Good work, Li'l Genius.

Got a minute to talk?

Japan's U-20s

What do you want? Make it quick.

All right.

Our star player, Sendou, and your violent plus-one got into another fight.

Seems they just can't get along.

Don't care.

Just kick that garbage "star player" of yours off the team.

Nah, he may be garbage to you, but to us, he's our star player.

So a lot of our players are saying if Sendou's left out, they won't play.

At this rate, the match will be boycotted due to too many players withdrawing.

Still not gonna change your mind, Li'l Genius?

Is that a threat?

Not at all.

I don't think anyone wants to see the match canceled.

You're the crowd-pulling panda here, so I'm trying to be nice to you.

So what do you want?

Let us win without Shidou.

Should be easy for a genius like you, right?

Is that the consensus of the team?

Or did the JFU geezers put you up to it?

Well, 99% of it is my selfish side wanting to know what you can bring to the table.

And the remaining 1% is because it's my job as captain.

I don't like money-grabbing adults, either.

You're one self-serving captain.

Interesting idea. Okay, I'll take the bait.

You will? Thanks. You're more amiable than I thought.

Don't get the wrong idea.

I'll be the one testing you.

If you can't keep up with me, I'm out.

All right.

As you wish...

That day, I was surprisingly calm.

What mattered was what I had to do.

The "where" and "who" didn't matter.

The previous 15 days of training had helped me to think that way.

Mostly because we'd trained with a strong sense of purpose.

How would we get laser-like focused for this challenge that'd light a fire in our lives?

Niko Bachira Karasu Chigiri Aryu Gagamaru How would we get laser-like focused for this challenge that'd light a fire in our lives?

How would we get laser-like focused for this challenge that'd light a fire in our lives?

The answer to that lay in...

Oh, hey, there's a soccer game today.

Who are they playing again?

"Blue Lock"?

Never heard of 'em.

It's the U-20s' "diamond generation," plus Itoshi Sae.

No way they'll lose.

Still, I never expected Itoshi Sae to actually turn out for them.

Here's What Blue Lock Is All About

Please just let me play soccer the way I want to.

Not happening. You have to follow our roles.

Use that exceptional physique you were born with...

...and focus on doing hold-up play for the team.

All right.

Blue Lock, huh?

Wanna come with me?

Yeah!

Go! Go!

Nice one!

This stadium is huge. I didn't know this was here.

We get to see Sae-kun in the flesh.

They're known as the diamond generation! Are you ready?

Yay! They're known as the diamond generation!

Wow, a poster of Sendou! Look, look! They're known as the diamond generation!

Wow, a poster of Sendou! Look, look!

There are no gaps in Japan's U-20s! It's a certain victory! Wow, a poster of Sendou! Look, look!

I can't believe I get to see Itoshi Sae's first game and goal in a Japan shirt. There are no gaps in Japan's U-20s! It's a certain victory!

Aw, seriously?

What's this?

Is it a bear?

Hey, do you want one?

Nah.

There's one thing Japanese soccer needs to become the best in the world:

The birth of a revolutionary striker.

Based on my arbitrary and biased decision-making,

Jeez, you're drinking already? Based on my arbitrary and biased decision-making,

I chose 300 18-and-under strikers from across the nation, Jeez, you're drinking already?

I chose 300 18-and-under strikers from across the nation,

and started an experiment to turn one of them into the world's best striker.

Who's the big-talking four-eyes with the bob cut? And that's what this facility is for.

"Blue Lock." Who's the big-talking four-eyes with the bob cut?

No idea. "Blue Lock."

Gosh, look at this, dear.

Yeah...

Is Yoichi really playing a game here?

It goes without saying that Itoshi Sae's awesome.

But Oliver Aiku in defense is seriously insane.

Oh, really? Huh.

Sae-kun's a world-class player, so he's on a whole other level.

I personally traveled to Spain to watch him play.

Wow, you know so much.

Hey, should we open this champagne now?

Well, he's up against a bunch of failed high schoolers in this "Blue Lock" team.

So I can see Sae-kun scoring a hat-trick and his team winning 5-0 or so.

Oh, it's over here!

Hey, nice! We're pretty close!

Sendou-kun's so cool!

Aiku!

Check it out, Isagi. How do I look?

Oh, looking good.

This is actually our first time wearing the Blue Lock kit.

Yeah. At last, huh?

We're playing the U-20s for real.

I can't believe we've come this far.

But today isn't the end.

This is only our beginning, right?

Yeah.

Change your fate in the next 90 minutes.

Carve your egos into the world today.

We're going to win this, Blue Lock.

Hell yeah!

Got it.

Yes, sir.

Okay, let's go.

Let's start this decisive match!

Oh, here comes Blue Lock.

Wow, there they are.

So this is U-20 Japan XI.

And that's Itoshi Sae.

Tch. Can't help it. I'm gettin' excited.

Yup, totally.

I like this feeling.

I'm quivering with glam-ticipation.

Are you the goalie?

Today's my first time in goal.

Huh?

Shidou's your former teammate, right?

Sorry, but he won't get the chance to play today.

We'll stop you from scoring. Good luck out there, Blue Lock.

Sure.

If we lose this match, my soccer career is over.

