block has some of the most ridiculous characters in sports manga history with powers that are just absurd but did you know a lot of them are based on real life footballers and their weapons are real so why not start with the best player in the blue lock world who managed to surpass both Messi and Ronaldo for the balandor his name is Noel Noah this man is known as the perfect Striker but there's a very clear comparison to former Bayern Munich Striker Robert L owski and Noah now plays for the same Club dominating everyone much like
lowski did in the 2020 season Robert dominates with his efficiency and well-rounded play which is very much what Noah encourages remember that he stated that he will pair himself with those who are most logical and his advice to isagi is the same this is clearly inspired from lowski he will score in any way possible whether that's in a very boring manner or any spectacular Mana he'll make it happen as long as he scores now just look at his generational run from 2015 to 2022 in Bayern Munich how the manga says bastard munin there are some
Seasons where he scored more Golds than appearances Robert leowski was even nominated for balandor in 2020 and 2021 and some called it a robbery that he didn't win but it's not only that leowski has the same body type as Noel Noah with Incredible technical skill that lets him control the game alongside his absurd shooting ability the only difference between the two is that Noah is ambidextrous which is what made him the very best since it doesn't matter what foot he shoots from he will score with zero effort however this blessed trait comes from another inspiration
for the writer of blue lock and that is Zinedine zadan the goat the one that I love he was known for being admin extras and Noah has the same backstory where they grew up in the slums of France but made it out to become stars but what about his rival okay not really his rival since Noah won in a landslide in the rankings however Chris Prince is still one of the best in the world being known as the number two Striker his stats are maxed out at 100 in everything and there's one panel that shows
who he's based on it's this one where Chris Prince doesn't add for a ab exercise machine which Michael unfortunately also did Cristiano Ronaldo on top of this he even promoted water like when Ronaldo said not to drink Coca-Cola but moving away from that Chris Prince strives to have the perfect body much like Ronaldo being incredibly muscular contrary to other footballers he even speaks like him stating what kind of muscles can bring out your talents and help create the plays you want and then he proceeds to rip his shirt off showing his glorious sexy ass buny
just like our goat okay maybe I'm glazing Ronaldo a bit too much but oh come on editor bro start with me right now don't start the debate they're going to fight in the comments now aren't they yep just like Chris prince it's a shame Ronaldo's Elite body didn't help him win the World Cup but another thing Chris States word for word b for ball just like Ronaldo is that he can't forgive himself when he doesn't match up to his own ideals those that know Cristiano would know he takes an immense amount of pressure on his
shoulders to perform for himself his teams and fans even recently on his YouTube channel he said this to Rio Ferdinand because I make pressure to myself I always make pressure to me Cristiano you are the best player in the world Chris's ego and Ronaldo really match up as they both love the attention they also receive but on on top of that Ronaldo is known for his absurd jumping ability reaching an incredible height of 2.93 M against Man United and his back alone was 1.41 M off the ground against Juventus for possibly his greatest goal ever
Chris Prince achieved the same feat as he's shown to have incredible jumping power and scores in creative ways just like Ronaldo but there's one more thing remember Ronaldo's signature a kick his knuckle ball and his free kick when he was at man united for example and he had even Alex Ferguson going nuts about it Chris Prince over here also mastered a form of the knuckle bll which was stopped by him Sagi making Chris rage out completely just like a certain someone but speaking of our MC isagi has been confirmed to be inspired by filipo inagi
when you look at how inagi played this fits extremely well inagi was not technically or physically gifted in football in fact he was almost never a player people feared until he popped out of nowhere with Incredible positioning to take his opponents off guard it sounds similar just like isagi look at all of the training outside the actual games in the manga isagi is always gassed out and falling behind in every Arc during training sessions but then he shines like a Ki in game scenarios thanks to his vision obvious obvously isagi doesn't look like an amateur
anymore when dribbling but this certainly rang true early in blue loot Johan c one of the best players of alltime state that in zagi couldn't play football but somehow always found himself in the right positions but the interesting thing is he also claimed you play football with your head and your legs are there to help you which the author of blue lock clearly used to create is sagi's character with the whole notion of him completing a puzzle to unlock new weapons and strategies to score goals against his opponents however just like inagi who got made
fun of by many other players like Maldini in blue lock kaisa stated the same thing to isagi that he is an untalented clown which is ironic because inagi stated that being able to juggle a ball 1,000 times is not a technique anyone can do that then you can work in a circus so the writer absolutely cooked now when we look at real life when inagi had the ball for more than a few seconds he looked like a complete amateur but still he scored the same as isi's direct shot I mean look at this goal in
comparison to each other in fact in zi's movements off the ball was Top Class he was described as a player who lived on the offside line according to Alex Ferguson but the comparisons between the two don't even stop there in zagi was even described as just lucky we all remember when is sagi's friend said the same thing about him in chapter 151 despite us knowing everything that it took for isagi to maneuver into that position so as you can see everything about in zagi really matches isagi he was often called Selfish and egotistical striving to
