![Oscar Maydon x Junior H - Volver Al Futuro [Official Video]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/sa52xabMSB8/mqdefault.jpg)
Hey there! Thank you all so much for watching! I was incredibly happy my first video got above 100 views! I was already gonna be happy if this one had gotten 150, maybe 200 if lucky, but you guys completely surpassed my expectations! 1200 views and counting! That's insane! You've made my weekend, and now I'm pumped to start writing the script for the next one! I hope you'll enjoy it when it comes out! Thank you again and take good care of yourselves :D
Ur so underrated wth
8.8k*
10x today holy shit bro
nvm 14k*
Check now LOL congrats man really good video
My favorite part about blue lock is that at first glance it looks like ball hog academy with everyone wanting the ball all the time trying to score, but in reality is a series about self-discovery and understanding how your and your teammates skills fit together to create chances. They want everyone to be absolutely certain in themselves and those around you, its not power of friendship but power of trust.
That is a very nice way of seeing Blue Lock ahah (I personally think they're a bit too twisted for that to be the case though xd)
Isagi basically walked in as a side character in a room full of Yugi Motos😂
I've received a lot of kind comments, good critiques and engagements, but you have made me laugh and spit my drink with that one, that was great 😂
@@mr_good_sir thank you sir 🙏
the character designs are one of blue lock’s greatest strengths imo. there are so many unique characters with backstories that would fit PERFECTLY into the role of protagonist (rin, chigiri, barou, etc) that isagi being the protagonist is initially puzzling. it’s why his development is so interesting because, unlike the other characters, he has to go leaps and bounds to solidify himself as the protagonist- not just in-verse, but to us, the readers, as well. it’s actually why he fits the role of protagonist better than the other characters listed above would. in other words: isagi is a certified hustler
He’s got that grind set mentality xd
The duality of Isagi is so compelling and also disqualifies him as “self-insert-y”. The dissonance in his character is very fantastical and jarring. His ego and ambition is made increasingly abnormal by the juxtaposition between his character at first glance and his actual character. He becomes an aspirational character that the story uses to challenge us readers to unearth our own personal “why”s and make them a reality. Thanks for this! 👍🏾
Damn man, maybe you should write about Blue Lock, I feel like this comment was better than my whole video ahah XD
Damn bro, this ain't the literature exam. Great comment nevertheless
My personal favorite isagi moment is when he used domain expansion "blue lock" against the fraud Rin and blue locked all over the place, it was truly our blue lock and really shows the depth of the character 💯💯
Jujutsu Lock/Blue Kaisen XD
The Japanese speaking part was so well done holy shit
Love the video and glad to find another channel who loves blue lock as much as I do
Thanks! Only got lucky I've got a friend who studied the language, couldn't have done it without her xd (And yeah, Blue Lock is great, never miss a chapter ahah)
I agree. Though, it might be different in the anime, as some words which seems like are different in Japanese. But for the most part, you got it
@@mr_good_sir @mr_good_sir I do think in the Isagi last line it should have been: "Oretachi wa- Iie... Ore no... Goal wa, ore no... mirai desu."
@@mr_good_sir Remember taking advantage of luck is a skill in itself! Awesome video! Looking forward to the next video!
oh this account is FRESH fresh
Hopefully I won't take as long to deliver the next one, I don't wanna grow STALE XD (I'm sorry, I'll see myself out...)
That voice acting bit at the end was actually well done imo, you captured the isagi’s transformation from meek and shy to someone more confident and egocentric hope to see more blue lock videos in the future, it’s probably my favorite manga I’ve been reading so far.
Thanks for the kind words! I don't know how soon I'll come back to Blue Lock, there are a few characters besides Isagi that interest me for video topics, but I'll need to see how the manga develops them a lit bit more first xd (but I'll definitely consider it!)
BRO I THOUGHT IT HAD 383 THOUSAND VIEWS AND NOT JUST 383
saaame!!
