Dragon Ball DAIMA

BLUE LOCK

With Japan’s determination to win World Cup glory, the Japanese Football Association launches Blue Lock, an intense training program designed to identify the national team’s next member. Out of three hundred high school players entering the competition, only one can claim the spot. Now that there’s just 35 players left, the program is at risk of being eliminated from Japan’s U-20 National Team. Competitive rivals must set aside their egos and team up in order to defeat the national youth team before their collective goal becomes out of reach.
