he just have memories of a past life, but it's not like he actually experienced it. that's why he have a very detached relationship to his past life, as he don't really remember everything from it either. Btw small sociology class since I'm at it, if you put a 10 yr old around old people his whole life then by 12 he will act like them, same goes in this case. All his friends and people close to him are essentially teenagers, and even in his past life (which wasn't even expended on that much) he didn't fully reach adulthood. Hope this explains a bit

This is the last game, so it would be pretty hard to show either Rin or Shidou even if I wanted to. And they might be in the official top 6, but once we reach the NEL, they're no longer considered as that good, and some might not even be top 10.

Thanks a lot for the honest review.

You'll see in the future chapters (they're all comfy in my drafts) but this idea will be expanded a little more. Your guess is already pretty good. He'll start off by focusing on a very specialized style with the few strengths he currently have and adapt to the situation. Then in the future he'll ofc end up with multiple weapons, especially once he reach the NEL.

All good, your support already means a lot!

Yep, he unlocked it once he joined blue lock. After the "it" game from what I remember.

I don't see what you mean by mediocre. His level didn't change, he simply have to face stronger people, same will happen when introduced to the NEL. He dogwalk most people there and is currently in the top 5 of his block, so I don't see how that could possibly be seen as mediocre.

when did he get weaker?

Then I'd say Jude would be right behind him. His acceleration still isn't at Zantetsu's level, but you'll soon see that it doesn't matter much since compared to Zantetsu Jude have other strengths he can combine with his acceleration. (The match against Team V is gonna be a perfect way to showcase his current abilities)

Depends on which chigiri we're talking about, he improved massively when reaching the NEL. Tho his strong point isn't his acceleration anyway, it's his top speed. Against zantetsu he lost because zantetsu had a better acceleration.

He gained a special weapon spot, not a special weapon in itself. he gained the ability to obtain one more special weapon. everything will be more clear once the second selection begins

Once you get to the latest chapters you'll see that his playstyle and personality are nothing like isagi so no worries

The mission was only to score, not defeat him. (Itoshi at that point in time isn't as strong as in the manga, although he's still leagues above everyone else his age.)

It's coming soon

Thanks a lot for the support, you can be sure that more chapters will be releasing in the near future

Yeah, I'm planning on keeping a more organized schedule when it comes to writing and editing. That's what I used to do a few months back, and it worked quite well.

Thanks for the review!

most likely have to do with the release schedule unfortunately

Thankss a lot for those kind of comments, it means a lot to me. That's what motivates me to keep writing <3
