When the joke character earned EVERYONE's respect (Igaguri - Blue Lock)

He Was the Most Hated Character in Blue Lock – Until This Chapter Changed Everything

Gurimu Igarashi A.K.A. "Igaguri". A name that, for 240 chapters, was synonymous with failure, comic relief, and mediocrity. Ranked dead last out of 300 strikers, mocked by fans, and written off as Blue Lock's worst—he was a character seemingly destined for the sidelines.

But what if I told you he’s one of the most relatable, human, and ultimately inspiring characters in the entire series?

In this video, I break down how Chapter 241 completely reframed Igaguri—not just as a joke, but as the soul of Blue Lock. We’ll explore how his “Mallica technique,” his desperate drive to escape his past, and his symbolic clash with Nagi Seishiro reveal some of the most powerful themes in the series: ambition, shame, self-worth, and the true price of chasing a dream.

Igaguri may never become the best striker in the world—but he shows us what it means to fight like someone who needs to win. And in a story about obsession and ego, that might just make him the most real character of all.
