Happy Birthday, Izana! 🎴 And Merry Happyday, Kakucho! 🦋

revision

“blue lock is just a manga about soccer” “blue lock is fruity and nothing else” i think nagi's character writing alone can immediately shut down all of these accusations. so now that chapter 302 has finally been released, let's have a (not so) quick discussion about nagi's character.

let's start from the beginning, during nagi's childhood. we've never seen a flashback in the official manga of nagi's backstory, nor do we see one in episode nagi, but there are numerous hints that lead us towards what might be nagi's childhood. in the egoist bible, it's said that nagi was raised with a very hands off style. in episode nagi, nagi says that his parents once told him “don't die before we do”.

so there's a lot to unravel there. for one, we can safely assume that nagi's parents likely weren't extremely involved in his life. judging from the way that nagi goes to an elite prep school and can live on his own with a consistent amount of food and lots of furniture, nagi is well off. judging from these factors, i wouldn't be surprised if nagi's parents were people who had to go on business trips often.

now, about the thing that they had told nagi. for one, nagi is seventeen when reo first meets him. a parent probably should say these sorts of things to their child in the first place, but for the argument's sake, let's just say that his parents are extremely inexperienced and not good with social cues. we can see that nagi is clearly emotionally stunted, likely from a lack of parental guidance or warmth as a child.

a parent telling their child about dying at such a young age is already alarming. yes, i know that there are warm and loving implications. that the parents wouldn't be able to live without nagi. but at the same time, considering how there are some people who are extreme pessimists, wouldn't that also imply that the parents should die before the kid?

and i'd also like to bring up another point. when nagi goes back “home”, he goes back to his dorm at school, not his parents’ house. i know that nagi still has to go to school, but does he not even bother to go to see his parents? do his parents not care enough to go and visit their son, who they watched fall from grace?

but i digress. basically what i'm saying is that from all of the hints we recieve throughout the story and additional media, nagi was likely emotionally neglected as a child due to his parents.

now let's talk about his relationship with reo. you can interpret their relationship in any way your want, though i personally see them as romantic. i think kaneshiro wrote them as soulmates, considering how they're both opposites and the same. reo recieved a suffocating amount of love in his childhood because his parents were so involved in his life. at least, that's how it is at face value. although, like nagi's parents, i have no doubt that they surely love reo, reo's parents definitely view reo as an heir to the corporation sometimes rather than their own son.

reo is seemingly always emotionally mature and calm, but that's not the case. we see numerous times throughout the series that reo has seemingly “grew” and that he has gotten over nagi or that he can do everything by himself from now on. but the momnt that something happens between him and nagi again, his development always end up shattering. reo is emotionally immature when it comes to nagi. i don’t think there's any other way to put that.

i think that nagi began to care more about everything after meeting reo. but at the same time, i also think that nagi is the type of person who cares too much. he cares so much that he pretends that he's just some nonchalant guy. in chapter 302, we see nagi walk by the stairs that he first met reo on and reminicing the time he met reo. but he continues to deny his love and desperation for soccer, until the end of the chapter, when he breaks down in tears.

nagi reminds me of a parent in a way. the type who continuously puts their child through hardship and always making their child do so many extracurriculars and sports, and the child just htes them, but when the child ends up being a successful adult due to the extracurriculars, the child finally realizes that the parent was just trying to thelp them all along but wasn't good enough at communication to tell them. i think that was reo and nagi’s relationship during the second selection, though nagi isn't reo's parent in any way shape or form.

i think nagi was originally just suppoed to be the stereotypical lazy relatable lovable genius character who would get blue lock more popularity, and i think reo was originally supposed to just be some annoying little brat who only saw nagi as a dog. and during the first selection in the original blue lock manga, before episode nagi released, i do believe that's how it was.

but i digress, i'm reaching too far there. so now let's talk about isagi and how isagi shaped more of nagi's characterization.

reo was the reason why nagi ever played soccer in the first place, isagi was the reason nagi continued, and reo was the reason why nagi kept on playing soccer to the end and why nagi couldn't play soccer anymore.

i think that isagi, similar to reo, serves as an opposite to nagi. but unlike reo, who still shares many similarties with nagi, isagi is completely different to nagi. i think that's the real reason why nagi chose isagi's team during the second selection, and not actually because of isagi's goal during the team v vs team z match.

so yeah, sorry for the yap session again. basically nagi is someone who pretends to be nonchalant but secretely cares too much lmao.

raging feral bachira gremlin you say? 👀

YOU DON’T EVEN KNOW

Me fr

rin itoshi ʚ ɞ size kink

🧁 smut mdni , size kink , manhandling , praise

thinking about your boyfriend rin who has a painfully obvious size kink and just loves to deny that he has one. he thinks it’s vulgar you’d even suggest such a thing!

