THE UNKNOWN CHARACTERS! | BLUE LOCK

Just going through my predictions for the background survivors in blue lock including their weapons and personality.

[@PrinceFlames]

The amount of work that goes into these videos are insane. The script writing, the research, editing, all of it must take so much time. And your thumbnails are top notch. I don’t know a single KZbinr who puts more effort into their videos besides you.

[@Lumastarrr]

honestly i think it was such a fumble on the authors part for not including more of these unknown characters in the NEL arc. like for example, the only players on Barcha that we really know are Otoya and Bachira - same thing with Manshine. The author couldve easily introduced us to a few of the unknown characters by letting them play. But anyways im excited to see Himizu in Episode Nagi

[@akiraendoji]

I think Himizu or anyone new on Barcha is fine since it was their first game and even characters like Barou and Yuki weren't a starter by then. As for Manshine or Uber's I think it's a bit of a fumble, like they have this inifinite sub rule but we never see it so it's just feels under utilised. Like Niou should've played for Manshine and maybe Hiiragi too (guess they were saving him for later, but he was always hyped) and then Uber's could've just thrown Ishikari in. It feels like only BM are introducing new characters which is a bit lame but I guess it makes sense that the author wants to focus on the main stars more.

[@Lumastarrr]

@@akiraendoji fr bruh, i always felt like Ishikari couldve at least played as a goal keeper for Ubers considering his height and aerial skills - i guess the author just doesnt utilize certain characters or "throws away" certain characters that many fans want to see more of due to their design (example: akira endouji) or impact on the story (example: hiiragi) in order to show that it doesnt matter what you look like or what you have done in the past, all that matters is if you can grow and evolve to keep up with the growing standard. that seems like the message that the author and Ego have been pushing the whole story.

[@akiraendoji]

@@Lumastarrr Yeh it's unfortunate, it's basically come down to if you know Isagi you will succeed otherwise they're basically eliminated, which makes sense since he is the protagonist but it means potential useful characters don't get utilised

I LOVE YOU AKIRA! Most underrated blue lock KZbinr

[@akiraendoji]

Thanks, means a lot!

[@tanatswamakara4700]

This is a lot of work👏👏👏... Is it possible that the Himizu snake guy is also a contrarian (or contrarian adjacent) like Charles, since he's got an almost obnoxious childish personality that likes "betraying" or surprising other and his etymology has "mole" in it😅

[@akiraendoji]

Never considered him to be a contrarian but it's definitely a possibility, hopefully we see him in a week or twos time when the 4v4 is shown

[@scythe789.]

i feel like author kinda did ishikari dirty by not making him sub in for aryu if he got injured

[@akiraendoji]

Ishikari not playing honestly annoyed me more than it should, they could've just had Ishikari sub in instead of Sendou. Then instead of Sendou saving the ball actually have Fukaku save it so it's actually believable he could reach the top 23 and start him off with like 10mil and jump to 28mil instead of gaining 23 mil off screen. Since we know that Ishikari and Aryu have chemistry and insane aerial reach, they could then have Hiori's pass so perfect that it can pass both Aryu and Ishikari perfectly in front of Isagi. Also, Ishikari by far picked the worst team in the NEL, he somehow joined the only squad with actual CB's and defenders, if he was in BM or any other squad he would be a starter by the 3rd game. Starting over Lorenzo, Aryu, Aiku and Niko; good luck his fate was basically sealed.

[@LizardKingRequiem]

You and The Wise are the two peak blue lock tubers, yall consistently run laps around the others

Thanks! Wise is so good too, like he guessed Isagi hattrick early on too. He's just naturally so good at theories

[@ashdoestuff9788]

I believe that there will be another wild card after the nel where nagi will lose and compete with all the foter characters for the 24- 26 spots as the world cup maximum number of player is 26

[@akiraendoji]

I doubt it would be another wild card, potentially if Nagi has another bad game I could see a world where Nagi, Igaguri, Kiyora and Nanase all tie in their final salary and they compete to determine who gets the final spot. But I do think Nagi will have some resurgence before the U20 world cup.

