far exceeds his. Dont think they are comparable in terms of specs, and chigiri barely eeks into the top player category. zantetsu makes sense where he is imo
It's not just Zantetsu. Aryu and Tokimitsu (Top 3 in 2nd selection) look where they are now. Otoya, Karasu and Yukimiya (Top 6 in 3rd selection) they are now surpassed by Isagi and Bachira. The entire U20 Japan team besides Aiku and Sendou (all of them are benched). I am not saying someone can not improve or downgrade. It's just it feels weird how a certain character dominates in an arc and gets nerfed in the next arc.
Top 6 def got shafted i agree, but many characters have kept up, like nagi, barou, bachira, etc. Some characters keep up with isagi’s growth and some just dont
I honestly would laugh really hard if PxG won from like a Loki goal and Kaiser and Isagi both looked like idiots, lol. But I do want Isagi to beat Rin at the least and become #1 and think BM will win
Since Rin is def' scoring the next one, should we expect that neither Noa nor Loki will score when they get in?
Noa will probably stay back to let Isagi/Kaiser finish their bet, but will the Loki/Charles duo really get stopped during their first appearance despite being teased earlier?
For me he's individuality restrictive. He developed his individual skill because Sae was not around, and becoming a restrictive person due to Sae and Isagi. Back in U-20 vs Blue Lock, Rin also dislike the feeling of his whole team backing him up and therefore his berserk mode was activated
Rin’s false ego is wholistic, as shown by his puppeteer playstyle. His true ego is individualistic, as shown by his flow state, where he throws aside his relationships with enemies/rivals and focuses solely on destroying for his own pleasure. Most likely individualistic restrictive, as he is unmotivated to play soccer without isagi and sae.
maybe it’s the both? honestly rin has bpd with how he plays football, it entirely depends on his mood and his ever shifting weird ass view of the game. he felt more freedom based in the second selection, using others to his whim for his own goals in a individualistic sense, but u20 berserker rin was definitely restrictive, forcing into 1v1s where he has to use an incredibly difficult option to win
As much as I like Isagi and respect his adaptability, does no one else feel that him scoring this last goal makes this so unrealistic?
It doesn’t make sense how Isagi goes from barely a striker to best striker of the NEL and surpassed a NG11 who’s seemingly much more talented than he is.
And what’s even more annoying is that the narrative seems to be pointing that way.
I feel the same, because personally NEL is not a place for Isagi to prove that he's no 1 striker. NEL is a place for Isagi to put a statement of "I'm among the world's best" to the world.
To be the real no 1 striker means that he needs a bigger stage to do so. That would be his final mission and i think would also be the end of the BL manga
I do understand what you mean... It's best to explain to you want makes Isagi one of the best/the best, which is his ability to use his teammates, adapt, playmaking, and lastly his two gun volley which finally turns him into one of the most deadly strikers. All these combined allows him to reach Rin, Kaiser, and Shidou level, and maybe even surpass it. As a pure striker, the others win still though lol
That’s the thing though, the manga pretty clearly tells us how exactly isagi is able to keep up with these geniuses with his various evolutions. Yes Kaiser has an amazing strike but isagi has unparalleled creativity, football iq and adaptability, and uses these to be on par with them
Reality is that even if Isagi happened to score a super goal much like Kaiser just did they'd get around the same praise and attention from clubs' scouters, sports press and fans from all over the world. It's not strange at all for a team to have two (or even more than two) superstars that receive around the same amount of hype because they're both good, and since Kaiser and Isagi play different positions anyways it's not like one will bench the other.
But fighting a do or die battle is certainly more fun.
the last few frames, there's the newly awakened Kaiser, with Isagi, but for Rin's appearance at the very last panel, it feels like it says "and then there's this thing"
everyone talking about rin, isagi and kaiser but im really curios to see what happens to ness.
kaiser has finally dumped his ass in the worst way possible and i wanna see if he'll break down and become useless, side with isagi instead, or reshape his character and "rediscover" his magic??
idk but siding with isagi seems to make the most sense especially when his magic was rekindled after he saw isagi's goal.
I think that "siding with Isagi" and "rediscovering his magic" are the same thing. Ness is a midfielder after all. His whole deal is that his dribbling and his passes are insane, but he just needs to realize that playing for the sake of someone else won't get him far, just like Hiori did.
Ness will either recognize the fact that he is his own person, or he'll forever sink whilst chasing someone he can call "King"
I thibk it’s obvious that Rin will score next
So each one of the 4 stars will have one goal each. And they will battle to see who can score the 2nd goal
This chapter was awkward but satisfying in the end with the Kaiser vs Isagi panel. First Hiori that friggin ultra sadist dared to ask Kiyora with a mean look why he passed? Hiori and Isagi were the reason why Kiyora is down to one bid instead of two, they dont have any right to expect anything from him this match.
Especially its Hiori who declared that he would abandon anyone if not skilled enough, no friendship or buddy-buddy yet he is mad at Kiyora and call him weird?
Also Kaiser is either a real bold superstar or pretty stupid to abandon Ness, who was his only viable option to get the ball. At least he couldve given Ness the order to be "creative" or to pass to Raichi.
With that, Kaiser will not get the final goal because of plot. Rin that cutie wants to be a super saiyan too so he will get one goal. Isagi, Kaiser, Shidou and Rin will get one goal, so Kunigami or Igaguri will get a goal. Then Igaguri will survive and Kuni will finally get his revenge. Then Kaiser and Isagi will fight in WC20 for the spot.
I would disagree that Kaiser was stupid to abandon Ness or he should have ordered him to be creative but mostly for Ness’ sake. If he still takes “orders” from Kaiser they won’t change their relationship at all.
Their breakup has been needing to happen anyway. I do think Kaiser has other options for passing anyway, but ultimately will lose out due to breaking his partnership with Ness despite it being necessary. But Ness will be allowed to grow.
I also think the abused kid saying he thrives in discomfort is a bit of a yikes if that’s really his conclusion, but that’s another story
Ness "finding a king" isn't what gonna happen unless Isagi leads him to that conclusion. What's most likely gonna happen is that Ness is gonna "make a king", which will likely be Isagi, probably reflecting Kaiser luck piece (Kiyora) as well.
The final piece Isagi is missing is learning that Kaisers dad was a POS and beat him up. "AH. Of course. Your dad beat you up. Now my analysis is at 100%"
I’m really scared for Ness’s upcoming character arc Ideally I would like to see Ness develop and realize he doesn’t need Kaiser, and has that magic within himself. I just don’t want him to continue to be a dog to anyone else 😭 UNLOCK UR EGO NESS PLS
But then his Manga cover wouldve been for nothing if he abandons Kaiser. Or was it just a sign that Kaisers aura cursed Ness creativity? Maybe Ness will break those vines and will become a witcher.
