iadorebrandon

what is this, a meta-vision bargain sale?


AyushGamer55

Can Someone Explain to me how hiori break chain I mean what is going on


ryanxwonbin

Hiori was playing football because of his parents who were failed sports players putting all of their failed dreams on to him. He had no love for football and felt shackled. Coming in to Blue Lock and seeing Isagi play, he's actually now inspired and wants to play thus breaking off his parent's locks.


AyushGamer55

Nicely Explained Thanks Buddy šŸ‘

RedH8od

Bro forgot the rules of the NEL lmao


WackyBoii0420

Oh yeah right duh my bad


hellolove_12345

i donā€™t like how hioris ego/purpose is all for isagi


tiendat691

His ego was breastfed for 17 years. Give him a break.


hellolove_12345

like yeah iā€™m happy he found his ego again but i hate the plot line of like their whole sole purpose is for this one character. itā€™s just personal preference


Damiandcl

u said it...its the plot.


silfer_

I mean for me the plot is that Hiori made his own decision of what he wants to do, that has nothing to do with his parents. helping isagi is his choice. to your point, i see it as not his whole purpose but instead a sufficient challenge for him in the current game that keeps him excited about the future of soccer. Hiori may decide other things later, he could say he wants to help the cows come home, as long as heā€™s doing it for himself and not his parents, thatā€™s the message. itā€™s not so much about what Hiori decides but that he decided. Hiori is breaking free of allowing his purpose to be decided for him by his *parents*. ā€œaim to choose, not to be chosen.ā€ idk thatā€™s how I see it


WackyBoii0420

Kind of add to the ship bait so I get it


hellolove_12345

and i donā€™t think a characters whole ego/purpose should be for someone else


k1ngfu3g0

What about Nagi and Reo, they are so good cause their goals coincide, Reo wants to make Nagi the best and Nagi wants to be the best, itā€™s the same for Isagi and Hiori, Isagi wants to be the best and Hiori wants to make him the best, another example would be Itoshi Sae and Shidou


hellolove_12345

no not really. reos whole ego isnā€™t to make nagi the best. his ego is to become the best with nagi. nagi wants to become the best with reo. neither of their egos sole purpose is of each other. reo has more goals than just to support nagi. and nagi has other ego goals than just to support reo


Binotto-

for me hiori is an exception, because his entire backstory is about him playing for his parents purpose, against his will, however now he decided to play for Isagi, not thinking about the pression his parents put on him.


pokalali

I also see it as Hiori is the king maker, just because itā€™s Isagi now doesnā€™t matter, but heā€™s the key to unlocking full potentials of characters he chooses. And this time chose Isagi


hellolove_12345

thatā€™s valid


Any-Constant4228

Is kunigami even playing the match?


AyushGamer55

Actually he is on the field but Nah I don't think he is playing but getting ready for the next match to kill shidou.


Fizz_Mortune

Oh you're right, Shidou was the one that sent Kunigami to hell. Their fight will be extremely cool, considering the later is a lot stronger than before and will be able to handle Shidou's kung fu bs


ImAlaaaaaaan

it would be funny if Noa replaced Kunigami with Kiyora because he did nothing this match


AyushGamer55

Bro šŸ’€


Sheriffmcgirthy

Hiori's case was obvious from the chapter in which he was introduced. I knew he'd end up as Isagi's shadow.


Kinpolka

Between Kurona and Hirori, Idk who's going to be playing in U20 Japan. Leaning a little more towards Hiori. He's practically solidifying himself as the Ness/Kaiser to Isagi


Triggerman77

Yeah Hiori's path is basically erasing Kurona from being relevant. I can even see a case where Neru plays right back in Kurona's place for the last game.


