PLAYERS WHO GOT DISQUALIFIED IN BLUE LOCK
1. Ryosuke Kira
Ryosuke Kira used to play as a forward for Matsukaze Kakuo High School. He used to be a prodigy in his school and played extremely well as a striker. He was the first one to be eliminated from Blue Lock and was visibly upset when he got disqualified. According to the Blue Lock disqualification rules, he was let go and that’s when he showed his negative side which surprised everyone.
2. Okuhito Iemon
Okuhito Iemon was made to be the goalkeeper of Team Z in Blue Lock. We never go to see his true potential as a striker and he got disqualified in the Second Selection. Missing a lot of goals was his reason for Blue Lock’s Disqualification.
3. Wataru Kuon
Wataru Kuon used to play for Team Z until the day he betrayed them. He told their strategy to the team they were playing against but luckily, Team Z was able to survive and the other team lost. However, Wataru did amend things as he helped Team Z a lot when they were playing against Team V. He did not care if he was going to be disqualified or not. He sacrificed himself for his team when he realizes he had done a terrible thing to them. He became selfish but that didn’t help him at all. Betraying his team and lack of professionalism were the factors that lead to his Blue Lock disqualification.
4. Yudai Imamura
Yudai Imamura was an upbeat and energetic member of Team Z in Blue Lock. He was always seen to be in a pretty good mood and was constantly trying to cheer others up as well. From every start, he was not able to showcase impressive skills that would make him different from the rest of his team members. He knew he was not better than most members of his team. He could not prove himself to be very helpful to his team. According to the Blue Lock disqualification criteria, he was let go in the Second Selection and could not proceed to the next level.
5. Asahi Naruhaya
Asahi Naruhaya was a former member of Team Z. Naruhaya is aware of his limitations and weaknesses as a soccer player and recognizes that he is not on the same level as truly talented and gifted players like Baro, Nagi, or Bachira. This realization drives him to give his all in his match against Isagi and Nagi, as he knows that if he loses, he will not be selected for the team. Despite this, he also understands that his teammate Isagi may be a better player than himself and is willing to accept this and learn from it. However, he could not win the match against Nagi and Isagi as he lacked skills. Thus, he was disqualified.
6. Rensuke Kunigami
Rensuke Kunigami used to be a member of Team Z in Blue Lock. Kunigami is a fierce and ambitious forward who aspires to be the top striker in the world and attain the status of a soccer superhero. Upon arriving at Blue Lock, he is placed on Team Z during the First Selection. Despite his efforts, he is eliminated from the main route during the final games of the Second Selection. However, instead of giving up, he chooses to take a chance and enter a mysterious “Wild Card” door that becomes available to him. This decision shows his determination and willingness to take risks in pursuit of his goal.
7. Hibiki Okawa
Hibiki Okawa was a member of Team Y in Blue Lock. His team was the first one that was put against Team Z. He was a great striker but was eliminated from Blue Lock. His reasons for disqualification are unknown but he was seen leaving the Blue Lock campus looking all sad and devastated.
8. Keisuke Wanima
Keisuke Wanima was a part of Team W in Blue Lock. Keisuke, along with his twin brother, holds a sense of superiority over others and only values the opinions and presence of his twin. During the First Selection, he is the one who communicates and takes charge, asking his brother questions and following his lead. This dynamic between the twins showcases Keisuke’s dependence on his twin and his lack of individual thinking and decision-making abilities. The flow of the two brothers was disrupted in a match and it resulted in the disqualification of the younger one from the Blue Lock Tournament.