Ahahah if only, maybe I'll get lucky to grow up to those numbers one day, hope you enjoyed the video! :D
@@mr_good_sir loved the video
Please keep writing and putting out content!! I love your sense of writing and it is clear the amount of effort that went into this, these deserve to be watched waaay more, we can only have faith in the algorithm
Thank you! I've got a rough full-time job so I don't have as much free time (or energy) as I'd like to have to focus on this channel, but I just finished reading the source material for the next video, and I'll start writing as soon as I can! I hope you'll enjoy it when it comes out :D
Truly a gem in the rough. Felt like I was just watching the usual, big RUclips channel. Great video! Don't feel too pressured by growth, and keep up the good work!
Awww man! Everyone's been really sweet and supportive, you guys warm my heart :')
Incredible video bro - keep up the good work
Thank you m'Lord, I shall try my best : D
I love blue lock SO MUCH, absolutely great video, subscribing and watching from now on
Thank you! I hope you'll enjoy what I upload next! :3
Nice edit nice video nice analysis. Now that I saw your video I understand why, when me and friend my watched the Blue Lock anime (after I read the manga), I didn't quite understand why he didn't like Isagi that much, but he also said that when Isagi is in "ego mode" he is one of the best, that's the part that we love.
Thank you so much! My thoughts exactly, most other characters are amazing to begin with, it's almost taken for granted when they go "ego mode" as your friend says ahah, but when it's someone as ordinary as Isagi that does it, it's all the more remarkable : D
Really well written video man. Keep up the good work
Thank you! Will give it my best shot! :D
Isagi went from a simple self-insert to a role model of self-improvement. We wish we were him because we want to be better in our lives as well. Great video!
That's a great way to see it! And thank you, glad you've enjoyed it! :D
Amazing video dude!
Thanks! Love the Ayanokoji btw, I'm watching the 3rd season of Classroom of the Elite at the moment :D
Subscribed because of the quality of the content i didn't expect from a small channel, hope you keep on growing!
Thank you for the kind words! I’ll give it my best shot! Love reading everybody’s comments during my break at work, makes it more bearable ahah, I hope you have a great day! :D
I loved this concept and video overall, keep going!
Thank you! And will do my good sir, just uploaded yesterday a new video, and already thinking on what I should talk next :3
This was amazing 👏🏽
Thank you very much! That's very nice of you to say :D
This guy will go places!! nice video
Thank you! I’ll try my best! :D
DAMNNN BANGER VIDEO🎉🎉
Thank you good sir! Just made a new one two days ago (although I've already lost the copyright battle for that one :/), hope to keep making more! :3
I liked and subbed when I saw the amout of subs cuz this video is great
Aww man, thanks a bunch, that's super nice of you :')
Dudeeee i am sooo fricking suprised by how many subscribers you have dudeeeeeee.
Good luck man.
Dont forget the Me and the OG'S.
Have a good run man.
Cya.🙂
Thank you fellow good sir! Your comment has been saved for the day I "blow up" as some people have said ahah :D
Very fun and well thought out!
Thank you good sir! Glad you enjoyed it! :D
great video man keep it up
A bit late for me to respond, but thank you kind sir! :D
Bro, this video was so expertly designed, scripted, and edited. You deserve so much more attention than this, keep up the good work, and I'm sure you're going to grow fast in no time.
You give me too much credit ahah, I’ve already gotten some good constructive criticism, I’m definitely not an expert, but slowly I surely will get better, thank you for the kind words! :D
woww, theres even voice acting, this video is so awesome and so high quality
Seems like the voice acting part is the high point of the video in the comments! I'm really glad I went for it ahah, thank you!
Quality of video is crazy very entertaining ngl
Super glad you enjoyed it fellow man of culture! xd
Amazing video well writed, calm and cool voice, editing super and blue lock lends itself very well for this type of video. ❤️from italy
Thank you so much! I wouldn't call my voice cool, still have a hard time doing the recording part, but I'll definitely keep trying my best! (I have friends living in Italy, they love it, hopefully I'll get to visit them soon ❤)
banger video and I think your voice acting was pretty good.
Thank you very much! I'm quite rough on the edges, but I'll try to get better with time! xd
I was surprised by your sub count at the end of the video, genuinely, this was really well structured and I loved the video. Even more than that, the radio-styled speech with that finishing card at the end with the summary/title was PERFECTION.