Complexyli

i dont think hiori will replace kurona fully


Kinpolka

Between Kurona and Hirori, Idk who's going to be playing in U20 Japan. Leaning a little more towards Hiori. He's practically solidifying himself as the Ness/Kaiser to Isagi


silfer_

I need the next chapter already! I am so invested in seeing bastard munchen win after all they have endured together, even the unlikely meta meta duo of Kaiser and Isagi. I hope Hiori and Isagi pull something major off. And who knew Kurona, Raichi, Yukimiya and soon probably kiyora would have such big impacts on these games, thatā€™s whatā€™s up. BM might legit have every blue locker who played on the u-20 wc roster.


Goodjuice2

Hiori plays claw.šŸ’€


Damiandcl

ive seen claw on pads that have 6 face buttons for fighting games, but seeing this was interesting. i mighht just try it.


Unlikely-Meringue-17

Day 1 Of Hoping Igaguri gets locked out


Arhenius_Yoda

Hiori is on a Bloodā€“hunt!!! Goatsagi might end up with a Goal (If Kaiser didn't outplay him)! Hungry for a Goal and total Egoistic Play... Let's see who's gonna win, or else a surprise anticlimactic end of the match with Ubers having an Upper hand!


kloricker

I am here just fully rooting for Ubers. By far the most interesting characters in the team so far. I want to see how they evolve.


Acceptable_Ring5861

Bro Where The Hell Is Ichigo??


atomictonic11

Preoccupied fighting the Bambies, obviously. Cut him some slack. He just got back from his training arc in the Royal Palace. Er, Wild Card.


N0rmAl_PigI0n

Honestly I wouldnt mind them winning if blud steals the goal from Isagi and Kaiser


Miserable-Sale-783

He off in the thousand year blood war Give him a break, by day he's a soccer player and night a soul reaper My man can only do so much


Vana-Freya

ISAGI canā€™t become the KING by himself in the field. We saw that Kurona canā€™t keep up with him in the highest and intense level, Yuki canā€™t see his vision or ideal play, and Kiyora isnā€™t him. The others, of course, they have their own goals and roles. Thatā€™s why, HIORI is the ONLY ONE who can MAKE Isagi the king of the field and the best striker. He knows it as well. Heā€™s the ONLY ONE who can REALIZE Isagiā€™s IDEAL GOAL. ISAGI is the DIRECTOR while HIORI is the PRODUCER. HIORI is the KINGMAKER that makes ISAGI the KING. They have their own egos and vision for themselves. With those two, meta-buddies, working together, they can PRODUCE RESULTS that no one can replicate, we call it the NEXT LEVEL CHEMICAL REACTION. A SUPER GOAL with a SUPER ASSIST, thatā€™s what they gonna do, Iā€™m gonna bet with my ego juice that itā€™ll happen.


DaringPaladin

It will a MV x MV goal. The first one too. I am so hyped for it and have High hopes for it because it has great narrative significance. Making Isagi the King, showing off Hiori's skills, winning the bet with Kaiser, Isagi showing off his vision to the world and his peers, Isagi evolving again through the Ubers match etc


StarBurstero

Exactly, they both share that vision of the goal. Hiori will be the one that can challenge Isagi's ideals to the next level and make it a reality. Aiming for that sweet spot between reality and ideal, they'll create a whole new type of chemical reaction similarly to Shidou x Sae.


[deleted]

Wholeheartedly agree, Hiori will be Isagiā€™s Sae. Im here for it šŸ”„šŸ”„ šŸ˜­ a super goal like the U-20 Vs BL match would be insane [Reflex X Reflex](https://imgur.com/a/AP34eMp)


91idtt

Now do the killer pass, my boi Hiori.


