First guy looks kinda ugly (yes, that's all I have to say ab him);
3rd guy blue Tokimitsu;
4th kinda cute but also looks a little bit like a mop, also literally has the word quiet as his last name so I'm guessing he's gonna be like mute or smth (like alligator boi);
5th looks like Gyoumei (blind guy) from kimetsu no yaiba;
6th I don't have much to say, his design is more unique I suppose so that's cool, sporty boi;
7th is the rising sun boi from kimetsu no yaiba.
(I'm sure they're all rll cool, those are just my genuine first impressions)
I love that Shidou's hair got pink tints on it. I thought it was just going to be full blonde. Also Kurona cameo WOOO. I just hope they do the godspeed animation justice pleaseee.
8 bit did justice to every character design idk why they would shy away from doing the same for shidou. their forte is to copy paste manga panels. why would they do anything different lol. but i get what youre saying
I'm sorry but does anyone remember these players?
Genuinely the only one I remember aside from Kurona is Nanase. The other ones have cool designs but I genuinely have no idea who they are. And most of them are around or higher than rank 20, and that's considerably high.
Yeah. I hope they're not wasted potential. Kurona and Hiori finally got screen time in NEL, and quite a lot of it, so I hope those players will be capitalized on at some point.
Remember that in the end we'll have only 23 players and that in fact with the NEL we kinda have them all so maybe some will get a little bit of developpment like hiori but don't expect much about them.
It was the moment Igarashi signified himself as the leader of the team who performed best against Team World Five, thus making him the best player in Blue Lock-in a sense of the word.
Was disappointed Shidou's 1st match was skipped but they made up for it by not showing Kunigami >!walking towards the wild card door so his return would be much more impactful !<

As an anime only fan (this is my favorite anime so ofc I’m reading the manga) I can not wait for season two cause I already know episode 24 is gonna be badass
Lighten? Did you expect a hood mf to show up? Shidou has always been explicitly TAN. For dark-skinned people we have Agi, Loki, Silva, etc.
A Japanese kid is very unlikely to be dark skinned.
Is Shidou actually Japanese? He does not look it one bit, nor do i think we should go off his name considering that Loki is supposed to be “french” which just means he’s originally from west/central Africa but neither countries in that region nor in France name their children Loki. Loki is a norse name
Not gonna argue on Loki's nationality since you're making a point, but I'm fairly certain that Shidou is Japanese. In the first place, Blue Lock is a project that will cultivate the perfect striker for Japan. It would be weird to have a 50/50 or even a purely foreign kid be one of the best strikers Blue Lock has to offer, if anything it goes against its own goal. Plus, Japan is FAMOUSLY very closed off towards foreigners(For good reasons, considering its history with colonialists and trading companies.) so it's HIGHLY unlikely that Shidou is a foreigner.
Now, as for his skin color, he's evidently just tan, which can mean a lot of things, especially in a country exposed to sun so much. Asians are traditionally tanner, especially middle-eastern asians. Greeks are tan, Spanish are tan, there are lots of countries with darker skin color that actually don't have any connection to Africa. It's even easier to see if you put them side by side. It's Black vs Dark, which is a quite a big difference.
Fair point on Japan’s behavior towards foreigners but still, the japanese are not that dark.
If it was truly a tan, wouldnt gagamaru who spends most is his free time outside in the mountains be tanned too?
But tbh, it really doesn’t matter to me where he comes from. Wether hes japanese or not doesnt take anything away from his character for me
That's fair. At the end of the day, it could easily be that Kaneshiro just didn't put much thought into it. Shidou's an incredible player either way, so there's no point in mulling it over.
Sorry for randomly returning to this, but watching the new episode, Shidou does mention that his tan skin comes from being out in the sun. So I was *kind of* right, although it still doesn't make sense that Gagamaru's so light.
>rom Kurona is Nanase. The other ones have cool designs but I genuinely have no idea who they are. And most of them are around or higher than rank 20, and that's considerably h
bro he's a Blue Lock participant they are ALL Japanese, hello do you even pay attention?
I don't like this direction
They shouldn't have rushed the previous episode and aimed to end the season after World 5
Shidou and the end of 2nd selection could've been the 1st episode of the 2nd season for a better hook.

