@@hectorpuente3040 fr, if Raichi can mark Snuffy like that, we NEED him for the World Cup so he can mark other threats. Although I'm not worried about Raichi, he's been playing really good this game. He snatched the ball away from RIN, cooked Tokimitsu, and contributed to both Isagi and Kaiser's goals(maybe he'll contribute to third goal). So far, Raichi def has to get at LEAST a 10 mil increase for his performance so far. (I also had a dream bro survived, ranking 21 so imma be hella hyped if I predicted that lol)
@@SkibidiPapinhostill nothing without his destroyer Isagi /barou are above him without that mode it's a fact Noa literally said to isagi that the ranking are not the ultimate true. Nagi was second after the mashine match even though isagi was better him and bachira also Aryu is ahead of niko when in the ubers game Niko is clearly better him Hiori isn't even top 20 in ranking when we all know that he is ez in the top 10 in NEL in term of power and performance Shidou got an amazing bid increase for 2 goal against the Weakest team in the NEL and he is still in the position where he can't even get rid of kuni who isn't even a real defender Bachira is above him for sure and we can even add some Chara like chigiri or kuni
The worst nerf till this day is Yukimiya who was presented as a top 5-6 player and now he’s just an Isagi lacky when he was literally titled the 1 on 1 emperor
Tokimitsu has going to the gym as a hobby but got beaten by kurona who has never trained or even had a average physique But he did the same thing to manshine chigiri so kurona is underrated in 1v1 duels
@@GuestGuest-h4y Tokimitsu is complete is everything physical. He got the stamina to keep going for a longer time than anyone, the strength to keep marking other players and speed to catch up to them quickly if he gets bested.
Well anyone with a smudge of brain can tell you that ubers vs bzstard was completely Bs and plot driven at the end Ubers lost purely based on plot , that’s it
I hope they say that stamina had a thing there, like Lorenzo is a good defender but only for the first half of the match, then because of his physique he gets tired, that would make "stamina based players" more important
@@valentinlopezmunoz8269 and that would be more of a bs for a new gen world 11 players ,…. The stamina based player are some like kurona, chigiri, yukimiya and stuff
Zantetsu had great acceleration, good dribbles, good physique and a golden zone in SELECTION 1. He goes to a team with a master striker with an upgraded version of his abilities and doesn’t do anything . No way.
Well yes way because by the look of it just like Noa , Loki didn’t teach them shit or aid them in any kind of way training wise unlike Ubers and manshine
Nagi's downfall isn't really a nerf. It's only the realisation of Ego's prediction. Ego predicted that Nagi is too talented and he is scoring fluke goals that he won't be able to retaliate and won't be able to recreate to score in every game. That is why he isn't scoring anymore
I love the vid, very interesting concept, and yeah I 100% agree with everything you said, especially with Otoya and Yukimiya I think at this point Sendou is overall a more valuable and versatile player than both of them, they all have 1 goal in the NeL, sure Otoya and Yuki are probably better 1v1 but Sendou is the better support player and overall player, besides that with Toki and Zantestu I just wish they got their development just like you said and I think they are all below Yuki, Otoya and Sendou but I’m still holding out hope for Zantestu with the cover art, and Nagi is good, I agree with you and love what they are doing with him, I just don’t want his bid to pass Bachira’s😭, Bachira deserves top 5 man😭😭😭
CLASSIC BLUECYCLONE W ‼️‼️ i agree with your takes, honestly speaking sendou is one of the more underrated characters esp with him ACTUALLY scoring goals, while providing good value as a support player
@@Hirryoo yes yes exactly, why I prefer him over Kurona on a U-20 team, sure he’s slower than Kurona and his short passes are slightly worse, but his shooting, Game IQ, Long Passes and Defense are all better than Kurona so I’d pick him over Kurona😎😎😎
Yujimiya is my dark horse. He's full of missed potential tho. His street soccer and gyro shots could make him stand out from players like Bachira but he need more page time to flesh those out. Honestly I hope he makes a pseudo "Kaiser Impact M." Of his own for the next arc to keep him as a contender.