I've survived moments like this before.

That's why I'm standing here on this stage.

This is a match the whole country will be watching. Play-by-Play Announcer

The stadium is jam-packed.

What are your thoughts, Natsuki-san?

Man, isn't this just the best?

I can't believe it.

Soccer Commentator I can't believe it.

I mean, the Itoshi Sae is playing today, you know? Soccer Commentator

The whole world is tuned in to this game.

Indeed.

Here are the formations of both teams.

All eyes are on Itoshi Sae playing in the hole.

This match is being held at Blue Lock's main stadium.

And it's almost time for kickoff.

Maybe I've come farther than I ever imagined I would.

The view in front of me now is one I never envisioned before coming to Blue Lock.

How well can I play in front of this huge crowd?

No, ignore it.

Who cares what other people think?

I have to concentrate on myself.

Become immersed in the battle.

So half-baked.

Japan's U-20s

Our main attackers are me, Rin...

Blue Lock XI Our main attackers are me, Rin...

Blue Lock XI

Blue Lock XI

and Nagi. Blue Lock XI

Blue Lock XI

The three of us will make the chances.

All built around this central triangle.

The basis of this formation is a 4-5-1 with Itoshi Rin up top.

But think of it as a defensive formation.

When attacking, the key player, Karasu Tabito, will drop back

between the two center backs to make a three-man defensive unit.

Got it.

Then, the full-backs will move up to make it...

a 3-6-1 "nitro formation" with more men in the middle.

This is a flexible formation to nick goals from anywhere,

only made possible because of our all-striker team.

It's a super all-out attack Blue Lock system.

More men, huh?

Oh?

We have to take advantage of this moment before they can adjust.

Go for it...

monster!

Blue Lock XI

Shot fired, and boom. Blue Lock XI

Blue Lock XI

Oh, what's this? You coming this way, kiddo?

Japan's U-20 Oh, what's this? You coming this way, kiddo?

Pretty please? If you don't mind.

He's fast.

From that double touch feint, he'll go here!

Pivoting on the ball while going at top speed?

You ready?

Air rush turn!

Now to hit it first-time into the box.

Nah.

Not there.

The one perfectly linking up with my perfect play...

I knew it'd be you, Isagi.

Love ya, partner.

The U-20s... This field...

You and I will smash 'em all!

I'm in behind!

You're perfect at this, Bachira.

I have more faith in your dribbling than anyone else.

This'll work.

Our style of soccer...

can slice right through them!

Wha...

Are you serious?

What's he doing here?

No way. You can reach that?

A superb clearance by Oliver Aiku!

What the hell was that?

A guess? A reaction?

Or maybe it was both?

The positions of the players, my speed, where the ball was going to drop...

He had to have seen all of it, then moved reflexively in a second to cover.

His field of vision, his brain, his physique...

What kind of specs does he have?

Aiku! Aiku! Aiku!

So this is Japan's U-20s' key defender and captain, Oliver Aiku. Aiku! Aiku! Aiku!

People often compare strikers to thieves and defenders to the police.

While I'm on patrol...

you won't be stealing any goals, Li'l Burglar.

Aiku! Aiku! Aiku!

Our max-intensity move was seen through in a second and stamped out. Aiku! Aiku! Aiku!

Aiku! Aiku! Aiku!

The U-20s are on a whole other level.

This is great. I've found him.

The person I want to challenge.

He's the wall that'll lead me to finding my "flow."

Just try and catch me, Mr. Policeman.

You might wanna put a collar on me.

All right.

This is the team we're playing: Japan's U-20s.

Oh, yeah? Never seen 'em before.

Let's look at their data to prepare ourselves.

This is Sendou Shuto, their star forward.

He's a regular in the league, and already a goalscorer.

Seems his shots and speed are top-tier.

Yeah? But doesn't he kinda remind you...

of a mean fox from a picture book?

Hah, yeah. I can kind of see it.

Then, what about this Kitsunezato guy?

A lemur.

Hah, he does look a little cute.

This Neru guy reminds me of a hamster.

Then, this guy is a sleep-deprived raccoon.

And this one is...

one of those odd kokeshi dolls.

He's not even an animal?

Hey. Keep it down, you two.

Itoshi Rin Itoshi Rin

Oh, Rin-kun. Itoshi Rin Itoshi Rin

Are you playing that same dumb game again? Itoshi Rin Itoshi Rin

Hmph. They're all water flea shit. End of story.

Huh? Do water fleas even poop?

Yeah? Then, what about...

him?

VEIN POP

What living thing do you hate the most?

Huh? Um, the mosquito, maybe?

A mosquito buzzing about when I'm trying to go to sleep. Yup, mosquito.

BZZZ A mosquito buzzing about when I'm trying to go to sleep. Yup, mosquito.

A mosquito with an awful, nagging personality who tries to one-up you and can't be defeated.

He's an unpleasant, worthless creature like that.

BZZZ

Half-baked. You're so half-baked. And your blood's lukewarm. BZZZ

Wow. BZZZ

THUMP

Let's squeeze the life out of Itoshi Sae. THUMP

Let's squeeze the life out of Itoshi Sae.

Hey, let's not play this game anymore, okay?
