WEBVTT
00:15.830 --> 00:18.530
I am a striker!
00:19.190 --> 00:21.040
Someone once said:
00:21.040 --> 00:22.910
"In the world of soccer,"
00:22.910 --> 00:28.160
"you can train first-rate goalkeepers,
defenders, and midfielders,"
00:28.160 --> 00:31.140
"but strikers are different."
00:31.140 --> 00:37.760
"A first-rate striker will find
where the soccer is most intense..."
00:37.760 --> 00:40.570
"and suddenly appear there."
02:13.560 --> 02:17.020
Episode 2
02:13.890 --> 02:17.020
Monster
02:20.820 --> 02:23.660
Bitter Disappointment
02:20.820 --> 02:23.660
\h\h\hA Place in the Quarters
Slips From Their Grasp
02:20.820 --> 02:23.660
\h\h\hA Place in the Quarters
Slips From Their Grasp
02:20.820 --> 02:23.660
\h\h\hA Place in the Quarters
Slips From Their Grasp
02:20.820 --> 02:23.660
\h\h\hA Place in the Quarters
Slips From Their Grasp
02:24.060 --> 02:25.770
Let me be blunt.
02:25.770 --> 02:28.620
If things carry on the way they are,
02:28.620 --> 02:31.570
Japan will never win the
World Cup. Not in a million years.
02:29.710 --> 02:31.580
Japan Football Union
New Member of the Team
02:36.920 --> 02:41.220
Japan Football Union
Special Adviser
02:37.700 --> 02:42.650
We're making plenty of dough, so what do
we care? After all, soccer's a business.
02:42.650 --> 02:49.270
Anri-chan, surely you don't really believe
Japan has a chance of winning the World Cup?
02:50.560 --> 02:53.140
Of course I do, you money-grubbing rodent.
02:53.140 --> 02:55.610
It's my goddamn dream!
02:55.960 --> 02:58.320
"If we just play our soccer, we can win"?
02:58.320 --> 03:01.450
"Japan's possession soccer is
good enough for the world stage"?
03:01.450 --> 03:06.280
That kind of thinking is exactly why
we never make it past the last 16!
03:06.280 --> 03:11.710
Well, you came up with this idea,
laid the groundwork, and put it all in motion.
03:12.180 --> 03:15.920
So if it doesn't work out,
I know whose head will roll.
03:16.480 --> 03:20.250
I truly believe the only person
who can break down Japanese soccer
03:20.250 --> 03:25.260
and forge a player who can lead
this country to a World Cup win...
03:25.720 --> 03:27.570
is this man right here!
03:28.900 --> 03:30.510
Ego Jinpachi.
03:35.630 --> 03:37.330
Isagi-kun?
03:37.940 --> 03:39.940
What are you doing?
03:40.380 --> 03:43.820
Wait, what is this? What just happened?
03:44.310 --> 03:48.660
I'm sorry. It's just...
The ball came at me out of nowhere and...
03:48.660 --> 03:50.730
Huh? Don't give me—
03:52.140 --> 03:56.380
Diamonds in the rough,
only results matter here.
03:56.690 --> 03:59.050
Losers lock off.
03:59.050 --> 04:02.060
Kira Ryosuke, you are disqualified.
04:10.910 --> 04:12.430
This is bullshit.
04:13.020 --> 04:18.190
How is it possible for
my future career to lie in tatters...
04:18.190 --> 04:21.220
all because of some stupid game?!
04:21.220 --> 04:23.400
I'm Japanese soccer's jewel in the crown!
04:23.710 --> 04:27.830
You telling me Igaguri and Isagi-kun
are more talented than me?! Huh?!
04:27.830 --> 04:30.120
Why does this silly game
of tag even matter?!
04:30.350 --> 04:32.450
What does it have to do with soccer?!
04:33.420 --> 04:37.640
In Blue Lock, everything has
something to do with soccer.
04:37.640 --> 04:39.790
Look around you, Mr. Mediocre Elite.
04:40.500 --> 04:42.250
The room you are in...
04:44.380 --> 04:46.830
is the same size as the penalty area.
04:47.970 --> 04:51.770
Roughly 75% of all goals are
born within these confines.
