GAGAMARU GOT HIS BIG SAVE! 🔥

[@hikikostudios]

That save was MASSIVE! Def worth a solid salary increase.

[@Fallen_09]

Me i genuinely think Ego after the NEL is going to tell the rest that if you are not in the Top 3 you're no longer seen as a striker for the U20 team. Everyone else will have to change their positions to fit around those 3. This is what I'm hoping for and makes the most sense since clubs have now made offers for players based on their positions and they need to stay in those and perform well. So i expect alot of positional changes to happen.

[@hikikostudios]

Interesting concept, it makes sense to a degree because the top 3 players will have the most goal contributions.

[@Fallen_09]

@hikikostudios plus i think more players would benefit from it like Hiori did as soon as he decided that the best way he can contribute was being a midfielder his game expanded so much more. Me I'm hoping Nagi gets that realization and turns into a 10. Just my personal opinion but think he fits the 10 more than the striker.

[@EliJang-dq3yf]

@@Fallen_09 it wouldn't make sense, since Ego didn't actually tell them what they need to do. they found those answers on their own, hiori decided for himself to become a midfielder, raichi decided for himself to become a centre back, gagamaru decided for himself to become a goalkeeper etc, and that is when their EGOs showed up. if Ego told them what to do, that won't be their EGO nor will it even show.

[@DCPierrot48]

Without spoiling much of the manga I feel Rin is going to be the embodiment of a quote of Noel Noa, that Ego says in the beginning of the series. "Instead of assisting my teammates to win 1-0. It feels better to pull off a hat trick and lose 3-4"

[@hikikostudios]

Barou is also a perfect example of that too.

Yeah in our opinion, its doesn’t seem right for Isagi to lose to Rin again. Its clear he is on the verge of evolving so its tike for him to rise to the occasion.

[@jasonsjungle]

If kurona continues to train his speed and passing abilities with a splash of meta vision you get one nasty dangerous shadow to link up for the entire offense of japans u20 🥶

[@rafaelcastanheira3264]

There exists a theory that when Buratsuta was giving an idea in chapter 248 to the Pifa president, it was actually to expand the number of players in a u20 team to 26 players like the current world cup. That way we can see players like Igaguri, Zantetsu or even Sae play

[@hikikostudios]

I re-read 248 and it never said anything about changing the actual roster number. He was more or less ranting about the BLTV being so popular and being a moneymaker.

[@zeldzamezeeslak6082]

It would mean Zantetsu, Tokimitsu and Igaguri could make it.

[@coblt1293]

1:35 i am sad to say nanase wont make the cut kiyori will have a higher salary because of his final assist to isagi and igarashi will have a slightly higher salary than namase because he stopped rin from scoring like twice already i think it might stop one more with the help of the gk gagamaru so his bid will rise up.

[@hikikostudios]

Thank you for the comment but we don’t think the Monk deserves to qualify for the team based on only this performance. He can win a salary that stops him from inheriting the temple but not play for the Japan U20 team.

[@cww2490]

I feel you are underestimating Kunagami. Not only did he provide a assist he showcased his ability to shutdown a ace player by himself. The latter would be highly valued. Honestly if Kunagami did work with others more I feel he would have been the leading striker of BM with his great body, ambidextrous legs, his shooting power, and his defensive abilities. Also Fukaku can be kicked out. Aryu with his defensive skills and long legs can easily be trained into a second goalie. And if you just told him he could shine brighter as the one who shuts down strikers than be one than he would really lock in.

[@hikikostudios]

Aryu is better off as a CB like he has been playing thru the whole NEL and U20 Arcs.

[@romelliilagus4314]

I think I prefer Igaguri over Nanase because of his impact in pxg's match. He is the only one who stopped rin's destructive mode 2 times (isagi and kaiser also stopped rin by teaming up after that, but igaguri only himself did too)

[@hikikostudios]

That should give him an offer and value but stopping Rin twice isn’t worth $25+ million yen. The Monk is cooked.

[@azwanfaizlim2237]

pretty much spot on, Isagi definitey will rise to be no 1 but 300m is too high, maybe 250m but he will definitely surpass rin

[@harshiththonda9808]

Isagi and Kiser linkup is on the way💥

[@suprexity]

In Nagi we believe

[@Fallen_09]

Yukimiya really got hoe'd with that pass to Isagi by the fandom but if u look at the intension of the pass he made the right decision to optimize Isagi's direct shot doing the lob pass. Cuz Isagi never asks for the ball to feet in front of goal so he did the lob while holding up two defenders with a dribble great game play but snuffy just too good. W list no problems seen the players selected provide positional variations and versatility each player in the team can play multiple positions.

