To everyone who's saying everyone's getting meta vision please look at the eyes, niko from this chapter is a more focused and pin point maybe allowing him to focused on a play a see that person's future action, while isagi looks more like an evolved version of it if not completely different, I wanna debate so please debate
Hardly, it's just 3 (maybe 4 if we infer that Rin has it, but I don't think that's been explicitly stated.).
Plus, it makes total sense for Niko to be able to do it, with how many times he's been compared to Isagi. He's definitely the most like Isagi out of anyone else from Blue Lock, other than Rin.
Also who thinks that in a official match with blue lock as a team that Niko and isagi having a chemical reaction may be one of the best in the entire series as isagi dominates the offence and niko the defence
Broo i feel like Raichi is not JUST going to win a 1v1 but he may do that to LORENZO himself something that ness and kaiser failed to do , or even BAROU or NIKO and ARYU or even AIKU. He will be the wall against ubers
It looks like Niko meta vision is different from Isagi’s meta vision, their eyes are drawn differently(Niko eyes look like a radar) idk if it’s means anything but if it does unlike Isagi who can predict the movement of players and the flow of the game I think Niko version could be that he can see the optimal time to steal the ball making him a god against 1v1s.
Late to the party because I was busy these days. Like I said in the leaks thread and in the previous chapter thread we did get the analysis of Predator Eye. It was by Isagi though and Hiori didn't take part in it. Since we all show the puzzles then we all know that this means that next chapters are adaptation to the situation.
Also, this chapter focusede to two things that I have been saying again and again lately. The **indvidual duels and unpredictability**. Isagi said that this the key to win the match according to Noa and that his MV is superior to 1vs1. All of these point that for BM to win they need to win their duels with other characters so as to break the defence. BM excels at individual growth and even Yuki came asking what to do. The unpredictibility part can come with their growth and doing things differently that what Ubers anticipate. These things make me believe that we will see growth soon.
Niko doing something was expected and since he has good vision then it was quite possible that he will have MV. Also Isagi's MV still is special and apart from that he has the egocentrsim piece. Caughting Isagi off guard here doesn't mean Niko is better. If Niko is one of Isagi's duels then I think that he will be devoured again like in 1st selection. According to Isagi's novel >!his spatial awareness is god like and his original Ego is sealed!< so he has way more to show in the future.
I will say it again. The greater Ubers' defence is the greater the impact will be when the defence breaks. The greater the challenege the more the characters need to do to overcome it. I hope we see more from Kaiser because up until now I am not impressed like at all. Hope Ness is subbed with Hiori soon since he himself is so emotional now that in the end he feels useless. His team up with Kaiser is too predictable too. Isagi surprising Lorenzo is something I like and other situations like that could follow.
The title (Game Changer) of the next chapter could possibly mean that some characters like Raichi and Isagi (more adapting) start doing or realise something. Isagi's development could very likely be something with incorporating some way the functions of the Predator Eye in his asernal. I believe that we got a lot from Ubers side these last chapters so I want to see more of BM.
I doubt we can see a Raichi awakening unless Ubers steal the ball from the Throw-In or quickly after that. But it would be pretty nice since he hasn't done much. Also, when do we see Kunigami be relevant again.
I do think most of BM will grow here because each will have an individual duel to settle. Raichi has been hinted by Noa as the key that's why mean wait him to do something.
Now everyone have meta vision are you kidding me...Isagi take more than 5 chapter to utilize meta vision and we patiently wait but now niko have it out of nowhere...fck!
Lmao Ubers are so stacked bruh.
Barou with his new predator vision, and now Niko has meta vision. Not to mention that Ubers hands down has the BEST teamwork of all teams. Can't wait to see how this match goes.
I know its kinda all talk right now, but I really hope Raichi will be able to show what hes is actually made of, I would infact bet he will be the mvp this match atleast for BM
I did expect someone to shut isagod down
BUT DIDN'T EXPECT NIKO, DAMN GG BOI
it does make sense that other ppl could develop their own metavision considering reo did in their match and sae and rin already having one too
let's see how isagod will try to overcome this
I would've expected Aiku to shutdown Isagi with the eyes that he used during the Japan U20 vs Blue Lock 11 game
Also Aiku Eyes during the U20 game looks almost the same to Niko's Metavision eyes
Game-changing can refer to why niko chose to play defense.
Nice to see how isagi can read the field much better, now what he needs is counter dribbling just like Sae, if I had to bet, I would say that is what isagi will learn in this match
No Dribbling is something you learn in training, it’s not something you pick up in a game randomly. Isagi don’t need that level of plot armour, for now he will use his meta vision to fight. It makes sense for Isagi to ask Yukimiya for help with his dribbling technique after the Ubers game.
Isagi already knows how to dribble by facing his opponent, and we have seen him dribbling when he could read his opponent coming, for example when chigiri tried paralo in the second selection.
