Here’s who takes the throne for the Ultimate Edgelord of Blue Lock Manga

Rin Itoshi Blue Lock

The forever mood of Blue Lock Manga is edgy, from the characters to their motivations, everything is unnecessarily dark, emo, aggressive, and undoubtedly entertaining. A list of edgy Blue Lock characters will be tediously long. At the same time, determining who will stand at the top of the list as the ultimate edgelord is quite intriguing. 

Starting with Isagi’s rivals makes sense as they get the most amount of screen time after the puzzle master. His rivals include: 

  • Rin Itoshi
  • Shoei Barou
  • Seishiro Nagi
  • Meguru Bachira
  • Rensuke Kunigami
  • Michael Kaiser

From these characters, the top 3 spots can easily be secured by Rin, Kaiser, and Kunigami. This article will break down their edginess and present the throne of the ultimate edgelord to the winner.

For Rin, football is no longer about the sport, it has become a death match. Every time he enters or exits the ground, he swears to kill Isagi the next time he faces him. He also uses newborn babies and death in the same sentence so we know that his edginess knows no bounds. 

As extreme as he is, Rin still has a reason behind his actions. The reason is his brother. He wants to defeat his brother in an attempt to make him realize his initial ambitions. Isagi is an obstacle in the path to his goal. That’s why he bears the brunt of the death threats and aggression.

Kunigami could have continued to be a breath of fresh air with the logic and ethics that he followed so meticulously at the beginning. The training he underwent to return as a wildcard changed him forever. He returned as the emperor of the dark realm, seeming like a mad bull who kept seeing red everywhere. 

He has kicked his morals somewhere far away and doesn’t shy away from playing dirty. We hardly know anything about the training he went through. It’s fair to assume that it was bad enough to turn him into the man or bull he is at present.

Kaiser seemed like a normal snobby anime character when he first entered the story. His encounters with Isagi have been so shocking up till now. He’s always trying to create problems for everyone around him. The sight of him clenching his fists and grinding his teeth relay major serial killer energy. 

To make everything more bizarre we have no idea where it all stems from. Whatever little part of his past we have seen, he has been like this since he joined Bastard Munchen. This makes him unreasonably edgy.

An analysis of their behavior and its roots gives us the answer that Kaiser is the ultimate edgelord of Blue Lock manga. Rin’s behavior is very extreme, and Kunigami acts rashly all the time, but we know where it all stems from. Kaiser just decided to mark Isagi as his rival one day and is hell-bent on ruining his entire life. So he easily gets the throne for the ultimate edgelord of Blue Lock manga. 

This is similar to how the Spiel Anime Newsletter should be throned as the best bi-weekly read for cultured anime fans. The newsletter brings to you all things anime including recommendations, news, and exploration of a wide range of topics relevant to the world of anime and all of this comes with visually exciting designs. How cool is that!

Conclusion 

The progression of these characters from normalcy to extremities is a great reminder of the present state of Blue Lock manga. It would not be too far-fetched to expect a character or two to die by the time the manga ends. Maybe it’s time you start praying for the well-being of your favorite character.