always score himself which is what blue lock is all about even the likes of Jose Mourinho said he'd rather face 11 Strikers than just one inagi since he always just managed to score somehow so inagi had no right to be as good as he was becoming the sixth highest goal scorer in Italian History and perhaps would have been higher if it was not for his injuries even with this he still won every title a footballer could ever won including the World Cup which is what Japan is aiming for in blue lot in zagi had no
talent but he had spatial awareness the only difference between the two is that isagi has had a playmaker role being compared to Luca modri because of his crucial role in the buildup play which definitely does not apply to inagi but this will make isagi capable of reaching Heights that he never did but just like Noah isagi has his own Rivals the first major one being itoshi Rin this guy is the complete opposite to isagi in every way as he was just born with insane Talent unlike our MC so who was compared to inagi in a
similar way and plays like Ren well that's Del Pio he is known to have an elegant play style from his dribbling which was Top Class his technical skill was next level but primarily he was known for his long range shooting ability just like Ren this unhinged bastard that sticks his tongue out is busted at long range scoring multiple insane goals from outside the box but also delpo had absurd vision of the game just like RN we saw how much it took for isagi to surpass him however he doesn't have to rely on his meta Vision
as much as isagi since he's technically gifted like remember RN's first time playing football ever he jumped into his brother's game and scored a scissor kick is sagi's whole thing is surpassing Geniuses since he doesn't see himself as one and nether did in zagi so the story really follows in blue lot then you have rin's whole thing of sticking his tongue out recently which matches delpiero's known celebration sealing the deal for his inspiration but what about his brother itoshi sa itoshi gave up on his dreams of becoming a striker instead choosing to be the greatest
midfielder in the world he has similarities to duona or ozul for the incred ible passing but he's more based on the Japanese Prodigy takusa Kubo who at one point was dubbed the Japanese Messi remember that itoshi Sai has been called the future of Japanese football Kubo is an attacking midfielder just like him being awarded the MVP award at Barcelona soccer camp at the age of 8 years old so just like Sai a true Prodigy of football he has incredible shooting ability especially from outside the box with insane technique and curve the manga showcased this ability
inside in the under 20 game the author of the manga was clearly inspired by Kubo because he was also a Real Madrid player during 2018 when itoshi sa's character was initially introduced he has absurd Vision finding passes that no one can see similar to liono Messi hence his nickname so yeah a prodigy who can measure up to the best Strikers despite being a midfielder making this an easy choice but whilst we're on the topic of pro players in blue lock let's talk about another one godspeed Julian Loki this is probably the easiest comparison in this
entire video he's legit a carbon copy of Killian mbapp back in 2018 when mbapp was at his pig in the world cup annihilating everyone including the likes of Argentina he was just a teenager despite this he was still arguably one of the best players in the world and carried France to the World Cup Julian Loki is only 17 years old but he's still one of the best players in the world primarily due to his weapon of speed just like mbappe who has had speeds of 22 to 24 mph which is just insane considering that the
world's fastest man Usain boat runs at 27.7 n mph and they just look alike so so this is a clear copypaste from the author both are French and the club where Loki plays is Paris xgen and it's an obvious reference to the French Club PSG where inba played and has become a legend but Loki was introduced alongside a few other Pros who are also inspired from real life players so let's just quickly go over those guys right now Adam Blake is the first a top class Striker that leads England and he's basically Harry Kane now
Kane doesn't doesn't have the same level of horniness as this guy where he straight up says he wants to smash Japanese women but everything else matches in the way he plays the game Adam Blake seems to use physical strength to hold off players just like Kane then either finishing with Incredible accuracy and power or finding a PA for his teammates again just like Kane so this is clear Dada Sila is the hardest player to relate to in real life but I've come to the conclusion of Diego Costa just like Silva he'd used his Incredible strength
to hold off Defenders to create space but because of his aggressive nature he often got yellow and red car Leonardo Luna I believe is based on the Spanish Legend Fernando Torres since their appearances and Club is the same and Pablo kavos is very similar to dybala and he's called Baby Face just like the Argentinian Striker but honestly Di Maria or agüero seems to fit I'd love to hear what you guys think in the the comment section below because there is one pro that everyone is certain about lavinho who is based on Neymar Junior and the
legend and one of my favorite players Ronaldinho they are both known for their dribbling ability and flare I mean their skillful move they both twist and turn to go on crazy ma runs leaving the opposition helpless leino is shown doing a rainbow flick much like Neymar and Ronaldinho throughout their careers Lino's dribbling is so good that it looks like he's dancing across the pitch I mean outside of just footballing ability he's very similar to them both this is a statement all too common in Brazilian style of play lavinho is from Brazil having a relaxed and
inspired personality from Ronaldinho and he often dances which Ronaldinho often did for celebration I mean he even wore the 87 Jersey just like ronaldino did for AC land and of course just like them he made his name in Barcelona becoming one of the best in the world so it sounds like he's just Ronaldinho but his hairstyle and many tattoos seem to match Neymar making this a very obvious comparison however this also directly links and matches with one of the most important blue lock players Baja who can make the comparison between him and Neymar and ronaldino