04:52.160 --> 04:56.720
If you can't do your work in this space,
you have no talent as a striker.
04:57.060 --> 04:59.070
S-So... So what?
04:59.070 --> 05:01.320
Tag is nothing like soccer!
05:01.730 --> 05:03.860
If you're the one running away,
05:04.100 --> 05:07.490
you need a keen sense of interpersonal
space, tactics, and positioning.
05:07.760 --> 05:09.820
If you're the one doing the chasing,
05:09.820 --> 05:14.660
your dribbling and aim must be precise,
and the quality of your kicks must be high.
05:14.660 --> 05:17.920
That makes it an excellent
soccer training drill, wimp.
05:18.540 --> 05:22.970
Even so, how can you know anything
about me in just two minutes?
05:22.970 --> 05:24.760
A soccer match is 90 minutes!
05:25.120 --> 05:29.590
On average, the total amount of time any
player spends on the ball in a 90-minute game
05:29.590 --> 05:31.570
is about 136 seconds.
05:32.020 --> 05:35.390
You wasted the chance that was
afforded to all of you equally.
05:35.390 --> 05:38.390
B-But nothing could be done
in those last ten seconds—
05:38.390 --> 05:40.980
Would you say the same
thing if this was a match?
05:42.400 --> 05:47.530
When the ball hit you, there was
still one second left on the clock.
05:47.970 --> 05:53.120
You could've survived if you'd blasted it at
the immobile Igaguri. But you didn't see it.
05:53.120 --> 05:56.620
In a way, it was the last play
right before the final whistle.
05:56.620 --> 06:02.990
The moment your teammate's shot hit you,
you gave up and accepted defeat.
06:03.600 --> 06:05.730
That's why you didn't see it.
06:06.570 --> 06:10.090
You missed your chance at victory
by not taking that extra step.
06:12.050 --> 06:17.860
Whoever is "it" in this game of tag might be the
loser if he holds onto the ball for too long.
06:17.860 --> 06:22.560
But he might also be the winner, as only
he has the power to choose who is hit next.
06:22.830 --> 06:28.900
A striker shoulders that responsibility
and fights until the very last second.
06:29.460 --> 06:34.910
Isagi Yoichi targeted someone ranked
higher than him, not the fallen Igaguri.
06:34.910 --> 06:39.830
Bachira Meguru stole the ball off him
and went after the strongest guy.
06:39.830 --> 06:45.960
That's a selfish obsession with victory that
isn't affected by the group's common sense.
06:46.440 --> 06:50.370
That's the egoism of the
striker that I'm looking for.
06:50.370 --> 06:53.230
You lost because you ran away from it.
06:53.230 --> 06:55.550
Kira Ryosuke, lock off.
06:56.090 --> 06:59.970
But... B-But he came at me...
06:59.970 --> 07:02.540
Bachira came outta nowhere...
07:03.190 --> 07:07.150
Bachira came at me outta nowhere!
07:08.380 --> 07:10.210
Kira-kun...
07:13.300 --> 07:14.850
This isn't right.
07:15.210 --> 07:18.060
It... can't be.
07:24.780 --> 07:30.230
Why did I kick it? Did I just
end Kira-kun's soccer career?
07:30.830 --> 07:31.720
Then why...
07:34.930 --> 07:37.850
Why am I so pumped up?
07:38.490 --> 07:39.520
That guy...
07:41.510 --> 07:43.690
Why did you pass it to me?
07:43.690 --> 07:46.980
If I hadn't kicked it, you would've lost.
07:46.980 --> 07:51.320
Hm? Because I knew you'd kick it.
It was written on your face.
07:51.320 --> 07:52.260
Huh?
07:52.260 --> 07:54.490
"Only results matter here," right?
07:54.850 --> 07:57.950
So I believed in you, and I won, right?
07:58.210 --> 08:01.200
This guy's totally crazy.
08:01.200 --> 08:05.060
Is this ridiculousness going to continue?
08:05.060 --> 08:06.670
"Ridiculousness"?
08:06.670 --> 08:10.360
You're right. That's the world of "win or lose."
08:10.360 --> 08:14.560
Those world-class strikers
you so casually adore
08:14.560 --> 08:17.890
put their lives on the line
like this every day.
