Talking to my dad who only watch the Blue Lock Anime (no manga, no Episode Nagi) has me realizing something.

There are people in this world whose information about Reo and Nagi stopped at season 1 of the anime.

They didn’t know the back story, they didn’t see Reo or Nagi’s inside voice. And they didn’t know about MC make up scene

They didn’t know about the proposal in Harajuku

They didn’t know about the ‘Don’t die before me’ and the ‘Let’s not do the same things our parents did.’

In their Timeline, Reo still got dumped by Nagi who looked like he didn’t care.

Finally got the chapter!!!!!!!

I did not expect to love Barou and Chigiri as a duo as much as I do but like, holy shit they’re incredible

Chigiri is such a little shit here and I love that for him

It’s the little brother energy, I swear

This shot is so cool!!!!!!!

I love that we get to see their auras projected at the same time, since both of them are big cats

It’s just such a cool image

Finally, NAGI OMG

YES BELIEVE IN YOURSELF

I’m so proud of him, I knew he could do it

Plus, I absolutely ADORE that his aura is skulls!!!!!

I think about Greek mythology with it, and relate it to Thanatos, the god of death, son of the goddess of night and twin brother of the god of sleep

This chapter was so hype and I just needed to rave about it

Jeez, that confirms my headcanon that Reo takes it so hard because he thinks Nagi sees his skills as mediocre now that they lost for the first time, but fuck if it doesn't hurt to see Reo needlessly doubt himself like this

Not only Nagi is certain he'll meet Reo on the other side, but he also implicitly assumes Reo will be just fine without him, unlike himself who needs to improve until he's no longer "useless without Reo". Like, Nagi splits up not because Reo's performance failed him in any way, but in an effort to improve his own. Yet all Reo sees is a genius who finally sparked self-awareness and realized he doesn't need to be held back by someone... "average" like Reo and can in fact move on alone, indifferent to what will happen to Reo in the meantime

Meanwhile Nagi never considered for a second that Reo wouldn't make it. In fact, every time Nagi gained more awareness of himself and of the sport, his first thought was always to tell Reo about it with almost childlike wonder. His "hey Reo"s all sound like a kid learning how the world works for the first time, and recounting his discoveries to someone who already knows, much like a kindergardener telling their parent about their day. From Nagi's perspective, he's playing catch up, cause Reo's experience with football and his game sense are more developed than his, and that's why Reo's always singled out as the listener of Nagi's discoveries. But from Reo's pov, Nagi is a genius "chosen by football", to put it in his father's words, while Reo is talented but at the end of the day just a regular hard worker. So Reo thinks he needs to catch up to Nagi's genius.

It's crazy how much they idolize each other without even knowing it

NOOOOO

I need someone to tell him how beautiful he is, how special he is, how strong he is, how loved he is, and how much of a bbg he is. I love him. Nagi, how could you fumble this badly?

Also, loved the Kunigiri crumbs this chapter, I’m taking them as they trickle in.

Edit: HAPPY BIRTHDAY my beautiful boy (why in the world would the author make this chapter come out so close to Reo’s birthday? Makes me feel like Kaneshiro just absolutely despises Reo)

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).

Parents telling a child not to die before them is just them telling their child it’s hard for an older person to sent off someone decades younger than them. It’s how my parents sometimes told me when they wanted me to stay out of trouble.

A 17 year-old boy telling another healthy 17 year-old boy not to die before him is a declaration of love.

It’s beyond proposal.

It’s what you say to your significant other after you decided to spent the rest of your life together.

And when that 17 year-old was Nagi, who couldn’t even feed himself properly at that point. The implication was even deeper.

Nagi, who thought living was a hassle. Would rather a stay alive long enough to see the last light left Reo’s eyes. To make sure he was still on this earth to send off Reo before he could go.

I used to say Reo was the reason Nagi stayed alive this long.

I didn’t know that Reo was the reason for Nagi to live.

Excuse me while I cry myself to sleep.