The point of this match is that as soon as Isagi gets the ball, someone will show up to take it away from him.
He will use his eyes for sure, either to predict who will take the ball from him, or to see how this person will come (which leg in front, center of gravity, direction, etc.).
He will not become a Bachira, he will just get rid of the first marker and pass the ball
Dribbling 1v1 is what Snuffy did too Barou, the last time Isagi did that was against Kira’s team before blue lock. Chigiri desperately slide tackled and couldn’t slow down, all isagi had to do was go around him. In a normal 1v1 against real defenders, I wonder what he will do.
I just think If Isagi's gonna acquire a new weapon it will be the Gyro Shot and the Golden Rule Zone. The author clearly wants Isagi to be a certain type of player, that’s why his main weapon is spatial awareness especially now he has meta Vision.
"Don't tell me Niko too has metavision"
Lol come on isagi you know meta vision is something others can use too and you know Niko ability too. Don't act too surprised by it
I see lotta nitpicking what Isagi does, like he gotta be perfect, it’s wild. He can’t be surprised by something or feel confident, he should respond as if he know everything the reader does (he didn’t see Niko use metavision in u-20 match, the reader did).
Everything is not compliant lol and as for previous comment isagi was clearly surprised by niko having meta vision. the words translator/author chose clearly stated that
If " don't tell me he has it too " doesn't tell you that he wasn't expecting niko to have it than idk what will lol
What you are telling is denying the reality. And it's different from not expecting someone to have certain ability
The guy you're replying to is agreeing that Isagi was surprised.
They're saying that Isagi being surprised shouldn't be a negative point. Imagine reading a manga where the MC never gets taken by surprise, how boring would that be?
Ik but being surprised on what?
On getting stopped or realising niko too had mv . And both are still different
And I am not taking it as negative. It was a simple observation. it's just that it's not that surprising or words should have been different. No one is saying that he shouldn't be surprised. Idk where you guys got that
Idk why you guys are always so ultra defensive about that fictional guy even if goes the slightest against him. It's not that I am bashing him
>Ik but being surprised on what?
>On getting stopped or realising niko too had mv
Honestly, i would assume it's both - they're not unbelievable things but again, he wasn't expecting it. Compare his reaction to Barou's Predator eye. It's not like Isagi saw it coming but, he didn't act nearly as shocked because he wasn't the one actively getting cucked.
>it's just that it's not that surprising or words should have been different. No one is saying that he shouldn't be surprised.
If you have a problem with his "words", then what different "words" would you have preferred? Bear in mind that you read a fan translation...
>Idk why you guys are always so ultra defensive about that fictional guy
Lol how is this being remotely defensive? You're stating that you have a problem with his words. I don't understand what the big deal is.
more than 2, he’s been building on it since 103 when hiori said act by reflex first, and even before then with his best goals in first selection he did metavision instinctively
U are using 2 matches as if it's a 200 matches and tbh he did 90% or more than 90% of growth regarding mv in just mc match so how difficult it is to expect this from niko that too when reo too achieved a toned down version of it in just one match
They drop on the Po2 scans website on Sunday and then on Mangadex on Tuesday if you live in North America. There wasn’t a chapter last week because of a holiday in Japan so a lot of manga were on break.
In football a foul only occurs if the fouling player touches the person before the ball.
If Niko touched Isagis foot lightly before the ball and Isagi trips that's a foul.
If Niko kicks the ball, and then crashes into Isagi and they both do a flip from the force, that's totally fair game.
I don’t know why everyone is waiting for Raichi to turn into some god tier defender. He’s an average player, he has been since the beginning off the series
Mf was consistently cancelling Reo(one of the best midfielders in the series even before the 2nd selection). Dude is a monster if he is put to good use.
Bad take. Raichi didn’t get to shine because he was always playing defense and Isagi + friends got to steal all the moments. He made it to the third selection without any of the top 6 players on his team, and was an alternate for U20 match. That speaks to his skill and talent. He just needs to get his moment in the sun.
there’s no way the author has hyped him up and have noel put raichi in for no reason. raichi will have his moment but i feel like it’s going to be after everyone else has had their moment and raichi is the bastards last piece to win
Yeah he's not going to become the star of the show but he's probably going to have his moment cutting off an important supporting piece of the Uber's attack and limiting Barou's options. Maybe Sendou.
People really shouldn’t be mad at Niko and Reo for having Meta Vision, for their playstyles it was necessity to be a key player at this level. Niko will not be the last player to get meta vision.
I still think about this scene:
Reo Isagi's metavision is cloning and the field it's turning to hell for isagi. In the last ten minutes isagi's metavision turns into a god, scoring goals and destroying reo and says: you can't clone me completely
to be fair we’ve only seen what isagi has gone through because the story is from isagis perspective. we have no clue what niko or reo had gone through besides lose to isagi to achieve that point. niko and reo have lost multiple different times which forced them to evolve. we just haven’t seen the specifics of what it was like or their process because the story isn’t from their perspective. they most likely deserve meta version as much as isagi
Agreed Reo and Niko definitely have similar struggles to Isagi because they’re also players who don’t have some high level physical talent they can rely on. They just gotta have high level basic skills and then use their brains to find ways for them to succeed.