So, while you could justly call it cope, I think there are explanations you could use: Tokimitsu - dude has a nerves issue and worsens under pressure. Also, stamina is his golden ticket, and due to the NEL unlimited subs rule it makes that almost useless. Nagi - Obviously he'll be back. Totally plot business. Shidou - I honestly don't think Shidou has lost any of his base skill, it's just that goals are his passion. Sure he can do the other stuff (especially against weaker opponents), but it doesn't satisfy him that much, so why not leave it to those who excel at it professionally and then reap the benefits? I dunno, I also just don't see the skill gap you mentioned. Otoya - I think his off-ball abilities work especially well when others cooperate with him. Unfortunately, the higher in Blue Lock you climb, the more self-centred/independant egos become. Also, the U20s were defence focuses team opposed to Blue Lock, so they would be more mindful of his ninja abilities than those in Blue Lock. But he IS still scoring in the NEL, which makes me suspect the ninja might stay in the shadows of the story until a critical moment in the future. Zantetsu - Yeah... I got barely anything for Zantetsu. I dunno if I'd call him worse so much as absent. Dude just needs to do something. Yukimiya - Simple, he isn't nerfed, he just already got his character focused match in the NEL. Only so much page time to go around (what most of these characters suffer from tbh).
The thing with Nagi is that he isn’t nerfed it’s just that he’s so good he ends up doing things that he can’t recreate just cuz he was that locked in leading to his ranking being inflated so badly he suffers for it
I think that the problem with tokimitsu is in his head because he can be overwhelmed by better players in the team and the fear and pressure combined with his character result in his brother playing not at his level, maybe he will give more of himself when during the match he realizes that if If I continue like this, I will fall outside the top 23
To be fair Raichi and Tokimitsu kind of share abilities. I'm still holding out hope that the two get to be MVPs during the late stages of the game when everyone but them is extremely tired from exerting themselves. Also I don't want to see Tokimitsu go yet. He's actually one of the more relevant character's with no real development and or backstory, just like characters such as Aryu. Only real difference bring that Aryu gets to pop off and show his stuff during matches.
Imo its just the fact he’s getting man marked, in blue lock being man marked by a capable defender almost always shuts them down. Shidou only gets stopped by people whose entire role is to stop him
Shidou has been nerfed to an insane degree. It feels like the author forgot about him until the PXG match. Like how is it possible the player who scored the second most goals in the second selection and had the best performance during the U-20 match, has only 4 goals?
4 goals in 4 matches... Bro thinks we're playing basket ball Its 4 goals out of a possible 12 in a team with the actual best U20 Striker, Rin Also in the U20 match, he was being carried by Sae. Its not a nerf, Shidou was never as good as you thought he was
@malcolmedong8017 I didn't say he wasn't good. I said he's not *AS* good as people were making out. He's good, not that good. The very fact that there are some people who think he had the best performance in the U20 game shows how overrated he was. One of the best players? Sure. Not the best though
zantetsus one is funny ngl, he had chigiris 45 degree shot much before like in the first selection, but somehow he has forgotten how to use it whereas it has become chigiris main weapon
the beauty of bluelock is the fluidity of power levels between players, even if it means the meta only involved a handful of characters; Igarashi stock is rising btw
i think most of y'all forgot that this arc was mainly made for isagi to finally get on the level of the monsters he has been with the whole series so it makes sense that a lot of side charcaters were reduced to basically nothing.