Look at these rebels

Underaged drinking smh

(Emmie is a hypocrite of the highest degree here)

Don’t drink underaged-

In all serious, I really loved this mini update, it made me smile so much

And the difference in their parents is interesting given their personalities really reflect it

Reo is a bit of a control freak, he has plans and he expects everyone to follow through with those

It’s not just because he was spoiled as all hell growing up, he was raised to be that way and no matter how hard he tries, he’s still becoming his parents

And Nagi is very much like a fly on the wall with most things

His parents raised him very casually, and he doesn’t put much effort into his relationships, letting others do the heavy lifting

It’s why he and Reo worked so well together before Nagi’s growth in bllk

They just gotta learn how to navigate this new dynamic now

THIS PART HERE

This made me like, screamin okay, SCREAMIN

Esztell can testify, I was bugging her like all afternoon about this update

He’s really saying “you’re stuck with me, I care too much about you to live without you”

And it’s such an impactful statement, he just wants Reo

EVERYONE LOOK AT THE TINY REO

Also, this chapter gave us a really good look at these two before bllk

I love that we can see their differences, similarities, and how they complement each other

Reo is outgoing as all hell and he’s pretty blunt and a bit rude, but Nagi just seems mildly annoyed if anything

And he’s not faultless either, he’s judging Reo’s home just as much

Final thought is Nagi’s reaction to champagne made me giggle

I wanna know what kind they’re drinking, I wanna give it a try

Well, that’s all for now, as I gotta go work

Might come ramble about them later but who knows if I’ll actually post it or not, I’m insecure about my ramblings because I don’t often try to make them make sense

They come right from my head

#bllk #blue lock #bllk manga spoilers #episode nagi spoilers #episode nagi #emmie rambles #nagi seishiro #reo mikage #seishiro nagi #mikage reo #this chapter made me so happy y’all don’t even know #they’re such fools #and I love them for it #I wouldn’t have it any other way

Another reason why Episode Nagi is a shoujo manga

One thing from Episode Nagi chapter 21 hit me hard. I mean the moment when Nagi was thinking about how Reo believed in him.

No one had ever placed hope in Nagi before. He himself has also never shown any initiative before. Nagi didn't seem like a person who would do something or be motivated to act because he believed in himself.

It wasn't until he realized that someone believed in him. Thanks to this faith, he began to act. And when there was no one around who believed in him, he was left with faith in himself.

However, Nagi would never believe in himself unless someone (Reo) believed in him first. Without it, he would still remain passive and do nothing with his life.

When I noticed this dependence, I immediately thought that a similar philosophy was presented in Fruits Basket (shoujo manga).

I'm specifically talking about story of Kisa, who had problems getting along with her classmates. She received a letter from a teacher who briefly advised her to like herself first so that others would like her.

However, Yuki did not agree with this.

When someone likes you, you will like yourself.

When someone believes in you, you will believe in yourself.

In both cases, the entire change depends on the other person. The character won't do much on their own because they need some motivator to influence them.

In Fruits Basket, this should not be surprising, because it is a shoujo manga that will focus on interpersonal relationships.

However, for example, in the main series of Blue Lock, where Isagi is the protagonist, the main character does not really need anyone's help for his development, because he is his own cause. Isagi does everything himself. Yes, he uses the help of others, but it is not perceived that way. He didn't need anyone else to believe in him to believe in himself. (Yes, this could be an example of his initial relationship with Bachira, when Meguru immediately began to have great hopes in Isagi. However, I don't see it as "Oh, Bachira believed in me, now I believe in myself! I wouldn't have gone this far, if it weren't for him.", because Isagi very quickly began to notice his own possibilities, which he was entitled to himself).

But Nagi is not like Isagi. He couldn't do anything on his own. He needed someone who would believe in him. If it weren't for Reo, his life would have come to a standstill. He would have no reason to believe in himself or work on himself.

Nagi is more like a shoujo protagonist who needs the presence of another person to initiate his development. He doesn't necessarily need this person all the time in order to continue to develop, but he certainly wouldn't be able to make any changes in his life without their constant presence in his mind.

And Episode Nagi (compared to Blue Lock) does not focus just on the independent development of the main character, but also devotes a lot of attention to his relationship with another person.

I'm not saying it doesn't exist in Blue Lock. It's just more emphasized in Episode Nagi, in a shoujo manga style.

