as a former soccer player who played for a majority of my life, the message blue lock sends is something I NEEDED back then. i would hinder myself because i the thoughts and opinions of others. i wouldn't make plays i thought i could do because i was worried i would be called out for messing up or not passing etc, which would sometimes end up in my teammates who i knew were worse than me messing up. but if i watched this show and tried to gain more of an ego, i would've been a better player. i would've pushed myself further instead of being content with being held back by my team. of course it's a team sport but my point is it's ok to be selfish sometimes.
Same, I was a really good dribbler, it was easy to get into goal scoring situations but due to fear of losing the ball or over thinking I’d either get in a good goal scoring position and look for a pass or I’d not even attempt to dribble and make safe passes
@@uchiwamadara4614 yeah but blue lock misses the point entirely. where haikyuu shows that the writer actually played the sport, blue lock is the opposite. absolutely none of the characters in blue lock would ever make it professional and the writer looks like he's never actually played or watched the sport in his life. the best teams of all time have been teams, not a few people catering to the selfish whims of a couple arrogant fools.
Nah they will, animation is so ass in the later episodes. Who tf gave this studio this masterpiece bruh, should've gave it to the one who does sports anime, Production IG smh.
Okay! It’s LIT! I love watching reactors who have played sports watch Blue Lock. This was a surprise favorite of mine when it first came out in anime. Looking forward to seeing you all enjoy this ride.
I didn’t feel sad about Kira because ultimately he already had a strong ego that he hid behind pretenses. I mean in his match against Isagi he scored by himself and after that when he met up with Isagi he told Isagi he would love to receive his passes, meaning he acknowledged himself as more of a striker than Isagi. In a way I find that ending fitting because it’s like Isagi telling him that he is a striker, shooting him instead of passing to him.
Yay! I hope you guys like this football/soccer show! My only basis for soccer/football before this show was Inazuma 11. Which is also a football anime/soccer anime. Since you guys have soccer backgrounds/football backgrounds, this should be a fun reaction. Looking forward to more of your childhood soccer stories/ childhood football stories as the series goes on. Lol. Love you guys, sorry for dragging the football/soccer bit. Haha
Wait really? Maybe i shouldnt watch it then cause someone told me if i enjoyed haikyuu i would like bluelock but what i enjoy in haikyuu its precisely the formula of personal growth and team work working together and just the whole sportmanship aspect "we're playing against you but its a game and we all love the sport"
One famous manager said that offense wins you games but defense wins you titles and trophies and that is very true everyone just usually gravitates to strikers since it is the position with most glory stereotypically. Awesome reaction btw :3
noel noa is not a real life player but he is inspired by real players, the author said that he was based off luka modric and antonio griezmann, and this is the case for most characters in the anime, there play styles and even personalities are based off real players.
fun fact: when making the anime adaptation they had to censor some of the things said, like at 14:20 when ego said "lock off" he said "fuck off" in the manga
The Pics of the React Pack back when they were puppies warmed my heart😊😊 We might need to start calling Dani; Dani Messi, or Dani Neymar out here😅😅. I hope her soccer expertise shows up in future episodes.
Funny to see them worried about teamwork, high school tournaments and nationals, nah. This anime doesn't think small like that, we're worried about being the best striker and winning THE WORLD CUP! 😎
It’s funny that after the anime came out Japan became a good team. Most of there national team players play in Europe and they even have a premier league star with Mitoma. Also they just beat Germany 4-1 yesterday in GERMANY.
The cool thing about this show is we've seen a bunch of sports media, be it episodic series or movies, be it anime or live action, be it fictional or based on the real world that have "teamwork makes the dreamwork" kind of message. Of course in a team sport, that's the logical message to be delivered. But we're in the medium of anime! Where stories can be about teenagers that can morph into skyscraper tall titans. Of course there's still a place for stories like Haikyuu. But there's also a place for squid games football/soccer maniacs.
I loved the message of the anime, I really needed it, something different from all that common sense of anime, one of you said you thought Ryosuke would become Isagi's best friend, and no, it's about winning, and it makes perfect sense, losing their dreams (it would be like a life or death situation) is what makes them evolve and awaken. I don't like sports anime, but this one is totally different.
Ego isn’t talking about a team mindset, he’s talking about a strikers mindset, instead of spending all your time learning team play and strategy involving your whole team, he wants to train strikers to excel individually and be greedier on the field
The concept of this show, egoism, has an actual study on it and how it affects athletes. Not just soccer but almost every top athlete has a much higher ego than average players. Michael jordan, tom brady, heck even team friendly players like wayne gretzky at the end of the day would say "i want to win".
To answer the question at 14:58, yes, are correct lol. Because of censorship for the anime. Anime: Lock off. Manga: F*ck off. Another fun fact, Ego Jinpachi here in the anime calls them "diamonds in rough", in the manga he refers them as " Unpolished gems" which I found kinda disheartening when I started the anime, since it sounds a lot cooler imo.😅
Team z: Isagi Yoichi, Bachira Meguru, Chigiri Hyoma, Kunigami Reinsuke, Imamura, Igarashi, Kuon, Raichi, Gagamaru, Naruhaya, Lemon. The blue fire in Isagi's eyes and most characters in this show will have are called "aura eyes".
I find it funny that y’all been watching anime for so long but didn’t know about “anime seasons”. I recently started anime and I just learned about it too
Playing barefoot is actually feels better, when i was a kid, i played football at the tar road in front of my house, it's not that bad, sepak takraw ball is much harder
It seems that the only countries that use the word soccer are Japan, America, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. When I watch reaction videos of people from Europe and South America, it's funny to see some people look unconvinced by the word soccer.

