A real-life "Blue Lock" is about to begin. When you draw a manga seriously, it links with the dreams of serious soccer players, and a serious plan begins. I hope this will become a place for discovering talent that surpasses even "Blue Lock". We are waiting for serious egoists who aim to win the World Cup.

The egoists we imagine may exist in this real world... No, I'm sure they do! We are waiting for applications from all you egoists who think you are the best striker in the world!
■Anime "Blue Lock" Producer: Ryoya Arisawa
Ever since the anime adaptation was decided, the entire anime staff has been seriously aiming to "create a work that will change the world." I am overwhelmed with emotion that such a dreamlike, seemingly reckless "ego" has finally reached the JFA and resulted in this collaboration! I am eagerly awaiting the moment when the "world's best striker" who will change the future of the soccer world is born!