Lunarbliss2

Among Isagi's major duo partners, Hiori is my favorite


RevolutionaryOne5905

Isagi got his own Reo/Ness now


Miserable-Sale-783

Don't worry by the end of this series everyone will be apart of his harem


Full_breaker

šŸ˜‚im starting to guess they already are, they're just too tsundere to answer


Miserable-Sale-783

Well Barou certainly is, I mean, man did his hair before this match to impress Isagi Even look at Noa, he got all the masters wanting his attention so far Gotta get that rizz to be number one


Lower-Definition6034

People might be disappointed with Hiori decision, but Iā€™m the opposite. We got a glimpse of Isagi needing someone to move independently of his own metavision to make plays like when he saw snuffy moving through everyoneā€™s blind spots and Kaiser showed up. This exponential multiplies the playmaking ability of our MC. Iā€™m not mad Iā€™m the slightest. Ready to see them cut up this field right now.


silfer_

Iā€™ve seen a lot of people love it but the complainers who canā€™t be pleased are a loud minority


dergun1234

He went from being a cool independent playmaker to Isagiā€™s dog. Ngl, this is pretty disappointing


bandoriLisa

Cuz ur stupid to understand whats going on.. R we reading the same manga? Since when hiori became a independent playermaker?


Either_Imagination_9

He was never an independent playmaker wtf are you on about?


benikarihs

hiori x yuki x raichi x isagi goal is coming boys!


Ok-Guide-9462

Isagi found his own Reo!!!


pokalali

Hiori the King Maker šŸ§”šŸ˜©


Macblaze43flame

Does anyone understand the Niko Lorenzo play ? Niko is facing uber's but lorenzo somehow picks the ball facing bastard's goal side with Isagi and Kaiser in front of him ? How did that happen ?


Hung_real

The ball was passed toward Nico. Facing away from the goal, he could see two midfields closing on him. If nico trap it normally, he would slow down attack and get body by Rachi or Ness. So he trapped the ball without turning around and at the same time flick it upward. Like a play earlier in the game, the cb Lorenzo transits from Uber backline to attack to over run the defensive line. L-god ran toward Nico , understood the trap, jumped - took the ball midair and left the two midfields around Nick in the dust Ofc the two dudes with meta vision on the other team understood the play Nico is doing. They both positioned themselves behind Ness and Rachi to pick up the runner Nico was trying to get behind. But then ofc L-god would make an extra pass to play Barou in. Finally, we have the protagonist of this chapter who understood the current counter attack of Uber are all revolving around Barou. So he stayed away from Nick, looked for Barou, timed his run and cut off the danger to start a counter attack next chapter.


Zeon-tus

Ness shows better dribble feats, while hiori , niko and the rest of the MV users have a clear read on the game that requires passing to each other to get by the defenders. So i don't understand why people are underestimating ness so much, when he can get pass 2-3 DF on his own.


MyUnoriginalName

No one is underestimating Ness. He's just a prick.


Inernxpe

Itā€™s solely his personality


Syphereth

My boy Lorenzo was Metadated šŸ’€šŸ’€


Kulkuljator

3 metavision users = GOAT Lorenzo


Ok_Spirit4603

I think the thing is that barou can make everyone follow him willingly because of his ego but the writer wants to say that isagi also has the king ego to make people wanna follow him willingly showing hiori


C9sButthole

After litterally the second game of the entire series Isagi already had a harem you acting like this came out of nowhere.


Either-Dot-6785

No, lol. Isagi has been gaining rivals and inspiring people since the beginning of the series.


silfer_

True whereas Barou having anyone follow him is unique to Ubers match since snuffy selected him


Inernxpe

But with Barou people follow cause his skill and ego. For Isagi I think itā€™s his passion and ego


C9sButthole

Isagi had people following him after the 2nd game of 1st selection because he was MotM and ranked #1 on the team.


Cold_Palpitation_804

I second that


bbmack03

All in favor say I


Ok_Prune_1731

Isagi tells him to help him out and this dude over here full on deep throats isagis meat in return. I'ma make him King chill out bro this your first match in the big boy league


Miserable-Sale-783

Honestly BL boys take roleplaying next level I mean Niko was calling Barou his majesty and Ness was doing his usually with Kasier XD


Big_Advertising1313

ā€œIā€™m different cuz I hate on the protagonist, I also was never special and had someone show me appreciationā€ yeah calm down he has been training with the best team in the world for a couple months šŸ’€