To add, hope to see more future vids from you, that was a good listen.
Thank you so much! It's comments like yours that sadden me for not having as much time as I wished to put full effort into bettering my editing skills for this small channel of mine (40h/week job am I right fellow workers? XD), but it also pumps me up for whenever I have the free time! (next video hopefully will come out by the end of this month, close to half done so, fingers crossed :3)
This was so good
Thank you so much Felix! love the profile pic btw, I might talk about Toy Story in a way or another in the future, still not sure in which media though ahah
This is actually one of the best videos about blue lock I’ve ever seen
Oh damn, thank you very much! That is very nice of you to say :')
BANGER!
Yey! Glad you liked it!
This video was so good especially the ending
Thanks! It was really fun doing that part xd
All the video is awesomelly explained, at that not even counting the hypocresy and Evolution of that last goal in a deeper way. The fact that the guy that made him evolve the most, Rin, got his fame taken away by the exact same type of goal that he scored to win Isagi previusly, It shows a lot about the Evolution and the writing in the series, complete banger of a video
Thank you very much! And yeah, I agree with you on that xd
Ez sub. Cant wait for more vids
Thank you! Working on the next one right now, hopefully it'll be done by the end of the month :D
very high production, gained urself a subscriber. Besta Luck fellow egoist
Thank you very much! I hope to try to keep making good entertaining content xd
This is an amazing video and I love how clearly it explains why I found this manga so appealing even though I was never fond of sports. You did such a great job with this and I hope to see more from your channel.
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it! I'll keep trying my best! (And also try to get better at time management so I don't actually take a full month per video ahah... ahah.... *sighs* 😅)
Good stuff my guy, convinced me to pick up the manga and continue where the anime left off. 🔥
Thank you so much! It just gets more and more crazy down the line, I hope you'll enjoy it :D
If you've been basic and average all your life. Then you'll know the awesome feeling of when you know you have something that a genius also has.
My thoughts exactly, well said xd
This was a really good analysis of the series (remember me when you get big. Keep up the great work)
Note: Remember to mention @jordanbrowne5257 IF I ever make it big, aaaaaannd screenshot taken, you will now be remembered and save on my "People to mention if I ever make it big" folder XD
@@mr_good_sir remember me too! i'm ur 197th subscribers, hope u get to 197k subs soon! good work btw!!
@@mr_good_sir If even SOME of your videos are this well made i am 1000% certain you’ll be great
You got it @@RenXinzie! 197k is quite a tall order, but lets see what the future holds xd
Ngl better quality then most people with 100k subscribers, and hes not even at 1k subscribers. This was such a good video and I believe your going yo get to 10k subscribers or even more
Awww man, I'm still a very small channel with just three videos so I don't think I deserve such kind words, regardless, it means the world to me, so thank you :')
Yeah this video is crazy good i thought i was watchinv someone who knows how this stuff is done and ig i am bc ur doing perfect but i expected you to have more subscribers if you keeps this up no doubt you will rapidly grow gl
On ur YT journey great vid
Thank you! Time management will definitely be the hardest hill the climb, but I'll try my best!
First time finding your channel and this video is actually fire, for someone who watches blue lock and reads the manga i can say i love how this video describe how the feeling u get from watching it and what u learn from. Also there making a movie on april 19th when i comes if u could would u make a video about it? love your content contuine making videos!
Thank you for the kind words! As for your question, I don't know, I like Nagi, but I don't think he's been developed to a point where I personally would make a video about him, depends on how the manga continues and how the movie is, so the answer really is: "Maybe" XD
Why did bro drop the hardest isagi edit in begining wth
I'll be honest, I've been addicted to "Smell of the Game" for months now, so I knew even before finishing the script that I would use it for the intro ahah :D
That ending gave me goosebumps ✨
Ahah, I hope those were good goosebumps! xd
Also great video
Thank you very much, glad you enjoyed it nº1 Aoi Ashi fan :D
Hey, nice video essay! The editing quality is honestly quite insane considering the size of your channel. Since this is your second video, I assume that you'd welcome some constructive criticism, so here's my two bits:
1. I'm not usually someone who speeds up or skips through videos, but I only could sit through this at x1.25 speed. You articulate your points well enough, so I think that putting in a bit more tempo would do you good, maybe about 110-115% speed instead of 125% would be the sweetspot.
