A bit controversial but seeing with their performance and feats in the NEL how do you guys think it would go if Destroyer Rin and Lorenzo faced off in a 1v1? Would Rin destroy him or would Lorenzo hold off the Beast?
So, I was inspired by another recent post talking about Loki's bad writing and inconsistency in this match and this is literally what I've been saying since Hiori scored but I kept getting spammed with "no ball knowledge" and Kaneshiro is finally making a "realistic striker" even though nothing about Loki is realistic at all which is his whole point.
A genius that was born with extraordinary abilities of speed and with that allowed him to see himself above those of normal humans, seeing himself as a God amongst men. He was able to perceive Blitz Isagi's trap, intercept an on-going pass from Kaiser to Noa while he was still behind Isagi, and the most known feat of all... The Magnus Impact block.
All of these along with Loki's goal of proving to Isagi that he is more than just his speed, going up to him and asking if he's still full of himself just because he happened to be born fast. But, going into this match we had our expectations that he's just playing around and that he's going to pop off. Then, that chapter where Rodin talks to them and it's confirmed Loki CAN'T score and even during the starting of the 2nd half when he talked to Charles about giving him more "line-breaking passes". I've noticed all of his plays using godspeed aside from scoring has been like this: he uses godspeed, goes in front or close to a player, and proceeds to do nothing of value, failing every offense or defense attempt aside from his goal. Even with the latest chapter he went into FLOW against Hiori talking bout sum "Game over". You can see in the slides Godspeed just be the black sclera like the reflex eyes but in the next one when he caught up to Hiori you see it be crystallized which is the design of flow.
So, I just wanted to share my thoughts about Loki's character but also some thoughts about this match is that it is way too short. It would've been fine of a length if it were kind of a blow out, I mean even Loki's one goal had more effort than his performance against England let that sink in. To show this much of France this match but have this game be kind of rushed and not letting them expand these players more if it was gonna be an actual intense match between both teams and not be like Japan vs Nigeria again is a wasted opportunity imo. Keep in mind, this is MY personal opinion so feel free to criticize my view of Loki's character and this match.
