1. Synopsis of the Anime 'Blue Lock'

The story begins after the failure of the Japan National Team in the 2018 World Cup. The Japan Football Federation (JFU) feels that what their team is missing is the presence of an Ace Striker, a world-class selfish striker capable of leading the team to absolute victory. In an effort to address this issue, the JFU recruits a mysterious and controversial coach named Jinpachi Ego.

Ego launches a project called 'Blue Lock', a prison-like training facility designed to gather 300 young talented strikers in Japan. Here, players are forced to compete in a series of elimination challenges in a battle royale style. Ego argues that modern football only needs one extremely selfish player up front, and the 299 other players who fail will be banned from representing Japan forever.

The main protagonist, Yoichi Isagi, is a high school striker who has been struggling with a lack of ego and doubts in making decisions on the field. He joins 'Blue Lock' to hone his skills in matches as a striker.

Throughout his journey, Isagi must face various other genius players. Every match is a life-and-death gamble for a career, forcing Isagi to continuously evolve using the special abilities he discovers.

This anime is adapted from a popular manga written by Muneyuki Kaneshiro and illustrated by Yusuke Nomura. The Blue Lock manga won the 45th Kodansha Manga Award in the Shonen category in 2021. The series is intriguing because it explicitly opposes the Japanese football philosophy that focuses on teamwork, friendship, and perseverance. Jinpachi Ego even openly states that all the Japanese team needs is the most selfish striker in the world.

The creator of Blue Lock, Muneyuki Kaneshiro, revealed that the favorite movie of the Blue Lock coach, Jinpachi Ego, is Whiplash. This is very linear, considering that the film also showcases an intense and pressure-filled relationship between a mentor and a student striving for absolute excellence. Additionally, the main character of this series, Yoichi Isagi, is inspired by the real football player Filippo Inzaghi, who once played for AC Milan.