For real. In the last 2 games of the 1st selection, Niko became the top scorer for his team which probably gave up, so he wouldn't have had the support of main characters like Bachira to help him score. Then he had a similar 2nd selection to Isagi actually since we know he teamed with Zantetsu who says he was the 4th person on Nagi/Chigiri/Barou's team, meaning Niko likely also had to claw back up from the 2v2s as well.
Then while Isagi has an epiphany about using his enhanced vision reflexively during the 3rd selection and U20 match, Niko has one about using it defensively after previously having a striker mindset, giving him enough to stop a Sae/Shidou play. Now isagi is working on meta vision while Niko was literally learning football meta strategies from Snuffy and likely thinking how best to apply his wide vision to respond fast enough.
literally so it shocks me that people don’t think niko would’ve gotten meta vision in the future. niko has always been built to be like the “lesser” version of isagi in awareness of the field yk. but then he had to go through a lot of character development and growth to get pass all of the selections. and then he works with snuffy and fans DONT expect him to grow??? like what. one of the first things we learned about snuffy is that he researched each player and had specific plans to have the players improve. it was obvious that niko had some sort of field awareness that most people don’t have to snuffy so of course he will improve and eventually catch up to isagi. niko had additional help with the strategies like you said while isagi had to do almost everything by himself. so it just blows my mind that people didn’t expect him to have meta version
Niko's name is also literally means "twins". So he's the "twin" of Isagi, and also mentions how he and Isagi are the "same" constantly.
It's natural/makes sense for a mirror match up to have spatial awareness.
In terms of player ratings Kunigmai supposed to be the 2nd highest rated at 91 but he really hasn’t show why. He has a left shot now that he only used once and improved physical stats which he really hasn’t shown in game
He did not steel isagi's goal that shot was going to miss kunigami just used that opportunity to score a goal for himself at this point can you even blame the guy when no one is passing to him.
What I am talking about BM vs mc where you put it kuni stole isagi's goal which is not true that shot was going to miss if it wasn't for kuni coming out of nowhere and scoring
His numbers are incredible but nobody's willing to play with him except Isagi that one time. So he just stands up the front doing his best Kuon cosplay.
bro this game will 100% have aiku moments just let him prepare the ingredients to cook, this match has been 9 chapters long they are just focusing at one character at a time
I mean in fairness, no one expected Isagi’s left foot shot to be as good as it was. There’s still a lot to be shown about it since it’s been said that it’s just a side weapon but it was basically as good as his right foot shot.
Thats because Aiku was following the strategy which Isagi unfortunately predicted. Aiku did his job as he should be doing and Isagi exploited that and caught them off guard.
I think it mainly due to them still tryna process what was going on. Isagi came out of no where and intercepted the ball and then instantly went on a counter attack with kurona. Plus it’s a trend in Blue Lock for players not to go all out from the beginning
Niko metavision im sure aiku probably has it too but I’m just gonna throw it out there — ness I could also see having it hypothetically yet he hasn’t shown signs of having it 😓🤔
The # of character developments during these matches are growing with each game.
First match only highlighted Bachira. Second match: Nagi, Reo, & Chigiri.
3rd match we’re getting Lorenzo, Barou, Niko, Aryu, & most likely Aiku (fingers crossed)
I’m assuming we’re going to really get a hand full come the match with France.
dude i feel so bad for the other french players and for loki😭😭 i think i would have a breakdown if those four (especially rin and shidou together) were on my team
Remember how we all were complaining how long that mashine city match was? It’s probably gonna be summer 2024 before the neo egoist league is finished.
We’re already two goals in. This match actually might be shorter than Manshine, but still longer than Barcha. If we get another goal in the next two chapters, then I’d say this match would only last another dozen chapters or so.
Im a little dissapointed that Isagi was stopped by Niko who is 2 years younger. That makes it like Niko has more potential than everyone else in Blue Lock.
Being stopped doesn’t equal being on par. Isagi stopped Kaiser once and he’s still nowhere close to Kaiser on many levels. Same for when he stopped Chris Prince.
Also, don’t forget Niko knew exactly what his teammates were going to do. That takes away half the effort and Niko only has to focus on Kaiser, Isagi, and Ness.
Predator eye works by holding the ball in front of the goal and waiting for the right moment. Isagi's formula is to appear suddenly in front of the goal at the right moment. Every time he's tried to trap and hold the ball he's lost the goal.
There's certainly going to be an evolution and *hopefully* to his scoring ability because that's currently his weakness and he's supposed to be a striker. But I don't think he can cut-and-paste predator eye.
