The frenzy of highly anticipated and intensified games against the Japan U-20 team in Season 2, Episode 7 of blue lockentitled “Sae ItoshiAs the name of the episode suggests, it is clearly focused on showcasing the skills of Sae Itoshi, whose long-awaited debut with the U20 team has garnered attention not only in Japan but around the world.

Sae's arrival comes with a lot of pressure and high expectations, but the Blue Lock XI welcomes the challenge – even more so for Rinne. The determination in each of them intensifies in the second stage and indicates the revelation of their hidden abilities.

The race continues

The ultimate defense against the ultimate attack

The battle between the teams continues as both the Under-20s and Blue Lock have a lot to prove in this match. Both sides push forward with their star players at center – the Itoshi brothers. While the U-20 team claims to have analyzed Blue Lock XI's data, the latter still manages to shock the U-20 with his unexpected skills, though none of them can match what Sae shows. Let it be compared.

Although the star is under 20 years old, “Lil Genius” initially tries to play as a team to show his strength and pass to others. However, even with little hope and low expectations from his teammates, he eventually passes to Sandow and he makes a solid shot. Unfortunately for the U-20s, impressive goalkeeping by Gigamaru stops the effort. Having no choice but to show his brilliance, Sae steps forward, intercepts the ball and scores from an angle that would have seemed impossible for most players.

It's not over yet

Improvisation is the key

Gol Sae amazes everyone with her extraordinary talent show, especially the shocking Isagi. However, Rin remains undeterred and assures Isagi to stay focused, promising to turn the crowd's cheers into groans. The game resumes as Iago discusses with Anri how the original Blue Lock training script is no longer effective. He points out that improvisation is the key to victory and believes that players must discover this approach on their own.

The team begins to rally behind Rin, who takes the lead in deciding the game. Under his guidance, the Blue Lock XI will run a new formation that emphasizes relentless attacking and keep shooting until they score, which would seem incredibly smart in this scenario. If you can't jump over an obstacle, the next best thing is to break it with brute force.

Goat and MVP

His name is Nagi Seishiro

Rin and Isagi continue to push forward, using short passes to break through the defense. Bachira joins in as Rin uses a backhand pass on her. Nagi asks for a pass, but Bachira thinks it's better to pass to Rin since he's their strongest player. Rin gets the ball and tries to copy Sae's goal, which as good as he is and as great a shot as he is, ends up coming up short and being saved.

Nice to meet you, Japan. I am Nagi Seishiro.

However, Rin's improvisation is the key to unlocking the entire team's offensive strategy. Yukimiya and Isagi charge forward with frantic passes, but Aiko holds them back as well. Next comes Utoya, who tries to take a shot but is deflected. The ball is thrown to Nagy, a lazy genius who has been somewhat underestimated by others at this point. Nagy lifts the ball to save the clearance and leaps to score one of the craziest, if not the best goals ever seen in the series, while showing all of Japan What a myth he is. tie the score

Nagi, the savior of animation

As ongoing memes suggest that the animation improves every time Nagi or Bachira appear on screen, this is further proven here. Although it would be an exaggeration to say that the animation or production in this episode was excellent or even good, but it had good frames and scenes. However, Nagy's score was certainly well animated and the whole sequence was very well done.

If this is any indication, we may still have hope for future episodes blue lockbecause 8 bits may have focused all their budget and time on the most important goals. But for now, this is just speculation. It would be great if this were true and fans might finally forgive them for butchering one of the best and most famous arcs in manga history.