[@Marcelofilho24]

Igaguri being able to stop players whose plays are impulsive and aggressive makes him valuable. Not as a starter, regularly used sub or player who is that relevant but as a specialist and player who can be used for the specific role of making guys who are too impulsive like Rin's flow stat commit fouls. He is more valuable than either Kiyora or Nanase who dont have any unique traits that they could bring to the table

[@hikikostudios]

Kiyora’s borderline playstyle could be effective in the team. He can adapt and choose to play alongside players like Barou, Isagi or Rin depending on the scenario.

[@Biothermiac]

Kiyora's unique traits are insane grounded-hugging ball plays and literally breakdancing with the ball (read episode nagi if you haven't, he's been a menace and there's a reason he was picked by nagi's insane team), I suspect he's probably going to do some breakdancing play to elevate himself and cement his place Nanase's unique trait is being naturally ambidextrous which is a good advantage for being a supporter from the sides so he could be a useful wingback sub They're far more useful than Igaguri, but Igaguri might just make the team because of plot armour/comedy and the slight worth he's shown

[@Marcelofilho24]

@@hikikostudios @Biothermiac Igaguri is not a guy who will get any minutes unless they need to deal with a player similar to Berserk Rin, his weapon is a straight foward way to deal with a almost unsolvable match up nightmare My point is not that Igaguri is better than those 2 because he clearly is not, my point is that what he brings to the table is harder to find than a player who can support any main striker or a competent wing supporter

[@mahenkahata9123]

I agree with most of your takes except for some of the bottom guys. I genuinely believe Fukaku Gen getting 28mil was to establish a baseline which is like the min salary the other players needs to exceed, so I don't believe he'll get in. Also, I believe Zantetsu and Toki will get in, as there are staple characters and can play in many positions and plays others can't. As a result, I believe Nanase will be eliminated with a salary of 29mil and be the 24th person. I believe this to be the case to show that even this late in the manga, there will be some heartbreak. And ofc Kiyora will be 23rd with a 30 mil salary. Little bit of a rant but yeah.

[@hikikostudios]

Tokimitsu hasn’t provided much positive impact throughout the match. So its not that viable in our opinion. Maybe if he gets a big play then we will change our minds. But until then Toki and Zantetsu need to do more.

[@7aemr]

honestly it's really one spot left and it's toki's spot. everyone else is basically locked in (chapter 246). so igarashi cuz he is the super sub that completely shut down rin. we don't need another passer, kiyora has been lost all game.

[@hikikostudios]

The Monk playing only 3 mins and winning a salary close to 25 million yen is kind of ridiculous. Toki hasn’t done nearly enough either.

[@Biothermiac]

Kiyora's passes hug the ground though, which makes them potentially harder to see and also prevents them from being shut down by people like Aiku with his headers, and he's shown the ability to adjust his passes based on little bits of information like Kaiser missing magnus because of the spin already on the ball

[@ToastyHysteria]

I think a possible gagamaru feat would be saving a penalty kick. I don't think we've seen one in the story and it could be like rin shooting and he makes a diving stop in the top corner. Isagi might go up to him and be like how did you make that save and he just says instinct

[@hikikostudios]

That would be awesome to see! That save would give him a good salary increase.

[@dacup9454]

everything is fine except i think u should have put hiori a little higher since hes awakening shit too and i think hes gonna help isagi in the final goal against pxg

Max salary I think its 45 million yen. He currently has 20 but he has provided important passes, stopped Charles and Rin even at some points. He will most likely help Isagi so I think 20-25 million boost is solid. What were you thinking like 30 million boost?

strictly my take. No way is Sae not gonna be a part of u20 arc so imo there's definitely just 22 spots (how i see it) cuz Sae is a Prodigy and not a genius (from the newest chapter) and Sae should be the best midfielder there currently is (being part of the new gen 11, and stated to be the best midfielder) with this, it would really be a waste of talent even for Ego to just disregard Sae's talent and him being a Prodigy, also it would not make sense for the plot not using Sae because he should be part of it in the first place. He doesn't need to bear in bluelock cuz 1, he has the choice not to and probably wasn't called in because bluelock is still looking for the number 1 striker and would just jeopardize how the bluelock auction system works(yes we do have kaiser and lorenzo but in my pov, the bidding system would probably be number 1 is Sae thus having an number 1 being a mf and not a striker would just destroy the meaning of bluelock) and 2 he doesnt want to take part of it or even his team(Re Al) and would rather just pick up players from the auction. PURELY MY TAKE ON HOW THE U20 ARC SHOULD HAPPEN

