With Episode 14, Blue Lock Season 2 concludes and comes to an end, leaving the fans asking for more. The finale, ‘Last Attack‘, which, to be fair, is the perfect title considering it’s an all-out final attack from both teams. The episode picks up where the series has been taking us—character development, stellar soccer playing, and the emotional toll of all the characters being on this emotional rollercoaster—is the finale. This episode doesn’t just finish the season; it raises the bar for a new season.
The Blue Lock XI have their fierce clash against Japan’s U-20 team, and it’s a masterclass in tension, stakes, and payoff. This is peak cinema that we were promised from the start, but as they say, better late than never, right? Personal battles and team dynamics are seamlessly worn into a high-octane narrative.

Everyone Gave It Their All
It was obvious that the match between Blue Lock XI and U-20 would peak with Yoichi Isagi and Rin Itoshi’s presence on the field. Full circle into a legitimate strategist and leader, both Rin and Isagi have pulled off game-changing plays so far, but Isagi really pushed Rin to reach his limits. Rin’s internal conflict with his brother, Sae Itoshi, is somewhat resolved in one of the season’s most gripping moments, meanwhile. He steps out of his brother’s shadow and embraces being a player and a rival, which, well, he declares Isagi his biggest rival later on.
What sets this episode apart is how it manages to fill both individual and team-level arcs. The soccer sequences are intense, the moments of character growth are personal, but the entire thing makes the narrative as emotionally captivating as it is visceral. It makes sense that the ambulances tend to respond quickly to that area, given that Blue Lock’s core themes of ego, ambition, and going beyond your limits are up there in spades, and the story feels both finished and exciting and ends fittingly for each character’s arc.

The massive increase in animation quality is one of the most common things to talk about regarding the finale. Low-budget visuals really pulled down early episodes of the season, but Episode 14 redeems itself with amazing fast-paced sequences and studious attention to detail. This episode is a visual treat as the dynamic soccer moves and players’ expressions of determination add to a bunch of fluid, thronging action scenes.
The whole episode was a back-and-forth insane battle between the teams with superb animation, but the highlight of the episode was Rin’s flow state, where he devoured every defender by completely destroying their weapons. Him challenging them head-on was his response to surpassing his brother, and it worked out as he was able to beat him in the end, and that created one of the best goals in the entire series. With Isagi trusting Rin would win and already running for the perfect spot for his direct shot. We witnessed ‘absolute cinema’.

Fans have also noticed that the animation enhances the tension in the match. With a level of realism that brings every pass, goal attempt, and block to life, viewers are pulled into the game for every pass, goal attempt, and block. It’s obvious that the whole production team saved all of their ‘best’ for this climactic moment, giving us fans some seriously unforgettable imagery. Which also puts into question and kind of upsets the fans that this is what the studio was capable of. If they were given enough time, budget, and staff. We might have witnessed a new benchmark in the sports anime genre, but let’s hope the next season doesn’t repeat the same mistake and the show takes all the time it needs to give the series the love it deserves.

Despite the previous bad reviews, endless memes, and comments, the finale has received universal acclaim from fans who have watched the finale. Viewers from all across social media platforms are celebrating the payoff of the character arc and the dramatic final moments of the match. More importantly, fans have also noted improvements in animation and storytelling, citing one episode (Episode 14) as one of the best of the series so far, with some even saying it was better than season 1.
All we can think of now is, What’s next for Blue Lock? There’s no official announcement on a third season yet, but the teaser at the end was evident enough for the upcoming arc, for which fans are thrilled. Several are looking for the production team to stick to their level of quality and to take their time into production moving forward. The viewing of this finale has completely restored faith in the series and caused more and more excitement about what’s coming next.
