I'm (not) Fine

You're leaving and all my dreams are leaving with you.

You'll forget about me

You'll forget about me

I know I'm gonna lose a great love and a good friend.

Tell me, then, how will it be...

Me without you

If Reo became a hard-core Isagi hater in 2nd selection just bc Nagi wanted to learn something new imagine what's gonna happen now.

Bachira gonna have to sleep with an eye open from now on 💀

For those who haven't gotten hold of bllk chap 300, let me sum it up for you:

"You don't need to say "I love you" to say "I ABSOLUTELY FUCKING LOVE YOU"

-Nagi Seishiro

FIN

"You're being dramatic! You CAN'T die of love!"

Oh?

I dare you to say that to Nagi Seishiro's face

I'm feeling bittersweet at the prospect of Reo leaving Nagi behind once and for all (albeit forced to do so)

Like, if he wants to survive, he'll obviously become an individualist now, there's nothing (no one) holding him back either. And I absolutely want him to get better and shine with his own light, he deserves that. But, I don't want him to completely forget about Nagi as a period of his life that's over now.

Death in blue lock doesn't mean death in real life, and I have the slight feeling that people in blue lock don't realize this. Or at least they say goodbye like they're never seeing eachother again when they could if they wanted to.

I just wished Reo realized he wants Nagi besides of what he brings into the field, and that he can pursue soccer in solitary and still love him at the same time.

Blue lock is designed to install the mentality in them that their whole life has to be about soccer when, in reality, once they step off the field, once practice is over, they also have a personal life to take care of. Because they have been locked up in there for so long many of them don't think about this but I wish they realized that eliminating a friend doesn't mean losing them forever.

In case Nagi quits soccer or keeps playing but in a smaller league, I hope he's still invested in Reo's dream and cheers him on even from afar. And for Reo to think about their relationship and how, everytime he pictured the World Cup as a treasure he wanted to aquire to prove himself, he also thought of Nagi as a treasure he failed to make his own, and perhaps, chooses to pursue Nagi too but in a different way. Like, it's fine that while you're playing you're the most egoistic person alive who only thinks of achieving greatness by yourself. But outside of that you're still a human with other feelings besides your pride.

I feel if they both realised they can dedicate themselves both to soccer and to eachother without necessarily having both things together, they'd be the perfect couple.

Maybe we'll get to see a bit of that reflexion on Nagi's part after he gets locked off in epinagi?

I just know I don't want the spinoff to just end there with Nagi don't doing anything with his life and Reo being heartbroken. I want their relationship to evolve past blue lock not as football stars but as people.

There's a lot of ways to be partners and it'd be a great chance to show that, even if blue lock's mentality is the right way to be a striker, it doesn't have to define you as a person. You can have dreams outside of soccer that don't interfier with your career. Be a star on camera and a human at home.

A striker isn't supposed to have relationships holding him back but a human is allowed to love.

Question:

I've noticed Reo has quite the pretty crying face up until the last panel

Let's see if you can find the difference

Exactly, Nagi's back is turned for the last panel. Which made me think, could this be something similar to Aot where Isayama said he drew Mikasa more beautiful when Eren is looking at her?

Have we been tricked into believing Reo looks cute while being a mess when it's just Nagi's perspective? Bc he ain't gonna be looking like a goober while Nagi confesses 🤍🙏

I wanna see bltv shippers talking about what just happened. I bet they're going as crazy as us.

Tremble for yourself, my man

You know that you have seen this all before

Tremble, little lion man

You'll never settle any of your scores

Your grace is wasted in your face

Your boldness stands alone among the wreck

Now learn from your mother or else

Spend your days biting your own neck

But it was not your fault but mine

And it was your heart on the line

I really fucked it up this time

Didn't I, my dear?

Didn't I, my dear?

Weep for yourself, my man

You'll never be what it's in your heart.

Weep, little lion man

You're not as brave as you were at the start.

Rate yourself and rake yourself

Take all the courage you have left

And waste it on fixing all the problems that you made in your own head

But it was not your fault but mine

And it was your heart on the line

I really fucked it up this time

Didn't I, my dear?

Didn't I, my -

Imagine a few years from now Nagireo have their melodramatic, sad, nostalgic and romantically tense reunion before a match with team z 4 watching be like:

N & R *looking at eachother like they would bang in front of the whole stadium*

Isagi *looking at his feet: Yep, the grass is very green

Bachi *looking at the clouds and whistling

Kuni *shifting uncomfortably

Chigiri *staring straight at them: disgusting (affectionate)

Nagi and Reo having their emotional moment before saying goodbye indefinitely

Isagi el desubicado out of the blue:

Bro 💀

We ain't exactly talking bout soccer here, are you deaf and blind?