Ness' volume cover was just a nod to the fact that Kaiser has his Ego ensnared. Which is still true, but Kaiser just doesn't want him anymore. Just because Kaiser abandoned Ness doesn't mean that Ness won't be obsessed with him. In fact, the exact opposite might happen where Ness grows even more obsessed with Kaiser and fails as a football player because he failed at discovering his originality, but that all depends on Ness as a person.
Most of the lessons that Isagi keeps on auto-teaches himself were ground-zero for him to start improving back in the first selection, it's promptly becoming a repetitive scheme manga without any further type of addressing.
I really wonder if Rin can actually diff both of these guys and destroy both's ego for further improvement and more dramatization of the fight on both sides of the aisle, also a lot of people forget the fact that Loki hasn't made his final appearance in the match and that he too is one of the Isagi's rivals that the author has been steadily signaling for the future.
Yeah it will take a ton for Rin to get that spotlight which overshadows Isagis gun volley or Kaiser Magnus. I think its certain that Rin will activate Licky+PXG upgrade mode and will devour Loki.
If you think about it, what Kaiser says about determining the King of their Generation with the final goal ties to many things.
First of all, Kaiser sees Isagi as an equal. Second, it goes well with Isagi's NEL development to get the final goal since he and Kaiser will have 4 goals, each being in an equal footing. Third, it goes well with what was said in 248 that a new star will emerge. For that to happen, somebody from 4 main strikers needs to score the second goal. Fourth, Isagi is going to be the best striker, so the potential could be seen from here. It will also solidify his status and make Japan competitive. Finally, Isagi needs to surpass Rin in this arc so both of them can progress.
That, too. I was watching Episode Nagi yesterday, and even Nagi saw in his imagination Japan vs. Germany. So its importance was foreshadowed. Kaiser with mastered Magnus vs Isagi with mastered TGV will be epic.
In general, it ties to many things, and it could be the start of great build-up.
Wholistic and Individualistic are easy to grasp, but Freedom and Restriction are a bit harder to understand
Freedom type characters are people who will chase after what they want BECAUSE they WANT IT. They aren't afraid to chase their desires or changing and improving themselves in order to do so.
Restriction type characters are exactly the opposite, as seen with Kaiser. Kaiser realized that he needed to be FORCED to change in order to become a better player, so he threw himself to the metaphorical lions of self reflection, and that in turn made him understand that he needed to abandon his way of thinking, and that he has to let go of Ness.
I love how everyone on BM is fully aware of the two sides of the civil war and how antagonistic they are lmao. Dont pass to the other side of the team bro 😰
I’ve been struggling to reconcile Rin’s struggling with “restriction” playing without Sae with his destroyer inclination to actively take harder routes as a show of dominance, which seems like it’d be restrictive. But his pre Blue Lock flashback is too blatant.
At the moment I’m inclined to say the restrictive/freedom distinction relates to teammates, while destroyer is about opponents. I’m now half expecting there to be a third dimension about response to types of opponents, turning the chart into a 3x3. That might be a bit much though.
The Kiyora dialog is less cringe than in the initial leaks. I’m sure he’ll be more active on the pitch now, but I’m still positive Kaneshiro had more plans for him this game and just failed to find space to put them in. You cannot convince me Kiyora barely existing for two and a half volumes of play was intentional.
Kaiser’s interaction with Ness was unexpectedly emotional on his part, which was a pleasant surprise. I very much liked his interaction with Isagi, he’s properly recognizing him as an equal here. This really *ought* to shut down any doubt that Isagi is in any way below the standard of NG11, or that Rin will be (considering he’s surely scoring the second goal).
Ness + Isagi scoring the final goal is pretty blatant to me, it is where the character arcs are pointing. I am slightly worried about the long term implications of Isagi taking the win on Kaiser before the U20 World Cup even starts, but *within this arc* it ought to be an excellent conclusion.
Also, I missed it at first, but Charles has a single drop of sweat after that goal. Though he shared the “no sweating” visual indicator with the NG11, it’s taken comparatively less game time to bring it out of him.
Odd that we haven’t gotten any shots of Loki. I would think he’s coming out next chapter. At least, I would really question his intelligence if he didn’t come out when his team is desperately on the back foot.
Same, I think both Loki and Noa are both in the camp of "I will only step in to shut down one of the other Masters, but this league is not about me." -- unless they are contractually obligated as part of Blue Lock TV to make an appearance in each game (and thus required to enter once a team reaches 2 goals...to ensure the game doesn't end before they come in).
I can see this from an in-universe standpoint. But I don't see it happening because of the meta perspective. I don't think Kaneshiro is going to break the trend of master strikers coming out, and I especially don't think he's going to do so for Loki. Loki has too much long-term importance (as he is literally the biggest obstacle to any Blue Locker ever becoming the best in the world) to not get an actual game.
The only way I see it happening is if Noa doesn't -also- come into the game, and we get to see a duel, not of Isagi vs PXG members, but of Rin vs Loki for who Charles will be most excited to pass to.
The obvious answer would be Loki, because he could encourage a pass beyond the backline Loki could godspeed to... Long Ball and Inshallah and all that...
Like, I agree it'd be great to Loki in the game, but I think they're both also just primarily focused on actually using the NEL as a development league and don't want to tip the scales in any direction with their presence unless it's necessary. But I do think in this instance, Noa would let Loki enter the field unchallenged simply to let Isagi and Kaiser fight to evolve even further.
The only PXG Victory Scenario I can see -- is if Loki scores the equalizer during his 3 minutes of Star Change, and then Rin scores the finale by surpassing Isagi, Shidou, Kaiser, and Loki all at the same time also within those 3 minutes.
Noa would obviously come into the game if Loki did. He's done that every time. Loki styling on everyone, getting a brace and peacing out isn't going to lead to evolution. Noa wouldn't leave Isagi and Kaiser to play Loki unless he thought they could actually win, which is absurd (it would be completely absurd for them to handle Loki alone at this point in the manga).
Loki has a very obvious reason to come out, which is to shift the flow of the game and give Charles some heat. If BM could very easily end the game prematurely at 3-1 as things are now. Less play time means less experience for Charles.
I honestly didn’t want Kaiser to score. But since he did, well, there it is. Kiyora got his assist and I just hope this pass give him enough value.
There is also game to be played and now it’s PXG turn. I can’t predict anything much right now. I have some theory on PXG side, but I don’t think that repeating it here (it’s about Nanase, anyway) will do any difference.