as well as it's clear Bacha will be taking over over in the future since he's training under Lino however another person who's being trained to become the next leader of his team is of course bar one of the most expensive players at Blue lock scoring hattricks for Ubers now many believed that b was based on Cristiano Ronaldo which is fair he shown a similar dribbling style even using the signature Ronaldo chop but the author clarified that he's based on on Mario Balotelli which when you think about their personalities yeah this tracks Balotelli was so arrogant
and had so much ego that it got in his way of him becoming great much like B when he was used by isagi no matter who you are you can't tell Balotelli what to do I mean remember Jose Mourinho one of the most experienced managers of all time what he said about Balotelli being one of the most problematic players he's ever managed in this it's hilarious you need to listen to the story I'm being serious so when I go to the dressing room at half time I I spend I would say 14 minutes of the
15 I was spending 14 minutes speaking only for Mario Mario I cannot change you I cannot make a change I don't have a striker on the bench don't touch anybody play only with the ball when we lose the ball no reaction if somebody provocate you no reaction if the referee makes a mistake no reaction Mario please minute 46 no way red card no way you can tell yeah that's identical to B man the dude literally said he's the darkness that would Devour the light claiming he's the honored one amongst Heaven and Earth on the pitch
Balotelli had a similar scenario going on where everyone hated his attitude and personality but when he scored he infamously addressed fans and the media hating on him stating why Always me they also share a similar play style how well they both have incredible penalties according to the author despite us not seeing B take them and they are both very creative in the ways they score but because of their poor decisions off the field they have lapses in judgment which actually brings up another point this used to be the case for ble but because of the
nature of blue lock he's allowed to shine and through trying to devour isagi he's able to ironically have incredible movement of the ball then at Ubers they all played for B where he was allowed to let his ego shine which never happened for Balotelli no one liked playing with him so batelli very much missed his potential and this will not happen with ble and he will show the true power and Heights that boty never could but let's go to the opposite side of the pitch from Striker to the Defender Oliver aiku his favorite player is
Liverpool Defender Virgil Van Dy so needless to say they share a lot of similarities the two of them are very fast and read the game incredibly well obviously IU more so since he has a metavision but vanj is no slouch which allows him an insane amount of confidence in defense they both have great aerial ability where IQ is 6'3 and Van djk is 6'4 van djk has cut off some of the best strikers in the world and many felt like he was an Unstoppable wall to get ped he claimed the only people he's ever struggled
with are Messi and jeru isagi reacted the exact same way when he played against IU knowing he was the best player on the pitch van djk was stated to be the best defender in the world on many occasions not just for his defensive capabilities but his leadership he leads Liverpool extremely effectively from the back just like Oliver IQ did in the under 21 game so yeah this again is a clear comparison another player in defense is chigi who is actually based of another Japanese pro many thought he was based of Gareth Bale because of his
top speed being so fast and being put in fullback position like Bale early in his career but he is in fact inspired by Rio Mii well this dude was known for his pace of of course but also his injury-ridden PSE as he suffered not one not two but three AO tears which are known to end a footballer's career and they will never ever be the same so this is just crazy to hear so obviously chigi is known for the fact that he's too fast but he felt Shackled for a long time he didn't even have
the confidence to run anymore until he met isagi Rio Mii has the same strengths as chigi having pace that breaks open defenses on the flank not just creating space for himself but for his team obviously he doesn't quite have the same shooting ability at chigi since he now has the golden Zone similar to delpiero but he genuinely had immense potential that was unfortunately shattered because of his injuries not letting him get to the levels he could at the guy was compared to both Messi and Ronaldinho so he was no joke and just like how ble
would show the levels that Balotelli could have achieved chigi will display that even the most injury-prone players can control the game thanks to their speed Rio also spent time at Premier League clubs just like chigi is doing now with Man City so this comparison is clear but another person that plays on the same team of man city with chig is possibly the most talented player in all of blue lot Nagi bro never even attempted to be a good player before isagi and was still one of the best in blue lot despite only playing football since
he was 17 the reason he's so busted is of course because of his trapping AKA his first touch now as soon as I saw this I immediately was reminded of Denis buram further being backed up when Nagi watches videos of the guy and is compared to him in the actual manga but what makes these two similar well most of nagi's goals you can compare to ber Camp bro first touch is what set him apart from even the best in Premier League back in 2003 remember that bur Camp was a striker alongside onri and was a
member of Arsenal's unbeaten season yet people still know him as a legend and a lot of that is due to his insane first touch he's even been known to juggle just like Nagi did with his super goal now unlike others who make their moves after receiving the ball Burham and nogi are already making their moves with their first touch there's not much else to say just watch them I don't even have to explain in the manga Nagi is further watching Burham and taking inspiration till this day since he went to England for this very reason
but there's another complete anomaly a monster that keeps up with the likes of Ren isagi and his brother's side ryus Shido whose favorite football player and and the one he plays most like is Ibrahimovic he's so inspirational that the author also made Snuffy to be like him the leader of B's team
