Blue Lock Season 2, Episode 6″big stage,” kicking off the intense, career-defining rivalry between the Blue Lock XI and the Japanese U-20 team, it is an adaptation of one of the best arcs in manga history. Or if all the buzz will die? Coming out as previous episodes have been treated remains to be seen.

Blue Lock Season 2 still failed to live up to fans' lofty expectations. Due to various reasons So much has prevented the studio from giving this wildly popular arc the love it deserves, as long as fans remain hopeful. It just doesn't look too good. But there are some life-saving graces.

The waiting race begins.

Bluelock XI Vs U-20 Japan

Until now Blue Lock It works best for creating buzz or showing any action. But there were some good scenes in every episode. Fans had all their hopes for this match. And when entering now It starts with Sae and Aiku talking about how Shidou doesn't really get along with their team. And if he was allowed to play, the others wouldn't.

This arrangement eliminates any indication of how Sae would play on the team if Shidou was allowed to play. At this point, the Blue Lock XI team is still surprised to not see Shido on the team. However, this is not implied. Anything at this point belies what Sae has been up to all this time. Still, the fact that he's the only young striker on the team isn't bad either.

Important players of the match

Itoshi brothers gather together

Even though the main character of the show is Izaki. But the main focus is also shown on players such as the Itoshi brothers and other members of the Blue Lock XI and U-20 Japan, which is one of the show's strengths. Because it doesn't rely on just the MC trope and gives importance to every member of the team.

However, what's disappointing about the show and its focus lies in the show's recent pace: Even though Season 2 had almost no action at all, they failed to give any of the characters a proper backstory. The main players in Season 2 instead rushed straight into the action. It would have been nice to see the true motivation. Behind the scenes of some key players As shown in Aiku's backstory. Even though it's very short.

Creating crazy competition

Seeing something glorious despite its flaws.

The Blue Lock XI prepare to face the Japan U-20 team as they walk out onto the stadium. Although fans have been complaining about the animation and CGI since the start of Season 2, the buzz that has been building for the match. It's praiseworthy. Seeing the players looking at the crowd and shouting from the crowd will make you very excited. It's like you're actually watching the World Cup live.

Even though animation hasn't improved much, the use of CGI might be controversial right now. This is because it looks a bit better than the previous episodes and is better seen during Bashira's baby-raising sequence. and Aiku's defense sequence as well Nothing exciting But at least it makes it seem like there's still hope that the rest of the game will have better animation, as the Blue Lock vs. U-20 Japan Arc in the manga is considered one. Of the best arcs ever.

Generation competition

what could be

However, the match started a little too quickly. But seeing how far the Blue Lock team has come and their journey—if we leave out the animations and other negatives—feels really good. Seeing family members of our beloved players like Isagi and Bashira come watch their games was heartwarming. The match begins with the Blue Lock players trying to prove themselves in the most perfect scenario ever. Some of the strengths of this episode can be said about how far the players have come in actually believing each other.

The most entertaining part of this episode was the chemistry between Isagi and Bashira. Bajira's passion for playing with Isagi is the highlight of this episode. Although that was cut short when Aiku decided to put them in their place. and tell them that the team's defense is impregnable. In addition to the competition One of the most entertaining parts of this episode, as always, was the extra time where Nagi and Kenyu continued their game. Comparing U-20 players to animals, however, it takes a funny but dark turn when asked who Rin is compared to Sae. and makes the fierce rivalry between siblings clear once again. We can only hope that the studio uses all its production efforts to continue the competition to see how it goes.