about nagi i dotn think he is nerfed per se. Nagi was insane BECAUSE of isagi, now that nagi doesnt have isagi he had to find his own way, which he is doing currently with reo. obviously reo isnt as good as isagi, so it looks like nagi isnt improving BUT he is just not as much as the other monsters. Very excited to see nagi's growth in the future
I dont understand shidous nerf. Maybe this is because he's my favourite character but i thought the whole point of his character initially was that he was too good for blue lock. No one could challenge him in a meaningful way and bring out a chemical reaction for his growth. Its due to his insane performance that he was scouted by friggin itoshi sae himself and we saw when shidou is in the flow state hes capable of performing impossible goals that go beyond his normal shooting range of being in the box. The neo soccer league seemed like the perfect opportunity for him to final have a challenge and develop if anything were to happen (now being faced with and taught by world class strikers). But all of a sudden his performance is way worse than it was in the u20 match and he goes from being the genius who can score from any position in the box to a striker that can ONLY score in the box and it isnt guaranteed. Honestly i just wish he wasnt on the same team as rin because i feel all the focus given to rin on PXG as rightfully the protagonists rival n stuff means that theres no opportunity to explore shidou as a character. Shidou and isagi dont have a relationship or rivalry whatsoever which means in the story thats ultimately from isagi's point of view the focus will always be on people isagi wants to beat. Shidou feels like just an annoyance on the pitch for all the more important strikers and thats painful to see
Shidou didnt get nerf its more like he didnt get better like at all... like how Rin and Isagi both got ramped up.. Shidou has a superior physical ability which he used to get off against Reo but with Kunigami who has a better physical ability he cant use something against him like his acceleration. As for Otoya what he needed was a buff i think the only reason he was number 4 was because he got paired up with Karasu his only gimmick is like Off the ball movement and swift speed. I even feel like Otoya is inferior to Yukimiya, Barou, and Bachira on U20.
So many players here would have probably been way better had they gone to teams that actually made sense. Ik the author set the NEL up for specific matches to happen between characters, but there is no reason why nagi or karasu wouldn’t have gone to snuffy or tokimitsu to Chris for example
Shidou is fine to call nerfed. Though I do think he's going to get a back story and evolve further later on at some point or other. Maybe not in this match but certainly some other time.
The problem with the current system of Blue Lock that doesn't allow for mistakes to happen is that some players would appear nerfed or buffed depending on the plot. I don't like it, honestly. Mistakes also happen in football and there's nothing wrong in failing.
When you say "Tokimitsu was nerfed by his weapons but Nagi was nerfed by his mental state" i kinda disagree. For me, Tokimitsu's downfall is perfectly logic, he is a player with weapons but absolutely no confidence. That goes against Blue Lock logic and the main point of the show. You are supposed to be better by being absorbed in your own potential, but Tokimitsu just doesn't seem to be able to do that. So yeah, his skills were really good, but he is the embodiment of a "failed genius" described by Ego, someone who doesn't know where his skills come from, who can't improve and doesn't have the mental capability to overcome adversity. For me Tokimitsu was nerfed FROM THE BEGINNING by his mental state. Only if he managed to overcome his fear or using it to develop frustration and see that the frustration could make him go higher, only at this moment he could have improved. But did Tokimitsu really improved during the serie? Nah. So for me it's perfectly logic that he is not doing great right now.