Dani: "I thought that was gonna be his friend"
Isagi: Fuck friendship! I'm HIM
That's my HIMsagi...😎🔥
isagi took the "main character" to the highest level
15:32 'Noel Noa' is not a real person, but the other guys that they showed, 'Pele' and 'Cantona,' are real football legends.
Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi is mentioned too...
Dont forget the 2 GOAT bro 🗿
My guess is Noel Noa based on Robert Lewandowski

BlueLock is pretty much the opposite of Haikyuu in all aspects, at least what I've indulged in so far. This series is very ME energy
True. It's no "Teamwork makes the dream!" "The power of friendship!" It's more "Teamwork? F*** teamwork!!" LOL
@@priths773 Actually, yeah I agree. We get those friendly rivalries eventually and it’s cool to see it :)
Something like Ao Ashi is closer to Haikyuu...hopefully it gets more seasons.
@@priths773 heck yes!
Read the manga of blue lock, its cool
“There’s no i in team”
“But there is me”
Lmao I was dying because that is the essence of this anime
Its insane they made each character look like a lead character

Exactly.
exactly, blue lock message is right tbh.All the best athletes IRL in sports are selfish to an extent

When Dani was describing herself in soccer made me realize she was basically acting like Gagamaru.
OHHH YESSSSS THIS IS PEAK WE LOVE IT SO MUCH YOU GUYS WONT BE DISAPPOINTED NOT ONE BIT HOPE YOU GUYS LOVE AND ENJOY IT🙏🏽
Same feeling bro ❤️🔥
Yessir bro 💯💪🏽
Nah they will, animation is so ass in the later episodes. Who tf gave this studio this masterpiece bruh, should've gave it to the one who does sports anime, Production IG smh.
LOL - they gave beginners a show with such goated manga panels@@mangonow6350
@@mangonow6350they haven’t read the manga so obviously they won’t care 💀
Other sport anime: It's all about teamwork
Blue Lock: It's all about manipulating a team to work
AS someone who's biggest hobbies are soccer and anime, this show was a joy to watch. A truly different sports anime.
Okay! It’s LIT! I love watching reactors who have played sports watch Blue Lock. This was a surprise favorite of mine when it first came out in anime. Looking forward to seeing you all enjoy this ride.
Thank you!! Looking forward to watching!! -Morgan

well his team didnt push the all for one one for all mentality isagi would be even more of a striker if he never join the team hes on

Since you guys have soccer backgrounds/football backgrounds, this should be a fun reaction. Looking forward to more of your childhood soccer stories/ childhood football stories as the series goes on.
Lol. Love you guys, sorry for dragging the football/soccer bit. Haha
ego's speech is not directed to soccer players but only the striker position players and he's spot on.
Hell yeah former soccer players let’s gooo
Every formula you learned and saw on haikyuu is completly fliped and thrown out the window
Wait really? Maybe i shouldnt watch it then cause someone told me if i enjoyed haikyuu i would like bluelock but what i enjoy in haikyuu its precisely the formula of personal growth and team work working together and just the whole sportmanship aspect "we're playing against you but its a game and we all love the sport"
@@pjmnglowthe Mindset of characters in blue lock is definitely opposite to that of haikyu but u should definitely give it a try
It's one of the best soccer series I've seen in a long time.

Brazilian here, Yep, Pelé said that "every position i am the best player, always and always"
Isagi: "Best friends? what's that?" LOL.. Btw 25:01 the one with red-long hair is one of Isagi's harem
As Ego said in the begining, "abandon all common sense", that applies to watching the anime too. Good hype though and amazing characters.
fun fact: when making the anime adaptation they had to censor some of the things said, like at 14:20 when ego said "lock off" he said "fuck off" in the manga

Hell yeah, I freaking love Blue Lock, fav sports anime since Kuroko.

It’s funny that after the anime came out Japan became a good team. Most of there national team players play in Europe and they even have a premier league star with Mitoma. Also they just beat Germany 4-1 yesterday in GERMANY.
“Self-centered” yeah thats pretty much the point of Blue lock XD

Oh wow, you guys are reacting to Blue Lock 🔥🔥🔥Definitely showcases a new perspective, hope you enjoy it
The most intense manga sport and anime out there and the characters are all MC material. They can have their own series it all of them would ate.