[@hikikostudios]

Tbh Sae is probably somewhere watching all of these NEL matches. Isagi got his interest and he has been shining in the NEL. Other players might capture his attention as well. Its def not impossible but gonna wait for Kaneshiro to confirm it.

[@zeldzamezeeslak6082]

The only two I would switch are Kiyora for Tokimitsu Kurona for Igaguri or Zantetsu Both Kurona and Kiyora lack character imo, something which the other two definitely do have. For Tokimitsu, I do think the team lacks centre backs, only having Aiku, Niko and Aryu. I think Tokimitsu could take that role. For Igaguri, it depends if Ego also sees Igaguri's value just like Noa does. If not, he isnt making it. Maybe Ego states that there is VAR, so his trick wont work there. If Igaguri doesnt make it, I hope Zantetsu does. I know we have enough speed types already, but man... I think Zantetsu is a way cooler character than Kurona or Kiyora. Also, I think the second goalie will be that u20 goalkeeper, but man I dont hope so. Such a boring choice. Let Igaguri or Tokimitsu play there

[@hikikostudios]

Kurona deserves it more than The Monk. Kirona played in 3 matches and showed his value as Isagi’s shadow/helper. The Monk got 3 mins of time and he is a one trick pony. As a player, Kiyora showed more value by assisting others while displaying hia borderline philosophy. Tokimitsu is kind of just standing there.

@@hikikostudios I agree he shouldn’t be on the u-20 but I think he will, that’s the authors favorite character and the joke is that he always makes it in, some how he’s outlasted all these crazy players while not doing much at all, also, kiorya hasn’t done that much either this match tbh, I feel like they have kinda equal achievements atm.

Idk we haven’t seen much from otoya at all to justify him being a starter, there’s at least 5 players in the subs who’ve had more impact than him. Honestly think the writer completely forgot to develop him

Tbh the writing in the NEL has been so inconsistent.

[@wurgdenjurg9364]

I don’t understand. I don’t read manga but can someone tell me the clubs like: Bastard München, PxG, Barcha etc.. are they supposed to be Bayern Munich, Barcelona etc..? If so, does that mean, they are already playing in the world class? Or is BL still in the „beginning“ like they didn’t reach the end level of a pro player and still fighting to become Main Player of Japans national club?

[@hikikostudios]

They are fighting to become closer to world class talents by training and competing against the U20 teams of their world’s Bayern Munich (Bastard Munchen)

[@tanatswamakara4700]

I largely disagree with most of the projections made here. If the writer takes the holistic performances of the players (especially in the PXG vs BM match), I think every player involved in that match should just get an automatic 5m boost just off the fact that this is a "final" and the most high level match in the NEL. Also, I believe: > it's IMPOSSIBLE for Kurona to be a 35m player since his value after the Ubers was 34m. I know you're not suggesting that his performance in this last match was worth a single million. > Zantetsu and Tokimitsu will definitely make the final 23. Their value before this match was 23m apiece. They can easily get a 5 to 10m raise after the end of this match. > I have a theory that they'll end up fielding a final 26 (as part of the JFU president's suggestions for the u20 World Cup), and this will allow Kiyora, Igaguri and Nanase to make the cut. I can just see it happening 😂. Because outside of Nanase (16m valuation), the next highest bid is 9m (Hiragi), who I don't think will be a key figure in Manshine vs. Barcha match. And with Igaguri and Kiyora's performances, they'll easily overtake em into the mid-20 to 30m bids. > I don't think Rin's performance so far is worth 50m, whilst Isagi gets a 150m raise when their performances in this match have been practically similar so far. Well,... unless PLOT😂

[@hikikostudios]

Raising the roster to 26 would be super random and kind of belittle the how NEL process. Plus an instant 5 million boost doesn’t make sense because we have seen players get less than that or even lose value throughout the arc. It should be solely based off their own performances and whether it was good or not.

