The unique illustration highlights Isagi, with Nagi and Reo, the main characters of the spin-off film Blue Lock: Episode Nagi, exiting the field. This signifies that the spotlight is once again on Isagi.
Studio 8-bit, the animation studio responsible for the first season, has also been chosen to adapt the second season of Blue Lock. Just like the first season, season 2 is anticipated to consist of 24 episodes.
New Visual of Season 2 Released
Along with the announcement of the release date for Blue Lock season 2, the key visual for the upcoming season was also unveiled.
The main focus of the key visual is on our protagonist, Isagi Yoichi, and the current number one Blue Lock striker, Itoshi Rin, both intently watching the ball.
Blue Lock Season 2 Expectations
Despite facing tough competition in the final selection of Blue Lock during season one, Isagi Yoichi is now one step closer to achieving his ultimate goal of becoming the top striker.
As the Blue Lock Team competes against the Japan U-20 team, the true objective and identity of the untouchable Itoshi Rin will become known. Additionally, Rin’s older brother, Itoshi Sae, will play a crucial role as the team’s top player.
As the loss of the match could lead to the permanent closure of the Blue Lock Project, the stakes are incredibly high. Isagi and his fellow Blue Lock players must give their all in order to emerge victorious against Japan’s top players and stay in the competition.