They were more rough with Tokimitsu to be fair when their matching up with him. I still think he is better than Raichi but I think he's more of better nanase then Raichi basing off how rin used him in his fight against isagi before. Nagi just needs to fix his ego/mentality and learn to turn on and off his creativity even if wants to be lazy off game. He can already score constant super/miracle goals with reo or atleast have a skill/talent to pull them off. Shidou was just hard countered by kunigami who is also able to jump and match his physique well. He also has good enough speed to match shidou explosive speed off the ball. Otoya was genuinely nerfed lol. He was basically isagi/naruhaya off the ball movement on steroids, he can get pass probably all defenders without them noticing if he dosent have the ball. For Zantetsu I think he can still comeback if he could use his explosive speed like yukimiya. Yukimiya didn't really fall off, his dribbling actually works and I'd argue that he is a better dribbler than others when it comes to defeating every defender one by one in a row. His shooting just needs some work. Reo didn't fall off that much, I think it was nagi mostly. Reo will soon understand Metavision, work on his copy of rin after seeing destroyer(oh god imagine a copy berserker X sae flow) mode. Reo is insanely versatile tho, he would literally be the best substitution In the world 😂
I feel like Aryu also got nerfed. Him a Toki were top 3. Now they dont see much play as forwards. Still glad the Glam Chad sees game time and has a solid place as a CB
Yuki and kuni should've stayed relevant like how it was foreshadowed at the start of the nel... Instead they touch the ball once or twice a match. The isagi/kaiser show is kinda boring atp, even raichi and kurona shouldve been given more like why is isagi the only one who can defend, could've at least given one of his defensive feat to raichi 🤦🏻♂️
Lately ive preferred episode nagi way more than the normally bluelock manga. Ik its a lot harder to give characters attention in a 11 v 11 than a 4v4 second selection but like I think the point of bluelock is that everyone is kinda a protagonist, isagi brings this up too in the manshine game i think. But like it’s just been, kaiser isagi kaiser isagi over and over and im like bro why is isagi teleporting across the field when you can just have kunigami or any other player on the field do something more. In my opinion it makes it feel shallow and undeserved when a character is actually given their spotlight such as yukimiya. When yuki scored his goal I just thought anyone could have done that, they’re all supposed to be strikers so yea they can all have goal scoring potential when Isagi feeds them directly. I just don’t like yuki because it feels like he isn’t getting better and he didn’t deserve a ranking as high as he is or was, it felt like they gave him so much screen time just to do nothing and clean up Isagi’s goal, and then bro thinks isagi’s his rival. Like I don’t understand how you can make a team have only 2 good players like barcha and then only use bachira and leave otoya behind. The author builds up characters only to waste them.
I’m saying this Tokitimistu is the most nerfed character. He was 3rd ranked in the second. Could bull-doze through anyone who tried to hold him back and has unlimited stamina
Shidou was truly nerfed. He is such a high-level player that a man like Sae recognized. When I knew it was time for Bastard to battle PxG, I questioned myself. How would the former win a match against arguably the strongest NEL team consisting of a demon-thing like Charles, a berserker Rin, and the unpredictable threat that is Shidou!? Now I know, it's because of nerfed Shidou.
Nagi's just undergoing a slump. Remember he's the main character of the side-story. He just needed to be experience this to come back even stronger. Besides, his rivals and enemies in BL are just speedrunning development like there's no tomorrow that his own development pales in comparison.
I forgot his name, but I’m pretty sure he’s the tallest person I know I’m not talking about Ariou I liked him as a character because he’s a pretty interesting being the tallest person, but seen him fall off is very sad😢
It’s so funny a majority of this video is about the PXG players and it’s sad to see such a stacked line up of characters where before the PXG game everyone was like “There is no way BM is winning if they do it’s cause of plot” and so far that’s kinda the case the fact that PXG has been winning so far cause they players are insane but now up against the other best team Loki not teaching his TEAM A DAMN THING is really showing here as people on this team are fast as hell and their master is known for his SPEED and I think Kaneshiro might eventually bring it up as Loki really didn’t care about teaching his team anything. So in a way it’s kinda impressive PXG won every game so far after not getting buffed at all from the NEL.
Excuse me sir but loki dead ass modeled pxg in the style opposite to Noel then then the pxg bm game s5arted loki out right says fuk it we gonna put it all together on da fly
@@charlesredd9619 counterpoint Loki most likely did this since all the other matches has been easy for PXG so Charles wasn’t able to evolve now with this chaotic field against BM Charles is more likely to evolve as he has already did something incredible with Shidou but now he might have to find something else and evolve to do something more amazing.
@Shinji5146 exactly so u can't say he taught nothing when all this is his plan also Charles is like nagi it's gonna be a big boom when they both decide to get serious
bruh tokimitsu should've gone to manshine he would've actually thrived. in a team focused on physique plus with the added bonus of Manshine only having like 3 - 4 good players, he would've stood out a lot and played a bigger role in matches, leading to him getting a higher bid and saving him 😭
Otoya didn't get nerfed, his off ball game got buffed to perfection so now he is constantly off the ball and never touches it.