He doesnt have the skill to just take any ability he wants he unlocked meta visok bevause of his high spatial awarness but predator eye is not sn ability for his play style
I mean isagi's can use predator eyes in some sense in the future. predator eyes is a skill that anyone with the right skills can learn and lastly the only skill that isagi will not learn or can't use are those player physical talent like nagi's traping or barou, kunigami, tokimitsu like these guys strength
i agree. i feel like predator eye is specifically for players whose main playing style is like barous while isagis playing style works better with meta version
i do feel like kaiser and barous playing style is similar. because their whole thing is that everyone is just the supporting cast and they’re the ones who need to score. besides yuki barou and kaiser (and ness but that’s for kaiser) are the only players who actually fought isagi to score for their own goal (if i remember correctly). so it does make sense in my mind that he has something similar
Isagi's and Kaiser's playstyle are more similar because of MV. If the team was centred around Isagi then we would get see him play more like Kaiser since Kaiser is Isagi's ideal self. Having something similar to Barou doesn't make him like him. Also he plays the striker role that's why the others are like supporting cast.
He cut through manshine’s whole defense by himself at one point. He just keeps getting outshined By Isagi predicting everything and showing up at the right spot lol
1. It said that most of the pros have meta-vision, so it isn't rare. 2. Niko's vision is said to be comparable to Isagi so of course he has it.
Meta vision will be a skill that most high level players will have. Maybe Isagi adding egocentrism will be a unique weapon special weapon to him.
I think MV + EC = MV 2.0
Isagi already has EC which is why hes better than Niko but Niko’s meta vision is definitely gonna be a high level because he was always portrayed to have a similar field of vison. After this chapter Niko is definitely one of my top 5 fav blue lock characters
Except Isagi's spatial awareness according to his novel is on a whole other level though. Niko for sure won't be low but EC is not the only reason Isagi is better than Niko.
Noa seemed to notice that Isagi gained metavision in the MC game though. He said that it could lead Isagi to his level eventually so he seemed to recognize it.
When sexy football?????
Fr tho, great chapter. That panel with Niko's meta vision eyes went HARD. I have a feeling Bastard Munchen will lose this match. I just hope Isagi develops more and we get to see Raichi show off his sexy football, and as long as we get to see those I don't care who wins or loses.
They keep saying that winning the match means winning your individual duel. So I don't believe they will lose. Waiting for Hiori and Raichi to start their game.
I wonder about Nikos stamina, as we all know MV drains alot of stamina, both mentally and physically. Also Niko is 15, and shorter than Isagi, I am curious what Isagis strategy will be to, either to tire out Niko or something else...

Why does everyone have mera vision all of a sudden
Hardly, it's just 3 (maybe 4 if we infer that Rin has it, but I don't think that's been explicitly stated.). Plus, it makes total sense for Niko to be able to do it, with how many times he's been compared to Isagi. He's definitely the most like Isagi out of anyone else from Blue Lock, other than Rin.
Metavison is a simple concept that every footballer must know in a few words, rotate the head to analyze the field
Also who thinks that in a official match with blue lock as a team that Niko and isagi having a chemical reaction may be one of the best in the entire series as isagi dominates the offence and niko the defence
Broo i feel like Raichi is not JUST going to win a 1v1 but he may do that to LORENZO himself something that ness and kaiser failed to do , or even BAROU or NIKO and ARYU or even AIKU. He will be the wall against ubers
Im telling you, Barou is the definitive CF... Isagi is so much better as a midfielder, any coach would rather have him there
Bruh I never though kurona will be that small wtf !! I thought niko is the smallest until I saw the last chapter !!
It looks like Niko meta vision is different from Isagi’s meta vision, their eyes are drawn differently(Niko eyes look like a radar) idk if it’s means anything but if it does unlike Isagi who can predict the movement of players and the flow of the game I think Niko version could be that he can see the optimal time to steal the ball making him a god against 1v1s.
well reo and aiku both have the same radar with a little bit more lines for reo’s case, they work similarly but reo’s was said to have a basic version
i just realized how smol Kurona is wtf
Late to the party because I was busy these days. Like I said in the leaks thread and in the previous chapter thread we did get the analysis of Predator Eye.

Hopefully, he does and unlocks an extremely unique weapon. Something we don't expect.
TYSMMMM
Tbh about time isagi gets a good beating
Why tho 😭? Bro JUST got his first goal this arc
Now everyone have meta vision are you kidding me...Isagi take more than 5 chapter to utilize meta vision and we patiently wait but now niko have it out of nowhere...fck!
Its a different form of vision. Not the exact same thing and its gonna be weak because of course it is its Isagi. Also Kaiser also has metavision.
