After Japan’s early exit from the 2018 FIFA World Cup, the Japanese Football Union resolves to make bold changes in an effort to build a team capable of winning the 2022 World Cup.
A new initiative is launched, targeting high school players with the goal of developing a game-changing striker to lead Japan to glory.
Among the players selected for this ambitious project is Isagi Youichi, a high school forward with aspirations of greatness.
However, Isagi is burdened by a recent failure in a pivotal match. Rather than taking the shot himself, he passed the ball to a teammate who missed, costing his team their chance at Nationals.
Frustrated by his decision and doubting his abilities, Isagi struggles to believe that he has what it takes to become a top-level player.
Everything changes when Isagi meets the program’s coach, Ego Jinpachi. Unlike any coach he’s encountered before, Ego has a radical vision for Japanese soccer’s future.
He boldly declares that the root cause of Japan’s struggles in soccer is the absence of selfish, goal-hungry strikers. To “revolutionize Japanese football,” Ego unveils his shocking plan: Blue Lock.
Blue Lock Plot
Blue Lock is a high-intensity, prison-like facility built to cultivate the world’s most egotistical and ruthless striker. Inside Blue Lock, 300 of the best young forwards are isolated from the rest of the world and subjected to a grueling series of challenges.
Only one player will emerge as Japan’s ultimate striker, while the others will be permanently eliminated from the national team’s future.

Ego’s philosophy is clear yet controversial: to win on the international stage, a striker must be selfish, unrelenting, and laser-focused on scoring goals.
When Isagi steps into Blue Lock, he finds himself in a ruthless environment where only the strongest survive. Surrounded by fierce rivals, all driven by the same ambition, Isagi must confront his self-doubt and decide if he has the will to succeed.
The program challenges not just his physical abilities but also his mindset, pushing him to embrace the cutthroat nature of competitive soccer.
With his future and dreams on the line, Isagi embarks on a transformative journey, striving to become the egotistical striker that Ego believes Japan desperately needs.
But as the competition intensifies, Isagi must decide if he has the strength to endure the relentless pressure and overcome the darker aspects of this unforgiving training.
