The second season of Blue Lock is set to deliver high-stakes action as it focuses on the intense face-off between the Blue Lock team and Japan’s U-20 national soccer team. This season will explore how the match will impact the future of the Blue Lock project, with the outcome determining its survival. Fans can expect fresh faces in the team, with the introduction of characters like Yo Hiori, Nijiro Nanase, Oliver Aiku, and Shūto Sendō. The intense competition among players to rise as Japan’s top striker remains at the core of the story.
Alongside the exciting storyline, the anime also promises a strong musical element. The ending theme song “One” by Snow Man and the opening theme “Bōjaku no Charisma” by Unison Square Garden were both featured in the recently released trailer, offering fans a glimpse of what’s to come. These themes are expected to enhance the drama and tension of the matches, fitting well with the energetic atmosphere of Blue Lock.
The Blue Lock Season 2 trailer introduces several elements. One highlight is the reveal of Aiku’s voice, with the chosen actor perfectly fitting the character’s demeanor. A noticeable shift in the art style is also evident, with sharper and more defined visuals compared to Season 1. The character designs, particularly for Isagi and Bachira, now reflect a more age-appropriate appearance. However, the trailer features a significant number of still frames, which raises concerns about the animation quality and its potential impact on the overall viewing experience.
The trailer offers a darker lighting and color palette, suggesting a more serious and intense tone for the upcoming season. While action scenes are sparse, this could be a deliberate move to avoid revealing key moments from the highly anticipated U-20 arc, which promises intense matchups and critical developments. Season 2 is set to deliver strong performances, with the voice acting, music, and atmosphere expected to match or exceed the quality of the previous season.
The second season will consist of 14 episodes and air in the IM Animation block on TV Asahi, starting on October 5, 2024. Fans worldwide can stream the anime on Crunchyroll, ensuring broad access to this much-anticipated season.
