Dani: "I thought that was gonna be his friend" Isagi: Fuck friendship! I'm HIM

15:32 'Noel Noa' is not a real person, but the other guys that they showed, 'Pele' and 'Cantona,' are real football legends.

“There’s no i in team” “But there is me” Lmao I was dying because that is the essence of this anime

BlueLock is pretty much the opposite of Haikyuu in all aspects, at least what I've indulged in so far. This series is very ME energy

Its insane they made each character look like a lead character

OHHH YESSSSS THIS IS PEAK WE LOVE IT SO MUCH YOU GUYS WONT BE DISAPPOINTED NOT ONE BIT HOPE YOU GUYS LOVE AND ENJOY IT🙏🏽

When Dani was describing herself in soccer made me realize she was basically acting like Gagamaru.

as a former soccer player who played for a majority of my life, the message blue lock sends is something I NEEDED back then. i would hinder myself because i the thoughts and opinions of others. i wouldn't make plays i thought i could do because i was worried i would be called out for messing up or not passing etc, which would sometimes end up in my teammates who i knew were worse than me messing up. but if i watched this show and tried to gain more of an ego, i would've been a better player. i would've pushed myself further instead of being content with being held back by my team. of course it's a team sport but my point is it's ok to be selfish sometimes.

Other sport anime: It's all about teamwork Blue Lock: It's all about manipulating a team to work

AS someone who's biggest hobbies are soccer and anime, this show was a joy to watch. A truly different sports anime.

Okay! It’s LIT! I love watching reactors who have played sports watch Blue Lock. This was a surprise favorite of mine when it first came out in anime. Looking forward to seeing you all enjoy this ride.

It's one of the best soccer series I've seen in a long time.

I didn’t feel sad about Kira because ultimately he already had a strong ego that he hid behind pretenses. I mean in his match against Isagi he scored by himself and after that when he met up with Isagi he told Isagi he would love to receive his passes, meaning he acknowledged himself as more of a striker than Isagi. In a way I find that ending fitting because it’s like Isagi telling him that he is a striker, shooting him instead of passing to him.

Every formula you learned and saw on haikyuu is completly fliped and thrown out the window

Oh, now we’re REALLY locked in. I love this anime, because sometimes it’s exhausting to be humble. We all have egos, we all want to win, and this anime shows that there’s no problem with that. Also, some of Ego’s philosophy can be applied off the field, just my own personal take away from the anime.

noel noa is not a real life player but he is inspired by real players, the author said that he was based off luka modric and antonio griezmann, and this is the case for most characters in the anime, there play styles and even personalities are based off real players.

Yay! I hope you guys like this football/soccer show! My only basis for soccer/football before this show was Inazuma 11. Which is also a football anime/soccer anime. Since you guys have soccer backgrounds/football backgrounds, this should be a fun reaction. Looking forward to more of your childhood soccer stories/ childhood football stories as the series goes on. Lol. Love you guys, sorry for dragging the football/soccer bit. Haha

ego's speech is not directed to soccer players but only the striker position players and he's spot on.

Hell yeah former soccer players let’s gooo

Oh wow, you guys are reacting to Blue Lock 🔥🔥🔥Definitely showcases a new perspective, hope you enjoy it

The Pics of the React Pack back when they were puppies warmed my heart😊😊 We might need to start calling Dani; Dani Messi, or Dani Neymar out here😅😅. I hope her soccer expertise shows up in future episodes.

Hell yeah, I freaking love Blue Lock, fav sports anime since Kuroko.

Isagi: "Best friends? what's that?" LOL.. Btw 25:01 the one with red-long hair is one of Isagi's harem

Blue Lock is the best Soccer “anything” I’ve seen so far. Enjoy.

As Ego said in the begining, "abandon all common sense", that applies to watching the anime too. Good hype though and amazing characters.

It’s funny that after the anime came out Japan became a good team. Most of there national team players play in Europe and they even have a premier league star with Mitoma. Also they just beat Germany 4-1 yesterday in GERMANY.

Hey I'm almost positive those mics should be flipped around so the buttons face you guys. You can check the manual for the exact polar pattern, to see which area should be facing your mouth. Otherwise great!

fun fact: when making the anime adaptation they had to censor some of the things said, like at 14:20 when ego said "lock off" he said "fuck off" in the manga

One famous manager said that offense wins you games but defense wins you titles and trophies and that is very true everyone just usually gravitates to strikers since it is the position with most glory stereotypically. Awesome reaction btw :3

Finally some soccer content coming up great show guys this is gonna be EPIC!!!

“Self-centered” yeah thats pretty much the point of Blue lock XD

The most intense manga sport and anime out there and the characters are all MC material. They can have their own series it all of them would ate.

The cool thing about this show is we've seen a bunch of sports media, be it episodic series or movies, be it anime or live action, be it fictional or based on the real world that have "teamwork makes the dreamwork" kind of message. Of course in a team sport, that's the logical message to be delivered. But we're in the medium of anime! Where stories can be about teenagers that can morph into skyscraper tall titans. Of course there's still a place for stories like Haikyuu. But there's also a place for squid games football/soccer maniacs.

18:09 The power of timeskips

Funny to see them worried about teamwork, high school tournaments and nationals, nah. This anime doesn't think small like that, we're worried about being the best striker and winning THE WORLD CUP! 😎

If a striker is strong and has an indomitable ego. The team is already automatically gonna be formed and work around him.

18:21 Neurons fully activated.

As of right now the best football player from Japan is Mitoma. Guy is an absolute beast in dribbling and speed

Would you watch the opposite of Blue Lock that is Ao Ashi?, is more focused on young development and the strategical side of football.

I find it funny that y’all been watching anime for so long but didn’t know about “anime seasons”. I recently started anime and I just learned about it too

Can’t wait until they watch it fully so I can react back to back so I’ll wait 😌❤️

Ego Jinpachi has the same VA as Levi from AOT.

Thank you Patreon folks.

I loved the message of the anime, I really needed it, something different from all that common sense of anime, one of you said you thought Ryosuke would become Isagi's best friend, and no, it's about winning, and it makes perfect sense, losing their dreams (it would be like a life or death situation) is what makes them evolve and awaken. I don't like sports anime, but this one is totally different.

His voice actor is the same as takechan (the karasuno high school teacher) from haikyuu

i like this anime a lot, brought back the feeling i got when i saw "Hungry Hearts: Wild Striker" from 2002

LESGOO, can’t wait for all of yous to see more of HIMSAGI

Idk if it was intentional but the play button in the back is such a genius idea

One thing I'ma say, Blue lock definitely breaks a lot of cliches for sports anime lol

"outside mid", that how you know they played soccer and not football 😂 Funny how even the words used are so different in the US 😂

A poll for the best winter anime is crazy😭 glad it won tho

It's about becoming a better player and beliving in yourself. If you are stronger the team benefits from it

More people should react to this series, it made my sister like football.

Brazilian here, Yep, Pelé said that "every position i am the best player, always and always"

Banger Anime, very excited for the reaction! I'm so excited for y'all to get to know these guys!!

That rengoku poster in your background is my pc wallpaper😂😂

Eren = Isagi Connie = Igarashi Levi = Ego (same VA) Ichigo (Bleach): Kunigami Kurama (Yu Yu Hakusho): Chigiri

just to clarify, this show goes from 0 to 100 REAL quick

Blue lock is so good! Glad to see you reacting!

Can’t wait for y’all to meet Chigiri.

Ego isn’t talking about a team mindset, he’s talking about a strikers mindset, instead of spending all your time learning team play and strategy involving your whole team, he wants to train strikers to excel individually and be greedier on the field

It’s impossible not to fall for Dani!!

I REALLY LOVE THE ADDITION OS THE THIRD GIRL. She’s hella cool. And really smart

16:55 "there's no i in team" "BUT THERE'S A ME IN THAT MF" - KOBE/ISAGI

Playing barefoot is actually feels better, when i was a kid, i played football at the tar road in front of my house, it's not that bad, sepak takraw ball is much harder

Team z: Isagi Yoichi, Bachira Meguru, Chigiri Hyoma, Kunigami Reinsuke, Imamura, Igarashi, Kuon, Raichi, Gagamaru, Naruhaya, Lemon. The blue fire in Isagi's eyes and most characters in this show will have are called "aura eyes".

This is "Im HIM" the anime. Aint no room for friendship

For future tie breaks, maybe just make a new poll, with just those two shows. Make it a 24 hour poll and call it there.

To answer the question at 14:58, yes, are correct lol. Because of censorship for the anime. Anime: Lock off. Manga: F*ck off. Another fun fact, Ego Jinpachi here in the anime calls them "diamonds in rough", in the manga he refers them as " Unpolished gems" which I found kinda disheartening when I started the anime, since it sounds a lot cooler imo.😅

The "HYPE" sports anime it's freaking fire!!

Blue Lock is the Squid Games (or Kaiji) of Soccer.

In the manga, ego say "F*ck off", not "Lock off"

Ego and Levi is the same VA

Former Soccer Players who don't know it's very much possible to play soccer with your feet without getting hurt 😕

The concept of this show, egoism, has an actual study on it and how it affects athletes. Not just soccer but almost every top athlete has a much higher ego than average players. Michael jordan, tom brady, heck even team friendly players like wayne gretzky at the end of the day would say "i want to win".

Bachira and Isagi the GOATS!

Wait a minute? You lot played football? I had no idea, but I love you even more now haha

YES FINALLY YOU GOT TO THIS!!!

Yeaaay...🥳Finally.... Thnks Onee-chan's for reacting one of my fav sport anime...👍🙏❤️

w first sports anime for morgen lol

Yay! Blue Lock! I've commented on Okkotsu86275's comment but yeah, it's not like Haikyuu! It's not "Teamwork makes the dreamwork!" or "The power of friendship!" kind of anime. It's more of a "Teamwork? F*** teamwork!" I know it's not kinda logical in a team sport...but I'd like to think Blue Lock is more of being the best person or version of yourself than just relying on your teammates. If that makes sense lol

Blue Lock with react pack Wohoooooo

Might have to sub to the patreon for this tbh

CAN'T WAIT FOR NEXT EPISODE REACTION

Ego is probably the most important dude in BL and the one that has the most interesting things to say. Remember that.

My ears are crying

Never thought you guys doing blue lock. ✌️

It seems that the only countries that use the word soccer are Japan, America, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. When I watch reaction videos of people from Europe and South America, it's funny to see some people look unconvinced by the word soccer.

My favorite ladies and one my favorite sports/new anime

After Blue Lock, Kuroko no Basket would be pefrect title to watch too

rip dr stone

FINALLY IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOREVER OMG IM WAY TOO EXCITED

its a deconstruction of the team sports genre in a way, can't hate the message

blue lock is the best sports manga! ull love it! (anime is still good)

If the React Pack Reacts to Hajime no Ippo, could be Perfect, i Swear

FINALLYYY

Ego's voice is the same as Levi Ackerman

The guy over it blue lock basically said all the best world strikers have big egos , so to become like them that’s what you got to have , Japanese men’s team lack that in real life too unlike the women’s team who’s great

It’s good it’s good ! it is football

We're not in Nankatsu anymore, Toto.