On "dream doping", or the lesson to be learned from despair

Alteratively titled: why breaking up with your high school sweetheart is vital for a career in soccer (with or without said sweetheart. Signed: Ego Jinpachi)

buckle up, this is a long one

We know that Reo went into this match with several hungups as to why Nagi would leave him behind, even going as far as asking Chigiri and Kunigami why they'd pick him

And his voice shaking (notice the wobbly speech bubble) as he repeats the validation, like he doesn't quite believe it to be true anymore. And then during the match he kept alternating between talking himself up and trash talking Isagi with increasingly frantic urgency. He needed to test his worth against Isagi and come out victorious to prove that he was worthy of being the genius' partner, yes, but one important factor is that he did all of this specifically seeking Nagi's approval. He needed to hear it from him, because it's Nagi's departure that crushes Reo's confidence in the first place. Before that moment, Reo was self-assured and cocky, even looking down on other players he felt were beneath him. But we could argue that confidence was born from a shaky foundation—the idea of staying a team with Nagi until the world cup and their eventual victory together for Japan.

I think a factor that doesn't often get brought up in Reo commentaries is that Reo derives a lot of his winning self-image from tag-teaming with a genius

And it's from "borrowing" his talent that Reo feels he lifts their collective value to genius level

And in the process, Reo also tends to undersell his own skills by comparison, and letting them stay an accessory to Nagi's brilliance,

despite how it's been remarked that Reo's a bit of a genius in his own light. If he honed that potential, he could be a big threat, too. Alone.

This is by design, of course. He foils pre blue lock Rin for this reason, too. Reo and young Rin are similar in that they both consider their soccer partner the true star of the show, subordinating their own skills as just a fancy accessory to make their partners shine and become world's best with them right at their heels.

The unfortunate consequence of this is that they end up internalizing that their dream is not achievable without their partner(s), because they ingrained being a sidekick so deep into that plan that they simply see themselves unwilling or unable to chase it on their own.

Hence why, for the continuation of their dream, it becomes vital to have their partner's approval. They just don't see the point in going on alone. Losing the partnership means losing the reason to play altogether.

Now, of course this mindset is incompatible with blue lock. Nothing really new there. Reo was always framed as the delusional oddball for signing up for the program with the intended goal of using it to make Nagi the best, rather than himself. In other words, for trying to bend the system into accommodating his dream rather than accepting Ego's philosphy and playing by Ego's rules. And of course, that plan was bound to be put to the test when Reo&Nagi got the first taste of "despair".

The series posits that despair is the feeling you get when your dream doesn't measure up to reality and threatens to crash and burn. Ego posits that there's only one way out of it that doesn't involve self-destruction. And that's avoiding the trap of the so-called "dream doping".

But what does "engraving despair" even mean in simple terms? I think Ego's point is that after experiencing a crushing, frustrating defeat, some players (the normies, or those who don't go very far) simply think "next time we'll win" without putting any active energy into changing their playstyle and rebuilding it anew to face the growing challenges and "devour" them along the way.

Think of Barou, and how he managed to come back after Isagi and Nagi made him effectively useless in the field. What Barou did was evolving into someone even more chaotic and unpredictable, and devouring them right back. Barou himself cites the despair he felt during that match as the catalyst of his growth and winning goal. In other words, instead of dream doping, Barou adapted and survived in a battlefield that would've otherwise left him in the dust.

But not every player has the presence of mind to pick themselves back up as the match is still unfolding, and when the defeats rolls around, they fold under the weight of that despair. We see this in action. When Sae evolves so rapidly in Spain and eats Rin for breakfast during their 1v1, Rin's reaction to despair is dream doping (at least at first). So is Reo's when he loses to team white. Faced with opponents that had an explosive soccer growth, they struggle to keep pace, and then refuse to face reality and admit they also need to change their playstyle to keep staying in the game.

In Reo's case, he even goes as far as saying he doesn't have "the courage to let himself be destroyed and reborn." And that defeatist attitude is what leads team white to choose Chigiri instead. A real egoist doesn't think "I cannot do it" but instead keeps fighting tooth and nail until the end.