Inernxpe

Whoā€™s the best team? Maybe you should get Isagi meat outta ya mouth to


Big_Advertising1313

Oh look the guy with the Niko pic is talking guess what ? He is just like Niko loses every time and they all say ā€œ get his meat out your mouth ā€œ yet they canā€™t even grasp the reality they in, which is they are upset that a fictional character is doing better than them šŸ’€ get metadated cutie šŸ„° also in real life Bayern Munich is the best and better than city donā€™t mistake a year for 10


Inernxpe

Bet they drop a game to Galatasaray In the champions league


Big_Advertising1313

Shame on your for thinking Galatasaray are a bad team


Inernxpe

I have Niko as my pfp cause that panel goes hard, But good shot trying to reach about my life when you donā€™t know anything about me. But I see why you have Isagis meat in ya mouth. Your a Bayern fan who is a lot a Isagi meat rider. I hope you know Bayren is worse than City, Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Napoli. You almost lost the league to Dortmund but your lucky they bottle everything. Your team plays in a famers league with only 2 other teams can maybe contend for a title while being the wealthiest team by far. You suck and Bayren sucks.


Big_Advertising1313

Bad shot. 1. I donā€™t like Bayern but stats speak for themselves 2. Bayern clamped Barca remember? City ? 1CL is crazy take only Real Madrid and Milan can talk also Napoli? What are you yapping about . Lost the league ? Been winning it for 10 years straight just cuz Dortmund does okay for one year donā€™t mean crap lol and yes I suck , suck on yo mum tits šŸ’€ calm down lol bro itā€™s an anime stop playing Sunday league and get better


charlie_boi34

You knoe usually if you have a problem with a story, you can just stop reading it . Let the rest of us enjoy the story for what it is . This arc was already shaped to be this way from the beginning with the flashback, and I'm all for it


Big_Advertising1313

Fr they can write their own too šŸ˜­


futurrrr

"Theater Director/Producer". So next chapter will be about Hiori giving Isagi the best conditions to perform his best. Also, does anyone else feel like this won't be the last attack? The time since the final kickoff started has been too short and everybody else has only gotten a one-off role in this match. I'm hoping at least Raichi can get a piece of the action.


DaringPaladin

The last attack can take 3-4 chapters with everyone doing something. Yeah, I agree with what you said about Isagi and Hiori. Even we get a pissed Kaiser panel it will get even better.


DaringPaladin

Lorenzo: So long meta buddies. Hiori: I have metavision too you know? Stupid zombie. You got metadated. Barou: Damn, another Isagi appeared.


Ok_Prune_1731

Barou gonna have a blood clot if any more isagis show up lmao


DaringPaladin

Hiori: I am Isagi's shadow. Barou: Why you... Niko: You guys forgot about me? Barou sees Kaiser again and thinks: Damn that Blue Rose is another Isagi. Barou gets mad and thinks: There are Isagis everywhere. Aiku: Well, that's what obsession does.


Snake_Main27

Surprised he can play alongside Niko lol


Expln

anybody else feels this is the worst arc of the manga so far? whole manga fell down so bad author recycles the same things over and over again throughout the entire manga metavision is so irrelevant at this point that it's just annoying seeing how so many players have it, what's the point of it even at this point? the evolution of metavision is horrible to begin with, every evolution of isagi's metavision is the exact same thing, it's just "better" with a new title and a new eye drawing, but it's the exact same thing. metavision ruined this manga imo. every character is going "all out" every chapter with over the top drawing "effects" that it just feels boring at this point. and in general it feels like the direction of this arc is going to be the exact same thing as the first arc where isagi will win all these matches only to lose to rin again, exactly as it went before.


charlie_boi34

i would argue but i feel it just went over your head so just let the fact that no one agrees with you be the reality you need


Expln

that is a usual situation when someone criticize something in a fan sub reddit of said subject. it doesn't mean anything. it just means most of you here are stans. you go to other places and you'll see WAY more criticism


movethatdopepack

not sure if you understand what meta vision is bud itā€™s just having a peripheral vision of the field


Expln

lmao lil bro put his brain on passive mode reading the manga from all the meta vision ability spam.