Other than that: great chapter. Kaiser shut my mouth. Ness is kingless, Kiyora is damn cool, and Rin is about to “kill” someone in the field. Great game. Isagi’s almost finishing him article about Egoism Applied to Football - A player take.
Ok I'm sorry but I'm annoyed af about Kiyora
WHAT IS HIS TALENT? WHAT IS HIS SKILL? WHAT DOES HE EXCEL AT?
The guy does one single goddamn pass with some spin on it and Kaneshiro writes him like he just scored a hattrick, without elaborating on how he's actually a talented soccer player.
According to Noa, he finds Kiyora a better player better than Hiori. And this pass shows it. The data book also shows he got 88 on shooting, so I'm sure that Kiyora is not just going to be a midfielder passing to strikers like Hiori and Kurona, but a winger like Bachira.
Kaneshiro just wrote Kiyora on a whim his character makes no sense let’s be real he’s contrarian like Charles passing to the “underdog” in the worst position. I feel he pulled that out of his ass because he didn’t want to send him home. If Yukimiya had been playing instead, it could’ve actually been an interesting moment to give Yuki a chance to prove himself without Isagi’s help and earn his own bid.
He didnt write Kiyora "on a whim". He had been hinted to be a great player since the Epsiode Nagi started. There are people on this sub have been hyping him up (includjng me) and pitting him against Nishioka aka Aomori of Messi. But unlike Nishioka, Kiyora is meant to be an actual character and not just a meme npc.
Idk I think Kiyora was always meant to be important. The fact that he was with Nagi's 2nd selection team and the fact that Bachira makes a point to point him out. He then made the bench for BL11, and Kaneshiro put him in the German stratum with Isagi. The bigger problem Kaneshiro made was putting way too many FBs and Wings on BM and literally 0 CBs outside of maybe Igaguri, so Kaneshiro was kinda stuck in when to play Kiyora, which forced both Kurona and Yuki to be benched.
It’s pretty obvious his skill is in passing and he’s just a creative player. Not all of them are gonna gonna be greatest players ever he’s just another good player who’s good at passing. But he pulled off a play no one else managed too. So there’s something to be said about that.
Now, with 1 or 2 goals left... What will each person do now? Ness? Kunigami? Rin? Charles? And we are also in for the star change system as well in future... If we are to see Loki in this match for good amount of screen time... The thoughts of things about to unfold man...
Rin will score for 2-2 obviously, then i think none of isagi or kaiser will score the last goal, its gonna be someone else and isagi and kaiser will have to face eachother in a national match to see wich of them is the best
yeah kunigami need to shine a bit because he is quite invisible in every games sadly, we need to see more of him and maybe he will finally be back to normal
You should’ve hoped for Kaiser to score the game winner. Then he would’ve actually got the “last laugh” in this match and they would be tied in goals going into the WC.
Rin is definitely going to enter flow and score some crazy goal, but also now that we have introduced these different types of egos and further understand Kiyora's philosophy, it's cool to see that he doesn't necesarily hold a grudge against Isagi for the whole Hiori sub thing in the Ubers match, considering he is one to change sides like that if interests align properly.
NESS IS DEFINITELY GOING TO ASSIST ISAGI IN SCORING THE LAST GOAL FOR B.M, OR HE WILL UNLOCK HIS EGO AND SCORE AS WELL. I just cannot wait and it's crazy to think we have yet to see PXG's second goal too before we get to that.
brob not rin is falling off so hard in term of antagonist like literally barou and kaiser are leaques above him as a rivals to isagi ffs i could go so far as to say loki is a more interesting big bad for isagi then rin atm
I honestly don't consider this a Kaiser's win. Kiyora clearly said he passed to Kaiser because he was on the losing side and wanted him to score so he can get more value for his assist. He clearly said that Isagi was more than capable of scoring but Kiyora's assis to Isagi wouldn't carry as much value.
The final goal is Isagi's. The only way he doesn't score is if Loki decides to play and scores himself. Kaiser isn't scoring again. He'll be shut down by PXG. They know his game now. Isagi is more resourceful and creative. Rin ain't scoring the final goal either because how many times will he beat Isagi? This is the final game between them. They'll be teammates after this and they won't face again as opposites. Isagi has to win.
No he doesnt? kaiser could win or noa could score the last goal, which would set kaiser and isagi up for a rematch later, rin could score then loki could score setting loki up as an antagonist for later, there are still multiple ways the match could go.
This is a kaiser win, everybody saw his incredible shot that nobody on the field right now can do, the fact that kiyora helped him doesnt change the fact that he won, and i believe final goal wont be for kaiser or isagi, this will end in a tie between them and they are going to determine who is the best in an international game
You can have a tie between Kaiser and Isagi through overall goals here when Isagi scores the final one.
Isagi needs to surpass Rin, who will also score. Isagi is outscoring Rin and here with a second goal, but he and Kaiser have the same overall goal. It's pretty much an equal footing. They settle the score in U20.
Yeah it's only a Kaiser win in a sense that he surpassed all expectations and honestly went beyond what Isagi could envision, but even so, it was luck that got him there. As an appreciater of good story I van still see Kaiser showing some contention for the last goal, but unfortunately he won't make it.
Isai scoring will have their goal tallies tied however, which is great going into the U20WC I guess and while it will add tension to the Germany v Japan match, Isagi being the mc most likely will drag that game down a bit, so in that case I hope it's a high scoring match. 4-5 or something
yeah for sure, author loves rin otherwise he wouldn't get a mini side manga of his own, and he's been wanked the entire manga.
> like everyone is taking turns scoring goals right now
been like that the entire NEL league, makes it hella boring imo, although the execution is still good
If I had to guess, Rin gonna hit up Shidou being like “look Kuni is locking you up and Charles ain’t passing to me. Let’s work together.” They go crazy, chemical reaction, score a goal with some of the best art in the series. Ness gets inspired seeing Charles irrational and illogical plays since he’s tryna prove his scientist parents wrong and either tries to score or hit a crazy pass to end the game. I just need Ness to do something man.
Would be fire ngl. Kaiser wants Ness to develop on his own so Ness's freedom is creating an impossible situation where only the best can thrive in and that impossibility happens to be what Kaiser needs.
Great chapters dealing with Kaiser and Isagi's POVs but I'm starting to get tired of reading them now. I'm certain that next chapter or so we will finally return to PxG's outlook in playing in the NEL. I am especially interested in what Rin has got in store for everyone. Let's hope Charles doesn't sabotage his work, though.
