“The word foreshadowing has lost all meaning”: Blue Lock Fans Need to Chill, Muneyuki Kaneshiro Did Anything but Foreshadow One Legendary Scene in Season 1

Muneyuki Kaneshiro’s Blue Lock took over the sports genre after the series released its final episodes, which finally featured the outcome of the epic match played between team Blue Lock and U-20 Japan. Almost every viewer of the series was taken aback by how Rin Itoshi has finally awakened his flow and wreaked havoc on the field, making the opponent’s defenders shiver in fear.

Surprisingly, that was not the most exhilarating part of the series finale because Isagi Yoichi’s last-minute winner has taken over the internet. This has made the fan community go nuts, as they hail Kaneshiro-Sensei as the greatest storyteller of this generation. The fans claim that a scene from Season 1 of the show foreshadowed the final moments of Season 2.

Blue Lock’s Season 2 finale makes fans claim something unusual

Blue Lock’s season finale has sent shockwaves across the internet, where it finally featured the final fifteen minutes of the match that decided the faith of Jinpachi Ego’s unorthodox idea of a striker. Episodes 13 and 14 were highly anticipated, where both teams were locked in a draw, with the scores being 3-3, and Rin going in complete dismay at being a team player.

However, much time was not given to process because of the events that took place on the field, where U-20 Japan parked the bus, as their opponents had far too many options in attacking. This led to an epic clash between the Itoshi brothers, where in the dying minutes of the game, the ball went up in the air, landing perfectly in front of Isagi Yoichi.

Being completely in the flow, he did not think twice as he hit the ball with all his might to the top right corner of the goal, sealing the victory for his team. The moment was made even more beautiful with the perfect blend of background score, animation, and the emotions that followed it.

While the series perfectly showcased the passion of the beautiful game, the fans went on to claim something bizarre on the internet. This bizarre phenomenon has connected the community to the fandom that closely follows Eiichiro Oda’s One Piece, in which he meticulously foreshadows major events that will occur later in the series.

Likewise, a Blue Lock fan has taken to Reddit, sharing a post where they connect the dots between an event from Season 1 Episode 18. The user stated that Muneyuki Kaneshiro’s foreshadowing is at “another level,” as Isagi wore a blue-colored kit, the same number on his back, the goalkeeper wearing a red kit, and similar events taking place in both scenes.

Though it was sheer joy that followed the user, claiming the moment from the first season to be a prelude to Season 2’s ending was a bit of an overkill.

These 12 weeks have been a rollercoaster of emotions for them and everyone watching the anime, which had given an underwhelming first impression. The animators managed to gain back the trust of the fanbase as they flaunted the same quality that was featured in the first season of the show.

However, anime fans found it childlike to come forward on social media and claim an event as a foreshadowing of the full-time scenes from the high-stakes match between Team Blue Lock and U-20 Japan.

The Otaku community did not take this on a positive note and trolled the fan. The community commented,

While the fan wrote more than what was called for, the sports anime fans are thrilled for the third season of the series, as the anime teased a new obstacle that awaits the greatest egoists of Japan’s football.

Blue Lock can be streamed on Hulu.
