Blue Lock Volume 26 Omake
think it's cool that kiyora never narrates even in ch.264 blue lock tells the reader his state of mind for him. we never hear him think about what to do in his own words, we don’t hear him explain or justify his choice of kaiser over isagi, for all intents and purposes we the readers haven't truly met kiyora the individual. when kiyora passes to kaiser the focus on the pass is necessarily divorced from kiyora's own inner motives and reasoning aside from "i need to choose now" (because we simply don't know enough about him as a character) and the pass comes to represent something greater, kiyora comes to represent the narrative of blue lock itself and blue lock (manga)'s relationship to kaiser, kiyora comes to represent karmic reward and becomes the means by which blue lock executes its will. it's really neat, in the future i expect and hope for kiyora to be introduced as his own character but right now he isn't much of a character he's a vehicle for the broader narrative. one day i will meet kiyora for real but for now he's great for what he is
Drawn by Sannomiya-sensei in release of EpiNagi chapter 24:
"This episode features an intense match against the delinquent yankī! Please look forward to it!"
I was going through the end of second selection for another post, but look what I found:
It happened after Nagi's Team took entry and that's Zantetsu, Bachira, and guess who?
Yes! That's Kiyora!
So, I went back to the Anime and guess what I found?
YES:
OMG WHY NOBODY TOLD ME ABOUT THIS⁉️
I HAD TOTALLY FORGOTTEN THIS EVEN HAPPENED!
JUST LOOK AT THIS LIL GUY:
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA‼️
i love the football madmen if you haven't noticed

I was going to do Sae but somehow ended up doing Kiyora. Personally, I like these colors better than the anime's colors. They remind me of a peacock's colors, his eyes the vibrant blue and his hair the green/teal? some have.
Nomura-san confirmed that Kiyora's cover colours are his canon ones—his eye and hair colour were submitted to the anime production team before they'd decided on what it should be in the manga.
they removed his edgy colors, why????
Rayuga also shared a peek at the next volume cover. Kiyora's turn!
at last, the pxg match began! we immediately saw the two teams showing off and clashing against each other; in the end, isagi even managed to steal the ball from rin with a header!
so, here's this week's prediction poll:
as always, your reasons why are always welcome :)
sendo is on the cover of volume 27 & if kiyora is next, his color will probably be this shade of blue.