😭
Damnnn 😭😭😭😭

Nagi was insane BECAUSE of isagi, now that nagi doesnt have isagi he had to find his own way, which he is doing currently with reo. obviously reo isnt as good as isagi, so it looks like nagi isnt improving BUT he is just not as much as the other monsters. Very excited to see nagi's growth in the future
I dont understand shidous nerf. Maybe this is because he's my favourite character but i thought the whole point of his character initially was that he was too good for blue lock. No one could challenge him in a meaningful way and bring out a chemical reaction for his growth.
Its due to his insane performance that he was scouted by friggin itoshi sae himself and we saw when shidou is in the flow state hes capable of performing impossible goals that go beyond his normal shooting range of being in the box.
The neo soccer league seemed like the perfect opportunity for him to final have a challenge and develop if anything were to happen (now being faced with and taught by world class strikers). But all of a sudden his performance is way worse than it was in the u20 match and he goes from being the genius who can score from any position in the box to a striker that can ONLY score in the box and it isnt guaranteed.
Honestly i just wish he wasnt on the same team as rin because i feel all the focus given to rin on PXG as rightfully the protagonists rival n stuff means that theres no opportunity to explore shidou as a character.
Shidou and isagi dont have a relationship or rivalry whatsoever which means in the story thats ultimately from isagi's point of view the focus will always be on people isagi wants to beat.
Shidou feels like just an annoyance on the pitch for all the more important strikers and thats painful to see
Shidou didnt get nerf its more like he didnt get better like at all... like how Rin and Isagi both got ramped up.. Shidou has a superior physical ability which he used to get off against Reo but with Kunigami who has a better physical ability he cant use something against him like his acceleration. As for Otoya what he needed was a buff i think the only reason he was number 4 was because he got paired up with Karasu his only gimmick is like Off the ball movement and swift speed. I even feel like Otoya is inferior to Yukimiya, Barou, and Bachira on U20.
Perfect list, maybe aiku couldve been added as well
i genuinely forgot otoya was even in barcha wth
Yuki makes sense since the bastard is slowly going blind
Expected when a sports manga like blue lock tries to balance so many characters at the same time
Now we need a video about the buffed characters
Tokimitsu went to the wrong team imagine if he went to Manshine a team built around physicals but no pxg put him there
holy poop the subscribe button can do that red circle thingy when u talked about it
MY GLORIOUS GOAT ARYU WOULD NEVER BE ON THIS LIST!!!
Glamorous!!! He will always make the line up, he's tall and skillful. Him and Gagamaru have a place in the U20 World cup spot, you can bet on that
So many players here would have probably been way better had they gone to teams that actually made sense. Ik the author set the NEL up for specific matches to happen between characters, but there is no reason why nagi or karasu wouldn’t have gone to snuffy or tokimitsu to Chris for example
Yukimiya is getting a little development because of his gyro shot but he isnt getting much though
Shidou is fine to call nerfed. Though I do think he's going to get a back story and evolve further later on at some point or other. Maybe not in this match but certainly some other time.
The problem with the current system of Blue Lock that doesn't allow for mistakes to happen is that some players would appear nerfed or buffed depending on the plot. I don't like it, honestly. Mistakes also happen in football and there's nothing wrong in failing.
100% agree with your choice.
Yokimitsu wasn’t the top 3 player… he was just the third to complete the second stage… which is why he got the 3 on the uniform…
The issue with tokimitsu is that he doesn’t have a ego and if he ever awakens one. He’d sky rocket in salary
Otoya was just the most hard countered by his defender in the U-20 game, because if you take away his off the ball he is just a fast character.
you should make a vid on characters that got buffed next
I hope the anime adds in all of the side matches during the NEL.