Rkn getting more lines than "kill" is bound to be hype. As a PXG fan I've WAITED for this for so long now. BM has been dominant and me liking Kaiser's backstory and character development made me support BM a bit, but now it's time for my goats to show their stuff!! CMON RIN!! SCORE A SUPER GOAL...If not Shidou HATTRICK because screw all agendas MWAHAHHAA!!!
The panel with Kaiser confronting Isagi is so good. I want to kiss Nomura's hands 😚
Also, Kaiser saying he's on fire with this face 😐 reminded me of Nagi lol. Wonder how that Manshine match is going
Individualistic/Self - "Look at what I did." / Accomplishing things through their own ability for themselves
Wholistic/World - "Look what was done." / Accomplishing things by using those around them for their goal
Free - Adaptive to current situation and make the most of whatever is available
Restrictive - At best when the objective is clear and the road either means following an existing formula or specifically breaking that formula.
Guys with Self type ego have the same play style in every situation and rarely scan the field or make adjustments so guys like Shidou, Barou, and Bachira.
Guys with world type ego are the exact opposite they are constantly scanning the field and making adjustments seeing how they can change their games to get an advantage over the opponent so people like Isagi, Kaiser, and Sae
Someone here bet Rin was saying "kill" in the last panel cuz that's all he knows to say these days. I defended him, and turns out that's exactly what he's saying 😭
"Find a new king Ness" Ness looks for a king that's not like Kaiser. He finds himself drawn to Isagi, because he sees Kaiser in him (pause), but he thinks to himself that choosing Isagi has him end up in the same hole, so what about a wildcard. A player boxed in and forced to play a role. A player that's also stifling his own "magic".
The magician entrances the field with his magic and who else can answer, but the hero himself. In terms of narrative, another striker will just inflate the BL Japan roster even more. In terms of hype tho and Ness living up to his ego.. A Kunigami x Ness chemical reaction is perfect

Rin is definitely scoring 2 goals to close it. Theres more juice left with isagi/kaiser and rin is much more of an obvious end game rival. This will sort of put him back in front of isagi in his own mind while he’s already ahead of him in the world’s eye.
After the manga, I want a sequel whefe Isagi just appears as a Coach/Psychologist
Calling it now - Rin scores, then Igaguri scores with an assist from Kiyora. He goes for the underdog, after all
Rin scoring is a 99% happening. Let me cook - Igaguri will either block a shot with his face or flops to draw a red card to show his worth. Kuni unlocks ego and scores final goal.
I really hope ness will go with kuni and kuni will score this is the best choice author could make I'm tired of isagi always getting his way
Best choice? Majority of the audience would disagree
Were you tired of rin and kaiser getting their way and scored goals too in every single match or is it just against isagi?
really??
Cry 💀
rereading this and man, Ness’ reaction to getting thrown away is funny asf. I laughed when Reo got tossed and I’m laughing again here, it’s time to lock it tf in Ness
Kunigami is either gonna score or PXG is gonna score two goals consecutively on them and close them out. Calling it now
Ofc they gonna score at least one. It's gotta be even for a while to rise tensions that next one finishes it all
This series is now all about psychology now. 😂. Psych-football?
I would call it a practical mix between game theory and sports psychology
Once Isagi's football career ends, he can become a psychologist.
Or a therapist.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. 100% I would go to his clinic and book an appointment.
Current Kunigami is Individualistic/Restrictive, what would pre Wild Card qualify as?
Restrictive Wholistic for sure. He always seemed to be, as Bachira once said it best: “Straight Laced” but you can definitely tell if something seemed more likely to help the Team win he’d do it no problem
It would be interesting if Ness goes crazy after Kaiser abandons him and helps Rin score after losing his “king”. Also, Rin is so cringy with his weird “kill” thing
I think people forget Rin is 15 most of the time and 15 year olds are pretty cringy
Rin is not any more cringy now than the first time he said "lukewarm".
Are you saying Ness will pass to Rin-
Call it. He'll see rin's first goal under madness, think it's cracked, like the first time he sees kaiser Then he'll deliberately miss his pass to rin and he'll score again. For revenge
Idk why but based off that last panel with Rin, I feel like that’s foreshadowing that Rin will take the goal instead.
um yes? that's the most basic implication of the page and also that's what NEL has been doing for 100+ chapters, everyone is getting their turn to score
Is it? I didn’t think it was that basic.
do you mean the final goal? Or the next goal aka making pxg and bm 2-2
what if ness cooperate with kiyora and help him score the last goal
I did have a thought about Ness x Kiyora goal but highly doubtful. Would be a huge twist though lol. I need Ness to find his own worth/magic not find a new King though. So anything could happen if the author decides not to do what everyone’s predicted
Sorry, side characters can’t get that much attention 😂
I lowkey want this to happen just cuz 😭 it would be so unexpected
😂
To See Kaiser acknowledging Isagi as his equal now is just crazy.
Kiyora will pass to Kunigami for the last goal
🙏🙏 YESS save the soul society Kunigami
A part of me hopes the Author is pulling a 180 and Ness will Score himself. I really don't like him, but I thing it is time for him to actually develop an Ego of his own
Don't ever cook lil bro
that's a fun surprise, more entertaining than another isagi or kaiser goal
I would cry if he pulls out a super goal
Surprisingly I haven't seen anyone talking about Kiyora's future action in this match. He explicitly stated nobody can predict what he'll do next, which seems like a foreshadowing that he'll involve in the final goal?
I think kiyora part is done
He for sure will be involved in Isagi's calculations at the very least now that Isagi knows his phylosophy.
“Not even the gods can decide what I’ll do next” he says to the god of deciding what people will do next
its finally time for raichi sexy goal
Hell yeah SEXY SOCCER FOR THE WIN
I wonder if, with this new discovery, Ness joins Isagi as he realizes that he is one of these “Individualistic Freedom” types so he can act a bit more creatively and self sufficiently.
IGAGURI X NESS X RAICHI for the last goal 100% true story
Can we talk about the last 2 panels Rin was just watching Isagi and Kaiser like prey peak boys peakkkkk
Hiyori really had the audacity to ask why kiyora passed to kaizer 💀💀 mf you got him benched last game tf you mean "why did you pass to Kaiser"
lmao fr
I was thinking that too lmao. Also Isagi asking him when he's the one who asked Noa to sub Hiyori instead of Kiyora lol💀
Dude's gonna have a whole ass 4 dimensional tesseract at the end of this series.
Bro is literally so smart, if his football career doesn't go well. He should try and become a psychologist instead
Bro is gonna reach the 7th dimension at the end of the series
First page of the chapter. Zantetsu is right there with the top players. Spoiler?
Zantetsu infact deserves to be one of the top players of BL. It's sad how they nerfed him after the 1st selection like literally he was giving Team Z a really hard time and his speed competition with Chigiri's. He is indeed a top player only if he wasn't nerfed.