But Reo isn't there yet. If you analyse his body language at the end of the match, it's clear he expects a rejection before it even comes. Notice his posture

Having just had a taste of the limits of his skills against strong opponents, his reaction is resigned. His stance is defensive and closed off. His arms and legs are crossed, he's the only one on the ground, his head is hung in defeat and avoiding Nagi's eyes. Even the camera angle looks at him from above, like he's already doomed himself by deciding to stay on the ground, not picking himself up. Remember, it's Kunigami who lifts him from his collar. Reo doesn't have that strength alone.

This transition here also shows it well imo. True to fashion, he only shows a reaction when Nagi's directly addressing him. A part of him is still wishing for things between them to mend, to go back to how they were. There's hope written all over his face in that second panel, but the moment he hears what Nagi has to say, it abruptly morphs into pain.

Nagi echoes the words Reo wanted to tell him when they split, but to Reo it doesn't come across as the approval he was seeking. Rather, as the opposite: while Reo couldn't bring himself to encourage Nagi to go ahead in fear that Nagi wouldn't look back (that is, in fear Nagi wasn't as attached to him and their dream as Reo was)... Nagi says them easily enough. And to Reo, that's more crushing than the loss itself because he misconstructs it as indifference towards their promise.

It all circles back to Reo's insecurity. While Nagi just showed him he's able to change even without Reo as his partner, Reo is insecure about being able to do the same because he sees them as his biggest weapon, not anything inherent to Reo alone. Thus, once Nagi mines the foundation of Reo's confidence (their team up), any step Nagi takes in an effort to get them closer to the world cup in Reo's eyes is just another step away from it (and from him). Reo always assumed they'd crossed that finish line together, that he'd build Nagi up into the world's best striker. He wasn't prepared for a path where Nagi teams up with other people, leaving Reo powerless in the sidelines—their combo (and thus himself) a weapon that outlived its usefulness.

Much like Rin declaring that he'd lose his reason to play soccer if he can't chase his dream with Sae the way they had agreed to, Reo metaphorically sees his future as the "abnormal monster duo" crumbling away (notice the decaying effect on the square with his internal narration). Instead of taking steps towards ensuring their dream still has a chance of happening in the future, he sees it as already doomed.

The thing is, Reo isn't ready to give up on it, though. He doesn't want to. I could be wrong about this but him seeking out a clean cut from Nagi came across to me less as if he was blaming Nagi for leaving, and more like he seeked a fight as self-punishment for his thoughts during the match. In the previous chapter, he tried stifling Nagi's potential and then resented himself for it. Now, his internal narration is almost goading Nagi's anger. I think it's still up in the air whether he was lashing out because he was overwhelmed by his conflicting feelings or if he was seeking out Nagi's rejection because he hated himself for not measuring up to his own standards during the match. Maybe a bit of both.

Point is, Reo is refusing to face reality. By saying "then pick me", to cite Ego, he's denying that he was powerless in the match, and putting the entire brunt of his loss onto Nagi's shoulders for not choosing him. Simply put, he's relying on Nagi to open up the door to go further in blue lock instead of growing into the player that gets to choose who to pick.

And Nagi recognizes this and feels hurt by it, cause if Reo refuses to evolve, switch up tactics and try new things, he's also implicitly refusing to go further in the program. From Nagi's perspective, it's Reo that's breaking their promise by being unwilling to put in the effort to keep staying in the game. Remember, the consequence for failing blue lock is no longer being allowed to play professionally for Japan. If Reo quit putting up a fight, his dream would be over for good.

And the story tells us, the measure of a great striker is how they react to the challenges thrown in their path. Nagi's growth happens specifically because he doesn't tie his success to Reo, but knows when to throw in other variables and when cooperating with Reo makes them stronger. In Nagi's eyes, their dream is not reliant on their combo, but their combo is a weapon that makes their dream achievable. Whereas Reo based his plan to get the world cup around his partnership with Nagi, and let his own skills lay dormant and underdeveloped cause he always defaulted to passing to Nagi to score.

But when Nagi leaves the equation for good, Reo's forced to address where his own strengths really lie and how to weaponize them to avoid elimination. That's why the chameleon awakens for the first time. It gets roused by Reo's despair, which gets "engraved" only when it dawns on Reo that their combo is not an option anymore, and it's on Reo and Reo alone to fight his way back up, evolving and devouring rivals along the way. And much like Nagi's talent for trapping, Reo's stregth was also inherent, and never just reliant on them being a team.
