Blue Lock, the latest soccer-themed anime, is famous for the quote “The monster inside”. This "monster" is inside Bachira Meguru. So, who and what is this "monster" actually? This time, Dunia Games would like to discuss the "monster" inside Bachira. Have a look!

1. Bachira's Imaginary Friend

This "monster" that Bachira often talks about actually doesn't exist. We would also remind you that this anime doesn't have a supernatural theme. It is just an imaginary friend that Bachira had since he was little. Bachira, who is too talented in soccer, was seen as weird by other kids his age. That also makes him not have a partner or a friend whose ability is equal to his.

It was then that this "monster" appeared and became Bachira's playmate. Since then, Bachira just played with it. Even though he felt like he was playing with the "monster", he was actually playing alone. Surely people who saw him would think Bachira is a weirdo.

2. How The "Monster" Was Born

The monster that became Bachira's imaginary friend was not born by itself because there was a reason behind it. Bachira's sadness, who is always being bullied by his friend, gave birth to this imaginary monster.

For Bachira, only this monster could understand him. Even though his figure looks scary when depicted, Bachira isn't afraid of him at all. He's actually happy when the monster wants to be his friend when playing soccer.

3. The "Monster" Inside Isagi

Since the first time they met, Bachira already knew that there was a "monster" in Isagi Yoichi that was the same as himself. That's why in the first episode Bachira said “let go of the monster inside you”.

Isagi didn't understand at all what Bachira was talking about at that time, but he accidentally summoned his monster and eliminated Kira from the Blue Lock program. Since then, Bachira has been attracted to Isagi and wants to continue playing soccer with him. Bachira also sees the same monster in Rin Itoshi.

4. The Advantages for Bachira

Ever since the monster appeared, Bachira doesn't feel lonely anymore even though he doesn't have any friends. This is because the monster always accompanies him to play soccer even though Bachira only plays alone. Bachira always sees the monster as a formidable player, perhaps at his level.

The advantage is that  Bachira can grow stronger even though he just trains alone (or to some extent, with the "monster").

5. The Downsides for Bachira

Even though Bachira was able to grow stronger thanks to the monster that always accompanies him in practice, there are also downsides to him. Bachira doesn't have any friends at all. Isagi became Bachira's first friend who could play on the same level as him.

Bachira might also be considered a madman for seeing something that no one else can see. When playing in a team, Bachira thinks his team members are as strong as the monsters. He often gives passes that ordinary people cannot reach. This is what makes Bachira even more shunned by his peers.