08:17.890 --> 08:22.830
How does it feel to fight for
your career for the first time?
08:22.830 --> 08:25.200
Does it scare you? Does it excite you?
08:25.200 --> 08:27.600
This is normal in Blue Lock.
08:27.900 --> 08:32.360
Are you shaken up? Did it make
you go, "All right! I survived!"?
08:32.980 --> 08:34.940
That's what victory feels like.
08:34.940 --> 08:37.070
Etch that into your brain.
08:38.740 --> 08:42.940
Every time you get a taste of that
pleasant sensation, your ego grows.
08:42.940 --> 08:47.210
And that will elevate you to the
height of world's greatest striker.
08:54.970 --> 09:00.070
Congratulations. You have passed the
admission exam for the Blue Lock dorm.
09:00.070 --> 09:01.570
All right!
09:02.060 --> 09:04.710
There are eleven of you in this room.
09:04.710 --> 09:07.640
You eleven will be living together.
09:08.390 --> 09:11.760
At times, you'll work together.
Other times, you'll betray each other.
09:11.760 --> 09:14.140
You will be rivals who
wreck each other's dreams.

12:02.020 --> 12:03.070
Go!
12:02.030 --> 12:03.990
National High School Soccer Championship
12:02.030 --> 12:03.990
Namikaze
12:02.030 --> 12:03.990
Arashi Technical High
12:10.770 --> 12:11.830
Bachira!
12:11.830 --> 12:13.090
So slow.
12:13.090 --> 12:15.980
No, the monster would...
12:20.770 --> 12:21.510
Bachira!
12:21.510 --> 12:22.200
Pass it!
12:22.200 --> 12:24.550
You can't beat the monster like that.
12:27.280 --> 12:30.100
Hey, what are you doing?
You held onto it too long!
12:30.100 --> 12:32.030
Stop ball-hogging!
12:42.800 --> 12:44.190
A "monster"?
12:47.360 --> 12:48.820
What do you mean?
12:49.190 --> 12:52.410
When I'm playing soccer,
the monster comes out and talks to me.
12:53.030 --> 12:54.450
"Score a goal."
12:54.450 --> 12:55.790
"Weave about more."
13:02.210 --> 13:07.680
But in that moment, the monster
said to me: "Pass the ball to Isagi."
13:08.020 --> 13:10.300
"There's a monster inside him too," it said.
13:12.540 --> 13:13.930
A monster?
13:14.230 --> 13:18.730
When I play, I listen to its voice.
That's all there is to it.
13:19.210 --> 13:21.270
You hear it too, right?
The monster's voice.
13:22.160 --> 13:24.050
What the heck is he talking about?
13:24.700 --> 13:29.570
Though, when I kicked the ball...
In that moment, I didn't recognize myself.
13:30.770 --> 13:34.690
I want to know what this
"monster" inside me is.
13:34.690 --> 13:39.080
Maybe finding that out will give me
a clue on how to survive Blue Lock.
13:39.970 --> 13:43.590
Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Noel Noa...
13:43.590 --> 13:46.940
All amazing players have
monsters inside of them.
13:46.940 --> 13:49.890
It must be what proves you're a striker.
13:49.890 --> 13:51.600
That's what I believe.
13:53.520 --> 13:54.910
So Isagi...
13:58.190 --> 14:01.440
I'm glad I came here
because I got to meet you.
14:04.400 --> 14:05.860
'Kay, let's try it again.
14:05.860 --> 14:06.870
Sure.
14:07.570 --> 14:11.240
What's wrong with this guy?
He's talking nonsense.
14:12.250 --> 14:12.950
But...
14:13.320 --> 14:14.410
Come at me.
14:14.720 --> 14:16.290
He gives me...
14:18.820 --> 14:20.120
...courage.
14:22.500 --> 14:25.670
Yeah, that's it! That's how
your eyes looked at the time.
14:25.670 --> 14:27.730
I'm going to survive this.
14:29.380 --> 14:32.140
The results of the fitness
tests have been assessed.
14:32.140 --> 14:36.540
Please return to your rooms
and confirm the latest rankings.
14:39.710 --> 14:40.390
Tch.
14:40.390 --> 14:41.980
Hey, Gagamaru.
14:41.980 --> 14:45.750
What rank are you? Tell me!
