Blue Lock — How Japanese Fans React

It's hilarious that this thing is basically fated to catch fire once every four years.

4年に1回燃えることになるの笑える

I watched it, and Nagi and Ekichi genuinely looked the part, and the acting was really good too.

観たけど凪と絵心はマジで似てたし、演技めちゃ上手かった

Rin's insult vocabulary is on an elementary-schooler level and it's adorable. Also, Isagi has always thrown himself into communicating and trying to understand people no matter the situation — I love that about him. That's exactly why so many characters end up fixated on him and fond of him.

凛の悪口語彙力が小学生でかわいい てか潔って昔からどんな状況でも積極的にコミュニケーション取って相手を理解しようとするの本当に良いわ だからこそ色んなキャラから意識されるし好かれるんだろうね

"Don't go and Kawashima it" — with "Kawashima" written to be read as "screw up." The moment I saw that I decided the manga wasn't for me and dropped it. There was zero need to slap that reading on it.

川島(ミス)んなよ これ見た時に合わんなって見切りつけたよ こんなルビ振る必然もないもの

The actor's good-looking, sure, but it's the wrong genre of good-looking. If they could bring in someone like the Nagi actor for this role too, it'd actually work.

これ恭平さんはイケメンなんだけどイケメンのジャンルが違うよね ほんとに凪みたいなの連れてこれるなら行けるでしょ😭

Genuinely shocked Rin is having a proper, calm conversation with Isagi. Old Rin would've brushed off anything Isagi said and barely even answered.

凛ちゃんが潔と真っ当に落ち着いて会話してる事に驚いた。 以前の凛ちゃんなら潔が何言っても邪険に扱ったり碌に返事もしなかったと思う。

Not letting them get any sunlight is straight-up indefensible.

日光浴びさせないのは論外

Walking up to a benched, absolutely furious Rin, getting shut down at first, and still steering it to a place where they can actually talk it out — Isagi is just too good at putting problems into words.

外されてブチ切れてる凛と話しに行って最初は拒絶されてるのに最終的にはちゃんと話ができる状態まで持って行ける潔は問題点の言語化が上手すぎる

Worse than the first thing: dropping a character clearly modeled on manager Moriyasu into a fictional work just to trash him is really not okay.

最初の奴よりもフィクションの作品に森保監督のモデルのキャラ出て貶すのがほんとに良くない

Back when he'd just met Rin, Isagi was terrified of him — and now they're not just equals, somehow Isagi looks like the bigger man. Got me a little emotional.

凛に会ってまもない頃はあれだけ畏怖してたのに、今や対等どころか、なんだか潔が大きく見えて感動した。

Is it, like… the Olympic sacred flame?

聖火かな？

The looks don't really match either, but the actor's take on Chigiri's character is rough... he said something like 'I tried to move as femininely as possible,' but Chigiri's whole appeal — like it's said right in the video — is 'a face that reads pure young lady, paired with a total dude underneath!' It just feels like he doesn't understand the character he's playing at all.

顔も似てないけど、役者の千切への解釈が酷すぎて… 「出来るだけ女性的に見えるように動いた」みたいなこと言ってたけど、千切の良さは動画内でも言われてたように「顔がどこまでもお嬢なのに男児！！！」なところなのに、何にも演じるキャラのこと理解してないんだろなぁって思った。

It'd be hilarious if the reason Kaiser is fuming turns out to be something like "he's on the same Asian team as Yoichi and their faces look alike."

カイザーがブチギレてる理由が世一と同じアジアのチームで顔が似てるとかだったら面白い

"Come on, it's fiction." ⬆ "Then don't drag a real person for laughs."

いやいやフィクションじゃん ⬆じゃあ現実の人物を揶揄すんなよ

Honestly at this point casting a boyish-looking actress might've worked better lol lol.

もはやボーイッシュな女性キャスト使った方がいいまであった笑笑