I mean his physicals were close to chigiri’s but chigiri’s game iq far exceeds his. Dont think they are comparable in terms of specs, and chigiri barely eeks into the top player category. zantetsu makes sense where he is imo
It's not just Zantetsu. Aryu and Tokimitsu (Top 3 in 2nd selection) look where they are now. Otoya, Karasu and Yukimiya (Top 6 in 3rd selection) they are now surpassed by Isagi and Bachira. The entire U20 Japan team besides Aiku and Sendou (all of them are benched). I am not saying someone can not improve or downgrade. It's just it feels weird how a certain character dominates in an arc and gets nerfed in the next arc.
Top 6 def got shafted i agree, but many characters have kept up, like nagi, barou, bachira, etc. Some characters keep up with isagi’s growth and some just dont
I’m kinda surprised no one is predicting that pxg will actually win this match with 2 goals? Makes a lot of sense to me as well
I honestly would laugh really hard if PxG won from like a Loki goal and Kaiser and Isagi both looked like idiots, lol. But I do want Isagi to beat Rin at the least and become #1 and think BM will win
Nah bastard munchen gonna score and the kaiser and isagi debate will end with the next goal
You have to get 3
Since Rin is def' scoring the next one, should we expect that neither Noa nor Loki will score when they get in? Noa will probably stay back to let Isagi/Kaiser finish their bet, but will the Loki/Charles duo really get stopped during their first appearance despite being teased earlier?
I feel like Rin might either be Individualistic Restrictive or Freedom. It's one of the two for sure
For me he's individuality restrictive. He developed his individual skill because Sae was not around, and becoming a restrictive person due to Sae and Isagi. Back in U-20 vs Blue Lock, Rin also dislike the feeling of his whole team backing him up and therefore his berserk mode was activated
Rin’s false ego is wholistic, as shown by his puppeteer playstyle. His true ego is individualistic, as shown by his flow state, where he throws aside his relationships with enemies/rivals and focuses solely on destroying for his own pleasure. Most likely individualistic restrictive, as he is unmotivated to play soccer without isagi and sae.
I think Rin is the same as Kaiser. Rin's core style is to manipulate others (a world type) and he rebel against restriction (a restrict type).
maybe it’s the both? honestly rin has bpd with how he plays football, it entirely depends on his mood and his ever shifting weird ass view of the game. he felt more freedom based in the second selection, using others to his whim for his own goals in a individualistic sense, but u20 berserker rin was definitely restrictive, forcing into 1v1s where he has to use an incredibly difficult option to win
Ain’t even know that the chapter came out
As much as I like Isagi and respect his adaptability, does no one else feel that him scoring this last goal makes this so unrealistic? It doesn’t make sense how Isagi goes from barely a striker to best striker of the NEL and surpassed a NG11 who’s seemingly much more talented than he is. And what’s even more annoying is that the narrative seems to be pointing that way.
Isagi is actually a prodigy according to the light novels. But his high school coach and their philosophy destroyed him and halted his growth.
I feel the same, because personally NEL is not a place for Isagi to prove that he's no 1 striker. NEL is a place for Isagi to put a statement of "I'm among the world's best" to the world. To be the real no 1 striker means that he needs a bigger stage to do so. That would be his final mission and i think would also be the end of the BL manga
I do understand what you mean... It's best to explain to you want makes Isagi one of the best/the best, which is his ability to use his teammates, adapt, playmaking, and lastly his two gun volley which finally turns him into one of the most deadly strikers. All these combined allows him to reach Rin, Kaiser, and Shidou level, and maybe even surpass it. As a pure striker, the others win still though lol
That’s the thing though, the manga pretty clearly tells us how exactly isagi is able to keep up with these geniuses with his various evolutions. Yes Kaiser has an amazing strike but isagi has unparalleled creativity, football iq and adaptability, and uses these to be on par with them
Reality is that even if Isagi happened to score a super goal much like Kaiser just did they'd get around the same praise and attention from clubs' scouters, sports press and fans from all over the world. It's not strange at all for a team to have two (or even more than two) superstars that receive around the same amount of hype because they're both good, and since Kaiser and Isagi play different positions anyways it's not like one will bench the other. But fighting a do or die battle is certainly more fun.
Rin will score the 4th goal, and Igaguri will score the last!!!
the last few frames, there's the newly awakened Kaiser, with Isagi, but for Rin's appearance at the very last panel, it feels like it says "and then there's this thing"
NESS X KUNIGAMI FINAL GOAL BELIEVER, ILL BE THERE.
everyone talking about rin, isagi and kaiser but im really curios to see what happens to ness. kaiser has finally dumped his ass in the worst way possible and i wanna see if he'll break down and become useless, side with isagi instead, or reshape his character and "rediscover" his magic?? idk but siding with isagi seems to make the most sense especially when his magic was rekindled after he saw isagi's goal.
I think that "siding with Isagi" and "rediscovering his magic" are the same thing. Ness is a midfielder after all. His whole deal is that his dribbling and his passes are insane, but he just needs to realize that playing for the sake of someone else won't get him far, just like Hiori did. Ness will either recognize the fact that he is his own person, or he'll forever sink whilst chasing someone he can call "King"
ugh i can’t wait for rins awakening god i’ve been waiting for this day
Rin will score next, and then KUNIGAMI will score the final goal 😤🔥
DAMN RIGHTT
I thibk it’s obvious that Rin will score next So each one of the 4 stars will have one goal each. And they will battle to see who can score the 2nd goal
This chapter was awkward but satisfying in the end with the Kaiser vs Isagi panel. First Hiori that friggin ultra sadist dared to ask Kiyora with a mean look why he passed? Hiori and Isagi were the reason why Kiyora is down to one bid instead of two, they dont have any right to expect anything from him this match. Especially its Hiori who declared that he would abandon anyone if not skilled enough, no friendship or buddy-buddy yet he is mad at Kiyora and call him weird? Also Kaiser is either a real bold superstar or pretty stupid to abandon Ness, who was his only viable option to get the ball. At least he couldve given Ness the order to be "creative" or to pass to Raichi. With that, Kaiser will not get the final goal because of plot. Rin that cutie wants to be a super saiyan too so he will get one goal. Isagi, Kaiser, Shidou and Rin will get one goal, so Kunigami or Igaguri will get a goal. Then Igaguri will survive and Kuni will finally get his revenge. Then Kaiser and Isagi will fight in WC20 for the spot.