[@bleiderhenrique]

man, I missed your videos, they are really good

[@pieterhofkens7259]

The only characters whove truly done nothing are -Akira -Taiga -Shizuka -Nishioka -Yuzu -Tetsu

[@akiraendoji]

Yeh, atm they seem like the only ones we haven't seen properly. I think Yuzu is the only proper character we may not see at all though since he doesn't interact with Nagi so we won't see him in the spinoff. The only chance would be in the PXG game.

[@alzsioner1749]

Amazing video!!! It will be cool to see a part 2 with NEL players (agi, lala, chapa, grimm, drago,...)

[@akiraendoji]

Yeh, I was considering adding them but the video was already too long. Chapa still hasn't done anything and is looking more like a fodder character. Drago is probably the most interesting since we don't see who scored 4 potential goals for Ubers and he had more screen time than both Kunigami and Aryu. Wouldn't be shocked if he had a bigger role in the U20 world cup,

[@randomeditz-f5f]

So I got a theory about Haiji. He was the guy on nanaes team in second sel and has a mop on his head. So the theory is that Haiji is like Nagi if he never started trying. He has the talent but doesn't have care for the Game. He plays for Barcha and has a 6 mill bid so he will most likely play against manshine. Nagi notices his skill but realizes that he is not trying at all. He see's this and something awakens inside of him, This was how he was in the past and he his starting to go back in that path. He realizes that he needs to strip himself from Reo once again. He does so and scores the winning goal and makes it 3-2.

[@akiraendoji]

Could be a possibility, I don't think it will be Haiji to fully awaken him though but it should be noted that there are a bunch of characters like Hiiragi, Himizu, Sokura and Tsunzaki who will be more important in episode Nagi and play in the final match and so I think all of them will contribute to his final awakening

[@randomeditz-f5f]

@@akiraendoji this theory was made before episode nagi chappter 22 so I thought Haiji was gonna be more relevent then himizu, ect.

[@akiraendoji]

You and me both, if Episode Nagi matches the main story we may see him play in the third selection and the end of the PXG vs BM game. But that's just a lot of copium atm, but I have hope.

[@nehehe2337]

all this got me wondering what the OG U-20 players were like

[@TrutherReviews]

[@akiraendoji]

Thanks Truther!

[@PrinceFlames]

Yuzu’s name means spring so I think he would have acceleration a bit slower than Zantetsu’s but his top speed is not bad compared to Chigiri. I think he would be very agile and hard to steal from and chase since he’s so small. I also think Yuzu went through some trauma which causes him to stay to himself and show no emotion.

[@akiraendoji]

Oh that's a cool thought, I put him having speed and vision but spring as in acceleration specifically would be amazing too for a weapon!

FYI, 12:16 August babies are usually Leo signs. Taurus would be April 20th to May 20th! He does scream more of a Leo than a Taurus based on his design and vibes too + Leo is the only star sign as the "sun"

[@randomeditz-f5f]

For some reason I just think yuzu, ishikari, and haiji went against himizu, karasu, and otoya after they lost to Nagi. Ishikari and haiji would drop down and go up again. haiji would get stolen by nanases team. Ishikari would be back down to face niko and hiiragi. Team niko would then pick up hiori or saramdara and then face team nanase in the 4v4. They lose and hiiragi gets picked up. Then its just Team niko. They pick up hiori or saramdara (the one thats not in there team currently) And they go to face Nishioka. Only problem I have is I dont think nishioka would stay for long so I think he lost to team yukimiya and then went up against karasu team and lost so he climbed back up and lost to team Niko.

