Is Blue Lock Really Predictable?

Is Blue Lock Really Predictable?

The manga isn't really suspenseful and everything is known from the beginning, is it?

Readers love to experience new stories precisely because we don't know what will happen next and we expect sudden plot twists. Of course, you always want to believe that your favorite protagonist will still emerge victorious, but you never know for sure. But sometimes the flow of the narrative or clichéd twists do not give the fan a chance to be in the dark and the solution to the riddle is known almost from the very beginning.

Many people note that this situation can very often be found in sports titles, where characters go towards their goal — most often this is victory in some kind of competition — and, of course, in the end they achieve it.

One such title is the manga Blue Lock, about a group of soccer players who compete in the so-called "Blue Lock" to become the best striker and get into the Japanese national team. The main character is Yoichi Isagi, who, like the other competitors, has extraordinary abilities that help him advance and win.

And here some fans have a question: is it worth worrying about the character if it is obvious that thanks to his abilities and the fact that he is the main character, he will still win?

However, another part of the readers does not agree with this statement. Yes, even if everyone knows that Isagi will win in the end, we still don't know how this will happen, or who or what he might have to sacrifice to achieve his goal. After all, sometimes the final destination is not as interesting as the story of the hero's development.

In addition, many fans believe that not everything is as predictable as it might seem at first glance. Readers follow not only the story of the main character, but also the secondary characters who can also fall in love and whose fate readers will also worry about.

And for the secondary characters, there is almost never any certainty about how their fate will turn out and what they will do (for example, who would have expected Rin's team to win during the second selection or that Yukimiya would score the final goal of the game).

Thus, many fans are still interested in reading the manga and watching the competitions, since there is always an element of intrigue that makes them feel interested and concerned for the heroes.
