After Japan’s devastating elimination from the World Cup, the Japan Football Union launches a radical new training program: Blue Lock — a prison-like facility where 300 of Japan’s best young forwards battle to become the world’s ultimate striker. Yoichi Isagi, an unassuming high school player, joins the competition, where teamwork means nothing and ego means everything. Only one player will survive Blue Lock and claim the position of Japan’s national team striker!