14:42.810 --> 14:44.090
Hey, Isagi.
14:44.090 --> 14:45.340
Look at this.
14:45.340 --> 14:48.090
I shot way up from my old rank of 300.
14:48.090 --> 14:49.690
See? I'm at 275 now.
14:49.690 --> 14:51.400
What? That's amazing.
14:51.400 --> 14:53.410
Oh, you did, too. Look.
14:54.470 --> 14:55.160
Whoa.
14:55.370 --> 14:57.570
You're still one above me?
14:57.570 --> 14:59.350
You're my rival, huh?
14:59.350 --> 15:00.500
Well, well.
15:00.500 --> 15:03.690
Hello there, diamonds in the rough.
15:03.690 --> 15:06.710
How are you enjoying life at Blue Lock?
15:06.930 --> 15:08.320
Cut the crap!
15:08.320 --> 15:12.180
Do you really expect us to improve
in this crummy environment?!
15:12.180 --> 15:15.680
Yeah, what he said. I want better food.
15:16.140 --> 15:21.500
The environment's crummy because
your soccer skills are crummy, duh. Idiots.
15:21.500 --> 15:22.230
What?
15:22.510 --> 15:25.300
Let's talk a little bit about Blue Lock.
15:25.870 --> 15:29.650
In this facility, a total of
25 teams from B down to Z
15:29.650 --> 15:33.410
are split into five groups, one per building.
15:30.320 --> 15:34.450
1
15:30.320 --> 15:34.450
1
15:30.320 --> 15:34.450
2
15:30.320 --> 15:34.450
2
15:30.320 --> 15:34.450
3
15:30.320 --> 15:34.450
3
15:30.320 --> 15:34.450
4
15:30.320 --> 15:34.450
4
15:30.320 --> 15:34.450
5
15:30.320 --> 15:34.450
5
15:33.410 --> 15:34.450
Oh, and by the way...
15:35.570 --> 15:41.540
Each team lost one person after the
game of tag, so there are 275 players left.
15:38.990 --> 15:41.540
Buildings
15:38.990 --> 15:41.540
Buildings
15:39.040 --> 15:41.540
Guys
15:39.040 --> 15:41.540
Guys
15:41.540 --> 15:44.640
What? So I'm still dead last?
15:44.640 --> 15:46.330
I was happy for nothing!
15:46.330 --> 15:48.360
Your rank decides your team.
15:48.360 --> 15:52.670
Ranks 1 through 11 are in Team B,
ranks 12 through 22 are in C...
15:52.670 --> 15:57.300
In short, you Team Z guys are
the lowest-ranked in Building 5.
15:54.470 --> 15:54.510
5
15:54.510 --> 15:54.550
5
15:54.550 --> 15:54.590
5
15:54.590 --> 15:54.630
1
15:54.590 --> 15:55.760
5
15:54.680 --> 15:54.720
2
15:54.680 --> 15:55.890
1
15:54.760 --> 15:54.800
3
15:54.760 --> 15:55.890
2
15:54.840 --> 15:54.880
4
15:54.840 --> 15:55.890
3
15:54.930 --> 15:55.890
4
15:55.760 --> 15:55.930
5
15:55.930 --> 15:57.300
5
15:57.640 --> 16:00.330
These guys are in the lowest group?
16:00.330 --> 16:03.100
Tsk. Don't lump me in with these losers.
16:03.100 --> 16:03.780
What?!
16:03.780 --> 16:05.150
Who you callin' "losers"?
16:05.150 --> 16:07.190
Hey now, let's calm down.
16:07.560 --> 16:12.900
Higher-ranked players eat gourmet food
and get to train in better buildings.
16:13.460 --> 16:16.460
In here, the best soccer player is king.
16:16.460 --> 16:19.120
If you want a better environment,
win your way up.
16:19.840 --> 16:21.370
All righty, then.
16:22.440 --> 16:25.080
Let us begin the first selection.
16:22.580 --> 16:25.080
5
16:22.580 --> 16:25.080
5
16:28.960 --> 16:30.050
Itoshi Sae-kun.
16:30.050 --> 16:34.880
Editor-in-Chief
16:30.050 --> 16:34.880
Nihei Shusaku
16:30.510 --> 16:37.670
You were a genius midfielder in the academy
of one of the world's top clubs, Royale.