Man i have to re-do that tokimitsu coloring haha
haha nah that toki coloring always fire 🔥
@@Hirryoo btw, do you have ig or twt (or any social media) so i can share you colorings and talk about bllk stuff
yukimiya is definitely a good player, he's just nerfed because of his eyesight
Tbh I don't think Tokimitsu even works out he's just naturally strong so other players are way closer to his strength
Tokimitsu was one of my favourites in the anime please let him get better he would have been so interesting.
When you say "Tokimitsu was nerfed by his weapons but Nagi was nerfed by his mental state" i kinda disagree. For me, Tokimitsu's downfall is perfectly logic, he is a player with weapons but absolutely no confidence. That goes against Blue Lock logic and the main point of the show. You are supposed to be better by being absorbed in your own potential, but Tokimitsu just doesn't seem to be able to do that. So yeah, his skills were really good, but he is the embodiment of a "failed genius" described by Ego, someone who doesn't know where his skills come from, who can't improve and doesn't have the mental capability to overcome adversity. For me Tokimitsu was nerfed FROM THE BEGINNING by his mental state. Only if he managed to overcome his fear or using it to develop frustration and see that the frustration could make him go higher, only at this moment he could have improved. But did Tokimitsu really improved during the serie? Nah. So for me it's perfectly logic that he is not doing great right now.
MADE MY DAY AGAIN 😍
I feel bad for Tokimitsu and Otoya. These dudes have been truly nerfed.
i didnt even see the time this was posted lol
They were more rough with Tokimitsu to be fair when their matching up with him. I still think he is better than Raichi but I think he's more of better nanase then Raichi basing off how rin used him in his fight against isagi before.
Nagi just needs to fix his ego/mentality and learn to turn on and off his creativity even if wants to be lazy off game. He can already score constant super/miracle goals with reo or atleast have a skill/talent to pull them off.
Shidou was just hard countered by kunigami who is also able to jump and match his physique well. He also has good enough speed to match shidou explosive speed off the ball.
Otoya was genuinely nerfed lol. He was basically isagi/naruhaya off the ball movement on steroids, he can get pass probably all defenders without them noticing if he dosent have the ball.
For Zantetsu I think he can still comeback if he could use his explosive speed like yukimiya.
Yukimiya didn't really fall off, his dribbling actually works and I'd argue that he is a better dribbler than others when it comes to defeating every defender one by one in a row. His shooting just needs some work.
Reo didn't fall off that much, I think it was nagi mostly. Reo will soon understand Metavision, work on his copy of rin after seeing destroyer(oh god imagine a copy berserker X sae flow) mode. Reo is insanely versatile tho, he would literally be the best substitution In the world 😂
It’s just a problem with how the cast is and the goal limit for the NEL, characters can’t shine that much because of the plot
I feel like Aryu also got nerfed. Him a Toki were top 3. Now they dont see much play as forwards. Still glad the Glam Chad sees game time and has a solid place as a CB
Shidou may have been “nerfed” but he’s still the best on the field 🗣️🔥🔥🔥
what mic do u use??
Nagi isn't nerfed necessarily, he just gets plot, everyone knows Kaneshiro is a Nagi glazer
Bro I'm telling you this guy is cooking zantetsu for no reason😭😭😭
kunigami needs to score the game winner this match
Bruh if They decide to bring Rank 3 Tokimitsu back, i want him to be a guard dog to kaiser
They really got shidou so down had making him seem like a fraud
Yukimiya had his moment, he’ll prolly pop of in the coming arcs but giving him the spotlight is too crowded for everything going on in these matches
Yuki and kuni should've stayed relevant like how it was foreshadowed at the start of the nel... Instead they touch the ball once or twice a match. The isagi/kaiser show is kinda boring atp, even raichi and kurona shouldve been given more like why is isagi the only one who can defend, could've at least given one of his defensive feat to raichi 🤦🏻♂️
Lately ive preferred episode nagi way more than the normally bluelock manga. Ik its a lot harder to give characters attention in a 11 v 11 than a 4v4 second selection but like I think the point of bluelock is that everyone is kinda a protagonist, isagi brings this up too in the manshine game i think. But like it’s just been, kaiser isagi kaiser isagi over and over and im like bro why is isagi teleporting across the field when you can just have kunigami or any other player on the field do something more. In my opinion it makes it feel shallow and undeserved when a character is actually given their spotlight such as yukimiya. When yuki scored his goal I just thought anyone could have done that, they’re all supposed to be strikers so yea they can all have goal scoring potential when Isagi feeds them directly. I just don’t like yuki because it feels like he isn’t getting better and he didn’t deserve a ranking as high as he is or was, it felt like they gave him so much screen time just to do nothing and clean up Isagi’s goal, and then bro thinks isagi’s his rival. Like I don’t understand how you can make a team have only 2 good players like barcha and then only use bachira and leave otoya behind. The author builds up characters only to waste them.
