BTS x Blue Lock Characters

 

Please beware, this will definitely contain anime spoilers! Now I know I'm late to the party, but after recently watching Blue Lock and binge reading the manga in a week (3 days) I have fully hopped on the Blue Lock train. Now while I wasn't avoiding Blue Lock, I also wasn't fully convinced I'd enjoy it... I clearly did so if you need a sign to watch, here you go. This is the sign. As I was watching Blue Lock, I felt that I needed to combine my new favorite thing with my old favorites. Those old favorites being, as you guessed it, BTS! 

As I was reading the new weekly Blue Lock chapter I thought it'd be fun to assign each BTS member a Blue Lock character and well here we are! Now just to be clear, I do not think that really any of the boys line up perfectly with any of the characters. This is just who I thought their personalities matched up with the best. With that being said, let's unpack who my seven favorite boys resemble in Blue Lock. 

Jin and Mikage Reo 

I think this may be one of the most obvious ones here. Jin and Reo have two major things in common. First both are RIDICULOUSLY charming. I enjoyed Reo more and more after watching him in the anime and seeing him more in the manga. Do I even need to say anything about this for Jin? I really think Jin is one of the most charming Kpop idols. The flying kisses just always get me. Second, they both have that family business dad is a CEO type thing going on. Jin's father is the CEO of a major company and we know that Reo's family is ridiculously rich. A clear match made in heaven. Also.. we miss you Jin. 

Yoongi and Nagi Seishiro 

Before I even get started, I of course don't think that Yoongi is anywhere near as lazy as Nagi is. No way he's ever even had the opportunity to be. (I still do love Nagi even with all his laziness). Now that we got that out the way... JUST LOOK AT THESE TWO. That's it, that's the tweet.... I didn't even realize how much they resembled one another until I put this together. They both quite literally are cats at heart. They also have that whole genius thing in common just in different aspects. Now of course Yoongi works ridiculously hard while everything is a hassle for Nagi, but come on the resemblance is there. 

Hoseok and Nijiro Nanase 

Please do not look at this and say...who? Now if you're not caught up on the manga, that's probably exactly what you'll say and no real need to heed any spoilers as I won't be revealing much. Now if you have read the manga you (hopefully) agree that he has shown to be an absolute sunshine!! With all the edgy and some downright mean characters it was so hard to find a match for out sunshine Hobi. I think the best option I found was the polite Nijiro. The first time Isagi met him he just gave such puppy dog energy. We know that Hobi is both our hope and our sunshine so Nijiro is certainly his best match. Also.. we miss you too Hobi.

Namjoon and Isagi Yoichi 

Namjoon is our resident main character and Isagi Yoichi is our real main character in Blue Lock. Do I need to say more? No. Will I say more? Yes. What immediately reminds me of Namjoon is when Isagi, Barou, Nagi, and Chigiri lost to Rin and Isagi was the one chosen to go on. We got to see a glimpse into their lives without Isagi and it was clearly Isagi that was the one who held that group together. He was basically the LEADER of that group. *Wink Wink* Isagi is constantly acting like the mature one of the bunch which reminds me exactly like our actual mature leader of BTS.. Kim Namjoon. We also often get to see Isagi act as the voice of reason... exactly like Namjoon. 

Jimin and Chigiri Hyoma 

This was actually another easy one for me. Now first during ISAC Jimin was actually deemed the fastest. Pairing this with the fact that Chigiri is the resident speedster in Blue Lock and we already have an easy comparison. Another thing that really stands out about these two is how elegant they are. Jimin trained as a contemporary dancer and watching him dance he's always so smooth and pretty. Chigiri is also constantly referred to as "Princess" in Blue Lock making these two a clear match. 

Taehyung and Yo Hiori 

Ok, first I have a personal reason. I first got into BTS during the Boy In Luv era back in 2014. I remember Taehyung being the first member to catch my eye and thus began the spiral. I felt the same way with Hiori and was excited for more of his dialogue in Blue Lock. Hiori also was shown to be really helpful particularly to Isagi even with Blue Lock basically being a survival competition. Although he isn't shown to be Mr.Popular he does remind me of Taehyung in that way where he's friendly and can easily get along with others. We see this clearly with Taehyung and the friend group he made quickly while acting.. and really just anyone because who doesn't love Taehyung?

Jungkook and Rin Itoshi 

Well.. it was hard for me to find a match for Jungkook.. Of course I'm not saying Jungkook is as brooding as Rin is or has as much attitude, but there are similarities. Rin is essentially the all-rounder of Blue Lock. He excels in most areas despite being a year younger than characters like Isagi. Who does that sound like? Jungkook has always been known as the "Golden Maknae" because well he can do it all. He's also the youngest of the group, kinda sounds like Rin right? ALSO THE EYESSSS! Rin has eyes a pretty green color with the longer under eyelashes and Jungkook has really pretty doe eyes. JUST LOOK AT THEM THEY FAVOR EACH OTHER!

Of course it was hard to find matches even close to perfect with the boys, but I thought it was fun to think this through and try!
