Summary of Blue Lock
The story begins with the departure of the Japanese national team from the 2018 FIFA World Cup, prompting the Japan Soccer Union to initiate a training program to prepare a team of high school students to take part in the 2022 World Cup, and the striker receives an invitation to attend this Program shortly after his team missed an opportunity to compete in the Nationals for passing the ball to his less adept teammate who obviously missed the shot, suggesting Isagi’s cowardice in not daring to close the game finish yourself.
His coach will be Ego Jinpachi, who wants to put an end to the idea of the “weak Japan in football” with a radically new training regime: isolate 300 young strikers in a prison-like facility called “Blue Lock” and subject them to rigorous training, which is “the greatest.” most talented and selfish striker in the world.