he’ll say this, then take a second too long staring at your shorter stature when he’s towering over you, or when he purposefully makes you stand on your tip toes just so you can try to reach him for a kiss.

he even does this thing sometimes where he’ll just pick you up with such ease so you can reach the top shelf. it’s a casual flex that he makes out is no big deal, but you’re definitely sure you felt a graze of his boner on your ass.

then comes him ‘unintentionally’ manhandling you during play fights, his larger build and insane strength giving him the upper hand every time and ultimately leads to him having you lead down on your bed with his bare cock lined up on your stomach, reaching way past your belly button, talking about just how small you are compared to him and wondering how he’s gonna make it fit.

but he’ll have you completely under him nonetheless, his broad frame engulfing yours while his tip alone is already making you a whimpering mess, completely stretching you out and rin feels like he’s experiencing pure bliss.

he also has this habit during sex where he’ll press down on your stomach, feeling how much of him you’re taking, whispering dirty praises in your ear about how pretty you look under him, taking his huge cock like a champ.

so, when you lay this all out to him, his ears and cheeks insanely red from embarrassment, he just might realise he actually does have a painfully obvious size kink. but he won’t ever admit that to you. as if he’d give you the satisfaction.

Michael Kaiser in 10 bullet points:

He craves love, but also wants people to hate him.

He presents himself as talented and confident, looking down on others, yet deep down has low self-esteem and refers to himself as a "piece of trash".

He pretends to have luxurious tastes (clothes, food, manners, etc.) but his favorite meal is garlic bread crusts.

Despite studying psychology and philosophy extensively, he is unable to pursue therapy or truly understand himself.

In the same vein, he seeks recognition and his own identity through football, without truly knowing himself.

He despised how his father treated him, yet ends up treating others the same way.

He often degrades those who care the most for him, particularly Ness.

He desires luxury but has little interest in money.

Remember what he said to Lorenzo: "As always… You're a creepy gold-toothed loan shark who only sees poeple as money." Whereas Kaiser himself sees humans as tools/dogs.

He wants to be accepted and recognized, yet he despises most people and prefers being alone.

this man will be the death of me.

UGH MICHAEL KAISER THE MAN YOU ARE.

rin would drool when he sleeps and he would fall asleep laying on your chest and you would just have this huge patch of drool on your boob cause your bf is just a sleepy fucking baby ok you can’t even be mad cause he’s just so cute and baby looking when he’s tired and it’s funny when he stirs and then wakes up fully because he’s startled from his cheek being wet from laying in the puddle of his own drool and then he would glare at you as if it’s your fault even tho he’s the one that can’t keep his tongue in his mouth

queen can u make one with y/n and rin, and like basically u kiss him on the cheek with like lipstick before he goes to practice and he dosent notice and than at practice everyone makes comments like " wow rin looks like you had a fun night" and hes super confused until after he practice he goes to take a shower, and after the shower he comes bcak home and starts attcking you with kisses

here u go kween!!!

rin sat at the kitchen table, focused as he laced up his cleats. you stood nearby, watching him with a small smile and an idea brewing. as he reached for his bag, you leaned down and pressed a soft kiss to his cheek, your lipstick leaving a faint pink mark.

“don’t forget your water bottle,” you said sweetly, handing it over.

“thanks,” he murmured, not even glancing up, oblivious to your little prank. you stifled a laugh as he left for practice.

at the field, his teammates were relentless.

“have a fun night, rin?” isagi smirked.

bachira burst out laughing. “who knew you were such a romantic?”

“what are you talking about?” rin grumbled, completely baffled.

nagi yawned, leaning lazily against the goalpost. “you’re practically glowing, man. lipstick suits you.”

rin frowned, his hand brushing against his cheek. confusion deepening when he saw nothing on his fingers. he dismissed it, thinking they were joking. until later, in the locker room, he spotted the faint lipstick mark on his cheek. his jaw tightened as the memory clicked.

after a quick shower, rin grabbed his things and headed home, determination replacing his earlier embarrassment.

the moment he walked through the door, you could tell he knew. his usual calm demeanor was replaced by a predatory glint in his eye. you didn’t even have time to greet him before he dropped his bag and closed the distance between you.

"rin—what—” you started, but your words were cut off as he cupped your face and kissed you. then another kiss. and another. his lips peppered your cheeks, your forehead, and your lips, his rare laughter vibrating against your skin.

“you think you’re so funny, huh?” he murmured between kisses, his tone soft yet teasing.

you giggled, your arms wrapping around his neck. “it was just a little love note.”

“well, here’s mine,” he replied, his lips brushing against your jawline. “next time, let me know if i’m gonna be walking around as your canvas.”

“maybe... maybe not.” you teased, your grin widening.

he smirked, his forehead resting against yours. “we’ll see about that.”

“i’ll take my chances,” you giggle, already planning your next move.

His imagination:
