Yoichi Isagi is a high school soccer player with big ambitions, aiming to play at the national level. However, during a pivotal match that could have led his team to the national high school championships, he made a decision that altered the course of his life.
Rather than taking the shot himself, Isagi passed the ball to a teammate, believing in the power of teamwork.
Unfortunately, his teammate missed the shot, and they lost their chance to win. This failure left Isagi frustrated and questioning his instincts, as he wondered if he had made the right choice.
Soon after, Isagi receives an invitation to join a new, intense program called “Blue Lock.” Led by the enigmatic and somewhat extreme Jinpachi Ego, who was hired by the Japan Football Association after Japan’s disappointing performance at the 2018 FIFA World Cup, Blue Lock aims to transform Japanese soccer.
Ego believes that Japan’s national team is missing a crucial element—a player with the confidence to take control of the game and score goals without hesitation.
His vision is to create the world’s ultimate striker. To achieve this, Ego selects 300 of Japan’s top under-18 strikers, including Isagi, and brings them to the Blue Lock facility.
The environment inside is far from traditional; it feels more like a prison than a training camp, with the players isolated from the outside world and forced to compete against each other in a series of rigorous challenges.

The ultimate goal of the program is to produce the best striker in the world—someone who has the skills and confidence to lead Japan to a World Cup victory.
Ego’s method is controversial and unconventional, as he believes that only a striker with a strong sense of self-belief and a “me-first” mentality can change the future of Japanese soccer.
Now, Isagi is thrust into the tough, competitive world of Blue Lock. He must confront his own doubts and learn to become the type of player Ego believes Japan needs—someone who puts ambition above teamwork when the moment demands it.
Isagi’s journey is filled with obstacles, but he is determined to prove himself and redefine what it means to be a true striker.