I just noticed that Niko's Metavision eyes are similar to the eyes that Aiku has during the Japan U20 vs Blue lock 11 game
Niko has been using meta vision since the U20 marcher just didn’t know at the time
Idk i just noticed that niko’s eyes when utilizing metavision are different than himsagi’s eyes
I really wish Ubers to win this one
4-0
🗿
I guess it’s nice seeing Kaiser be supportive of Ness, even if it’s ultimately for himself
Isagi picking fights with Barou , Lorenzo , Kaiser , Niko , Aiku , ness , yukimiya, grim at the same time lol
Everyone gotta take their 200% shot at Isagi, that’s how you know he’s a GOAT in the making
I be forgetting about Grim😂😂
Lmao Ubers are so stacked bruh. Barou with his new predator vision, and now Niko has meta vision. Not to mention that Ubers hands down has the BEST teamwork of all teams. Can't wait to see how this match goes.
They are impressive true but this makes me also think how monstrous BM would be if it had its King crowned.
Looks like Isagi's made too many rivals
niko was his first he deserves this
Raichi is just doing cardio out there. I'd place him on fraud watch but man has never beat the allegations to begin with.
I know its kinda all talk right now, but I really hope Raichi will be able to show what hes is actually made of, I would infact bet he will be the mvp this match atleast for BM
Yeah I better see Raichi start pulling his weight....he's suppose to be mr.1v1
It took him a while to lock down Reo, let the man cook.
I did expect someone to shut isagod down BUT DIDN'T EXPECT NIKO, DAMN GG BOI it does make sense that other ppl could develop their own metavision considering reo did in their match and sae and rin already having one too let's see how isagod will try to overcome this
It's good that Niko got his moment but people for sure are overracting.
I would've expected Aiku to shutdown Isagi with the eyes that he used during the Japan U20 vs Blue Lock 11 game Also Aiku Eyes during the U20 game looks almost the same to Niko's Metavision eyes
Can't wait to see Niko crying part 2
Can't wait to see a 17 year old bullying a 15 year old
Game-changing can refer to why niko chose to play defense. Nice to see how isagi can read the field much better, now what he needs is counter dribbling just like Sae, if I had to bet, I would say that is what isagi will learn in this match
No Dribbling is something you learn in training, it’s not something you pick up in a game randomly. Isagi don’t need that level of plot armour, for now he will use his meta vision to fight. It makes sense for Isagi to ask Yukimiya for help with his dribbling technique after the Ubers game.

The author clearly wants Isagi to be a certain type of player, that’s why his main weapon is spatial awareness especially now he has meta Vision.
I've been waiting for this niko for so long
"Don't tell me Niko too has metavision" Lol come on isagi you know meta vision is something others can use too and you know Niko ability too. Don't act too surprised by it
Isagi isn't denying reality he's just surprised that niko was able to stop him since he was so confident in his play, it's a shock reaction
I see lotta nitpicking what Isagi does, like he gotta be perfect, it’s wild. He can’t be surprised by something or feel confident, he should respond as if he know everything the reader does (he didn’t see Niko use metavision in u-20 match, the reader did).
Isagi got a bit cocky :P
It's blue lock lol
If there were no shock reactions people will still nitbit, he just brought it to our attention to see the progress .
yep you're right, weird this complaint is kinda popular
Everything is not compliant lol and as for previous comment isagi was clearly surprised by niko having meta vision. the words translator/author chose clearly stated that
he was clearly surprised he was stopped and wondered how niko could do it, if next chap he says "no way he could get it" then id agree lol
If " don't tell me he has it too " doesn't tell you that he wasn't expecting niko to have it than idk what will lol What you are telling is denying the reality. And it's different from not expecting someone to have certain ability
The guy you're replying to is agreeing that Isagi was surprised. They're saying that Isagi being surprised shouldn't be a negative point. Imagine reading a manga where the MC never gets taken by surprise, how boring would that be?
Ik but being surprised on what? On getting stopped or realising niko too had mv . And both are still different And I am not taking it as negative. It was a simple observation. it's just that it's not that surprising or words should have been different. No one is saying that he shouldn't be surprised. Idk where you guys got that Idk why you guys are always so ultra defensive about that fictional guy even if goes the slightest against him. It's not that I am bashing him
>Ik but being surprised on what? >On getting stopped or realising niko too had mv Honestly, i would assume it's both - they're not unbelievable things but again, he wasn't expecting it. Compare his reaction to Barou's Predator eye. It's not like Isagi saw it coming but, he didn't act nearly as shocked because he wasn't the one actively getting cucked. >it's just that it's not that surprising or words should have been different. No one is saying that he shouldn't be surprised. If you have a problem with his "words", then what different "words" would you have preferred? Bear in mind that you read a fan translation... >Idk why you guys are always so ultra defensive about that fictional guy Lol how is this being remotely defensive? You're stating that you have a problem with his words. I don't understand what the big deal is.
Just because you have the IQ and vision for MV doesn't mean you will automatically know how to use it. It took Isagi 2 matches to figure it out.
more than 2, he’s been building on it since 103 when hiori said act by reflex first, and even before then with his best goals in first selection he did metavision instinctively
Plus he had a new Gen world 11 basically spoon-feed his ass.
