What Is “Blue Lock”? A Quick Beginner-Friendly Overview
“Blue Lock” is a hugely popular soccer manga written by Muneyuki Kaneshiro and illustrated by Yusuke Nomura, currently serialized in Weekly Shonen Magazine. The series won the 45th Kodansha Manga Award (Shonen category), cementing its status as one of the most influential sports manga of recent years.
The story begins when the Japan Football Union launches the radical Blue Lock Project, designed to create the world’s greatest striker—someone capable of leading Japan to a World Cup victory. Three hundred of the nation’s most talented high school forwards are locked into a brutal training and elimination program where only one can emerge as the ultimate “egoist.”
The TV anime aired its first season starting in October 2022, followed by a second season in October 2024 with a total of 14 episodes. The theatrical film “Blue Lock -EPISODE Nagi-” premiered in April 2024, focusing on Seishiro Nagi’s perspective. At Blue Lock Egoist Festa 2025, fans were thrilled by the announcement that a new anime sequel is currently in production.
