Blue Lock's plot details

Yoichi Isagi, the protagonist of the series, was just a moment away from carrying his high school team to the nationals. Instead of shooting the ball towards the goal, he opted to pass the ball to his teammate who seemed to have had a better chance at scoring. However, his teammate missed the most crucial moment, crushing Yoichi Isagi’s dreams. He was sad, angry, and quite frustrated with the outcome.

Just like any athlete with a hunger for wins, he constantly thought about the scenario and wondered if he could have changed the outcome by shooting it directly into the goal post. His sadness was short-lived since he received an invitation from Japan Football Union and was called for a selection camp.

When he reached the venue, he was quite intimidated by the sheer number of players that were present there. Through a selection process that seemed quite arbitrary, Isagi was just one among some 300 U-18 strikers that were called in the camp, which was no ordinary football camp.

The controversial project was designed to create the perfect striker for the Japanese national team, and in turn help the country win the World Cup. This project was called Project Blue Lock.

The cut-throat environment was clear from Day 1. Despite Isagi’s opinions on the camp, he resolved to fight to the top and outperform the 299 players in order to achieve his dream.
