*Someone once said:*
**[00:21] Ego/I**
*"In the world of soccer,"*
**[00:22] Ego/I**
* "you can train first-rate goalkeepers,*
* defenders, and midfielders,"*
**[00:28] Ego/I**
*"but strikers are different."*
**[00:31] Ego/I**
* "A first-rate striker will find*
* where the soccer is most intense..."*
**[00:37] Ego/I**
*"and suddenly appear there."*

**[02:24] Anri**
Let me be blunt.
**[02:25] Anri**
If things carry on the way they are,
**[02:28] Anri**
Japan will *never* win the
World Cup. Not in a million years.

Special Adviser
**[02:37] Buratsuta**
We're making plenty of dough, so what do
we care? After all, soccer's a business.
**[02:42] Buratsuta**
Anri-chan, surely you don't *really* believe
Japan has a chance of winning the World Cup?
**[02:50] Anri**
Of course I do, you money-grubbing rodent.
**[02:53] Anri**
It's my goddamn dream!
**[02:55] Anri**
"If we just play our soccer, we can win"?
**[02:58] Anri**
"Japan's possession soccer is
good enough for the world stage"?
**[03:01] Anri**
That kind of thinking is *exactly* why
we never make it past the last 16!
**[03:06] Buratsura**
Well, you came up with this idea,
laid the groundwork, and put it all in motion.
**[03:12] Buratsura**
So if it doesn't work out,
I know whose head will roll.
**[03:16] Anri**
I truly believe the only person
who can break down Japanese soccer
**[03:20] Anri**
and forge a player who can lead
this country to a World Cup win...
**[03:25] Anri**
is this man right here!
**[03:28] Anri**
Ego Jinpachi.
**[03:35] Kira**
Isagi-kun?
**[03:37] Kira**
What are you doing?
**[03:40] Kira**
Wait, what is this? What just happened?
**[03:44] Isagi**
I'm sorry. It's just...
The ball came at me out of nowhere and...
**[03:48] Kira**
Huh? Don't give me—
**[03:52] Ego**
Diamonds in the rough,
only results matter here.
**[03:56] Ego**
Losers lock off.
**[03:59] Ego**
Kira Ryosuke, you are disqualified.
**[04:10] Kira**
This is bullshit.
**[04:12] Kira**
How is it possible for
my future career to lie in tatters...
**[04:18] Kira**
all because of some stupid *game*?!
**[04:21] Kira**
I'm Japanese soccer's jewel in the crown!
**[04:23] Kira**
You telling me Igaguri and Isagi-kun
are more talented than *me*?! Huh?!
**[04:27] Kira**
Why does this silly game
of tag even *matter*?!
**[04:30] Kira**
What does it have to do with soccer?!
**[04:33] Ego**
In Blue Lock, everything has
something to do with soccer.
**[04:37] Ego**
Look around you, Mr. Mediocre Elite.
**[04:40] Ego**
The room you are in...
**[04:44] Ego**
is the same size as the penalty area.
**[04:47] Ego**
Roughly 75% of all goals are
born within these confines.
**[04:52] Ego**
If you can't do your work in this space,
you have no talent as a striker.
**[04:57] Kira**
S-So... So what?
**[04:59] Kira**
Tag is nothing like soccer!
**[05:01] Ego**
If you're the one running away,
**[05:04] Ego**
you need a keen sense of interpersonal
space, tactics, and positioning.
**[05:07] Ego**
If you're the one doing the chasing,
**[05:09] Ego**
your dribbling and aim must be precise,
and the quality of your kicks must be high.
**[05:14] Ego**
That makes it an excellent
soccer training drill, wimp.
**[05:18] Kira**
Even so, how can you know *anything*
about me in just two minutes?
**[05:22] Kira**
A soccer match is 90 minutes!
**[05:25] Ego**
On average, the total amount of time any
player spends on the ball in a 90-minute game
**[05:29] Ego**
is about 136 seconds.
**[05:31] Ego**
You wasted the chance that was
afforded to all of you equally.
**[05:35] Kira**
B-But nothing could be done
in those last ten seconds—
