Storyline of Blue Lock’s First Season
The Blue Lock anime focuses on football. It’s finally here! The Season 1 trailer has been released, and fans have been eagerly awaiting it since the creators gave them a sneak peek.
The story takes place during the 2018 FIFA World Cup, when Japan finished 16th. Because of this, the JFA created Blue Lock, a competition for the finest strikers in Japan, to bring out their best. Only one of the 300 strikers selected from throughout the country will be able to fulfil his goal.
In order to help the strikers win the World Cup in 2022, Jinpachi Ego, an enigmatic and eccentric coach, has been hired. At Blue Lock, the strikers from all across Japan are forced to train and compete against each other, in a prison-like facility.
The strikers are expected to cultivate a strong sense of self-importance in order to become one of Japan’s National narcissistic Ace Strikers capable of winning the World Cup in Brazil. One of the 300 strikers selected for training in the Blue Lock facility is Yoichi Iisagi, the protagonist of the story.
When Yoichi and the other strikers are put together, he realises how much space for development he has. Yoichi wasn’t the finest player, but his ability to think and play, to anticipate the game’s flow, was pretty outstanding. Nagi Seishiro, the protagonist’s key supporting character, was a standout performer, too. He was impressed by his skills, talents, and play style as the final striker standing.
There was a latent skill in every player. In the words of their coach, Jinpachi Ego, they were ‘unpolished jewels’.
Consequently, the Blue Lock facility gave each of the 300 strikers a chance to shine. Yoichi, whose high school soccer team didn’t make it to the nationals because he wasn’t selfish enough, has now come to terms with his failure and sets his sights on becoming the one to bring glory to Japan. As the story progresses, the battle between the ‘unpolished diamonds’ becomes more and more exciting.