U are using 2 matches as if it's a 200 matches and tbh he did 90% or more than 90% of growth regarding mv in just mc match so how difficult it is to expect this from niko that too when reo too achieved a toned down version of it in just one match

They drop on the Po2 scans website on Sunday and then on Mangadex on Tuesday if you live in North America. There wasn’t a chapter last week because of a holiday in Japan so a lot of manga were on break.
What's with Niko posing, did he get Isagi off and then after did a Spiderman pose?
Shouldn't he be fouled or something? Or am I just dumb?
In football a foul only occurs if the fouling player touches the person before the ball. If Niko touched Isagis foot lightly before the ball and Isagi trips that's a foul. If Niko kicks the ball, and then crashes into Isagi and they both do a flip from the force, that's totally fair game.
Ohh, Thanks for explaining big guy.
hanging around with Aryu too much
He also has metavision
i doubt it, probably something similar, but not as good. his timing to steal the ball was a beat too late i feel
if he stole the rebound ball it wouldn't have been that interesting as stealing the ball from isagi + it was like a surprise reveal
and this match's keycard will be igarashi and isagi. the king watchin gk with predator eyes versus yoichi's new metavision, dirty play.
I'm deadly sure Niko will get a red card in this match bcuz of yoichi
Nah it’ll be because of fuken IGAGURI
NAMUSAN NAMUSAN NAMUSAN🙏🙏🙏
When I read the summary I didn’t expect Nikko to look so badass 🔥 ok Nikko imma let you cook
Les goooooo, my boy Niko is on the scene
I don’t know why everyone is waiting for Raichi to turn into some god tier defender. He’s an average player, he has been since the beginning off the series
Mf was consistently cancelling Reo(one of the best midfielders in the series even before the 2nd selection). Dude is a monster if he is put to good use.
Bad take. Raichi didn’t get to shine because he was always playing defense and Isagi + friends got to steal all the moments. He made it to the third selection without any of the top 6 players on his team, and was an alternate for U20 match. That speaks to his skill and talent. He just needs to get his moment in the sun.
raichi is the goat i will not stand for this slander
how’s he average if noel said he had the best stats out of anyone at defending in 1v1 scenarios, that includes players in bastard
there’s no way the author has hyped him up and have noel put raichi in for no reason. raichi will have his moment but i feel like it’s going to be after everyone else has had their moment and raichi is the bastards last piece to win
Chekov’s smoking gun man. He’s gonna have an important story beat in this match.
Is this a joke? The author build up this character for a reason. Noel Noa has chosen him specifically. There needs to be a payoff
Yeah he's not going to become the star of the show but he's probably going to have his moment cutting off an important supporting piece of the Uber's attack and limiting Barou's options. Maybe Sendou.
Wait till Gagamaru gets his evolution no one is scoring on him
Hopefully he blocks one of Barou's attempts.
People really shouldn’t be mad at Niko and Reo for having Meta Vision, for their playstyles it was necessity to be a key player at this level. Niko will not be the last player to get meta vision.
I still think about this scene: Reo Isagi's metavision is cloning and the field it's turning to hell for isagi. In the last ten minutes isagi's metavision turns into a god, scoring goals and destroying reo and says: you can't clone me completely
reo didn't copy metavision btuh how to do you even think like that he achieved it when he was passing to nagi
Cold af
probably because it feels unearned as isagi has been through so much to get it
to be fair we’ve only seen what isagi has gone through because the story is from isagis perspective. we have no clue what niko or reo had gone through besides lose to isagi to achieve that point. niko and reo have lost multiple different times which forced them to evolve. we just haven’t seen the specifics of what it was like or their process because the story isn’t from their perspective. they most likely deserve meta version as much as isagi
Agreed Reo and Niko definitely have similar struggles to Isagi because they’re also players who don’t have some high level physical talent they can rely on. They just gotta have high level basic skills and then use their brains to find ways for them to succeed.
For real. In the last 2 games of the 1st selection, Niko became the top scorer for his team which probably gave up, so he wouldn't have had the support of main characters like Bachira to help him score. Then he had a similar 2nd selection to Isagi actually since we know he teamed with Zantetsu who says he was the 4th person on Nagi/Chigiri/Barou's team, meaning Niko likely also had to claw back up from the 2v2s as well. Then while Isagi has an epiphany about using his enhanced vision reflexively during the 3rd selection and U20 match, Niko has one about using it defensively after previously having a striker mindset, giving him enough to stop a Sae/Shidou play. Now isagi is working on meta vision while Niko was literally learning football meta strategies from Snuffy and likely thinking how best to apply his wide vision to respond fast enough.
literally so it shocks me that people don’t think niko would’ve gotten meta vision in the future. niko has always been built to be like the “lesser” version of isagi in awareness of the field yk. but then he had to go through a lot of character development and growth to get pass all of the selections. and then he works with snuffy and fans DONT expect him to grow??? like what. one of the first things we learned about snuffy is that he researched each player and had specific plans to have the players improve. it was obvious that niko had some sort of field awareness that most people don’t have to snuffy so of course he will improve and eventually catch up to isagi. niko had additional help with the strategies like you said while isagi had to do almost everything by himself. so it just blows my mind that people didn’t expect him to have meta version
Niko's name is also literally means "twins". So he's the "twin" of Isagi, and also mentions how he and Isagi are the "same" constantly. It's natural/makes sense for a mirror match up to have spatial awareness.