**[05:38] Ego**
Would you say the same
thing if this was a match?
**[05:42] Ego**
When the ball hit you, there was
still one second left on the clock.
**[05:47] Ego**
You could've survived if you'd blasted it at
the immobile Igaguri. But you didn't see it.
**[05:53] Ego**
In a way, it was the last play
right before the final whistle.
**[05:56] Ego**
The moment your teammate's shot hit you,
you gave up and accepted defeat.
**[06:03] Ego**
That's why you didn't see it.
**[06:06] Ego**
You missed your chance at victory
by not taking that extra step.
**[06:12] Ego**
Whoever is "it" in this game of tag might be the
loser if he holds onto the ball for too long.
**[06:17] Ego**
But he might also be the winner, as only
he has the power to choose who is hit next.
**[06:22] Ego**
A striker shoulders that responsibility
and fights until the very last second.
**[06:29] Ego**
Isagi Yoichi targeted someone ranked
higher than him, not the fallen Igaguri.
**[06:34] Ego**
Bachira Meguru stole the ball off him
and went after the strongest guy.
**[06:39] Ego**
That's a selfish obsession with victory that
isn't affected by the group's common sense.
**[06:46] Ego**
That's the egoism of the
striker that I'm looking for.
**[06:50] Ego**
You lost because you ran away from it.
**[06:53] Ego**
Kira Ryosuke, lock off.
**[06:56] Kira**
But... B-But he came at me...
**[06:59] Kira**
Bachira came outta nowhere...
**[07:03] Kira**
Bachira came at me outta *nowhere*!
**[07:08] Isagi**
Kira-kun...
**[07:13] Kira**
This isn't right.
**[07:15] Kira**
It... can't be.
**[07:24] Isagi/I**
* Why did I kick it? Did I just*
* end Kira-kun's soccer career?*
**[07:30] Isagi/I**
*Then why...*
**[07:34] Isagi/I**
*Why am I so pumped up?*
**[07:38] Isagi/I**
*That guy...*
**[07:41] Isagi**
Why did you pass it to me?
**[07:43] Isagi**
If I hadn't kicked it, you would've lost.
**[07:46] Bachira**
Hm? Because I knew you'd kick it.
It was written on your face.
**[07:51] Isagi**
Huh?
**[07:52] Bachira**
"Only results matter here," right?
**[07:54] Bachira**
So I believed in you, and I won, right?
**[07:58] Isagi/I**
*This guy's totally crazy.*
**[08:01] Igarashi**
Is this ridiculousness going to continue?
**[08:05] Ego**
"Ridiculousness"?
**[08:06] Ego**
You're right. That's the world of "win or lose."
**[08:10] Ego**
Those world-class strikers
you so casually adore
**[08:14] Ego**
put their lives on the line
like this every day.
**[08:17] Ego**
How does it feel to fight for
your career for the first time?
**[08:22] Ego**
Does it scare you? Does it excite you?
**[08:25] Ego**
This is normal in Blue Lock.
**[08:27] Ego**
Are you shaken up? Did it make
you go, "All right! I survived!"?
**[08:32] Ego**
That's what victory feels like.
**[08:34] Ego**
Etch that into your brain.
**[08:38] Ego**
Every time you get a taste of that
pleasant sensation, your ego grows.
**[08:42] Ego**
And that will elevate you to the
height of world's greatest striker.
**[08:54] Ego**
Congratulations. You have passed the
admission exam for the Blue Lock dorm.
**[09:00] Naruhaya/Igarashi/Imamura**
All right!
**[09:02] Ego**
There are eleven of you in this room.
**[09:04] Ego**
You eleven will be living together.
**[09:08] Ego**
At times, you'll work together.
Other times, you'll betray each other.
**[09:11] Ego**
You will be rivals who
wreck each other's dreams.

Hm?
**[11:37] Isagi**
When we played tag,
you passed the ball to me.
**[11:42] Bachira**
Yup.
**[11:43] Isagi**
Why did you think I'd aim for Kira-kun?
**[11:47] Bachira**
Well... I guess it's because...
**[11:52] Bachira**
There's a monster inside of me.