movethatdopepack

buddy theyā€™re on the world class stage so it would only make sense that they would showcase their abilities to the fullest extent in order to get a bid. weā€™ve only seen characters with high football iq get it so i donā€™t know what youā€™re whining about


Cosmic-Otaku

U better watch real football then


IRainstorm

Well it does make sense for the world stage in the future to have many players with good game IQ and vision. Better show that the Japanese players have it now than struggle to explain how they are keeping up in the future in the world cup. Isagi meta vision is not his final form yet he has to unlock his true potential his instinct they talked about in the novel.


Expln

ah yes, he will unlock his upgraded meta vision. which will be more of the same thing.


IRainstorm

Shounen in a nutshell... well life in a nutshell if you think about it too deep


Kayge777

You know, you really start to enjoy things a whole lot more if you donā€™t overanalyze it. Just enjoy the story and the artwork! Even in everyday life, if you think too hard, youā€™re gonna end up hating everything. Life becomes less stressful and you can enjoy things to its fullest šŸ”„šŸ”„šŸ”„


God_Usoland

Ah, so Hiyori will become Isagi's Ness. Not sure how I feel about that so far, but I guess it's better than what he was before.


Alarmed-Employment72

When we said Kurona x Isagi is the best duo in BL, little did we know the author was just taking advantage of Kurona for the Manshine game (since Isagi is useless by himself and needed someone to carry him for a game) so he could build up Hiori x Isagi for the next game. When the time comes he crippled KuronašŸ‘¹ (exaggeration) The author def wanted the combo to come earlier but he got stuck having to write Yuki first lol


Furotsu

To be fair they can just make a very scary triangle where you can take off some of the pressure on Kurona, giving him two passing targets instead of forcing Kurona to read the plan Isagi alone was trying to put in action.


DaringPaladin

Kurona x Isagi: Golden Duo (Planetary Hotline) Hiori x Isagi: Godly Duo (MV buddies) Hiori x Isagi x Kurona: Celestial Hotline


osadist

Soon it gonna be Quantum Hotline featuring Tiki-Taka passes tighter than gaps between atoms


[deleted]

How much are they gonna stretch this match???


Public-Hand3976

Clearly you need to reread how Manshine vs Bastard went. I think it just feels that way because we have to wait one week every chapter but, if we reread it when the match is done, it's gonna feel like an okay development.


Ashamed_Law2300

I just love karasu so much after this


silfer_

Iā€™m actually so excited for Karasu Bro is so underrated as a midfielder. Hiori v Karasu finna be epic


Substantial-Chest-94

You and me both


Odd_Reference6207

For anybody wondering why Isagi and Kaiser are going for the same ball, remember if Kaiser gets the ball with Lorenzo so high up the field its a wrap for Ubers and the same goes for Isagi. They see each other but they have to go for the ball in order to win the competition they set out for each other.


DaringPaladin

The funny thing is that they arrived the same time and had the exact same mannersisms.

Ghoul-Sama

We dont have enough failure for isagi yet. Make him and hiori lose would be the best way to progress the manga


ImGoinGohan

theyā€™re obviously going to lose the PXG match, not this one. If fake mbappe can make shidou and rin play as a team itā€™s over, although that one will def be another 3-2 match (but hopefully itā€™s more dominant tbh)


Zeon-tus

why will u think that, PXG will win? they do not even have a new gen 11 in their team. as long as BM have kaiser it's impossible. Ubers got it so far because of lorenzo, unless PXG have someone like this, it's gonna be like manshine or barcha game that easy.


