ReoNagi and their Lack of Communication
blue lock has me in a chokehold, so have this brainrot as an offering (manga spoilers ahead)
My take on the ReoNagi trainwreck:
For starters, I'll just say that (in my opinion,) Reo took Nagi for granted. Which came back to bite him in the ass. He simply assumed that they would stick together throughout Blue Lock, and didn't think that Nagi would change and start to think for himself.
But so did Nagi, if you look at this panel:
Nagi seems to believe that what he did was right, and he took for granted that Reo understood his actions too.
I believe that at the root of their problem is their lack of communication:
(heck, it took them months before Nagi finally voiced out his train of thoughts behind his actions, though it didn't help that Reo was still reeling from the 5 stages of grief (and pettiness) to approach Nagi)
This probably steams from Nagi simply assuming that Reo understands his train of thought, his actions, why he made those choices, likely because of how well they sync on the field:
But off the field? Reo is simply his babysitter, at best he's making guesses as to what Nagi wants, not reading his mind.
How do you expect him to understand you when you don't say anything, Nagi??
I'm not saying that Nagi's decisions were wrong, though. At it's core, Blue Lock is a place made for them to find their inner "egoists" and grow from there. Nagi simply understood that philosophy first. I'm just saying that he could have got his ideas across to Reo better.
Because while Nagi understood Blue Lock's philosophy, I think he completely missed the fact that he nearly lost his closest friend.
During the Manshine vs Muchen match, Reo had already resolved to move on alone, when Nagi approached him to ask for his help.
Which seems to me like Nagi was completely oblivious to the inner struggle that Reo was going through (and still is oblivious).
Hence my point that just perhaps, if they had talked to each other before abruptly moving on (Nagi) and cutting the other off (Reo), it would have saved their friendship. As it is right now, their friendship seems pretty shaky (on Reo's side).
(although i concur that their "break up" was a huge factor in Reo's growth as a football player, but was the mental stress over Nagi worth it?)

You know what Yunzhiyu has always impressed me on? Whenever I feel, "oh, something is lacking about a certain aspect," somewhere in the next couple of episodes, they actually deal with that.
"Oh, we haven't seen Shangguan Qian and Shangjue yet," They start living together.
"Oh, we don't have enough on wufeng's schemes" Wufeng schemes.
"The Gong Family seems really lacking right now" Gong Ziyu talks of how he feels the family is lacking + Scenes of the Gong family doing Their Thing.
"Yun Weishan and Gong Ziyu lack something together," First trial scenes and romantic development.
"Gong Shangjue and Gong Yuanzhi are so annoying" We get their backstories.
"what's up with Jin Fan?" Jin Fan lore.
"The plan is so weird," The plan gets explained.
Yunzhiyu is, in my opinion, exciting because it gives us just enough room to breathe, to theorize and make guesses about all the machinations. They treat all the characters with what I feel is great level of affection, letting them shine and giving us glimpses of their depth. Theorizing just makes the experience better for me.
The second half just started, we'll see what they have in store.
