Soccer anime fans, brace yourselves—Blue Lock is back and bigger than ever! The highly anticipated second season just dropped a brand-new trailer, and it promises to take the intense action and stakes to a whole new level. The new season officially kicks off on October 5, 2024, streaming on Crunchyroll, and it’s shaping up to be one of the most exhilarating seasons in sports anime history.
The Match That Could End It All
What’s at stake? Oh, just the entire Blue Lock project. The trailer sets the scene for a critical showdown between the Blue Lock players and Japan’s U-20 national team, and the tension is sky-high. If Blue Lock’s players lose, the whole project—designed to create Japan’s ultimate striker—will be shut down for good. No pressure, right?
This isn’t your average soccer game. With everything on the line, Isagi Yoichi and his teammates must pull out all the stops to prove they deserve their place on the team. If they fail, their dreams of being Japan’s top striker will disappear along with the Blue Lock project.
Familiar Faces and New Rivals
The trailer gives us a glimpse of both returning characters and new faces, raising the anticipation for the upcoming showdown. Fan-favorites like Isagi, Chigiri, and Bachira are back, showing off their signature soccer skills. But it’s the introduction of Japan’s U-20 team, with new players like Yo Hiori and the fierce Oliver Aiku, that has fans buzzing. The rivalry between these players is bound to set the stage for some jaw-dropping soccer action.
And, of course, the mastermind behind it all, Jinpachi Ego, makes a dramatic appearance. Ego explains that only the best of Blue Lock’s players will be chosen for the upcoming match, making the selection process just as intense as the game itself.
More Episodes, More Action, More Drama
Season 2 will be 14 episodes long, covering the Blue Lock vs. Japan U-20 Arc from the manga (chapters 109-151). This arc has long been a fan favorite, and anime-only viewers are in for a rollercoaster of emotions. Not only will we see incredible soccer action, but we’ll also get deeper insights into the personal growth of the players.
Voice actors Kazuki Ura (Isagi Yoichi) and Tasuku Kaito (Bachira Meguru) are set to reprise their roles, bringing back the energy and passion that made season 1 so thrilling. Joining them are new voice talents like Eiji Mikami (Yo Hiori) and Satoshi Hino (Oliver Aiku), who are sure to add more excitement to the cast.
