Plot
Yoichi Isagi almost scores the winning goal for his high school soccer team, but decides to pass instead. Feeling regretful, he wonders if he should have taken the shot himself.
Back home, he gets an invite from the Japan Football Union to join Blue Lock, a project to find the next star striker for Japan’s national team. They’ve chosen three hundred U-18 strikers to compete.
The goal is to see who can rise to the top through solo and team challenges. Isagi, despite his doubts, decides to give it his all. He knows he must outshine 299 other young strikers to make his dreams come true
