Blue Lock’s Second Part Never Delivering What It Promised

Warning: Spoilers for Blue Lock episode 19!The second cour of Blue Lock‘s debut season fails to address both the series’ unique conflict and the descent of its hero Yoichi Isagi Isagi into villainy, all of which the first batch of episodes promised. Early on, the soccer anime set up the inevitable tragedy that Isagi and his teammates would be destined to face off against each other due to the proprietary nature of their eponymous deathmatch, which proclaims that there can only be one victor in Blue Lock.