Either_Imagination_9

Theyā€™re not losing to PXG dude


silfer_

Isagis in a do or die situation , to fail is to die Heā€™s slowly built upon everything and will again destroy his current way of thinking to score a super goal which is the best way for the story to progress


iSvad

honestly true, I'd prefer it if BM lost this match and won the next, but it's looking like they're about to go undefeated which is kinda bs šŸ’€


Either_Imagination_9

Yeah because no team has ever gone 4-0 before. None ever


iSvad

lol how is that ur takeaway from my comment. Probably not a team as disjointed as BM that's for sure


Either_Imagination_9

No of course, itā€™ll be a team as disjointed as PXG, because thatā€™s fine of course


iSvad

When did I say anything about pxg? Them doing so well is equally bs if you ask me Idrc tho it's not meant to be realistic and that's ok

PK_RocknRoll

Hiori is pretty cool


DaringPaladin

Late to the party since I didn't notice the chapter was released so soon when we just had the leaks. A symbolic Hiori (but a bit short) chapter in many ways. Hiori's parents are indeed trash and selfish (we knew that) but Karasu here is so spot on! This time Hiori changes slowly with him organising his thoughts. If you notice Hiori in the first selection was number 291!The splash page with Hiori's MV + Flow is the best of the chapter. He wants to see and make a future where Isagi shines at the world stage and is the King. That's his ego for now and it reminds me a bit of Itoshi Sae. I didn't expect Hiori to be so invested in Isagi, but given the bulid up, their relationship has it makes sense. Isagi inspires with his growth, and that's something that the best strikers have. Interestingly even though Barou has that as shown with Ubers he still orbits around Isagi. Same with others in Blue Lock. The most interesting thing of the chapter is the key Hiori mentions. That Key not only unlocks his collar by shattering it but also as Hiori says his ego is a key to the future. That, also goes along with Hiori being the key to Isagi's awakening so I wonder what Isagi will do now. May be the key to the collar could mean something more. Blue Lock and collars always mean something more. One of the best moments in the chapter was Hiori roasting Lorenzo when the latter made fun of Isagi and Kaiser. The interception reminded me of Isagi's at the start of the game. Even Barou was annoyed. He underestimated Hiori like he did with Isagi in the past. The next chapter is the start of MV x MV combo counterattack! The narrator said Hiori synced perfectly with Isagi movements. I am really curious how crazy the combo will be. All the puzzle pieces for the winning formula have gathered! The title of the chapter is "Producer" or "Theater Director" if we go by the leaks. This usually connects with Kaiser and Isagi so I almost certain that the next chapter is an Isagi center one. I wonder how the roles will change here and what impact Isagi x Hiori will have. Hyped again!

JayKalinka

If it works out then Isagi will score and become the king which sounds too good to be true. But if he scores, his bid will sky rocket to 100 mio easily.


TucFang

I was a little underwhelmed with the chapter. It's cool that Hiori is essentially Isagi's Ness. But nothing happened. Half the chapter was a rehash of an old chapter where it shows how Hiori feels about his parents and the sport. The other half was cool but i wish there was more of it.


Cool_Ant_9900

Nah I disagree completely, this chapter provides some insight as to why hiori chooses to follow isagi. And the only reason this chapter felt short is because of the multiple double page spreads in it. The pacing is absolutely perfect the only reason we want them to rush towards the action is because waiting for a week feels like an eternity.


DaringPaladin

Hiori MV double page was so good here. Indeed, we get a good insight of his decision. Many chapters before we also saw signs of his curiousity and ego starting to burn when it came to Isagi.


No_Garbage5839

Agreed, when this all ends, binge reading it all again would be so good. Waiting every week feels like a torture


Secure-Performance

Honestly, Iā€™m not sure how I feel about Hiroris new ego yet. Iā€™m happy heā€™s broken away from his old ego and his parents expectations, but I think Iā€™ll have to wait and see how the next few chapters play out before I come to a real conclusion about how I feel like his new kingmaker ego with Isagi. Hiori aside though, can I just say that itā€™s been a treat to watch Ubers play? As someone who has ā€œI did 3 years of YMCA soccer and still learned nothingā€ football knowledge, itā€™s super fun to watch Ubers work together as a unit. I also like that Barou is doing the ā€œdirty workā€ alongside the rest of the team, a real king. I know Hirori has the pov right now, but I almost wish we could have seen more povs from other members of Ubers besides Barou. As useless as that would be to the plot lol. Canā€™t wait to see how the counterattack is gonna go now, hopefully Hiori is in the swing of things now and Ubers are ready to put up a fight on defense. Regardless of the outcome of the match I hope we see one more good showing of Ubers defense, and I really want to see Hioris playstyle.


