Pulling my fav rarepair's agenda (Karasagi) because I'M SICK OF THEM
Karasu and Isagi have a lot of parallels idk if its intentional or even if its something that's going to be develop in some point on the future (that I hope with my heart but is prob no to happen since Karasu has lost a lot of the central focus on the story), but theyre both two sides of the same coin - which is sum the both of them aknowledge during PXG vs BM match -.
Both of them are talented learners that have to relay on their analytical skills, their main weapon is the logical thinking and working along with the prodigies around them, most of the time theyre taking place in the core of the team, creating plays and fullfilling the blank spaces of the strategy.
The difference between both of them is that Isagi is actually a gifted (the capacity to adapt and foreshadow the future of the game is above the analytical skills of Karasu and any other player in Blue Lock), in his novel is stated that he has oversenses and once had the potential to become an individual striker, however all of these was soffocated by the philosophy of his former team.
Karasu on the other hand has always been aware of his weaknesses, he knows he is mediocre, so he accepts it, tries to soffocated it and clungs himself around the only thing he can control: his logical thinking, building up a facade and finding a way to encounter his failures by aiming the other's.
He was bullied and marginated for being "mediocre", pushing him to become an egoist type (a fragile ego), exploiting others in order to better himself, he had to make the others believe that he was good enough, while Isagi was almost marginated and pointing out by his team for being "too much", being forced to hide his ego to please the people around him, he had to accept the mediocrity and adapt himself to the others so "everyone can grow strong".
Isagi was being made to up bring the others to shine, Karasu was being made to downground the others to uplift himself.
Karasu became an assassin, Isagi became an assistant.
Blue Lock let out the better and the worst of both, for the first time they had to put up themselves against way better people, way talenter players. Isagi changed and understood his real ego, Karasu stayed the same for a while, still hanging up the same strategy until he met his real encounter: Isagi Yoichi.
He THOUGHT that Isagi was made the same (heavily projecting) that he was just another like him: a mediocre parasite working as the core of the strategy and the team, building up the plays by using the real prodigies, but in the inside got nothing special apart from that. He thought that if he could js wipped out Isagi then the dynamic of the team would break and in that fisure he would step in.
But he got strike by the real prodigy when Isagi started using his "strong points" to filled his weaknesses, for the first time, Karasu was overthrow in his own game, because Isagi's spacial awareness and vision were way beyond his. Unlike him that only exploits useful talents (totally ignoring his teammates in the match) Isagi find a way to use all the people on his team, so in one point, the game turns out to be a 5 vs 3.
Karasu thinks and act, Isagi can think and act all at once. So the results turns out to be overpowered by the "ordinary guy".
At this point of BLLK's story, Karasu is already a stablished defender, but Isagi keeps aiming to be a striker, showing how much Blue lock's philosphy had change their viewpoints of their potential and how they could work better. Karasu is no more pointing the weaknesses of his rivals but their strengh, while Isagi has became that extraordinary striker he was supposed to be.
In some way, no matter how much they have changed, theyre supposed to encounter each other everytime by their common traits.
The fact that he studied him and still lost lmao
