Blue Lock Spoilers!!

blue lock spoilers!!

specifically for ep nagi! ^^

i dunno if anyone has said this yet (i havent really checked), but I genuinely think something will happen to chigiri's knee again

like in chapter 27 of episode nagi, it makes a weird little cracking noise for a brief second, and chigiri looks a little thrown off by it, but ultimately decides it's fine

right after, nagi is reasonably concerned, but chigiri brushes it off, responding with this:

not to mention nagi's:

"you'll break" ????? that HAS to mean something.

like I feel like it's important to remember that episode nagi is fully canon to the original blue lock manga, so adding small details like this DOES impact the main story too. I'm aware that he plays with no problem during the u20 and previous nel matches, but manshine still has one left to go.

from what chigiri said, I think what may happen during that match is that nagi (and reo I guess) will make their epic comeback, like they're been planning, but during the match, something will happen to chigirI.

he says his leg OR nagi's dream, which leads me to believe we're either getting one OR the other in the manga, we can't have both.

and with most pieces of media, when something like this is introduced so early on as a previous problem that had a quick resolution, it's almost SURE to be brought back up again. call it chekhovs gun or whatever, but I think this is either gonna be insane foreshadowing or the biggest red herring ever 😭🙏

(anyways, it's either gonna be him or Yukimiya. they both clearly have something with the potential to completely ruin their soccer career and disable them for life, and if Kaneshiro doesn't do anything with that then what's the point)