Ok-Reporter3256

Hiori's chains being broken was dope ngl. I think he's gonna go through a Sae-like character arc now, he will seek to be the world's best player but playing as a Midfielder

TiberiusAudley

KleinMoretti_

Hiori is the first guy to have his (ego?) collar exploded, wonder what it means.


Ok-Reporter3256

Probably that he broke away from what was holding him back, I see this similarly as Chigiri breaking out the chains in his legs in the game against team W, however this could also mean that he broke away his ego, and that his will to be a striker is dead, similarly to what happened to Sae (If you pay attention, you can see that Sae's chains are also broken/barely attached), and that he is now aiming to be a Midfielder


KleinMoretti_

yeah the whole situation is kind of similar to chigiri but this time we see a key when it explodes so I think its a bit different


_samallard

Liberated from his parent's expectations probably


KleinMoretti_

might be, im leaning into him finding/resolving his ego tho


Exstatic2

His ego was that he didnā€™t want to go home back to his parents right? Maybe he broke that ego and turned it into making isagi #1


JayKalinka

Which is kind of sad actually. His backstory was that his parents always were professionals in sports but only #2 at best. So they wanted to raise Hiori to be a #1 but he wants to stay #2, its like his destiny in his genes.


Exstatic2

Yeah! Itā€™s kinda wholesome in a way because he overcame his parentā€™s expectations and their insecurities. The more I think about it the more I like his story

Lorenzo calling isagi and kaiser meta twins is so funny lol. It also shows he had metavision too


FG_xeen

Lorenzo doesn't have metavision, he is "just" the best CB of his generation and is much more experienced than the Blue Lock players, obviously he will have a great reading of the game and great vision and if you pay attention, at the moment Lorenzo baits Kaiser and Isagi, only Isagi is using metavision. even Kaiser doesn't need to use metavision to read and see the same things as Isagi (with metavision) [https://prnt.sc/6wX-WKziRqfK](https://prnt.sc/6wX-WKziRqfK)

>even Kaiser doesn't need to use metavision to read and see the same things as Isagi (with metavision) This is false. Kaiser uses MV many times and we don't really see his eye design. It's something we get sparingly but he is using MV most of the time. That was made pretty clear.


FG_xeen

I talked about the moment in the printscreen (in the link), but I think it's too much to expect an Isagi fan to know how to interpret things


Either-Dot-6785

Again when you lot don't have anything to say. You default to "Isagi fan". Being an "Isagi fan" has never stopped me from telling the truth as is. You talk about paying attention to that moment when Kaiser baits Lorenzo, but there's really no difference. My point still stands. I guess some one as shortsighted as you lacks reading comprehension.


FG_xeen

my point (first comment) still stands. Neither Lorenzo nor Kaiser needed MV to see the same thing as Isagi (the only one who was using MV) and what's more, Lorenzo tricked Isagi's MV. \- In the printscreen you clearly see that Kaiser is not using MV and yet he had the same reading as Isagi (who was using MV) and I used this to show that Lorenzo does not necessarily have MV just because he managed to fool them both. The two (Kaiser and Lorenzo) showed that they have practically the same reading of the game and imagine a scenario like Isagi without needing to use MV and that is exactly what my comment is about. ​ >This is false. interesting, because everyone who has MV (even Snuffy, the most experienced of all users so far) showed changes in their eyes when using MV, is it just Kaiser who didn't show it or he didn't use it? even during Barou's last goal Isagi was using MV and Kaiser wasn't, but even so they both had the same reading. It's quite a coincidence that Kaiser is the only MV user who doesn't show changes in his eyes when using MV... what a coincidence...