*You can't beat the monster like that.*
**[12:27] Player A**
Hey, what are you doing?
You held onto it too long!
**[12:30] Player B**
Stop ball-hogging!
**[12:42] Isagi**
A "monster"?
**[12:47] Isagi**
What do you mean?
**[12:49] Bachira**
When I'm playing soccer,
the monster comes out and talks to me.
**[12:52] Bachira**
"Score a goal."
**[12:54] Bachira**
"Weave about more."
**[13:02] Bachira**
But in that moment, the monster
said to me: "Pass the ball to Isagi."
**[13:07] Bachira**
"There's a monster inside him too," it said.
**[13:12] Isagi**
A monster?
**[13:14] Bachira**
When I play, I listen to its voice.
That's all there is to it.
**[13:19] Bachira**
You hear it too, right?
The monster's voice.
**[13:22] Isagi/I**
*What the heck is he talking about?*
**[13:24] Isagi/I**
* Though, when I kicked the ball...*
* In that moment, I didn't recognize myself.*
**[13:30] Isagi/I**
* I want to know what this*
* "monster" inside me is.*
**[13:34] Isagi/I**
* Maybe finding that out will give me*
* a clue on how to survive Blue Lock.*
**[13:39] Bachira**
Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Noel Noa...
**[13:43] Bachira**
All amazing players have
monsters inside of them.
**[13:46] Bachira**
It must be what proves you're a striker.
**[13:49] Bachira**
That's what I believe.
**[13:53] Bachira**
So Isagi...
**[13:58] Bachira**
I'm glad I came here
because I got to meet you.
**[14:04] Bachira**
'Kay, let's try it again.
**[14:05] Isagi**
Sure.
**[14:07] Isagi/I**
* What's wrong with this guy?*
* He's talking nonsense.*
**[14:12] Isagi/I**
*But...*
**[14:13] Bachira**
Come at me.
**[14:14] Isagi/I**
*He gives me...*
**[14:18] Isagi/I**
*...courage.*
**[14:22] Bachira**
Yeah, that's it! That's how

**[14:25] Isagi/I**
*I'm going to survive this.*

Hey, Isagi.
**[14:44] Igarashi**
Look at this.
**[14:45] Igarashi**
I shot way up from my old rank of 300.
**[14:48] Igarashi**
See? I'm at 275 now.
**[14:49] Isagi**
What? That's amazing.
**[14:51] Igarashi**
Oh, you did, too. Look.
**[14:54] Isagi**
Whoa.

Hello there, diamonds in the rough.

How are you enjoying life at Blue Lock?

Cut the crap!
**[15:08] Raichi**
Do you really expect us to improve
in this crummy environment?!
**[15:12] Naruhaya**
Yeah, what he said. I want better food.
**[15:16] Ego**
The environment's crummy because
your soccer skills are crummy, duh. Idiots.
**[15:21] Raichi**
What?
**[15:22] Ego**
Let's talk a little bit about Blue Lock.
**[15:25] Ego**

win your way up.

You were a genius midfielder in the academy
of one of the world's top clubs, Royale.
**[16:37] Nihei**
But regulations stopped you from playing
in the first team, so you returned to Japan.
**[16:42] Nihei**
Does this mean we'll get to see
you play in the domestic league?
**[16:47] Sae**
Over my dead body.
**[16:49] Sae**
If I have to play in a country like this,
I'd rather play with college kids in Germany.

**[17:04] Sae**
None whatsoever.
**[17:06] Sae**
The national team of a weak country like this
one will never be the greatest in the world.
**[17:11] Sae**
My dream is to win the Champions League.
**[17:15] Sae**
There isn't a forward in this country
who's good enough for my passes.
**[17:19] Sae**
I was born in the wrong country.
**[17:23] Dabadie**
Hey...
**[17:27] Dabadie**
Gimme a break.
**[17:29] Dabadie**
This won't do, Sae-chan!
The media's going to hate you.
**[17:33] Sae**
So? This country doesn't matter to me.
I only came back 'cause my passport expired.

