Whether or not you are a die-hard football fan, it is always interesting to watch “Blue Lock,” the anime inspired by the sport. Almost every character is a soccer player, but it is different because you can get to know their personalities and stories beyond the football field, just like becoming their friend. One such significant character in “Blue Lock” is Seishiro Nagi, a lazy boy yet a talented soccer player. Get to know more about him here.
Who Is Seishiro Nagi?
Nagi is a tall, white-haired soccer superpower and a teenager who has gained prodigy status in soccer.
He is taller than most other guys his age, sporting white hair – not blonde, alright? – that leaves a V-shaped fringe in the area between his gray-colored eyes with large irises.
Sure, he is talented, but his friends and family know him as a lazy and unmotivated person. Sometimes, he’d prefer playing video games and skipping football training. Also, he tends to belittle weak and talentless people around him. The pivotal moment came after he suffered his historic loss, so he started to really improve his skills. This creative midfielder only cares about his ambition, dream, and winning.
P.S. His name sounds like Nagini of “Harry Potter, too, doesn’t it?
Things You May Not Know Yet About Him
1. He Is A Taurus
Not that you’d always ask others about their zodiac sign, but Nagi is a Taurus, which is partly ironic because Tauruses are known for being hardworking and humble, yet Nagi isn’t. However, a Taurus’ other personalities match his, such as being dependable, loyal, and tenacious.
2. His Spirit Animals Are Also The Laziest Creatures
Nagi is kind of proud of his slacking attitude in terms of his spirit animals, which are the lazy panda, the slow-moving sloth, and the sedentary koala. You won’t find these animals sprinting like the jaguar, but they stay on trees and move slowly. These three animals are also passive herbivores who do not want to use up their their energy daily – just like Nagi.
3. He’s A History Geek
If Nagi were to become your best friend, it would be easy to invite him to watch “The Tudors” or “The Other Boleyn Girl,” as he is a history geek. History is his favorite subject, studying this more than anything else. Apart from the fascinating stories in history, he says he loves history because he loves memorizing dates and names of people. It’s pretty surprising for a slacker.
4. Spring Is His Favorite Season
In the story, he actually mentioned that he prefers spring over the rest of the reasons. He sees spring as a reflection of his personality. This season makes him feel he doesn’t have to think about anything – well, except spring cleaning, maybe – which reinforces his laziness. Nonetheless, you know spring is the best season to nap and stay indoors. Well, generally, this should not be a surprise.
5. Lemon Tea Is His Favorite Drink
You know how football fans sometimes love to give gifts to their idols. If you want to give Nagi a present, it’s best to order some lemon tea for him. Since even eating he finds lazy, he will love something that requires little effort to prepare.
6. Crabs Are His Pet Peeve
Crabs are crustaceans, and even if crustaceans have a band in Disney’s “The Little Mermaid,” he hates them because of the effort and time it takes to peel them for their meat. So lazy, right? While he eats crab sometimes – nobody can resist the good taste of crabs – the only reason he does is when he finds the need to un-lazy himself. PVP Live wants to roll its eyes.
7. Last Christmas… He Got A Gacha Money As Gift
Since Nagi loves tinkering with his phone to play video games, watch shows, and read manga, it is no surprise for him to receive gacha money as a gift for Christmas. Go ahead and ask him where he spent it.
8. He Doesn’t Have A Favorite Player
What an egotist, right? Aside from the fact that he gives high regard to himself, he being not interested in football initially is why he does not have a favorite soccer player. This disinterest is probably because of his school’s weak football team, just like certain countries in the Olympics. Yet, he found his way to football glory.
9. His Favorite Film Is Jim Carrey’s ‘Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind’
A lazy guy who does not watch countless films? Unusual. So, his favorite movie is what you love, too: “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind” starring The Riddler himself, Jim Carrey, and Rose of “Titanic” herself, Kate Winslet.
This 2004 sci-fi romantic drama movie, written by Charlie Kaufman and directed by Michel Gondry, follows two people who undergo a memory erasure procedure to forget each other after the dissolution of their romantic relationship.
It also stars “Spider-Man” actress Kirsten Dunst, along with Mark Ruffalo, Elijah Wood, and Tom Wilkinson. The movie’s premise is quite odd, and there has to be a reason why Nagi adores it a lot.
Nagi may be lazy but lucky. He is a star football player, receives several gifts, and is a friend. With those trivia, you’ll appreciate watching “Blue Lock” more. You can stream the anime on Crunchyroll, Netflix, and Hulu, among other platforms.