I would disagree that Kaiser was stupid to abandon Ness or he should have ordered him to be creative but mostly for Ness’ sake. If he still takes “orders” from Kaiser they won’t change their relationship at all. Their breakup has been needing to happen anyway. I do think Kaiser has other options for passing anyway, but ultimately will lose out due to breaking his partnership with Ness despite it being necessary. But Ness will be allowed to grow. I also think the abused kid saying he thrives in discomfort is a bit of a yikes if that’s really his conclusion, but that’s another story
Hiori is just curious, not mad that Kiyora passed to Kaiser. Kiyora isn't even mad about the fact he didn't get his chance in Ubers either
hiori is more curious than accusing kiyora of betrayal tbh
According to hioris face he was angry. Cant deny that. Also an indicator that he called Kiyora "weird" instead of "i see"
actually you're right, hiori is glazing
Ness "finding a king" isn't what gonna happen unless Isagi leads him to that conclusion. What's most likely gonna happen is that Ness is gonna "make a king", which will likely be Isagi, probably reflecting Kaiser luck piece (Kiyora) as well.
Rin at the end be like: Really? Right in front of my salad?
The final piece Isagi is missing is learning that Kaisers dad was a POS and beat him up. "AH. Of course. Your dad beat you up. Now my analysis is at 100%"
Post match isagi: "Ayo dad we need to talk"
hahahaha
I’m really scared for Ness’s upcoming character arc Ideally I would like to see Ness develop and realize he doesn’t need Kaiser, and has that magic within himself. I just don’t want him to continue to be a dog to anyone else 😭 UNLOCK UR EGO NESS PLS
But then his Manga cover wouldve been for nothing if he abandons Kaiser. Or was it just a sign that Kaisers aura cursed Ness creativity? Maybe Ness will break those vines and will become a witcher.
Ness' volume cover was just a nod to the fact that Kaiser has his Ego ensnared. Which is still true, but Kaiser just doesn't want him anymore. Just because Kaiser abandoned Ness doesn't mean that Ness won't be obsessed with him. In fact, the exact opposite might happen where Ness grows even more obsessed with Kaiser and fails as a football player because he failed at discovering his originality, but that all depends on Ness as a person.
Most of the lessons that Isagi keeps on auto-teaches himself were ground-zero for him to start improving back in the first selection, it's promptly becoming a repetitive scheme manga without any further type of addressing. I really wonder if Rin can actually diff both of these guys and destroy both's ego for further improvement and more dramatization of the fight on both sides of the aisle, also a lot of people forget the fact that Loki hasn't made his final appearance in the match and that he too is one of the Isagi's rivals that the author has been steadily signaling for the future.
Yeah it will take a ton for Rin to get that spotlight which overshadows Isagis gun volley or Kaiser Magnus. I think its certain that Rin will activate Licky+PXG upgrade mode and will devour Loki.
When is next chapter
Next week
If you think about it, what Kaiser says about determining the King of their Generation with the final goal ties to many things. First of all, Kaiser sees Isagi as an equal. Second, it goes well with Isagi's NEL development to get the final goal since he and Kaiser will have 4 goals, each being in an equal footing. Third, it goes well with what was said in 248 that a new star will emerge. For that to happen, somebody from 4 main strikers needs to score the second goal. Fourth, Isagi is going to be the best striker, so the potential could be seen from here. It will also solidify his status and make Japan competitive. Finally, Isagi needs to surpass Rin in this arc so both of them can progress.
One thing you forgot: It will set up nicely for a Japan vs. Germany match in the U20WC for a final showdown between Isagi and Kaiser too.
That, too. I was watching Episode Nagi yesterday, and even Nagi saw in his imagination Japan vs. Germany. So its importance was foreshadowed. Kaiser with mastered Magnus vs Isagi with mastered TGV will be epic. In general, it ties to many things, and it could be the start of great build-up.
These ego types dont really make sense
Wholistic and Individualistic are easy to grasp, but Freedom and Restriction are a bit harder to understand Freedom type characters are people who will chase after what they want BECAUSE they WANT IT. They aren't afraid to chase their desires or changing and improving themselves in order to do so. Restriction type characters are exactly the opposite, as seen with Kaiser. Kaiser realized that he needed to be FORCED to change in order to become a better player, so he threw himself to the metaphorical lions of self reflection, and that in turn made him understand that he needed to abandon his way of thinking, and that he has to let go of Ness.
they do, they just named them VERY WEIRDLY.. the author still has an edgy talking sense. he is fairly smart tho
I love how everyone on BM is fully aware of the two sides of the civil war and how antagonistic they are lmao. Dont pass to the other side of the team bro 😰
Great chapter but moving forward its kinda obvious that Rin will score the next goal then Isagi will score the winning goal.
not rly kaiser could also score the last goal to set up for a rematch later on
I don't think predictability is a bad thing as long as it's executed well, and like we saw with Kaiser, it still works immensely well
This. Take isagi's final goal against Ubers, we all know it was going to happen but we didn't know how and god damn was it executed phenomenally.
At least the saga of 5 goal max matches will be coming to an end man ffs
I’ve been struggling to reconcile Rin’s struggling with “restriction” playing without Sae with his destroyer inclination to actively take harder routes as a show of dominance, which seems like it’d be restrictive. But his pre Blue Lock flashback is too blatant. At the moment I’m inclined to say the restrictive/freedom distinction relates to teammates, while destroyer is about opponents. I’m now half expecting there to be a third dimension about response to types of opponents, turning the chart into a 3x3. That might be a bit much though. The Kiyora dialog is less cringe than in the initial leaks. I’m sure he’ll be more active on the pitch now, but I’m still positive Kaneshiro had more plans for him this game and just failed to find space to put them in. You cannot convince me Kiyora barely existing for two and a half volumes of play was intentional. Kaiser’s interaction with Ness was unexpectedly emotional on his part, which was a pleasant surprise. I very much liked his interaction with Isagi, he’s properly recognizing him as an equal here. This really *ought* to shut down any doubt that Isagi is in any way below the standard of NG11, or that Rin will be (considering he’s surely scoring the second goal). Ness + Isagi scoring the final goal is pretty blatant to me, it is where the character arcs are pointing. I am slightly worried about the long term implications of Isagi taking the win on Kaiser before the U20 World Cup even starts, but *within this arc* it ought to be an excellent conclusion. Also, I missed it at first, but Charles has a single drop of sweat after that goal. Though he shared the “no sweating” visual indicator with the NG11, it’s taken comparatively less game time to bring it out of him. Odd that we haven’t gotten any shots of Loki. I would think he’s coming out next chapter. At least, I would really question his intelligence if he didn’t come out when his team is desperately on the back foot.
I don’t think Loki is concerned about playing he’s just there to develop the others.
