Blue Lock Season 2: The U-20 Match Approaches
Table of Contents
The survival game continues. Who will make the starting lineup for the match against the Japan U-20 team?
Blue Lock Season 2 raises the stakes from individual survival to national glory. The Blue Lock project faces its biggest challenge: a match against the official Japan U-20 team. If they lose, Blue Lock is shut down.
The Selection Process
The season focuses on the tryouts for the starting 11. Isagi Yoichi must adapt and devour his rivals to secure his spot.
- Rin Itoshi: The number one player remains the biggest obstacle for Isagi.
- Shidou Ryusei: A new, chaotic striker who disrupts the balance of Blue Lock.
The U-20 Match
This is arguably the best arc in the manga. It's not just a game; it's a clash of ideologies. Blue Lock's egoism vs. traditional Japanese teamwork.
- Sae Itoshi: Rin's brother and a genius midfielder returns to Japan to crush the Blue Lock dream.
Animation Concerns
Fans are hoping 8bit can maintain the quality of the first season. The U-20 match features complex plays and "flow state" visuals that require top-tier animation.
Conclusion
Blue Lock Season 2 is pure hype. It takes the "battle royale soccer" concept and applies it to a full 11v11 match. Get ready for puzzle pieces, aura monsters, and ego.