2. About Isagi's goal in the U20, although I get why you explicitly mentioned it, I think it might be a bit too spoilery to the anime onlies. Even though this outcome is indeed predictable if you read carefully enough, it's still one of the best pure hype moments of the series imo and taking the tension away from it might diminish the impact for any anime only when the arc finally gets animated. I think simply mentioning the circumstances of the game and saying that Isagi had a huge impact on the game and could successfully establish himself as "the heart of blue lock" is vague enough while simultaneously giving enough context for the interview. That being said, I might be nitpicking here because it's my favourite scene in the series and I'm just really allergic to spoilers.
All in all, stand proud, you cooked.
Thank you so much for the constructive criticism!
1. Yeah, I hope I'll get better about that with time, I have a bit of a "supereyepatchwolf syndrome" XD
2. You're not nitpicking! I fully understand and I'll consider it depending on the case, but I personally am not easily affected by spoilers, so I'm a bit selfish on that regard, and I really wanted for the scene to be more impactful, since it's been months since the chapter came out, I thought it'd be fine, but in retrospective, I should've implemented a SPOILER WARNING, doing that for the next one at the moment xd
Thank you once again! I'll keep trying my best! :D
Remember Me when your account blows up! c:
I'll remember you exactly as the 6th commenter in any of my videos Jimadrid! (that's not an IRL friend of mine, in that case you're lucky number 7 ;D) Even screenshotting this reply!
Does anyone else think that Jinpachi Ego looks like Vector from Despicable Me?
Yes! Yes he does, and I considered making that edit, but I wanted to use the uncanny Mr.Incredible meme track XD
Holy there’s no way this is only your second video
Not counting like 3 uni projects and a terrible Mirai Nikki fan AMV trailer (I was 14 and played around with movie maker, we all make mistakes XD), yup, that is indeed my second video ever ahah :D
the analysis, development and topic of the video is too good, you did all good. it is surprising that this is one of yours firsts video, keep working in this type of content, search original topics, like the one from this video that no one did it before and work in your way to narrate (I think this is what you should work on the most). you have a great potential.
Thank you for the kind words and sorry for the late reply! (I was working on the latest video ahah) I honestly need to work on everything but I get what you're saying, hopefully with time and practice I'll get better at it ;D
Can't wait for season 2
Same, it’ll be fun :D
protagonist? MORE LIKE A STRIKER!!!
also thats a banger intro for isagi :D
Thank you! Very glad you enjoyed it! :D
Wait wait wait ! How the hell do you have only 63 suscribers ? The quality of your videos is superior to a lot of youtubers out there. You've got a subscriber
That's very nice of you to say, thank you! But well, I'm a tiny channel with only two videos, doing as a hobby, cuz I have a physically demanding full-time job that takes away 40 hours of my week and leaves me destroyed ahah, I won't be growing anytime soon, but hopefully, slow and steady wins the race! Gotta give it our all! 👊
Basically, every character acts, looks and works like a protagonist, their appearence and even their participation in games is as important as the actual MC, they even experience protagonism at times with power ups even if they are against the actual MC, yet the actual MC looks like an average japanese guy with average height and normal haircut. The Nagi Spinoff is proof that all the characters need is their own pov throughout the story for them to be the protagonist.
Isagi's power is literally doubting in himself so he overthinks enough to win lol
Great comment, and yeah, overthinking is indeed Isagi's main strength ahah :D
I love blue lock and isagi
It's a fun ride :D
nice videoo
Thanks! :D
that ending gave me goosebumps
Oh my! I hope those are good goosebumps ahah xd
Damn I had to sub solely for the song choices at 1:50
Thank you very much! :D Yeah, I’ve been addicted to “Smell of the Game” for like, 4 months now, I thought it was a good fit for the video topic ahah XD
hell yeah
heeeeell yeaaaaaah xd
Thank you for the homage kkkkk.
