The premiere date, along with a brand new teaser and key image, for the upcoming Blue Lock anime adaptation has been announced. As a medium, anime is typically associated with action, tremendous assaults, incredibly strong villains, and an even stronger protagonist, therefore it’s rare that we get a TV series centered on sports.
Blue Lock aspires to be original and different from other shows of its kind in the anime genre. The novel idea of adapting soccer for an anime audience is what earned this series the acclaim it received. The author, Muneyuki Kaneshiro, began serializing the Blue Lock manga in August of 2018.

Blue Lock Plot
After Japan’s loss to Belgium in the round of 16 at the 2018 World Cup meant that the country once again failed to qualify for the quarterfinals, JFA manager Anri Teieri realized that the country’s football was no longer making any headway because her colleagues were only interested in monetary gain.
Therefore, she gave her blessing to Jinpachi Ego’s “Blue Lock” project, which aims to recruit 300 of Japan’s most talented high school football players and send them to a specialized academy.
Yoichi Isagi is one of the chosen players, but his high school national championship qualification match ended in defeat because he had the guts to score the equalizer and instead tried to transfer the ball to a less gifted teammate who also failed.
Isagi will try to make a name for himself at Blue Lock, a facility with the ambitious goal of molding one of the facility’s 300 young athletes into the world’s most powerful forward so that Japan may win the World Cup in football.
In the first part of their plan, Ego and Teieri want to win the Under-20 World Cup for the first time in history by fielding the best Blue Lock players in a team called Blue Lock Eleven, in which Isagi also finds a place, against the formation Japan Under-20 official; if they win, the Blue Lock players will represent Japan at the Under-20 World Cup.
