EPISODE REVIEWS

Making a sports anime wouldn't be complete without a turn-around moment.While the rival team were leading by 3 points and the main characters were at 0, the deuteragonist Bachira Meguru breaks the chain by scoring his teams first goal. All by himself.As a result, the team gets inspired and wins the game with 4-3. Even the main character, Isagi develops a new skill that eventually propels Blue Lock's soccer career forward.

This episode is an absolute peak. Seeing Team Z go from getting clapped to finding their awakening is why we watch sports anime. The disparity between Team V’s god tier talent and Team Z’s desperation is palpable. The underdogs are finally evolving to survive.

OH MY GOD, talk about an absolute masterclass in pure hype! Down 3-0 against literal monsters, and Bachira just decides to go crazy with that ridiculous rabona? I was screaming! The whole jigsaw puzzle awakening concept is so cool, and Chigiri's self-pass was genius. Must watch.
