It is after the 2018 World Cup that our story takes place. Japan had a disastrous run and the football association wants to do something about it. So they hire Jinpachi Ego, an enigmatic coach, and task him with getting Japan a World Cup. Jinpachi believes what holds Japan back is an egoistic striker who’s hungry for goals.

So he creates the “Blue Lock” program. In it, 300 of the best high school strikers will be taken to a prison-like facility. One of them will become the Japan Football Team striker. But the other youngsters will be banned from the team forever. And thus an exciting tale of soccer and broken dreams will begin.