I'm gonna make a bluelock video for the brasilians to. Is coming in a few days.
Ahah glad you liked it!
Dei uma vista de olhos no teu canal, Vinland Saga, NOMAD, excelente gostos meu caro :D (Surpresa, sou português xd)
@@mr_good_sir hahahaahaha, por essa eu não esperava. obrigado mano. thanks bro, esperando por mais videos seus.
had to subscribe after that voiceover
Super glad you enjoyed it, definitely took a risk there, but I had a lot of fun doing it!
This anime made me read my first manga ever.
Welcome to the wonderful world of mangas, go crazy, I've read so many, and I feel like I've only scratched the surface xd
dont sleep on this guy, he's next up
Thank you! That's super nice of you to say! Personally don't have the biggest self-esteem to say something like that, but it means a lot, really!
who voiced the Announcer n Isagi speech for Winning the U20? that sounded like it was straight out of an unreleased VA anime reel for S2
Ahah damn! That's way too high of a praise, I did both voices, first time trying to voice act, very rough on the edges in my opinion, but glad so many seemed to have enjoyed it, I'll try to get better at it! :3
I would like to mention that Barou's 'new form of dribbling' was less important than the change in mindset it represented. If I'm not mistaken, Barou used chop feints to bluff that he would pass the ball. He admits he can't outperform a team solo by saying he will pass if they leave him no choice, which is a huge leap from the King who refused to even think about passing, but then uses the hesitation that causes to push through himself.
Isagi pulled that out of him: molded Barou into the sort of person who will do anything to score his own goals, even letting other people score for him. And it's that unique, almost contradictory perspective on soccer that's made him a nightmare for everyone to deal with, since someone using prior knowledge of football to predict the outcome of a match cannot account for Barou's truly original style.
For those who are caught up with the Manga, yes, that 'originality' is what Ego talked about before the most recent Isagi v. Rin match. Barou has been doing it since the second selection, we just didn't have terms for it. And that, to me, is something that makes Blue Lock truly special: the puzzle pieces for success are often foreshadowed dozens of chapters in advance by players using them without knowing what they are.
That is a fantastic point to make! Definitely taking notes from you, I'll be sure to have points like these in consideration for future videos!
Isagi charater desighn kinda explain him as a person average
Indeed it does :D
if underrated was a person it would be you
Eish, my heart just skipped a beat, that's way too nice of you to say, thank you :')
WE LET BRO COOK FOR A REASON 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thanks ma man! :D
HIMSAGI🗣️🔥🔥
ISAGI YOICHI senshu desu! :D
Blue locks intro always gives me goosebumps istg
The first op is a banger! XD
0:18 Kirito's copies even reaching korean manhwa 😂. They said it isekai, regression, nad what not. I just put them on my "Kirito's copies" genre 😂
The “Kirito copies” genre, I like that XD
In my opinion bluelock and Isagi is so popular because most of the people watching do not have a firm grasp on real football tactics and are in it for the hype of a sports anime, and well, it's understandable since that's what bluelock is targeted towards while people who actually play football at a semi-decent level can't help but subconsciously notice all the, well, stupid things that the characters do that would never work in real life (Barou made me pissed off at first since he would be absolutely humbled the moment he joins a football club for the first time and decides to ball hog all the time) that just feel lame when you realise it's not realistic one bit.
For example, Isagi's direct backheel feels super hype in the moment, but really, really stupid when you think about it for a sec and realise how unrealistic it feels. And when that feeling clicks, the hype goals don't feel the same. People who truly love and play football constantly can't help but notice because, well, in order to play football at that level you basically *have* to notice it or it shows that you don't have a good of a grasp of understanding to football as you thought.
In my opinion, Bluelock gets a lot more enjoyable when you realise that it's not supposed to be real football, but just a superpower based battle anime under the guise of "football".