Finally some soccer content coming up great show guys this is gonna be EPIC!!!
Blue Lock is the best Soccer “anything” I’ve seen so far. Enjoy.
It’s so good so far!! -Morgan
@@TheReactPack Glad you ladies have been enjoying it
As of right now the best football player from Japan is Mitoma. Guy is an absolute beast in dribbling and speed
Ego isn’t talking about a team mindset, he’s talking about a strikers mindset, instead of spending all your time learning team play and strategy involving your whole team, he wants to train strikers to excel individually and be greedier on the field
Idk if it was intentional but the play button in the back is such a genius idea
FINALLY IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOREVER
OMG IM WAY TOO EXCITED

I'm so excited for y'all to get to know these guys!!

Ichigo (Bleach): Kunigami
Kurama (Yu Yu Hakusho): Chigiri
Bachira= Manami (Yowamushi pedal)
Raichi= Kanemaru（ace of diamond)
Hiori（new character Season2) = Armin
Rin = Mikasa (short hair version)
@@miku5148 Barou = Vegeta ? 😂
Ego Jinpachi has the same VA as Levi from AOT.
It's about becoming a better player and beliving in yourself. If you are stronger the team benefits from it
Can’t wait until they watch it fully so I can react back to back so I’ll wait 😌❤️
i like this anime a lot, brought back the feeling i got when i saw "Hungry Hearts: Wild Striker" from 2002
One thing I'ma say, Blue lock definitely breaks a lot of cliches for sports anime lol
This is "Im HIM" the anime. Aint no room for friendship
More people should react to this series, it made my sister like football.
That rengoku poster in your background is my pc wallpaper😂😂
Can’t wait for y’all to meet Chigiri.
A poll for the best winter anime is crazy😭 glad it won tho
Former soccer players that don't know that this Noel Noa guy is a fictional character lol
If a striker is strong and has an indomitable ego. The team is already automatically gonna be formed and work around him.
16:55 "there's no i in team"
"BUT THERE'S A ME IN THAT MF" - KOBE/ISAGI
I REALLY LOVE THE ADDITION OS THE THIRD GIRL. She’s hella cool. And really smart
It’s impossible not to fall for Dani!!
Team z: Isagi Yoichi, Bachira Meguru, Chigiri Hyoma, Kunigami Reinsuke, Imamura, Igarashi, Kuon, Raichi, Gagamaru, Naruhaya, Lemon. The blue fire in Isagi's eyes and most characters in this show will have are called "aura eyes".
Ego is probably the most important dude in BL and the one that has the most interesting things to say. Remember that.
CAN'T WAIT FOR NEXT EPISODE REACTION
His voice actor is the same as takechan (the karasuno high school teacher) from haikyuu
The "HYPE" sports anime it's freaking fire!!
In the manga, ego say "F*ck off", not "Lock off"
Nahhhh thats cool
Bachira and Isagi the GOATS!
Ego and Levi is the same VA
Might have to sub to the patreon for this tbh
rip dr stone
It will be there no worries
I find it funny that y’all been watching anime for so long but didn’t know about “anime seasons”. I recently started anime and I just learned about it too
My favorite ladies and one my favorite sports/new anime
Yeaaay...🥳Finally.... Thnks Onee-chan's for reacting one of my fav sport anime...👍🙏❤️
w first sports anime for morgen lol
"outside mid", that how you know they played soccer and not football 😂
Funny how even the words used are so different in the US 😂
Outside mid = winger
Would you watch the opposite of Blue Lock that is Ao Ashi?, is more focused on young development and the strategical side of football.
Playing barefoot is actually feels better, when i was a kid, i played football at the tar road in front of my house, it's not that bad, sepak takraw ball is much harder
FOOTBALL
PLEASE
YES FINALLY YOU GOT TO THIS!!!
Wait a minute?
You lot played football? I had no idea, but I love you even more now haha
omg yes ive been waiting for this
Blue Lock with react pack
Wohoooooo
Oh yes l have been waiting for this❤
Never thought you guys doing blue lock. ✌️

its football ! football ! soccer this sport doesn't exist ! We play the ball with our foot
Best sport anime ever.
Blue Lock is the Squid Games (or Kaiji) of Soccer.
Kobe would’ve dominated blue lock if it was a basketball anime 😂
does anyone know why they take notes while watching?
Shiiiit I wanna binge this!!
Need this
blue lock is the best sports manga! ull love it! (anime is still good)
We're not in Nankatsu anymore, Toto.
its a deconstruction of the team sports genre in a way, can't hate the message
Former Soccer Players who don't know it's very much possible to play soccer with your feet without getting hurt 😕