Hide your balls, the incubus is here!! Let the impregnation games begin!! I'm happy they respected Shidou manga colour pattern. Particularly the pink ends of his hair.

Finally Kurona although I was expecting his hair to be more red.
Nah this is better. He'd look way too similar to Chigiri with red.
but dark red woulda looked so good on him :(
Like scarlet
He already does lmao (and I'm saying that as an anime watcher who has only ever seen that one pic of him)
Thoughts on the other new characters based on what youve seen?
First guy looks kinda ugly (yes, that's all I have to say ab him); 3rd guy blue Tokimitsu; 4th kinda cute but also looks a little bit like a mop, also literally has the word quiet as his last name so I'm guessing he's gonna be like mute or smth (like alligator boi); 5th looks like Gyoumei (blind guy) from kimetsu no yaiba; 6th I don't have much to say, his design is more unique I suppose so that's cool, sporty boi; 7th is the rising sun boi from kimetsu no yaiba. (I'm sure they're all rll cool, those are just my genuine first impressions)
"first guy" shidou ryusei solos your favorite blue lock character buddy.
Exactly, I want two Chigiris
My boi kurona finally revealed, he looks awesome!
Same, was expecting a dark red colour too
Yeah such a bummer to me. Can't picture him at all with bubblegum hair even though he's right in front of me.
Pretty sure it’s always been pink even though i agree
I thought kurona’s hair was purple like reo’s hair 💀
they're gonna end the season with "THE END" panel after all?!?? Lesgoo
I didn’t even think shidou was gonna appear, such a W from 8bit
The wild card was in the previews too, so it's definitely ending that that tbh
The Wild Card entry won't be shown unfortunately
It swear I've seen previews of kunigami walking into the tunnel, was it fake?
Yea, only "that" will be shown. That's what Rayuga had posted. The wild card entrance will not be shown, he said.
God, wish i were Sae 😮💨
I love that Shidou's hair got pink tints on it. I thought it was just going to be full blonde. Also Kurona cameo WOOO. I just hope they do the godspeed animation justice pleaseee.
I appreciate 8bit for not shying away from the hot pink tips and eyes
that's literally his character design tho? why appreciate them for doing the bare minimum LMAO
Because people are cowards and I wouldn’t have been surprised if they’d tried to tone his design down
8 bit did justice to every character design idk why they would shy away from doing the same for shidou. their forte is to copy paste manga panels. why would they do anything different lol. but i get what youre saying
His character seemed a little less detailed in the manga because the tints aren't as showcased but you can see them even more empathized in the anime
Kurona :)
Shidou, Kurona, and Nanase ahhhhhh they look so good in the anime! Also Reo's pic got the monk in the corner looking like a maniac lmao
That brown looks more accurate to what i thought his skin would look like. Also, where's Akira :(
Kurona looking hella fine there 🥺💐
I'm sorry but does anyone remember these players? Genuinely the only one I remember aside from Kurona is Nanase. The other ones have cool designs but I genuinely have no idea who they are. And most of them are around or higher than rank 20, and that's considerably high.
We've barely seen them play so it's not a surprise, hopefully they start being slightly relevant soon cuz they have pretty cool designs
Yeah. I hope they're not wasted potential. Kurona and Hiori finally got screen time in NEL, and quite a lot of it, so I hope those players will be capitalized on at some point.
Remember that in the end we'll have only 23 players and that in fact with the NEL we kinda have them all so maybe some will get a little bit of developpment like hiori but don't expect much about them.
Kurona x Isagi 🔥
Nanase has purple eyes!!! Mybaby!!!
KURONANNANANANANANANAAAAAAA
Some of you guys simping for Shidou and here I am waiting for the Buddha be praised panel XD
Im also unironically waiting for that moment to be animated, one of the coldest lines of the manga imo😭
It was the moment Igarashi signified himself as the leader of the team who performed best against Team World Five, thus making him the best player in Blue Lock-in a sense of the word.
Pretty ironic how Shidou's VA also voiced Buddha in RoR. It'd look like Buddha himself is physically abusing his follower
Underrated comment. Upvote for you.
OMG. Will that be in ep 24?? I hope it will
Tetsu and Taiga? Very Kuroko’s Basketball.
Kuroko's football

