Crunchyroll has announced BLUE LOCK THE MOVIE -EPISODE NAGI, a new story focusing on the fan-favourite character Nagi Seishiro.
It is the first film in the action-packed sports anime BLUE LOCK series.
BLUE LOCK THE MOVIE -EPISODE NAGI- serves as a side story to the series, following high schooler Nagi Seishiro as he discovers his hidden talent for soccer.
“That’s a hassle” was second-year high schooler Nagi Seishiro’s favourite phrase as he lived his dull life. That is, until Mikage Reo, a classmate who dreamed of winning the World Cup, discovered Nagi’s hidden skill, inspiring him to play soccer and share his outstanding talent.
One day, he receives an invitation to the mysterious BLUE LOCK Project. There, he will encounter the finest strikers assembled from across the country. Nagi’s dream of becoming the best, alongside Reo, will take this prodigy to a world he’s never known.
A prodigy can only be shaped when someone discovers him. Now, striker Nagi Seishiro’s incredible talent and persona will set the soccer world ablaze.
BLUE LOCK follows the dreams of 300 high school students who aim to become ace strikers and lead Japan’s Men’s National Team to victory in the next World Cup tournament.
However, if they are eliminated from the BLUE LOCK training program, they will never be able to play for the national team, and their careers are finished. Only one whose ego and skill triumph over all will emerge on top.
Based on the award-winning manga of the same name written by Muneyuki Kaneshiro, illustrated by Yusuke Nomura and serialized in Kodansha’s Weekly Shonen Magazine with over 30 million copies in circulation, the anime debuted in October 2022. It was one of the most popular series during its simulcast season.
