Synopsis for Blue Lock
The story begins with the elimination of the Japan National Team from the 2018 FIFA World Cup, prompting the Japan Football Union to start a training program to prepare a team of high school students who will participate in the 2022 World Cup. Isagi Yoichi, a forward, receives an invitation to join this program shortly after his team misses an opportunity to participate in the Nationals, due to passing the ball to his less skilled teammate, who obviously he missed the shot, denoting Isagi's cowardice in not daring to finish the play himself.
Their coach will be Ego Jinpachi, who intends to end the idea of "weak Japan in football" by applying a radical new training regimen: isolate 300 young strikers in a prison-like institution called "Blue Lock", and put them under to a rigorous training that will create "the greatest, most talented and selfish striker in the world."