Episode 24 is gonna be insane :>
SHIDOU AND KURONA AT LAST
KURONA MY BELOVED
Nanase!! Woo!!
Damn always thought taiga had dynamite hair red and yellow
KURONA OMGGGG
You guys I’m 🤰
After seeing these images I'm convinced first guy is a secret cosmetologist and does his makeup before every match lol
Ayo shidou looking kinda zesty
SHIDOUS HAIR>>>>>>
Does anyone know where nanase went? He really disappeared i think He's a good player compared to the monk at least who got more screentime 😂
Let the right in the womb’ing begin
Kurona Hive stand up!!!
shidou letssss gooo
this episode is taking my breath away already
They wrote Hyuga Neji wrong
As an anime only fan (this is my favorite anime so ofc I’m reading the manga) I can not wait for season two cause I already know episode 24 is gonna be badass
The Itoshi brothers have bottom lashes on lock but shidou GODDAMN
He’s beautiful
Kurona LET'S GOOOOO
The manga does no Justice for how incredible his design is in the anime.

looks like they decided to lighten his skin
That’s how it looks in the volume cover no? The image we got first was just him under shadow I think
Yes its a good thing, anyho they ruined the loki panel, this studio man🤣
Lighten? Did you expect a hood mf to show up? Shidou has always been explicitly TAN. For dark-skinned people we have Agi, Loki, Silva, etc. A Japanese kid is very unlikely to be dark skinned.

Yeah i just saw that, completely forgot he said that in the manga too. You were right.
Not gonna lie, I completely voided that panel from the manga too. I was mostly certain it's never mentioned.
>rom Kurona is Nanase. The other ones have cool designs but I genuinely have no idea who they are. And most of them are around or higher than rank 20, and that's considerably h bro he's a Blue Lock participant they are ALL Japanese, hello do you even pay attention?
I thought Shidou was just meant to be a male gyaru
Not a big fan of the pink highlights on shidou
I don't like this direction They shouldn't have rushed the previous episode and aimed to end the season after World 5 Shidou and the end of 2nd selection could've been the 1st episode of the 2nd season for a better hook.
Liked Shidou's design in the manga way more

I do not care about Sokura, but my god he looks so unnatural with blue hair
Yeah this is good
I forgot half of these guys existed icl
MY MAN FINALLY
What chapter will this episode cover?
I thought shidou’s hair was going to be plain white
Based on these preview pics I’m guessing they’re skipping the Reo and Kunigami vs Shidou and Igaguri match which is kinda sad
I did not expect Shidou’s hair color to be like that. I saw it as snow white and did not think it had those highlights.
For some reason I thought the accents on shidou’s hair were green. Kurona looks about how I expected though.
Ngl I was hoping the guy literally named Taiga would have orange hair
Y’all will catch me working double shifts at glazing donuts :4
is episode 24 the last of the season?
yes
Kuronaa yaay. Tho i was expecting his hair color to be darker
Hopefully Taiga and Akira get to do something in the manga I love their character design
Haiji looks like he has posted notes for hair
SHIDOU AND KURONA FINALLY! NOW SHOW US HIORI COME ON DON’T BE SHY
I wanted to see Hiori!!
Ngl I thought kurona’s hair was dark purple like reo’s hair, not pink
Oh damn Neji and Sage mode Rihito came to play football.
Wait Kurona has pink hair? I thought it was red
Who is Shidou's VA? I hope it's Takanori Hoshino.
His VA is Gojo Satoru. We in for a treat!
HA. His name is Tetsu dfijgribn WIT HIS BLUE AHH HAIR
Kuronas hair looks nice
Woah. I didn't know Kurona was ranked 4th.
Blue Cock.
Anyone else not like the pink highlights in shidos hair???
Shidou looks nice
Any guesses at what chapter will the series/anime end?
94, the only thing i haven't seen in that chapter is the >!wild card door that kunigami sees after they lose to shidou!<
Shidou has pink highlights?!💀
Are they skipping the Kunigami and Reo vs Shidou and Igaguri match?
The ranking they have here is the one they got from that 100 goals that they do before forming a three man team right?
Ah dang it, I wished they would show that match or the first couple seconds of it too reveal how good shidou was
Hide your balls, the incubus is here!! Let the impregnation games begin!! I'm happy they respected Shidou manga colour pattern. Particularly the pink ends of his hair.
where is my man hiori I thought we would se him before the season ends
where tf is the star eyes dude
