Chigiri was a child prodigy whose self-assurance and professional progression took a hit after an injury that had psychological repercussions on his performance. However, playing under Ego’s scrutiny at Blue Lock rekindled his spirit. Hyoma is known for his lightning speed at the training center, and occasionally, his goal-scoring prowess gets overshadowed due to his exceptional skill in generating opportunities for fellow forwards while playing as a left winger. Yet, in the Neo Egoist League, he silences some of these questions by netting spectacular goals for his team, Manshine City.

Born with an innate knack for soccer, he excelled under pressure and netted some spectacular goals.

For the very first time, I’m experiencing these emotions, and I wish to engage in a game of soccer with him to grasp his feelings better. I’d like to make an attempt to exert myself.

Natally possessing an exceptional knack for tapping and near-impeccable ball handling skills propelled Nagi to greatness as a striker, eventually earning him a place among the top forwards at the facility.

His outstanding passing and deft dribbling techniques enable him to find weak spots in the opposition, setting up goal-scoring opportunities. What sets Bachira apart is his gut feeling about the game, a unique instinct that differentiates him from other players. As one of the top talents at Blue Lock, he also represents Spain’s FC Barcha in the Neo Egoist League.

From a young age, Isagi Yoichi harbored a strong desire to be recognized as the world’s top striker. Although he faced numerous obstacles early in his career, it was only after receiving an invitation to train under Jinpachi Ego at the Blue Lock training center that he truly found his stride.

I’ll sell my soul for the sake of winning. I found a new ego—a way to fight.

At first, I found myself lagging behind the elite players here, but my analytical approach coupled with relentless determination sparked a remarkable metamorphosis within me.

Shido’s extraordinary speed makes him zip swiftly across the field, generating goal-creating chances seemingly from nowhere. His keen sense of space and positioning is impressive, while his powerful shots on goal and quick reflexes are truly remarkable.

On the field, there is already one true king.

As a die-hard fan, I can’t help but marvel at Shoei’s knack for converting seemingly unattainable goals with his precision middle shots. And let me tell you, coupled with his Flow State, Baro boasts an extraordinary skill – the Predator Eye. This extraordinary ability enables him to zero in on the goalkeeper, patiently waiting for any minor tactical errors that he can swiftly capitalize on and turn into opportunities against the opposition. Simply put, it’s a sight to behold!