**[18:01] Reporter A**
Even if you do produce a top striker, how can
you guarantee Japan will win the World Cup?
**[18:07] Reporter B**
Are you saying it's okay to ruin the lives
of 299 people just for one person's sake?
**[18:12] Reporter B**
Didn't their parents object?
**[18:14] Buratsuta**
Well, uh, that's...
**[18:15] Buratsuta**
We respect the opinions
of the players themselves.
**[18:19] Buratsuta**
And their parents have
signed consent forms...
**[18:22] Anri**
"Ruin the lives of..."?
**[18:24] Anri**
Exactly!
**[18:26] Anri**
For Japanese soccer to move forward,
we need this crazy project!
**[18:36] Anri**
Don't you all want to see it?
**[18:38] Anri**
The moment this hero of
Japanese soccer is born.
**[18:43] Ego**
The first selection will involve
the 55 of you in Building 5.

**[18:47] Ego**
It's a kind of five-team round robin.
**[18:50] Ego**
Only the top two teams will move on to the
second selection in this survival match.
**[18:55] Chigiri**
So the eleven of us on Team Z
will play as a proper team?
**[19:00] Chigiri**
We're all forwards though.
**[19:02] Imamura**
Why don't you be the goalie?
You have the face of one.
**[19:05] Iemon**
Don't. I can't say no when
people ask me to do something.
**[19:08] Raichi**
Then, I'll play center forward.
**[19:10] Kunigami**
Huh? No, I will.
**[19:11] Gagamaru**
No, me.
**[19:12] Raichi**
No, me! I will!
**[19:12] Naruhaya**
Igaguri, you can be in defense.
**[19:14] Igarashi**
What?!
**[19:15] Isagi/I**
* A team made up of eleven*
* forwards? That's crazy talk.*
**[19:20] Ego**
Listen up.
**[19:21] Ego**
Soccer was originally
a sport all about scoring.
**[19:25] Ego**
You've been stupidly imprinted with
the notions of positioning and tactics,
**[19:29] Ego**
but all of those roles
only evolved over time.
**[19:33] Ego**
Soccer initially started out
with *every* player being a striker.
**[19:38] Ego**
So play soccer as it was originally.
**[19:40] Ego**
Create soccer from
zero with your brains.
**[19:44] Isagi/I**
*"Create soccer from zero"?*
**[19:47] Anri**
Japanese soccer has improved at an
incredible rate in the last quarter-century,
**[19:51] Anri**
even compared to the world standard.
**[19:54] Anri**
Just one more step, and we'll be
on par with the world's top teams.
**[19:58] Anri**
Soccer fans around the world
can see that happening.
**[20:01] Anri**
That's how much Japan has improved.
**[20:03] Anri**
But to take that extra step, it's time for current Japanese soccer to die.
**[20:09] Anri**
The dream of simply playing in the
World Cup has served its purpose.
**[20:15] Anri**
So now is the time to dream a
new dream for Japanese soccer.
**[20:20] Ego**
Abandon what you've believed
to be common sense until now.
**[20:23] Ego**
Shove new notions into your brains.
**[20:26] Ego**
What we really need right now for
Japan to become the best in the world
**[20:30] Ego**
isn't the teamwork of eleven players.
**[20:33] Ego**
What we need is one hero.
**[20:37] Ego**
Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar...
**[20:40] Ego**
Soccer can evolve endlessly
if a hero like that exists.
**[20:44] Ego**
To stop him, new defensive
systems are created.
**[20:48] Ego**
To top him, new tactics are born.
**[20:52] Ego**
One person's play can change
a team, a country, even the world.
**[20:56] Ego**
That's the kind of sport soccer is.
**[20:59] Anri**
This is a new stage for Japanese soccer.
**[21:02] Anri**
The main characters are not us adults,
who have forgotten how to dream,
**[21:06] Anri**
but these youngsters,
who are still nobodies.
**[21:08] Anri**
Do you have the courage to dream a
new dream of winning the World Cup?
**[21:13] Ego**
Are you ready to fight?
**[21:16] Anri**
It's all there...
**[21:19] Ego**
In Blue Lock!
**[21:19] Arni**
In Blue Lock!
