In order to achieve his ambitious goals, he decides to join the grueling selection process where the Japanese football coach Jinpachi Ego plans to pit the best players from the country against one another to find a striker for the team. The action-packed series recounts the inspiring story of a young adult who hopes to achieve a seemingly impossible dream.
What is Blue Lock About?
Following the consistent failure of the Japanese football team in the World Cup, the Japanese Football Association decides to make radical changes to address the deep-rooted structural issues with the country’s national team. The association hires the eccentric Jinpachi Ego as a coach, who believes that the team desperately needs a world-class striker. In order to search for the right talent, Ego brings three hundred top strikers from the country and puts them into a prison-like facility called the Blue Lock.
In the grueling selection process, the strikers must compete against one another to showcase their talent and only one of them will eventually get the golden opportunity to represent Japan on the international platform. Yoichi Isagi is just one of many high schoolers competing to be selected. After failing to help take his team to the national tournament, he now plans to test himself to the limit to figure out whether he has it in him to be the best striker in the world or not.