16:37.670 --> 16:42.390
But regulations stopped you from playing
in the first team, so you returned to Japan.
16:42.390 --> 16:47.600
Does this mean we'll get to see
you play in the domestic league?
16:48.000 --> 16:49.910
Over my dead body.
16:49.910 --> 16:55.530
If I have to play in a country like this,
I'd rather play with college kids in Germany.
16:55.990 --> 16:58.450
New Generation
One of the World's 11 Heroes
16:58.450 --> 16:59.780
So, uh...
16:59.780 --> 17:04.660
Do you have dreams of representing your
country at the international level in the future?
17:04.660 --> 17:06.660
None whatsoever.
17:06.660 --> 17:11.430
The national team of a weak country like this
one will never be the greatest in the world.
17:11.430 --> 17:14.880
My dream is to win the Champions League.
17:15.200 --> 17:19.110
There isn't a forward in this country
who's good enough for my passes.
17:19.110 --> 17:21.600
I was born in the wrong country.
17:23.360 --> 17:24.190
Hey...
17:27.140 --> 17:28.730
Gimme a break.
17:29.040 --> 17:33.250
This won't do, Sae-chan!
The media's going to hate you.
17:33.250 --> 17:38.060
So? This country doesn't matter to me.
I only came back 'cause my passport expired.
17:38.060 --> 17:40.140
I know that, but...
17:43.240 --> 17:45.200
JFU Japan Football Union Press Conference
17:45.530 --> 17:49.750
Oh yeah, I heard the JFU was
holding a press conference today.
17:50.640 --> 17:57.350
So that's how we plan to train up a striker
who can lead Japan to a World Cup win.
17:52.710 --> 17:55.710
JFU Japan Football Union Press Conference
17:57.350 --> 18:00.300
Through this Blue Lock project.
18:01.220 --> 18:07.060
Even if you do produce a top striker, how can
you guarantee Japan will win the World Cup?
18:07.290 --> 18:12.630
Are you saying it's okay to ruin the lives
of 299 people just for one person's sake?
18:12.630 --> 18:14.190
Didn't their parents object?
18:14.190 --> 18:15.890
Well, uh, that's...
18:15.890 --> 18:19.370
We respect the opinions
of the players themselves.
18:19.370 --> 18:22.640
And their parents have
signed consent forms...
18:22.640 --> 18:24.280
"Ruin the lives of..."?
18:24.870 --> 18:26.500
Exactly!
18:26.500 --> 18:31.670
For Japanese soccer to move forward,
we need this crazy project!
18:36.340 --> 18:38.240
Don't you all want to see it?
18:38.720 --> 18:42.680
The moment this hero of
Japanese soccer is born.
18:43.680 --> 18:47.450
The first selection will involve
the 55 of you in Building 5.
18:45.560 --> 18:47.430
5
18:47.450 --> 18:50.190
It's a kind of five-team round robin.
18:50.580 --> 18:55.150
Only the top two teams will move on to the
second selection in this survival match.
18:55.700 --> 19:00.610
So the eleven of us on Team Z
will play as a proper team?
19:00.610 --> 19:02.320
We're all forwards though.
19:02.690 --> 19:05.450
Why don't you be the goalie?
You have the face of one.
19:05.830 --> 19:08.580
Don't. I can't say no when
people ask me to do something.
19:08.580 --> 19:10.630
Then, I'll play center forward.
19:10.630 --> 19:11.730
Huh? No, I will.
19:11.730 --> 19:12.840
No, me.
19:12.840 --> 19:14.580
No, me! I will!
19:12.840 --> 19:14.580
Igaguri, you can be in defense.
19:14.580 --> 19:15.540
What?!
19:15.820 --> 19:20.380
A team made up of eleven
forwards? That's crazy talk.
19:20.700 --> 19:21.790
Listen up.
19:21.790 --> 19:24.590
Soccer was originally
a sport all about scoring.
19:25.100 --> 19:29.760
You've been stupidly imprinted with
the notions of positioning and tactics,
19:29.760 --> 19:33.760
but all of those roles
only evolved over time.
