Spoilers for Blue Lock Episode 14
On January 15, 2023, episode 14 aired, showing how Isagi and his team lost a three-on-three contest dubbed the “Rivalry Battle” to Rin and his team, leading to Bachira being taken away from them as per the regulations. Because of this, Isagi and Nagi are forced into a two-on-two match, with the loser being permanently eliminated. Since he didn’t have anything to offer, Isagi fared the worst in the final 3v3 battle. As a result, he came to the realisation that this was, in fact, a test of his one-on-one abilities and that he had been hiding in the shadows of his friends, who had helped him come this far the entire time.
Isagi was disheartened and had lost his nerve, but Nagi encouraged him, saying that we needed to give it our best in the next match and that acting like this wouldn’t help. And thus the duel got underway, with them joined up with his ex-members Naruhaya and King Barou, who were just as dedicated to victory as the rest of them.
While they may be playing an egocentric game, Blue Lock instilled in them the need to battle for their own cause and the release of pent-up rage in order to succeed. The pressure was on Naruhaya and Isagi, two ordinary players, but Naruhaya was playing some cruel mind games since they needed five goals to qualify and Barou and Nagi had already shown their worth by scoring two goals apiece. Naruhaya spouts several pieces of information to Isagi, including the reasons he decided to play with them (they thought they could beat Isagi’s squad) and the benefits and drawbacks of not being the sort of player who can combat alone. They need three more goals to win, and now Isagi must face Naruhaya head-to-head.
About Episode 15 of Blue Lock
As you suspected, Blue Lock is a football-themed anime. Even if you’re not a football fan, you definitely shouldn’t miss this season of the most-watched anime currently airing. It has all the excitement, fury, and emotion that make for a great plot. Due to its emphasis on individualism rather than teamwork, Blue Lock stands in stark contrast to more altruistic sports anime like Haikyuu! and Ao Ashi. The manga Blue Lock, created by Muneyuki Kaneshiro and drawn by Yusuke Nomura, has twenty-two volumes as of December 2022, and the anime is based on this work. The anime was created by Tetsuaki Watanabe and Shunsuke Ishikawa, who also served as directors, and was produced by Eight Bit Animation Studio. Both the opening theme “Chaos ga Kiwamaru” by Unison Square Garden and the closing theme “Winner” by Shugo Nakamura are excellent choices for this series. The protagonist of the narrative, Isagi Yoichi, is a high school football player and a fairly competent striker — that is until he transfers to Blue Lock and meets other strikers who are 10 times more capable than he is.
That being said, what is a Blue Lock? Blue Lock functions similarly to a military boot camp in that it enlists only the finest attackers in Japan in an effort to field a squad capable of winning the FIFA World Cup. It’s not your typical football practice in Blue Lock, though, because only eleven guys will make the squad and the others will be ineligible for future games. Since fame is awarded just to the highest scorers, this place attracts the vainest individuals. Therefore, they must make the most of their situation and figure out how to survive in a group of strikers. You have to put your feelings aside and keep becoming better, even if you have to forsake a buddy or they end up losing. They will ultimately learn to work together, create friends, and—most importantly—become the greatest, so there is more to this harsh and egoistic rank than meets the eye.
Preview of Episode 15 of Blue Lock
Only by fighting each other head-on can Isagi and Naruhaya hope to achieve their shared objective in the upcoming episode. Despite this, Naruhaya had made his first move by scoring a goal that aroused Isagi, and he had many questions and fears about himself since, despite having grown so much, he wasn’t able to give much to his team, especially in the previous game (episode 13). But if he wants to make it in Blue Lock, he’ll have to learn to control his anxiety and come up with stronger game plans. Isagi has come a long way since day one, and he picks up new information rapidly; as a result, we have every confidence that he will triumph in these two-on-two matchups.
Additionally, if Naruhaya and Barou lose, Barou will be the one picked, and Naruhaya may be disqualified, putting an end to their relationship and his trip. While this is happening, Isagi has to showcase his abilities and show that he has what it takes to become Japan’s best striker. The 15th episode of Blue Lock discusses where viewers in Asia may see NUMAnimation and the Air-One. Unfortunately, episodes of Blue Lock are available to view online without English subtitles on places like YouTube. Crunchyroll holds the licencing for this anime, so viewers outside of Japan may enjoy it in either its original Japanese or English dub.
