If you were to compile Ego's words into a book, slap a penguin black classics cover onto it with a picture of a jacked Greek statue and titled it 'On Ego' by Jinpacheus, it would be studied and had theses written on it for millennia. Egotism would no longer be a negative attribute, but rather a revered philosophical school of thought. Its a shame that this manga will never get the recognition it deserves for its revolutionary ideas because its trapped in the genre of 'shonen'. Blue Lock isn't about a new attitude towards football, nor is it a new attitude towards sport, it is anattitude that can be applied to the way we live our lives as a whole.
