Blue Locks Season 2 Episode 7 Review

Before moving on to the good stuff, let’s talk about the parts that weren’t so good. This episode mostly followed the manga closely, unlike the previous episode that had a lot of extra scenes. When we got to see the Japan U-20 defenders, things got a little wild. The animations were a mix of weird effects and shadows, making it look very chaotic. Each defender had different special effects, so it didn’t look seamless.

But then, Seishiro Nagi’s moment came. His goal scene was amazing! The animators did a great job with this part. They used great computer graphics to show off Nagi’s skills perfectly. He controlled the ball, did a great lift and then did a spin kick that looked amazing. This scene was far better than the rest of the episode and made fans hope for better animation in the future.

Fans were really surprised as they didn’t expect such good quality animation after seeing the previous scenes. Nagi’s goal scene was a huge win not only for the character but for the show as a whole. It got fans excited again and hoped that future episodes would look just as good or even better.

Final Thoughts on the Episode

Overall, the episode had its ups and downs. While the beginning was a bit disappointing, Nagi’s goal saved the day. Fans are now eager to see if the rest of the episodes will have better animation as well. Chances are that only the most important scenes will look great, but keep your fingers crossed for more surprises like Nagi’s goal.