[@tanatswamakara4700]

@hikikostudios with the "instant boost," I meant that the hype of this match in the Blue Lock universe already elevates the values of the players playing within it, so it's more likely that the players participating in this match will have higher bids simply based off participation in the match. Just like how you believe Isagi will double his 150m bid, Kiyora will get 25m, etc, after this match. It is less likely that an amazing performance in the "losers" match of Barcha and Manshine would garner a higher valuation than one in the PXG vs. BM match. Your own estimated valuations of the players in the Barcha vs. Manshine match display this logic With the additional player numbers, we've seen these backdoor plot elements to keep some "beloved characters," like the Wildcard Stage for example, or even Shidou's transfer to the Japan u20 team (the u20 match itself was actually a hurried gamble because the BL project was out of funds, which implies some other skipped stages in Ego's plan) , the inclusion of the losing u20 members into the NEL itself etc. We know how some of these "hints" work. So in the situation where we see the JFU president (who has some kind of promise with Ego) making a direct appeal to "take advantage" of the upcoming u20 World Cup, it isn't that much of a reach to assume that the PIFA presidency might make rule changes that directly affect the participants of that World Cup, which wouldn't be that random. I mean, if you agree that there's a possibility that Fukaku Gen gets a 28m bid simply for the sake of plot (the necessity), I dont see how squad rule changes would be "random"

[@hikikostudios]

@tanatswamakara4700 Still if you play bad in the finals, then you still play bad. And that negative performance should reflect in their value.

[@tanatswamakara4700]

@hikikostudios that's true. But that's only if you play terribly, of which none of the players in that match are. So, as it stands, their values are bound to go up. For example, if someone like Nanase who was simply "below par" in previous games could get 16m (2m off the cut-off point) prior to this game, an improved value is more or less locked in for him in this game.

[@Matthew-fx3ho]

When is the next chapter of the manga coming out

[@hikikostudios]

Leaks came out today, so assuming the new chapter comes out tomorrow or in 2 days.

[@KumaPawha]

Having Isagi on the team is basically giving the enemy a 2x exp bonus 😭

[@hikikostudios]

Then Isagi pushes his team to go 3x and still win 😭

[@Mitsuzaki_Onoki]

Bachira > Shidou

[@hikikostudios]

In terms of overall consistency as an individual yes! But since winning also plays a big part, he won’t get the same value as the other successful strikers. Which really isn’t his fault but hey thats the game, nothing is fair.

[@leviop3407]

Nanase aint getting in man😭🙏

[@hikikostudios]

Realistically, he should have an assist but Rin stopped his goal so he can produce a better one. Nanase has been the main helper for Rin and he had a few defensive feats on top of offense. He could be valuable as Rin’s shadow in the U20 team.

[@HoloWolf_YT]

In my opinion otoya is lower

[@BakeR-wb8wv]

He should be way lower tbh

[@chaitanyawagh8216]

Igaguri will definitely make it in top 23. He has that last rank plot armor from day 1. He stopped #1 Ranked Player in his destroyer mode TWICE when he was near to scoring a goal when no one was able to stop Rin. Anyways BL has many strikers keeping Igaguri is a better decision.

[@hikikostudios]

Its a stretch to see the Monk survive, other players deserve the spot over him.

[@chaitanyawagh8216]

@@hikikostudios Hiori also ended up on leaderboard by just playing last few mins in Ubers match. Igaguri has more impact on saving 2 potential goals from Beserk Rin than Nanase, Tokimitsu, Zantetsu, even Kiyora(it doesn't make sense to keep Kiyora in top 23 he doesn't have much to followup in U20 WC) . If Igaguri wasn't substituted the game would have been over couple of chapters ago. Igaguri is a actual defender. He can compromise on leaving behind his striker role to become a defender for not going to his Temple work.

I agree with everything except the few last spots. I can see Kiyora surviving with how much he's been assisting during the match, but I think Nanase might be on a 50-50 to see if either he or Igaguri survives (believe me, I want that monk gone, but he always has enough plot armor to make it through). I think Zantetsu and Tokimitsu are pretty cooked because they've barely had any moments to shine, and if anything, Tokimitsu fumbled it terribly with that foul against Noa, so I think he's already cooked

[@hikikostudios]

The Monk only playing 3 mins and making it to the Japan U20 team just doesn’t seem logical or fair. Other players deserve the spot over him.

Yukimiya is still on the Bastard Munchen team. You can see him in chapter 276 on the bench before the Monk comes into the game.
