So guys if you're wondering why the end of the video cuts abruptly, there was an issue in the render that we didn't notice(specifically the Shidou / Zlatan Ibrahimovic Part). Here is that part if you're interested! kzbin.info/www/bejne/sHzcmqp7qZuAqLs

Blue Lock really nails it with these insane character parallels to real-world footballers. It's like the author took some of the greatest players ever and dialed them up to 11. Noel Noah as a blend of Lewandowski's ruthless efficiency and Zidane’s ambidextrous genius? That’s already wild, but to top it off, you’ve got Chris Prince channeling peak Ronaldo energy, from his impossible jumps to his near-obsessive body control. It’s not just fan service-this stuff is rooted in the real brilliance and quirks of legendary athletes. Blue Lock just elevates it, making the players larger-than-life versions of their inspirations, with stakes that somehow feel even bigger than in real football. It's a genius move to blend reality with the absurd.

[@MakepeaceAguilar]

@@visionary4787 solamente es emocionalmente si eres fan del anime ser fan de fútbol de verdad ya te deja saber que ya como es Lewandowski es una locura eso ya es demasiado irreal Pero si solo vez anime y no juegas un carajo terminas comentando estas tonterías.

[@Slade_Chill]

@@MakepeaceAguilarnew flash genius fiction isn’t a real. But what blue lock did was smart you take inspiration of players with their ideologies and abilities and crank it the max to make it unbelievable that it’s absurd. It’s actually a great storytelling when you think about it.

[@nasimahasan3185]

In my opinion Isagi is also based on Thomas Muller . Thomas Muller doesn't really have a good pace or good skills but he's still an excellent playmaker and he plays as a Raumdeuter which means he intercepts open areas to create changes and score goals he's the type of guy to beat world class player with his high IQ, creativity, understanding of the game and awareness. Also he plays for Bayern and also won a world cup he also is the partner in crime of Robert Lewandowski (Noel Noah)

[@goldenhaki5143]

One correction there. As a brazilian Dada Silva is related to Dada Maravilha, including his name. A striker who played in the 70's and scored 400+ goals during his career and won a World Cup as well. His weapon was the same Dada Silva used in the World-5 matches, a letal header and a great physical strenght. Knowing that Kaneshiro already brought some brazilian legends to the manga like Zico and Pelé I think Dada Silva was the perfect way to pay homage to Maravilha.

[@Cotramjoxxx]

@@michel4288 Nah, its too old and very known player to be an inspiration. Every player in Blue Lock is inspired in modern 2000's players. Its more probable that Dada Silva was inspired in Thiago Silva or Diego Costa than Maravilha.

[@ColinMcG]

Isagi, is definitely based on Inzaghi but would also include Thomas Muller and Berbatov. Like EA for years had to assign Muller a high rated card within their games. As he wasn't really skilled in any particular facet bar the ability to find space and convert a high rate of chances. And in similarity to Berbatov, he wasn't the most athletic but he made up for his lack of physicality with skill and technique.

[@RicoCorreia]

As a Brazilian, I'll give my two cents: the character Dada Silva seems to be much more inspired by Adriano Imperador, but by the name and position on the field also could be reference to Dada Maravilha, the center-forward of the 1970 Brazilian champ World Cup team. "Only three things can hover in the air: a helicopter, a hummingbird, and Dada Maravilha."