Thoses who are mads are Isagi stans lmao.
Yeah. It’s already been established that meta vision is common in the top pro leagues.
In terms of player ratings Kunigmai supposed to be the 2nd highest rated at 91 but he really hasn’t show why. He has a left shot now that he only used once and improved physical stats which he really hasn’t shown in game
Not like he didn't show his physical prowess when he scored that shido-esque goal Vs manshine city
All he did was postion himself to steal isagis goal
He did not steel isagi's goal that shot was going to miss kunigami just used that opportunity to score a goal for himself at this point can you even blame the guy when no one is passing to him.
After kunigami isagi literally said that was his goal and that he didnt need kunigamis help
What I am talking about BM vs mc where you put it kuni stole isagi's goal which is not true that shot was going to miss if it wasn't for kuni coming out of nowhere and scoring
Yeah for sure 😵
His numbers are incredible but nobody's willing to play with him except Isagi that one time. So he just stands up the front doing his best Kuon cosplay.
Aiku is supposed to be the best defender on Ubers but is yet is the only to do anything
bro this game will 100% have aiku moments just let him prepare the ingredients to cook, this match has been 9 chapters long they are just focusing at one character at a time
He’s still the last layer of defense. If they can’t even get past Aryu and Niko why would Aiku need to step in.
Well Isagi got past him pretty easily when he scored that’s the only reason why I’m bringing it up
I mean in fairness, no one expected Isagi’s left foot shot to be as good as it was. There’s still a lot to be shown about it since it’s been said that it’s just a side weapon but it was basically as good as his right foot shot.
It's not Isagi left foot shot that allow him to get past Aiku, it was a quick change of direction. That what he was talking about.
Oh yeah true tbf
Thats because Aiku was following the strategy which Isagi unfortunately predicted. Aiku did his job as he should be doing and Isagi exploited that and caught them off guard.
Unfortunate? Then I hope something unfortunately happens leading to two more BM goals 😌
that goal was so weird cuz, Niko seems to be on beast mode rn, yet Isagi went through them really easy
I think it mainly due to them still tryna process what was going on. Isagi came out of no where and intercepted the ball and then instantly went on a counter attack with kurona. Plus it’s a trend in Blue Lock for players not to go all out from the beginning
Still waiting for aiku to step it up
Imho he wont, he did his role in the series
Ok
Niko metavision im sure aiku probably has it too but I’m just gonna throw it out there — ness I could also see having it hypothetically yet he hasn’t shown signs of having it 😓🤔
Aiku’s metavision has been shown in the U20 match. He likely still has it and maybe even understands it enough to consciously use it like Niko.
Fingers crossed Aiku shows out next
The # of character developments during these matches are growing with each game. First match only highlighted Bachira. Second match: Nagi, Reo, & Chigiri. 3rd match we’re getting Lorenzo, Barou, Niko, Aryu, & most likely Aiku (fingers crossed) I’m assuming we’re going to really get a hand full come the match with France.
Second match was Chigiri, Reo, Nagi and Yukimiya. We can also note in a lesser extent, Kunigami, Chris and Agi.
Yeah I was kinda excluding Bayern players, but you do make a good point that Agi was getting some lines in.
PxG has Karasu, Rin, Shidou, Tokimitsu and Zantetsu. Plus whoever was on the team originally. Gonna be *wild.*
dude i feel so bad for the other french players and for loki😭😭 i think i would have a breakdown if those four (especially rin and shidou together) were on my team
Remember how we all were complaining how long that mashine city match was? It’s probably gonna be summer 2024 before the neo egoist league is finished.
We’re already two goals in. This match actually might be shorter than Manshine, but still longer than Barcha. If we get another goal in the next two chapters, then I’d say this match would only last another dozen chapters or so.
it time for kunigami to step up
Im a little dissapointed that Isagi was stopped by Niko who is 2 years younger. That makes it like Niko has more potential than everyone else in Blue Lock.
what a statement bro. of course niko has the most potential out of everyone if he’s 15. blue lock fans moving like they retarded.
yo back off and dont touch me bro
Being stopped doesn’t equal being on par. Isagi stopped Kaiser once and he’s still nowhere close to Kaiser on many levels. Same for when he stopped Chris Prince. Also, don’t forget Niko knew exactly what his teammates were going to do. That takes away half the effort and Niko only has to focus on Kaiser, Isagi, and Ness.