Ngl I understand Nagi bro's been playing for less than 6 months but Tokimistu
at first shidou was in comparison to Kaiser imo it seemed like the best was between them two & Rin & then Kaiser just left them behind
My boy shidou, hope he's the 4th man in the PXG/Bastard game
Waiting for the isagi and sae partnership duo🔥🧠⚽
I’m saying this Tokitimistu is the most nerfed character. He was 3rd ranked in the second. Could bull-doze through anyone who tried to hold him back and has unlimited stamina
Then again he stoped Noa (due to a foul, but still)
Kunigami really got all the "Wild Card" hype and then died inside 😔
Nagi just needs new motivation
to be fair. they're not all going for the #1 spot anymore. as stated by Ego they had to become the best in a position they could make their own
Toki should have injure Kurona with that tackle
what us ur microphone brand?
Shidou was truly nerfed. He is such a high-level player that a man like Sae recognized. When I knew it was time for Bastard to battle PxG, I questioned myself. How would the former win a match against arguably the strongest NEL team consisting of a demon-thing like Charles, a berserker Rin, and the unpredictable threat that is Shidou!?
Now I know, it's because of nerfed Shidou.
Nagi's just undergoing a slump. Remember he's the main character of the side-story. He just needed to be experience this to come back even stronger.
Besides, his rivals and enemies in BL are just speedrunning development like there's no tomorrow that his own development pales in comparison.
I forgot his name, but I’m pretty sure he’s the tallest person I know I’m not talking about Ariou I liked him as a character because he’s a pretty interesting being the tallest person, but seen him fall off is very sad😢
It’s so funny a majority of this video is about the PXG players and it’s sad to see such a stacked line up of characters where before the PXG game everyone was like “There is no way BM is winning if they do it’s cause of plot” and so far that’s kinda the case the fact that PXG has been winning so far cause they players are insane but now up against the other best team Loki not teaching his TEAM A DAMN THING is really showing here as people on this team are fast as hell and their master is known for his SPEED and I think Kaneshiro might eventually bring it up as Loki really didn’t care about teaching his team anything. So in a way it’s kinda impressive PXG won every game so far after not getting buffed at all from the NEL.
Excuse me sir but loki dead ass modeled pxg in the style opposite to Noel then then the pxg bm game s5arted loki out right says fuk it we gonna put it all together on da fly
@@charlesredd9619 counterpoint Loki most likely did this since all the other matches has been easy for PXG so Charles wasn’t able to evolve now with this chaotic field against BM Charles is more likely to evolve as he has already did something incredible with Shidou but now he might have to find something else and evolve to do something more amazing.
@Shinji5146 exactly so u can't say he taught nothing when all this is his plan also Charles is like nagi it's gonna be a big boom when they both decide to get serious
bruh tokimitsu should've gone to manshine he would've actually thrived. in a team focused on physique plus with the added bonus of Manshine only having like 3 - 4 good players, he would've stood out a lot and played a bigger role in matches, leading to him getting a higher bid and saving him 😭
It’s not like he got nerfed he just didn’t get buffed and everybody else did and he struggles it apply himself
Oliver akiu was him and still is but not as much as the u20 team
hiryo is gagamaru holding a debate gun
hes also a shidou meat rider