19:33.760 --> 19:38.150
Soccer initially started out
with every player being a striker.
19:38.630 --> 19:40.990
So play soccer as it was originally.
19:40.990 --> 19:43.950
Create soccer from
zero with your brains.
19:44.370 --> 19:47.410
"Create soccer from zero"?
19:47.770 --> 19:51.540
Japanese soccer has improved at an
incredible rate in the last quarter-century,
19:51.540 --> 19:54.230
even compared to the world standard.
19:54.580 --> 19:58.660
Just one more step, and we'll be
on par with the world's top teams.
19:58.660 --> 20:01.630
Soccer fans around the world
can see that happening.
20:01.630 --> 20:03.720
That's how much Japan has improved.
20:03.970 --> 20:09.180
But to take that extra step, it's time for current Japanese soccer to die.
20:09.710 --> 20:15.650
The dream of simply playing in the
World Cup has served its purpose.
20:15.650 --> 20:19.860
So now is the time to dream a
new dream for Japanese soccer.
20:20.120 --> 20:23.500
Abandon what you've believed
to be common sense until now.
20:23.500 --> 20:26.110
Shove new notions into your brains.
20:26.110 --> 20:30.240
What we really need right now for
Japan to become the best in the world
20:30.240 --> 20:32.700
isn't the teamwork of eleven players.
20:33.940 --> 20:36.620
What we need is one hero.
20:37.500 --> 20:40.850
Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar...
20:40.850 --> 20:45.010
Soccer can evolve endlessly
if a hero like that exists.
20:45.010 --> 20:48.310
To stop him, new defensive
systems are created.
20:48.310 --> 20:51.720
To top him, new tactics are born.
20:52.040 --> 20:56.260
One person's play can change
a team, a country, even the world.
20:56.260 --> 20:59.110
That's the kind of sport soccer is.
20:59.110 --> 21:02.230
This is a new stage for Japanese soccer.
21:02.760 --> 21:06.150
The main characters are not us adults,
who have forgotten how to dream,
21:06.150 --> 21:08.390
but these youngsters,
who are still nobodies.
21:08.880 --> 21:13.330
Do you have the courage to dream a
new dream of winning the World Cup?
21:13.650 --> 21:16.120
Are you ready to fight?
21:16.120 --> 21:17.540
It's all there...
21:19.660 --> 21:21.880
In Blue Lock!
21:19.660 --> 21:21.880
In Blue Lock!
21:21.880 --> 21:23.500
This press conference is over.
21:21.880 --> 21:24.840
JFU Japan Football Union Press Conference
21:24.840 --> 21:25.970
What bullshit!
21:25.970 --> 21:27.680
Is this how you treat young talent?!
21:27.680 --> 21:29.230
JFU's gone crazy!
21:29.230 --> 21:32.980
Sae-chan, we'd better get going.
The flight back to Spain is—
21:32.980 --> 21:33.980
Cancel it.
21:33.980 --> 21:34.810
What?
21:35.390 --> 21:40.990
I want to see what kind of idiot's going to
be born in this country with my own eyes.
22:16.600 --> 22:18.390
Here they come. Team X.
22:25.560 --> 22:28.130
I'll be the one who survives!
23:14.580 --> 23:15.250

23:18.400 --> 23:20.260
That's extra training done with.
23:20.260 --> 23:23.080
Whew, I'm beat.
23:24.130 --> 23:27.040
Wait, which one was our room again?
23:27.040 --> 23:29.650
If we try every door,
we'll find it eventually.
23:29.650 --> 23:32.300
No, that's the changing room
and bathroom, Bachira.
23:32.300 --> 23:32.960
Huh?
23:33.240 --> 23:33.800
Huh?
23:34.050 --> 23:35.390
Huh?
23:35.390 --> 23:38.620
Blue Lock's so huge, it's like a maze.
23:38.620 --> 23:42.440
The map says it's over here...
23:42.690 --> 23:44.010
It's this way, Bachira.
23:43.080 --> 23:45.440
Well? Well? Well, well, well?
23:45.100 --> 23:46.900
I told you that's the bathroom!
23:47.250 --> 23:51.410
The monster inside me is saying,
"I can't hold it anymore."
23:51.410 --> 23:53.460
Then just go already, idiot!
