The highly anticipated soccer anime Blue Lock is making its return with a second season, and fans have two major updates to look forward to: the release date and the name of the upcoming arc.
As we gear up for the new season, all eyes are on Isagi as he prepares to take on Japan’s U-20 team. This season promises to be an exciting continuation of Muneyuki Kaneshiro and Yusuke Nomura’s popular manga, and fans will be eager to see how Isagi and his teammates navigate the intense challenges ahead.
Season 2 of Blue Lock will kick off on October 5, 2024, with new episodes dropping weekly. This release date was announced back in May 2024, accompanied by a stunning illustration of Isagi by the manga artist Yusuke Nomura, which has only heightened the anticipation.
In the first season, we saw the players pushed to their limits in various matches, ultimately leading to the formation of an eleven-man Blue Lock team set to face off against Japan’s U-20 squad. The stakes are high, as the winning side will represent Japan’s U-20 team, shaping the future of Japanese football.
If you missed the Blue Lock movie, Episode Nagi, don’t worry—it’s a prequel to the main series. While it adds depth and context to the story, it’s not essential viewing before diving into season 2.
The first trailer for Blue Lock season 2 debuted at the 2024 Anime Expo. Though it doesn’t feature clips from the new season, it teases fans with a quick glimpse of the squad members, each delivering a line that encapsulates their personality.
You can catch all the action of Blue Lock season 2 on Crunchyroll starting this October, available for both Premium and ad-supported members.
