BLUE LOCK English Sub & Dub

About BLUE LOCK

BLUE LOCK (ブルーロック) blends action, drama and sports by 8-bit (2022). Below is a fresh retelling of what the story is about. In short: Japan’s desire for Realm Cup glory leads the Japanese Football Association to launch a new rigorous training program to find the national team’s next striker. Three hundred high school players are pitted against each other for the position, but only one will come out on top.

Beyond that: Who among them will be the striker to usher in a new era of Japanese soccer?

In an action series like this, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Voice work is led by Kazuki Ura as Yoichi Isagi and Hiroshi Kamiya as Jinpachi Ego. This one is best suited to viewers who like fast, high-impact fights. With 24 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.
