We have got to see a lot of anime shows dealing with magic, dragons, demons, delinquents, and whatnot. But when it comes to sports, the list is not that long especially when it comes to football.
And then comes Blue Lock in the picture, an anime that changed the whole scenario by raising the bar. In Blue Lock we got to see some of the best characters but given the screen time that all the characters have it gets a little complex to pinpoint which one is the lead. Here we are today to answer that along with giving you a deep dive into the story of our protagonist.
Blue Lock lead who is meant to rule the world of football
The simple answer to the same is that the protagonist is Yoichi Isagi . As for those who don't know his background, Isagi was traumatized due to his decision in the final match of his school team - instead of taking the shot, he passed the ball to another player who failed to convert the shot.
This came as a major heartbreak for Isagi. But, the moment he joined the Blue Lock facility changed everything for him. Here he met Ego Jinpachi who made him realize that ego is the most important thing on the football field.
In the second season of Blue Lock, we got to see Isagi's awakening and winning the tournament against Japan's national team. Now the road ahead of the character is not a very easy one. And now the future awaits him where he will participate in the Neo Egoist League . Here, Isagi joins the Bastard Munchen Club (football fans already know it's the rip-off of Bayern Munich football club).
And the manager he gets here, Noel Noa, is the best striker in the world. In the events of the Neo Egoist League, the development and improvement of Isagi skyrocket along with a complete mentality shift which you will witness firsthand when the arc gets animated.
