PLOT

Blue Lock Anime PLot

Here is the synopsis,  so after Japan soccer team gets eliminated from the 2018 world cup, the Japanese Football Association decides to get an eccentric and enigmatic coach to help train the team, so as to attain their goal of finally winning the world cup.

The coach ends up initiating what they call the Blue Lock, this is more or less like a prison. In this prison there are about three hundred strikers from different high schools all over Japan.  They are put against each other.

The sole survivor of this rigorous training would get to play as the national team’s striker while those who lose will never be able to join the team, ever. 

Blue Lock Anime 1

Yoichi Isagi, a striker who failed to qualify his high school soccer team for the national championship, has been chosen to participate in this risky initiative. He couldn’t help but ponder whether the results would have been different if he had been more selfish and passed to a teammate who missed instead of scoring on his own.

Yoichi hopes to dispel his uncertainties and pursue his ultimate goal of becoming the best striker in the world and leading Japan to World Cup victory by taking advantage of the Blue Lock Project’s golden opportunity.

Sounds intense right? We would have to wait and see the anime adaptation in action, I just can’t wait! I would probably be glued to my screen once it drops. But when would this anime drop?

 

RELEASE DATE

Blue Lock

Now here is the thing, we are not completely sure about the release date that’s because no exact date has been given to the public yet, but what we know for sure is that the anime Blue Lock anime series will premiere in 2022.

The anime is going to be animated by the Eight Bit studio, this studio is known for the creation of one of my favorite anime called That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime, and the anime will be directed by Tetsuaki Watanbe. The music or songs for the anime will be created by Jun Murayama, while we have Taku Kishimoto who would be handling the series script and composition.

Well that’s the update we have for the release date for the anime, hopefully we will be able to get more information for Blue Lock anime soon.

 

PREDICTED CAST

Blue Lock

Okay, I know it might be a little disappointing that we were unable to get the exact date for the anime but let’s talk about some of the cast that would be voicing the main anime character in Blue Lock.

 

Bachira Meguru (Kaito Tasuku)

Bachira Meguru

Bachira is a flamboyant forward who plays according to his intuition, and he was a part of Team Z during the initial selection when he first arrived at Blue Lock.

His primary objective was to find soccer competitors with whom he could play against and  who also had a “monster” inside of them, which he subsequently transformed into but changed to become the best striker in the world after overcoming his traumatic childhood. I can’t give any major spoilers guys but just know that this player is a beast in the field, like I said, he is an amazing striker. So watch out for him in the series when it comes out.

Okay, since I have given you little details about Bachira, let’s talk about who is going to be the voice behind the character; his name is Kaito Tasuku he is obviously a voice actor but not that popular, however, he’s been known for voicing Chargebolt / Denki Kaminari, Reki Kyan, and Yuma Tsukumo.

 

Isagi Yoichi (Ura Kazuki)

Isagi Yoichi

Yoichi Isagi is a playmaker, through his vision, technique, ball control, creativity, and passing skill, he is a football player who can basically control the offensive play team and is frequently participating in passing sequences that lead to goals.

Isagi is able to draw the best out of his teammates by driving them to execute plays so he may attack or by driving them to surpass Isagi’s increasing talent due to his relationships and playing time with most of the major Blue Lock players.

A majority of Blue Lock recognizes and respects his playmaking abilities, and even Jinpachi Ego publicly praises him.

Isagi Yoichi 1

Now the voice behind this character is no one other than Kazuki URA is well known for his playing the role as Shota DOI in World’s End Harem, and Tatsuya MORIGUCHI in Full Dive: Awakening and his role in this Ultimate Next-Gen Full-Dive RPG Is Worse Than Reality! Dimension High School’s Tsuchiya. 

Can’t wait to see how this actor sounds on screen in this anime.

 

Kunigami Rensuke (Ono Yuuki)

Kuginami Rensuke

He was rated number fifty out of the initial forwards of about 300 candidates that were selected for the Blue Lock Project though he was often removed from by Ryusei Shidou from Blue Lock during the final games of Second Selection.

During the First Selection, while on Team Z, Kunigami got tied with someone else as the top scorer of the team, and that was because the other teammate cheated which made them get their goals to tie with him. He is someone you should watch out for, because if left alone, he will score no matter what.

Now the voice actor behind this character is Ono Yuuki, he is a voice actor and musician from Japan who works as someone who makes dubs for anime and video games. He used to be represented by Atomic Monkey, but now works as a freelancer.

Kuginami Rensuke 2

He has voiced various characters such as Taiga Kagami from Kuroko’s Basketball, Josuke Higashikata from JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, Kaname Tsukahara from Kimi to Boku,  Zenkichi Hitoyoshi from Medaka Box, Masayuki Hori from Monthly Girls’ Nozaki-kun, and Jun Isashiki from Ace of Diamond.

Can’t wait to hear his voice in this anime once it comes out.
