Rereading episode Nagi and…
Reo always looks extra cute in Nagi’s pov. Like this is why Nagi went full ‘till death do us part’ on him the first week of knowing one another.

I literally just talked about how Nagi chose his food based on how easy it is to chew yesterday and today in the new art my dude inhaled the cookies Reo made like he was on sesame street?!
He ate it straight from the oven too. Those cookies aren’t making it to the cooling rack and we know it.
Bro’s tongue sustained a second degree burn and he still kept going. Is he afraid someone is going to snatch Reo cookies or something?

Thoughts on Nagi (not) having friends
[with additional thoughts on Barou and Rin also not having friends]
I saw many posts expressing disappointment in the author's comment that Nagi isn't close with anyone outside of Team V trio.
I get it, considering some of his lighter, most wholesome and hilarious moments in the manga are with Barou and Chigiri, Isagi and also Bachira.
I love that people want Nagi to have friends and a strong support system since he didn't grow up with one. 🤍
However, as someone who feels very similar in personality to Nagi, I feel like I can immediately understand why he wouldn't feel "close" to people easily.
People who prefer their own company for the most part and don't get lonely that easily are used to keeping a distance from others. For Nagi, even meeting Reo was something serendipitous and becoming friends with him was definitely not achieved through his own efforts. Reo had to stalk him, kidnap him in a car, chase him around school, carry him on his back and get down on his knees with candy (lmao) in order to win his trust and his time.
I think that while other more naturally social characters would be able to form connections even in an environment like Blue Lock, characters like Nagi, Rin and Barou, owing to their personalities would find it hard to feel close to most people. Getting close to someone is extra effort on top of enjoying someone's company or liking them as a person. So it would not happen unless the other person continues to insert themselves into their lives by force until their presence becomes part of the new status quo.
I don't think this in any way means they aren't fond of any other people who are nice to them (I support all their condescending hater moments too! 😤)
Okay maybe a huge stretch to say Rin is fond of people 🙈 but Barou has gradually revealed a softer side albeit begrudgingly and Nagi too actively socialises when he does have the energy (usually when excited during matches or when something or someone piques his curiosity, or when trying to annoy Barou lmao). Nagi also readily expresses strong admiration for other Blue Lockers on many occasions throughout the main manga and his own.
So I believe there are many people he really likes and has fun with and learns a lot from (as much as you can like people while playing death-game style football that is) but "close" is something that would take time as this is a guy with a very low social battery who isn't really in the habit of sharing his thoughts (not for seventeen years at least). Even with Reo, who we can very safely say he is close to, he has been learning how to do that through trial and error which often leads to ugly misunderstandings. But maybe he will be able to do it more easily and with more people in the future.
And if not, there's always Choki.🌵🤍

Main takeaway from this chapter of EpiNagi? Nagi sees Chigiri as a tiny hype gremlin.
I love seeing him so goofy ❤️ So different to how Isagi sees Chigiri (cool, collected). EpiNagi portrays Nagi's friendships and rivalries as distinct to Isagi's. Like, the guy below shares few traits with Nagi's visualisation of Chigiri (although he's fiery in both manga).

Chapter 21 of Episode Nagi kinda made this scene in chapter 245 funnier
So that Rawr didn’t come out of nowhere
Their dynamic this chapter was hilarious … to be honest everyone’s dynamic with Barou is funny

To understand the significant of Nagi wearing Reo’s gloves. You would have to understand that this is the dude who would cut every corner to ensure he use as little energy as possible in everyday tasks.
Bro chose food base on how many times he needed to chew. His diet before Reo consisted of liquid and soft breads.
He researched the easiest way to take a bath.
For this boy, gloves are 2 extra pieces of clothing.
TWO!
That’s like wearing a complicated suit in Nagi’s logic.
