Itoshi Brothers / Still

itoshi brothers / “still”

just saw it and thought about them

Ego gets possessed idk it was funnier in my head

I don't hate the Neo Egoist League arc, it's had its moments, but this tiny little flashback moment was my favorite, and it's a shame that it's really just harkening back on when Blue Lock was a little more exciting and these four wonderful characters were all on the same team.

Like aw. Look. It's the core members of Team Z back in the day. Plus the immediate callback, of Bachira throwing a ball at Isagi's face.

It's also really cute how Isagi is irritated and about to throw the ball back at Bachira's face, until he says I wanted to hang out with Isagi, and then he's like "Me? 😳" and stops.

Also cute that Bachira wanted to see Kunigami! He played a match with him, was happy he was back, and wanted to talk to him. So he went to go visit him and hang out with his best friend.

Which is just. So good. Look at Bachira, wanting to play with his friends.

Also:

This shit is also a good call back, to literally the first chapter, when Bachira leapt on his back. Except this time he was able to land.

(sighing)

And then of course, my bachisagi scraps. Of course Bachira wants to team up with Isagi, and Kunigiri are on the other side, even though Kunigami is pretending he's straight.

But at least he begrudgingly practices with them, showing that something of the old Kunigami is still there.

Made me more emotional than anything else in this arc, really.

I miss when these yahoos were playing together and doing their best to coordinate instead of stealing goals from each other.

I know the story had to evolve past this, but. I don't know. The current arc doesn't really have high stakes, and there's just so many characters to not care about...

But alas.

worth it for this little moment.

bring them together more and I'll tolerate arc fatigue.

alice of human sacrifice but it's blue lock ⁉️
