bird cage sounds ominous but nagi (baby chick) thrives in restriction so i hope to see nagi beating the stuffing out of kira for funsies <3

ik i sound negative af but i really did enjoy this chapter

and im also v excited for the next chapter because i need to see nagi

loki being ng11 is a demotion but oh well. better they nerf loki a lil than overpower isagi into a soccer god

charles now has the power to change art styles, good for him.

not very fond of hugos design, he looks boring

w the kaiser stuff, i already read a bunch of tweets abt it, and i p much agree w all of them so i fear that anything i do say abt it wont really be my thoughts

i enjoyed it. wish there was ness but i understand why there wasnt

i dont hate sae, i actually really enjoy seeing him and freak out over his every appearance like most of the fandom, but i love seeing him show emotions other than nonchalance and if isagis character is going the way its going, he should be clashing w sae at some pt and itll be explosive

like, if bllk loses to france by a hair and almost dies against england and then sae steps in, i want to see isagi get MAD. theres smth to be said for challenging yourself, theres smth else to be said abt watching someone drown and not helping

extra pts if isagi humiliates him in front of rin

the current scans are saying sae called bllk assclowns but im almost certain the translations were 'japan you make me want to puke' or smth

isagi has thrown (verbal) hands for less. i really need to see how their interaction will go

other things:

they really flashbanged us with aiku in a bra, sae looking bbg, kaiser in only his underwear with his tongue out, and hugo reveal, huh? kaneshiro and nomura mustve seen the viewership drop off and then went OK FINE HERES SOMETHING

interesting how theyre wearing it in the u20 wc but not in the nel, where the data mightve been useful for training and stuff

i wish we got barou in a not-bra. or rin. or kaiser. or kunigami.

but ah well.

and this also feels like the last time well see them so im not happy about this being their conclusion...

but ah well.

at least we got aiku in a not-bra

its v hot i quite like it but now i wish they had shown us more characters in these things... everyone is wearing it right?

im starting to sound like a broken record with this shit too arghrhhh

ok closing it up: neither onazi or kuso seemed to have changed from the start of the match?? onazi did you not get a new dream from this? kuso did you not realize blindly following onazi would lead to your ruin?

i dont know if it was intentional but kuso looked like he Mightve Been onto something before onazi cut in yet again with 'isagi youre so strong! we gotta fight again some day'

and then kuso went 'oh woaw onazi youre so cool'

but who am i kidding, kuso prob wouldve just went on another yap abt isg

theres no 'goddammit what could i have done to win' 'fuck i need something more, i wish i couldve won'

but theres also no real 'i know our team is flawed, theyre weak at x, y, z' or 'darn we shouldve gotten more attackers' or 'onazi we gotta break up this family deal'

back to kuso criticism:

hes not wrong about isagi being goated but 1) bachira is right there cmon man 2) readers have seen this coming for the last 300 chapters so kuso sounds like a broken record 3) compare this lukewarm shit to aikus rxn to losing or to isagis rxn to losing

anyways heres kuso being cunty before he sees isagi or onazi and turns puppydog:

god hes so pretty here

kuso babe youre pretty and all but oh my god stop talking about isagi. kuso is self reflecting but it comes off as 'isagis so strong he killed us' instead of 'were so weak we got killed by all of them, this is the world stage, we need to get better right now'

i was planning on not yapping abt it tho bc busy and tired and i feel like most of what i thought had already been said x100000 just because of how awesome the chapter is

like you know its an awesome chapter when everyone is talking abt it

but im waiting for my onions to carmelize so ill add in 2¢

/// bllk 326 ///

this chapter is amazing

nomura/kaneshiro forgor? or maybe loki was like. a ng11 when he was 10 or some bs, before kaiser and bunny

bllks gonna blast off into the fucking sky like team rocket 😭 the next few months are gonna be pain

they feel very 'right person, wrong time/place' as a ship

ik kuso and onazi are prob never going to show up but i hope kuso pines for onazi for eighty billion years before realizing 1) onazi never saw him like that and 2) onazi isnt right for him and then years down the line onazi, who is a well established athlete and matured, starts pining for kuso

its also interesting how onazi loves expectations and is giving people pleaser vibes while kuso hates people who constantly care about what others think

kuso do you need better glasses or are you a lying liar

maybe im misinterpreting it but i dont think i am

onazi pls dont have your hobby be 'my friends existing w me' pls get an actual hobby

and im sure theres something that makes you sad bro we saw you crying about loneliness in your backstory and your parents died. like. theres gotta be smth to pick out of that

kusos bio feels individual while onazis bio feels like he hasnt really changed since the match started. but ofc i am incredibly biased.

and i also dont like onazis family schtick. it feels very ch*p*tle manager, very w*lm*rt

also also:

kusos bio follows a theme of 'i like night i like loneliness' but onazis hobby being hanging out w his friends and what makes him sad being his friends hurt just makes me sigh. he doesnt have to drop his found fam after the match but i thought we were over this. it feels forced

more stuff:

i had a cousin who used to like chocolate but she overate it and threw up and now doesnt like chocolate, so kuso doing the same v haribo but still enjoying them is interesting.

could this possibly be a metaphor for his love for onazi? or am i just seeing things?

-onazi the entire time kept insisting he wasnt lonely while i feel like coyotes are more chill in their solitude, similar to how kuso was chill w competing for a spot and being alone

also kusos disliking fake ppl and trusting humble ppl is v dogboy coded. i dont know how but it is.

more yap:

it became obvious onazi was catboy when he got predator eye and kuso being dogboy makes sense

but im also happy the bios sort of support that

an arugment can be made for it being the other way around bc kuso saw onazi as someone lonely in their first meetup but-