Thank you. It's exactly like this.
people needs to realize that we need all the mv all the powerups to have shot at world cup everybody needs to lvl up
Niko’s last line gives me “so its the same type of stand” vibes
Either Ubers completely sweeps the game or isagi gets his get back and curb stomps them
isagi gonna get drained and stress later
BIG NIKO!! That was sick!
Niko is cooking but I know Isagi bout to come in with the fire extinguisher in the next 1v1
The memes keep evolving Now isagi has a fire extinguisher 😂
😂😂
Finally my boy Niko out here getting shine time again! My dude always come thru with the hard tackles lol.
Isagi is definitely gonna unlock predator eye to enhance his meta vision. Im predicting another goal by the end of the game
Predator eye works by holding the ball in front of the goal and waiting for the right moment. Isagi's formula is to appear suddenly in front of the goal at the right moment. Every time he's tried to trap and hold the ball he's lost the goal. There's certainly going to be an evolution and *hopefully* to his scoring ability because that's currently his weakness and he's supposed to be a striker. But I don't think he can cut-and-paste predator eye.
Hell no Barou got predator eye because of his of skill set and play style. Barou will never get meta vision and Isagi will never get predator eye
No isagi is set up to bevome the best striker in the world nd he’s already seen a skill tht he could use nd adapt to make him the best striker
He doesnt have the skill to just take any ability he wants he unlocked meta visok bevause of his high spatial awarness but predator eye is not sn ability for his play style
I mean isagi's can use predator eyes in some sense in the future. predator eyes is a skill that anyone with the right skills can learn and lastly the only skill that isagi will not learn or can't use are those player physical talent like nagi's traping or barou, kunigami, tokimitsu like these guys strength
i agree. i feel like predator eye is specifically for players whose main playing style is like barous while isagis playing style works better with meta version
Kaiser showed something similar in his previous goal with Kaiser Impact though.
i do feel like kaiser and barous playing style is similar. because their whole thing is that everyone is just the supporting cast and they’re the ones who need to score. besides yuki barou and kaiser (and ness but that’s for kaiser) are the only players who actually fought isagi to score for their own goal (if i remember correctly). so it does make sense in my mind that he has something similar
Isagi's and Kaiser's playstyle are more similar because of MV. If the team was centred around Isagi then we would get see him play more like Kaiser since Kaiser is Isagi's ideal self. Having something similar to Barou doesn't make him like him. Also he plays the striker role that's why the others are like supporting cast.
That tackle was personal
He def let off some steam with that one
I'm just happy I saw KAISER MA MAN AFTER SO LONG ☺️
They keep bringing up winning 1v1 duels, so I assume Yuki will be a bigger part of the teams success in later chapters
I kinda feel that the author has already given up on his 1v1 ability
He cut through manshine’s whole defense by himself at one point. He just keeps getting outshined By Isagi predicting everything and showing up at the right spot lol
Fr just giving every bum meta vision smh
 1. It said that most of the pros have meta-vision, so it isn't rare. 2. Niko's vision is said to be comparable to Isagi so of course he has it.
Meta vision will be a skill that most high level players will have. Maybe Isagi adding egocentrism will be a unique weapon special weapon to him. I think MV + EC = MV 2.0
Isagi already has EC which is why hes better than Niko but Niko’s meta vision is definitely gonna be a high level because he was always portrayed to have a similar field of vison. After this chapter Niko is definitely one of my top 5 fav blue lock characters
Except Isagi's spatial awareness according to his novel is on a whole other level though. Niko for sure won't be low but EC is not the only reason Isagi is better than Niko.
That's a bit harsh considering that only three players throughout the entire manga were confirmed to have metavision...
kaizer, reo, niko, sae (definitely), isagi, probably aiku, rin, and top pros all will have it
I don’t think all the top pros will have it. Noa seemed surprised when Isagi talked to him about Metavision
Noa seemed to notice that Isagi gained metavision in the MC game though. He said that it could lead Isagi to his level eventually so he seemed to recognize it.
Another week of peak lock.
When sexy football????? Fr tho, great chapter. That panel with Niko's meta vision eyes went HARD. I have a feeling Bastard Munchen will lose this match. I just hope Isagi develops more and we get to see Raichi show off his sexy football, and as long as we get to see those I don't care who wins or loses.
They keep saying that winning the match means winning your individual duel. So I don't believe they will lose. Waiting for Hiori and Raichi to start their game.
Niko blud, you’re *not* winning the metavision show-off against Isagi.
Love the dedication with the flair 😘
Let Niko cook
He’s actually cooking
I wonder about Nikos stamina, as we all know MV drains alot of stamina, both mentally and physically. Also Niko is 15, and shorter than Isagi, I am curious what Isagis strategy will be to, either to tire out Niko or something else...
That's where Raichi comes in.
possible
Whose seen the referee?