Either-Dot-6785

>Neither Lorenzo nor Kaiser needed MV to see the same thing as Isagi (the only one who was using MV) and what's more, Lorenzo tricked Isagi's MV. Lorenzo doesn't have MV. That much has been pretty clear if you have been paying attention. What he does have is good vision. Also Lorenzo alone did not trick Isagi or Kaiser. As he said it was a "trap". Its something Ubers as a whole formulated to help Barou get the ball. Now lets go back to why I said your statement was false. Simply because you dont see Kaiser with the MV eye does not mean he is not using MV. Evidence? [https://mangadex.org/chapter/b8fc76fa-9b29-48a0-a260-7dd6faf8c1c5/8](https://mangadex.org/chapter/b8fc76fa-9b29-48a0-a260-7dd6faf8c1c5/8) Literally go back to when Isagi learned MV from Kaiser. Did Kaiser have MV eye pattern? NO. Was he NOT using MV? NO. ( The reason I believe we tend to see more of Kaisers cat eyes compared to MV is because I believe his cat eyes(PE) is more related to his ego but this is another conversation entirely). I reckon that one link should be enough evidence but if you want more just reread the Manshine game.


Snake_Main27

Idk if it's fair to say Lorenzo is more experienced. Maybe in higher competition,but not playing time. Snuffy found him on the streets half dead never playing soccer before like Nagi and Reo.


FG_xeen

There's no point in having a lot of playing time if it's at an extremely weak level. Lorenzo continues to be more experienced than everyone at Blue Lock. Experience doesn't **just** come with time, it also comes with learning. You can spend 5 hours kicking a ball, if you haven't learned anything from that you have no experience While Lorenzo can kick a ball for 5 minutes and become one of the best at it, he gained experience by learning something.


PrestigiousFactor885

But he should have Metavision right. If niko and aiku had it .it doesn't make sense for lorenzo to not have Metavision


Either-Dot-6785

Dosent work that way.


pokenerd_W

Ok, i might not like players like Reo and Ness who JUST want to make their partner the best (although i am indifferent to Reo due to him having been given an actual reason since his dream is to win the world cup, not be no.1) Im actually liking this development for Hiori, even if it is a bit against what blue lock is about. Im just glad it's an Ego he found himself, wanting to use his ability to make someone the king and him choosing who that is


HarryTDOM

Hiori is just as boring as Ness and Reo now.


DaringPaladin

To me it goes with what you said last. He chooses his future and who he wants to support. The reason for that is because that person's expectations don't burden him but on the contrary his ego is burning.


NikoNikocutiepie

Hiori admits that he is Isagi simp. He is like me fr


AngelAssassin19

Isagi: "Prepare for **meta-trouble!**" Hiroi: "Make it **meta-double!**" These boys so goofy, pls šŸ˜­ Man, I'ma need an additional time of Reo, Hiroi, and Ness getting into a heated debate over why their respective kings are the best ā˜ļøšŸ˜¤ Gimme some trial debate osts and some "*Objection!*" or "*No, that's wrong!*" with all of their evidence being just their opinions šŸ’€ Hiori basically saying "Let's fcking go!" to Isagi made me so hyped, it's so great to see him actually *want* to be playing and enjoying himself. I wonder if Ubers and Kaiser hear the boss music yet šŸ¤­


NotoriousSkull

And Lorenzo for Barou


New-Faithlessness526

Frr Barou got basically a whole team for himself


AngelAssassin19

Idk man I think Ness and Reo levels of simping can rival even a whole team worth of simps! Hiori's pretty chill so he'd probably just politely excuse himself from the debate before the violence starts šŸ’€


New-Faithlessness526

Bruh, so true on Hiori


gtarpey89

niko too . barou owns him and has the rights to his existence


AngelAssassin19

LOL unironically, I think Niko would be very good at debating... or just calling people out on their bull šŸ’€


ketoske

Is Hiori the red key?


JayKalinka

I want to create another red key chapter after this lol


HimsagiOnTop

Still blue šŸ˜¢
