Reo as Isagi’s next big rival

As much as I love Bachira to be Isagi’s final boss or something, after rewatching episode 17 for the third time, it suddenly hit me… Reo might just be Isagi’s next big rival.

In episode 17, Isagi talked about how Reo was an all-rounded player who can utilize/balance Kunigami’s and Chigiri’s specialized skills. Bachira wasn’t in that match, but let’s add him as well since he also specializes in something.

Bachira, Chigiri, Kunigami are part of the main four, so it is expected that they’ll be up there in the top with Isagi, who’d eventually be the #1 striker since he’s the protagonist.

As #1, Isagi will have to work with those three. Devour them, use them, or whatever, but he’ll have to work with them. And we’ve seen how well he’s been working with other players, so much so that he’s now considered the heart of Blue Lock.

Now, back to Reo—

In the manga, Reo had gained metavision, a weapon that Isagi also has.

I don’t see Isagi suddenly becoming super fast like Chigiri, being able to skillfully dribble like Bachira, or gaining lots of power for a mid-range shot like Kunigami. However, I can see Isagi becoming an all-rounded player like Reo.

Isagi’s physical stats are something he has to work on, as addressed towards the end of the Germany vs England match. It’s unrealistic of him to start training to be a master of one this late in the manga and have his specialization be up to par with other players who have been good at something since the beginning. It is, however, still realistic of him to at least get full A’s in every stat.

All-roundedness + metavision + being able to work well with others/having leader qualities… Isagi and Reo would be basically the same kind of player. What would set them apart, then, would be their egos. Isagi’s ego is winning through his own goals, whereas Reo’s ego is winning through Nagi. (If you’re interested, I defined what I think “ego” means in this post: Blue Lock: Ego vs Dream, and How Dreams Must Be Accomplished Using One’s Own Ego)

Through oneself vs through others.

Sounds familiar?

It’s literally selfishness vs teamwork, the surface-level philosophy of Blue Lock.

Now, picture this:

Isagi, representing Blue Lock and its ideals, against Reo, representing not exactly the bad version or everything that Blue Lock doesn’t stand for (coz I believe that Reo has plenty of ego, which I further explained in Ego vs Dream meta linked above) but ideals that definitely still greatly conflict with Isagi’s and Blue Lock’s as a whole. Having Reo simply represent “teamwork” doesn’t quite sit right with me since he only really cares about Nagi, but he’s definitely shaping up to be Isagi’s parallel.

And I can’t wait to see it.

[Related discussion: Nagi, as Isagi’s foil, might become Isagi’s/Blue Lock’s enemy, carrying the theme of Talent vs Hardwork/Effortless vs Effortful.]

Post Phantom Blood Robert

Robert general HCS Prt 1

Generally speaking, he's amazing. Like real type of amazing that people seldom realise since he's the side character and got outshine;

used by the plot to hype the main character.

The only different is that instead of Jonathan, bro got subscribed to a thick ass plot armor (unlike certain blonde 💀🙏🏻)

Robert who literally lived in Ogre Street.

Who make a living there, survived his childhood there which if anyone say it was an easy feat then ig we all are a certain high tech CEO thay bought a social media platform and banned artist compared to this young lad.

Ain't no way that's a small feat.

But then how did Robert did it?

That place was littered with scumbags and people doing cracks,it was criminals R&R with black market operating 24/7 like a damn 7-11.

And you're telling me, this hunk of a man managed to grow up somewhat save until he reached his adulthood?

"He's build a tank!"

My homies. To be able to even grow that damn big at that time where the police is as loose as the law whilst plague and poverty come hand-in-hand; and people's corpse piled up at the side of the street like a garbage heap is a work miracle itself.

Robert is smart. He's lucky and he got the looks and the charms needed to survive in that hellhole.

He didn't even come close to those who rule the Ogre Street but he's a convenient dog for those who did.

Know that place like the back of his hand. The people, the layout. Things that died and things that stay alive. Keep an eye out all the time and vigilant.

When, what, where, how. Those are the questions he always kept himself updated on. He know it and act upon it, waiting for the right time.

Robert act like a dog on a leash when in reality he's a stray one, pretending for the sake of survival.

An instinct one adapt in the harsh world where the strong devour the weak. Survival of the fittest.

Maybe he's a fallen noble, maybe he was already there the moment he opened his eyes but one thing remain the same for this man : he's alone. always is.

Has no one to rely on, to asked or question what was happening around him.

An orphan most definitely.

" Survive. Survive. Survive."

Like a broken tape, those words are repeated, buried deep inside his soul, become a part of him as he grew older.

Robert who's a smooth talker. A lady killer. An amazing conman yet never lied outside of necessities.

Robert whose mouth are as foul as it can be, even Dio seem like a saint compared to him.

And what makes the man so charming? The reason why one such as myself is deeply infatuated with him?

Robert was kind.

Despite living and growing up in a literal satan's den, he had always been kind.

Naturally, in order to survive, the line of his moralities start to blurred as the days passed and yet he didn't forget who he was.

Robert tried his best to survive and didn't yield to the others and then;

He met Jonathan

and that kind soul finally meet a reason to leave that place.

Before, he had nobody, no one to give his heart to. His loyalty. No reason to leave that place. A stray dog without an owner.

and then he met him.

Jonathan Joestar.

His saviour, his owner. The one whom he swore to be by his side no matter what happened.

Everything start to makes sense. Everything start to feel right. And his soul had never been more at peace more than anytime other than being by his side.

part 2...?

I thought my date with AI bot reo was going well, why nagi the bus driver all of a sudden??😭

[bachirasbodyguard]

this fucked up love/obsession triangle is actually fucking insane like WHAT is going on in this manga at this point (complimentary)

I won't even be surprised if Ness 1st-degree-murders Mr. Isagi Yoichi at this point

[deathbyfiction]

Nagi sleep with one eye open

[ghostbeam]

Something very sinister happened when I saw Oliver for the first time in the manga…a dark cloud formed overhead…a sharp pain erupted in my head and caused me to fall to my knees

[thyandrawrites]

Sannomiya joking that after the last three chapters this manga is more of an "episode Reo" is so correct actually. It's his spinoff now. Nagi who