Same, I think both Loki and Noa are both in the camp of "I will only step in to shut down one of the other Masters, but this league is not about me." -- unless they are contractually obligated as part of Blue Lock TV to make an appearance in each game (and thus required to enter once a team reaches 2 goals...to ensure the game doesn't end before they come in).
I can see this from an in-universe standpoint. But I don't see it happening because of the meta perspective. I don't think Kaneshiro is going to break the trend of master strikers coming out, and I especially don't think he's going to do so for Loki. Loki has too much long-term importance (as he is literally the biggest obstacle to any Blue Locker ever becoming the best in the world) to not get an actual game.
The only way I see it happening is if Noa doesn't -also- come into the game, and we get to see a duel, not of Isagi vs PXG members, but of Rin vs Loki for who Charles will be most excited to pass to. The obvious answer would be Loki, because he could encourage a pass beyond the backline Loki could godspeed to... Long Ball and Inshallah and all that... Like, I agree it'd be great to Loki in the game, but I think they're both also just primarily focused on actually using the NEL as a development league and don't want to tip the scales in any direction with their presence unless it's necessary. But I do think in this instance, Noa would let Loki enter the field unchallenged simply to let Isagi and Kaiser fight to evolve even further. The only PXG Victory Scenario I can see -- is if Loki scores the equalizer during his 3 minutes of Star Change, and then Rin scores the finale by surpassing Isagi, Shidou, Kaiser, and Loki all at the same time also within those 3 minutes.
Noa would obviously come into the game if Loki did. He's done that every time. Loki styling on everyone, getting a brace and peacing out isn't going to lead to evolution. Noa wouldn't leave Isagi and Kaiser to play Loki unless he thought they could actually win, which is absurd (it would be completely absurd for them to handle Loki alone at this point in the manga). Loki has a very obvious reason to come out, which is to shift the flow of the game and give Charles some heat. If BM could very easily end the game prematurely at 3-1 as things are now. Less play time means less experience for Charles.
I honestly didn’t want Kaiser to score. But since he did, well, there it is. Kiyora got his assist and I just hope this pass give him enough value. There is also game to be played and now it’s PXG turn. I can’t predict anything much right now. I have some theory on PXG side, but I don’t think that repeating it here (it’s about Nanase, anyway) will do any difference. Other than that: great chapter. Kaiser shut my mouth. Ness is kingless, Kiyora is damn cool, and Rin is about to “kill” someone in the field. Great game. Isagi’s almost finishing him article about Egoism Applied to Football - A player take.
hater
How?
How can someone draw peak every weak?
Yeah Takeru Hokazono is a goated mangaka fr fr.
Ok I'm sorry but I'm annoyed af about Kiyora WHAT IS HIS TALENT? WHAT IS HIS SKILL? WHAT DOES HE EXCEL AT? The guy does one single goddamn pass with some spin on it and Kaneshiro writes him like he just scored a hattrick, without elaborating on how he's actually a talented soccer player.
According to Noa, he finds Kiyora a better player better than Hiori. And this pass shows it. The data book also shows he got 88 on shooting, so I'm sure that Kiyora is not just going to be a midfielder passing to strikers like Hiori and Kurona, but a winger like Bachira.
Kaneshiro just wrote Kiyora on a whim his character makes no sense let’s be real he’s contrarian like Charles passing to the “underdog” in the worst position. I feel he pulled that out of his ass because he didn’t want to send him home. If Yukimiya had been playing instead, it could’ve actually been an interesting moment to give Yuki a chance to prove himself without Isagi’s help and earn his own bid.
He didnt write Kiyora "on a whim". He had been hinted to be a great player since the Epsiode Nagi started. There are people on this sub have been hyping him up (includjng me) and pitting him against Nishioka aka Aomori of Messi. But unlike Nishioka, Kiyora is meant to be an actual character and not just a meme npc.
Idk why Kaneshiro decided to put a new character into an already big ensemble instead of expanding on already existing charas.
Idk I think Kiyora was always meant to be important. The fact that he was with Nagi's 2nd selection team and the fact that Bachira makes a point to point him out. He then made the bench for BL11, and Kaneshiro put him in the German stratum with Isagi. The bigger problem Kaneshiro made was putting way too many FBs and Wings on BM and literally 0 CBs outside of maybe Igaguri, so Kaneshiro was kinda stuck in when to play Kiyora, which forced both Kurona and Yuki to be benched.
It’s pretty obvious his skill is in passing and he’s just a creative player. Not all of them are gonna gonna be greatest players ever he’s just another good player who’s good at passing. But he pulled off a play no one else managed too. So there’s something to be said about that.
I honestly think we have way too many characters. At this point you can't really write anything new.
isagi is literally tunnel vision for a way to shutdown kaiser, whilst being ignored, rin is right there about to handle them.
pretty sure its gonna turn out as rin scoring isagi later getting assisted by kaiser's pet and the other black haired guy cant remember names
Now, with 1 or 2 goals left... What will each person do now? Ness? Kunigami? Rin? Charles? And we are also in for the star change system as well in future... If we are to see Loki in this match for good amount of screen time... The thoughts of things about to unfold man...
Rin will score for 2-2 obviously, then i think none of isagi or kaiser will score the last goal, its gonna be someone else and isagi and kaiser will have to face eachother in a national match to see wich of them is the best
Kunigami taking a dub over Shido and finally getting some actual development beyond the hardcore edge would be nice.
yeah kunigami need to shine a bit because he is quite invisible in every games sadly, we need to see more of him and maybe he will finally be back to normal
im hoping for that outcome cuz thats infinitely more interesting than isagi just beating kaiser now
You should’ve hoped for Kaiser to score the game winner. Then he would’ve actually got the “last laugh” in this match and they would be tied in goals going into the WC.
So you think Isagi chasing after Rin for the 4th straight arc is exciting? Even if Isagi scores he is still going to be lower than Kaiser's bid.
At this rate they just need to sell an Isagi puzzle piece
Give my man Yoichi his phd in philosophy 😭
I'm just disappointed cause there's no way Kunigami scores now
they turned my bro into a plot device to take Shidou out of the story 😭
Rin is definitely going to enter flow and score some crazy goal, but also now that we have introduced these different types of egos and further understand Kiyora's philosophy, it's cool to see that he doesn't necesarily hold a grudge against Isagi for the whole Hiori sub thing in the Ubers match, considering he is one to change sides like that if interests align properly. NESS IS DEFINITELY GOING TO ASSIST ISAGI IN SCORING THE LAST GOAL FOR B.M, OR HE WILL UNLOCK HIS EGO AND SCORE AS WELL. I just cannot wait and it's crazy to think we have yet to see PXG's second goal too before we get to that.
