BLUELOCK (Original Japanese Version)

Isagi Yoichi, a first-year forward, loses his chance for the Nationals, but that's when he receives an invitation for Blue Lock.

The top five players will be registered to play as forwards in the U-20 Cup that takes place in six months, but if you drop out, you forever lose the chance to play for the Japanese team.

The Japanese Football Association launches a rigorous training program with 300 players to find the nation’s next striker.

Team Z was crushed by Team X, who centered the offensive play around egoistical yet skilled Barou. Responding to Ego's urge to "take up a weapon," the players discuss what their weapons are in preparation for the next match.

Isagi relies on his raw instincts to make a move, and it leads to the fierce battle of "reading" each other's hand with Team Y's playmaker, Niko Ikki.

After the match with Team Y, Isagi's rank moved up, and he became the center of the team. The next match is against Team W, led by the Wanima twins. Their eye contact and impeccable combinations are hard to beat.

Because of Kuon’s betrayal, Team Z is faced with a desperate situation of playing 12-on-10, with the opponent knowing everything about their weapons and strategies. Even under such a circumstance, Team Z never gives up on the fight.

Team Z managed to hold onto a sliver of hope for surviving the first selection. But the sticky situation never ends, with them forced to play 10-on-11 against the strongest team in the group due to Kuon’s betrayal.

The stakes are high with the match against Team V. In the first half, Team Z is overwhelmed by Team V's super trio. The formidable attack of Nagi and Reo is enough to break their spirits.

Each player unleashed their weapon and ego, and Team Z has caught up to a draw. They totally have the momentum of the game, but that has “awakened” Team V’s monster, Nagi.

By Kuon’s self-sacrificing foul, Team Z has a little bit of hope. During the last play that determines their fate, Isagi finds the final piece of the puzzle that’s necessary for his evolution.

With many candidates dropping out, Blue Lock project moves on to the second selection. It’s where a teammate becomes a foe, and a foe becomes a teammate.
