“Japan only requires one thing to become the strongest powerhouse in soccer. And that is the creation of a revolutionary striker.” — Ego Jinpachi

The popular Weekly Shonen Magazine manga, Blue Lock, is getting an anime adaptation in 2022. Featuring 300 boys and a man who wants to create the ultimate striker for the Japanese national soccer team, viewers can expect high-stakes action and a lot of hot, sweaty, and muscular young men.

Here’s everything you need to know about the Blue Lock anime adaptation, including its story, release date, characters, seiyuu (voice actors), and status of the manga.

What is Blue Lock?

Blue Lock is a Japanese manga written by Muneyuki Kaneshiro and illustrated by Yusuke Nomura, serialized in Kodansha’s Weekly Shonen Magazine since August 2018.

After the Japanese national soccer team crashed out in the quarterfinals of the 2018 World Cup, a mysterious man named Ego Jinpachi is hired by the Japan Football Union to improve Japan’s World Cup performance. His plan is to bring 300 U-18 forwards to the newly created Blue Lock facility and create the best striker in the world through a rigorous and brutal training regimen.

Only one forward will earn the right to be Japan’s next national striker, however—the 299 losers will never be allowed to represent Japan’s national team. One of the chosen 300 is Yoichi Isagi, who’d just come off a heartbreaking loss at the National High School Football Qualifiers after he passed to a teammate instead of taking a shot himself.

The series follows Yoichi Isagi and the other strikers in their competition to cultivate their ego and become the best forward in the world.

Release date of Blue Lock anime series

While no exact release date has been announced, the Blue Lock anime series is set to premiere in October 8.

The anime is animated by Eight Bit studio, known for That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime, and directed by Tetsuaki Watanabe. Music will be provided by Jun Murayama, while Taku Kishimoto is handling series composition and the script.