I mean, true, it's anime, it's fun, that's really the important factor for the popularity aspect ahah XD
GIVE HIM MORE SUBSCRIBERS
Thank you for the support! Hope to make more content soon! :D
oops i unintentionally subscribe
Oh nooo! The tragedy! Welp, my apologies but we've locked the doors and windows, now you're stuck here eheh :3
1:40 best edit
Thank you! I've been addicted to that song for weeks now ahah
@@mr_good_sir that alone made me rewatch so much
I mean Isagi’s just average look compared to everyone else can also be seen as because he is always adapting and adaption and recreation is easier from a blank character then a detailed one
Indeed, that’s a really good way of seeing it xd
Tap in merchant
Using actual football terminology, damm, nice XD
Who did the voice acting in the end?
Hello there! 'twas I, MrGoodSir, ahah, I hope it wasn't too bad coming from someone who doesn't actually know Japanese xd
HOW TF DOESS HE HAVE LESS THAN 1K SUBSCRIBERS
Still just an infant channel with two videos ahah, but who knows, maybe one day! I'll try my best to earn the 1K mark, but even without that number, just a few comments and engagement alone mean the world to me! Thank you for the kind words! :D
I really want someone to recognize aoi ashi! 😔
I think there's already a pretty good fallowing though! XD
@@mr_good_sir but noone really makes video on it
I was interested in the video to you disrespecting Barou 😭 can't let that slide barou is EGO barou is HIM
I mean in my defense, I'm just the messenger, ISAGI is the one who disrespected him XD
@@mr_good_sir u won't see that again😭 sometimes you have to fall down to realize you hin
Read aoi ashi too
You ll fall in love
Sorry for the late reply, I'll consider it, already in the middle of reading way too many mangas outside of the sports genre ahah
Why is Kirito always used as the example of a boring character?
He ain't - as it was stated here - otherwordly powerful. The anime (S1) takes place good 2 years into the game, that guy was through shit loads of fights already so it's not weird he's capable with a sword and skilled enough to even change the course of a battle once in a while.
Still not capable with girls but well, 15yo lol
I was reading Unital Ring (N-th, newest, part of SAO) some time ago and what struck me is that - even though it's damn 27th Volume of the novel (+ there're 8 volumes of Progressive so technically, we're THIRTY FIVE (35) FUCKING CHAPTERS INTO THE STORY) there's no almightiness, no too-powerful "obvious" moves because yeah the MC can just blast through people at that point
The fights are a damn close call - they were surprise attacked, underequipped and in an enviroment with too-many new mechanics. And I literally thought "Well, Kirito has a sword so he'll just go The Black Swordsman with these mid level guys and kill em all"
and that's not what happened at all.
He was cautious, quick-thinking and properly using already learnt skills
And IIRC, it was like that in the anime and in most of the story overall (not talking about the end of Alicization lol, it was meant to be too OP)
So while I do agree Kirito didn't have much of a TYPICAL character development, I saw a lot of development. Though I lack words to describe it
Looks like someone here likes SAO a lot ahah, not making fun btw, full credit to you for sticking with the series and very glad you enjoy it, though I assume like myself, most people dropped SAO after the "Phantom Bullet" Arc, so personally, I can't speak much to Kirito's development as a character after season 2.
Though my point was more about the character design than the character itself, and what that design represents nowadays for the broader anime fanbase, the whole "self-insert" protagonist aspect of the design ahah :D
(but yeah, no actual hate for SAO, still enjoyed season 1, and the "Mother's Rosario" Arc too personally :3)
Sorry but i cant watch this past 3 minutes when you said those that fail in Blue Lock cant play for any Japanese team, which is just wrong. Good luck with your channel though.
Indeed, I realized after posting I never changed that line, “not allowed to represent Japan” is what it should’ve been ahah, I’ll be more careful next time, thank you for wishing me good luck :D
Good video but i wanna tell you that jesus is king
I mean, true, no one's above the big J.C. (now I'm imagining Jesus playing football, I feel like that's a manga in the making ahah xd)
i initially thought isagi was a shit mc until after the u20 game. NEL made me see how great he was, but at the same time the writings gunna regress. narratively this dude makes no sense xD
Let’s see where it goes, regardless, it’ll be a fun ride ahah