[@akiraendoji]

Well I need to redo the 2nd selection video anyway. Atm, my first thought is that Hiori, Yukimiya, ??? beat Barou's team (Nishi and Naruhaya); they have the skill to do it and have rankings low enough before Kunigami and Chigiri entered. If they picked up Nishioka then we could See Hiori, ???, Nishi, Yuki and I think they play against Yuzu, Himizu, Karasu, Otoya with Yuki getting picked up. Since they have Hiori and Nishi already I think that this is the 5th clear team setup where they will beat Hiiragi and Niko and pick up Niko (we know they separate). Not sure about Yuzu's team though, since there are only 35 survivors I think there's a good chance he just had fodder team mates; not all survivors can vs each other. I honestly think Yuzu is one of the worst characters, he got stomped 5-2 in 3rd selection, rank 98 in 2nd selection and hasn't played for PXG and so he has the lowest amount of feats. I think if Karasu played against Yuzu in the 3v3 he would've picked Haiji or Ishikari over him.

[@randomeditz-f5f]

@@akiraendoji Fair, but I think hiiragi gets separated from niko in a 4v4 considering his team cleared first. I think team raichi started the day nagi and hiiragi had the match and lost so they climbed back up to face the player they lost. For yuzu I think his feats aren't really to far from haiji. Second selection ranking is simply messed up as players like naruhaya were ranked higher then chigiri and kunigami. Shidou was ranked 108 and ect. For the third selection match I think he didn't really do to much and his team just lost, having a performance similar to saramdara or yuzu. And yuzu had to go against bachira, rin, shidou, and nishioka. He did lose to haiji but he most likely didn't do too much.

Oh, I'm surprised you recognised it, but yeah. All the videos I've used I just pick a game like Persona, Trails of Cold Steel, etc. and use that specific game's OST for the video's and this vid was Trails of Cold Steel.

[@Iwishcarswerereal_]

I also love Endoji's design. Hopefully he subs in for Charles and does something to get in the top 23

[@akiraendoji]

Nah, Charles is too important to sub out especially since Loki only joined to develop him. Wish he subs in one of the 3 CB's as they are just fodders so easily replaceable

[@bravetree]

So badly I want Kiyora to be cool

[@akiraendoji]

Same, Episode Nagi Kiyora seems badass and cool but then you have main story Kiyora and my god he is so fodder. He is struggling so hard in the BM vs PXG game so far and has been cooked by Karasu and even Nanase twice, looking rough for him atm.

[@M.W.2]

Aomori Messi will be the one to save Manchester while Nagi and Reo are in the slump

[@M.W.2]

Coming back from his injury for his first official match

[@akiraendoji]

Just want to say, Nishioka did already play in the third selection and the Uber's game so I don't think he is still injured or was even badly injured to begin with. That being said, it isn't out of reach for Nishioka to score a goal in the Manshine vs Barcha game, they are against the worst team by far in the league and scoring a goal could warrant a top 23 salary too. It is most likely going to be a Nagi hattrick or Chigiri/Nagi/Reo goals but Nishioka getting a goal isn't out of realm. Imagine Kiyora, Nanase and Igaguri standing on the field warrying if they made the final 23rd spot and then it pans over to Nishioka in the other game getting the last spot instead, would be so funny.

[@akiraendoji]

You know I never realised that Isagi (15) and Nagi (7) is just Hiiragi's numbers. But since Sokura is 20 I don't think he will be half Reo (10) and another half Reo (10). Hopefully we see him in the next 3v3.

[@akiraendoji]

For sure, Ishikari is definitely the biggest waste for a character and chose the wrong team. He somehow picked the only team in the NEL with actual defenders Lorenzo, Aiku, Niko and Aryu, like good luck taking a starting spot over them. If he was on BM or any other team in the NEL he would've played by now.

hello i enjoy your content so much and i was wondering if after the pxg match ( which will probably take the whole year) if the author doesnt reveal the teams that made a last bid for the other players players would you make a video where you predict which club made an offer for chracters like Himizu, Niou and Otoya? we see they got salaries but the teams that made the offer were not revealed until now, ngl it would be an interesting idea
