The appeal of "Blue Lock" is how the players face their own egos and grow in a tough environment. This time, from Osamu's perspective, we will introduce the growth of each character in a ranking format!
1. Kiyoshi Yoichi
The main character, Kiyoshi, is the very symbol of growth. At the beginning of the story, he was unable to decide on a goal himself, but with each match he honed his tactical eye and acquired "metavision" to see through the movements of other players. His desire to win while facing his own weaknesses is the very epitome of growth.
2. Chigiri Hyoma
Though Chigiri was traumatized by his knee injury, he overcame his weakness by making the most of his weapon, his speed. The moment he overcame the fear of injury left a strong impression on readers and was a scene that made them realize his growth. The story depicts how his play, which makes full use of his overwhelming speed, blossoms into Chigiri's unique characteristic.
3. Nagi Seishiro
Nagi is a genius character who was indifferent to soccer. At first, he started playing soccer out of curiosity, but through playing against his rivals, he felt his own limitations and began to work hard. In particular, it is moving to see him gradually become obsessed with winning and grow while honing his ego.
4. Barou Shouei
Barou is a self-centered player who always wants to be the "king," but his growth is depicted in the process of reexamining his own ego. In particular, he recognizes the skills of other players and has the flexibility to incorporate them into his own playing style, gradually evolving into the "strongest egoist."
5. Bachira Meguru
Bachira plays freely, making use of the "monster" hidden within him. His growth is focused on how he faces his own "monster" through his interactions with other players. It's fascinating to see how Hakoraku learns to work with others while still maintaining his unique style of play.
Summary
Blue Lock is a story that depicts egoists growing beyond themselves. The process in which each character overcomes their own limitations through pressure and confrontations with rivals deeply moves readers. I'm looking forward to seeing who will evolve next and how they will evolve.