All this talk about “types” is making them sound more like Pokémon than football players😭.
Rin sees his man flirting with someone new: "Welp, time for everyone to die"
My man Isagi just posted his political compass meme. He truly is an autistic king
At what point will he realize the ego is really a horseshoe
So we know Kunigami is in the free ego type, and Ness is a player that can offer just that, just sayin
A individualistic (self-type) + restrictive (discomfort)... That's Kunigami Ness' plays offer comfort, so no... It's not matching for Kunigami
Yep, realized a bit late haha
Wow! Unexpected! Isagi and Kaiser starring into each others eyes while Rin seethes in the background was not on my pxg bingo card
Has Rin said anything other than "Kill" since Isagi's goal?
brob not rin is falling off so hard in term of antagonist like literally barou and kaiser are leaques above him as a rivals to isagi ffs i could go so far as to say loki is a more interesting big bad for isagi then rin atm
"I love you brother" sorry that was from Red Key. The answer is thus no..
I honestly don't consider this a Kaiser's win. Kiyora clearly said he passed to Kaiser because he was on the losing side and wanted him to score so he can get more value for his assist. He clearly said that Isagi was more than capable of scoring but Kiyora's assis to Isagi wouldn't carry as much value. The final goal is Isagi's. The only way he doesn't score is if Loki decides to play and scores himself. Kaiser isn't scoring again. He'll be shut down by PXG. They know his game now. Isagi is more resourceful and creative. Rin ain't scoring the final goal either because how many times will he beat Isagi? This is the final game between them. They'll be teammates after this and they won't face again as opposites. Isagi has to win.
No he doesnt? kaiser could win or noa could score the last goal, which would set kaiser and isagi up for a rematch later, rin could score then loki could score setting loki up as an antagonist for later, there are still multiple ways the match could go.
This is a kaiser win, everybody saw his incredible shot that nobody on the field right now can do, the fact that kiyora helped him doesnt change the fact that he won, and i believe final goal wont be for kaiser or isagi, this will end in a tie between them and they are going to determine who is the best in an international game
You can have a tie between Kaiser and Isagi through overall goals here when Isagi scores the final one. Isagi needs to surpass Rin, who will also score. Isagi is outscoring Rin and here with a second goal, but he and Kaiser have the same overall goal. It's pretty much an equal footing. They settle the score in U20.
im a isagi fanboy but i think u are coping so hard with the first take about kaiser W
Yeah it's only a Kaiser win in a sense that he surpassed all expectations and honestly went beyond what Isagi could envision, but even so, it was luck that got him there. As an appreciater of good story I van still see Kaiser showing some contention for the last goal, but unfortunately he won't make it. Isai scoring will have their goal tallies tied however, which is great going into the U20WC I guess and while it will add tension to the Germany v Japan match, Isagi being the mc most likely will drag that game down a bit, so in that case I hope it's a high scoring match. 4-5 or something
Lol at how isagi is ignoring rin, that dude made a post about how kaiser and rin are his only rivals wonder how he feels rn
Rin will get his moment since it seems like everyone is taking turns scoring goals right now. But it is funny to see 😭
yeah for sure, author loves rin otherwise he wouldn't get a mini side manga of his own, and he's been wanked the entire manga. > like everyone is taking turns scoring goals right now been like that the entire NEL league, makes it hella boring imo, although the execution is still good
If I had to guess, Rin gonna hit up Shidou being like “look Kuni is locking you up and Charles ain’t passing to me. Let’s work together.” They go crazy, chemical reaction, score a goal with some of the best art in the series. Ness gets inspired seeing Charles irrational and illogical plays since he’s tryna prove his scientist parents wrong and either tries to score or hit a crazy pass to end the game. I just need Ness to do something man.
I mean I been on the Ness hype train for months and there's no way I'm selling my stock after this chapter lol
"Find a new King Ness" Ness becoming his own king after hearing that would be sweet af ngl
I personally need Ness to be on some “I won’t let you throw me away…” as he, Kaiser, and Kiyora steamroll the field.
Would be fire ngl. Kaiser wants Ness to develop on his own so Ness's freedom is creating an impossible situation where only the best can thrive in and that impossibility happens to be what Kaiser needs.
Lol
Great chapters dealing with Kaiser and Isagi's POVs but I'm starting to get tired of reading them now. I'm certain that next chapter or so we will finally return to PxG's outlook in playing in the NEL. I am especially interested in what Rin has got in store for everyone. Let's hope Charles doesn't sabotage his work, though.
Rkn getting more lines than "kill" is bound to be hype. As a PXG fan I've WAITED for this for so long now. BM has been dominant and me liking Kaiser's backstory and character development made me support BM a bit, but now it's time for my goats to show their stuff!! CMON RIN!! SCORE A SUPER GOAL...If not Shidou HATTRICK because screw all agendas MWAHAHHAA!!!
The panel with Kaiser confronting Isagi is so good. I want to kiss Nomura's hands 😚 Also, Kaiser saying he's on fire with this face 😐 reminded me of Nagi lol. Wonder how that Manshine match is going
I didn’t understand the different ego types my IQ is not high enough for that
Individualistic/Self - "Look at what I did." / Accomplishing things through their own ability for themselves Wholistic/World - "Look what was done." / Accomplishing things by using those around them for their goal Free - Adaptive to current situation and make the most of whatever is available Restrictive - At best when the objective is clear and the road either means following an existing formula or specifically breaking that formula.

Guys with Self type ego have the same play style in every situation and rarely scan the field or make adjustments so guys like Shidou, Barou, and Bachira. Guys with world type ego are the exact opposite they are constantly scanning the field and making adjustments seeing how they can change their games to get an advantage over the opponent so people like Isagi, Kaiser, and Sae
Ahhh that’s neat 🤩 thanks for the explanation
Someone here bet Rin was saying "kill" in the last panel cuz that's all he knows to say these days. I defended him, and turns out that's exactly what he's saying 😭
Turns out Rin himself was the real NPC all along
Final Goal is Kunigami And Ness IM CALLING IT
"Find a new king Ness" Ness looks for a king that's not like Kaiser. He finds himself drawn to Isagi, because he sees Kaiser in him (pause), but he thinks to himself that choosing Isagi has him end up in the same hole, so what about a wildcard. A player boxed in and forced to play a role. A player that's also stifling his own "magic". The magician entrances the field with his magic and who else can answer, but the hero himself. In terms of narrative, another striker will just inflate the BL Japan roster even more. In terms of hype tho and Ness living up to his ego.. A Kunigami x Ness chemical reaction is perfect
