[Blue Lock] Life-changing quotes. Fiery words from characters who set your heart ablaze (1–10)
Even in despair, the power to “make dreams come true” dwells in those who still choose to fight.NEW!Jinhachi the Artistically Gifted

The story kicks off as the ace-caliber players from across the country are gathered into the team.
Players brimming with talent don’t lose often, so when they do, they tend to get totally deflated—like, “thud.” This line is what Teruei Barou says after losing to the protagonist, Isagi Yoichi.
It’s a phrase from a longer monologue where Jinpachi lays out his own theory about what it means to “lose.” He delivers it while casually eating cup yakisoba, which oddly gives the words an extra sense of conviction.
It’s a fantastic scene and line—highly recommended if you haven’t seen it!
A so-called do-or-die moment isn’t a time to get scared—it’s a stage to get excited!NEW!Bachira Meguru

Bachira Meguru’s cool lines sometimes outshine even the protagonist’s—and of course he has plenty of fans.
With his outstanding ball technique and unpredictable play, he’s definitely one player you never want as an opponent.
There’s also that great mysterious touch: inside Bachira’s heart resides a being he calls the “monster,” and he moves according to what that “monster” says.
When you go blank during a test or make a big mistake at work—situations where you’re in a pinch—rather than fearing them, he treats them as opportunities.
That positive mindset is something we should learn from Bachira!
I will lead Japan to win the U-20 World Cup.NEW!Yoichi Isagi

At first, the protagonist Yoichi Isagi lacked confidence in himself, but inside Blue Lock he awakened to his spatial awareness.
As he advanced through the selections and honed that talent, the U-20 Japan match arrived.
In that game, Isagi scored a direct shot that became the decisive blow for victory.
And in the subsequent hero interview, he declared these words.
It was the moment when someone who had considered himself ordinary compared to the other members stood on the side of the geniuses.
His confidence was incredibly cool to see!
[Blue Lock] Life-Changing Quotes: Fiery Words from Characters That Ignite the Soul (11–20)
It’s a fight to the death. That’s what soccer is to me.NEW!Rin Itoshi

Rin Itoshi, who has the world-class player Sae Itoshi as his older brother, is known as a top-ranked contender in Blue Lock.
Fueled by anger and hatred stemming from his rift with his brother, he continues to play soccer with the goal of defeating him.
These famous words were addressed to the protagonist, Isagi, and the others.
To him, losing in soccer is synonymous with death—you can feel how fierce his resolve is.
For someone like Itoshi, who stakes his life on every match, words like “dream” or “life” must have sounded unbearably lukewarm.
I want to win with my goal!NEW!Yoichi Isagi

Yoichi Isagi has a past where, in the final match of the national tournament during his second year of high school, he chose to pass to a teammate instead of going for goal himself, leading to defeat.
When he was first called to Blue Lock, his lack of confidence was also apparent in the entrance test, where he targeted opponents weaker than himself.
Realizing he wouldn’t change that way, he chose to confront stronger players.
In doing so, he awakened his spatial awareness—his primary weapon—and began constructing his own personal formula for scoring goals.
This quote expresses a powerful will that lays bare the egoist—the central concept of the story—and can be seen as Isagi’s vow to break with his formerly weak self.
I don’t care about the past! What I want to see is your “now”!NEW!Yoichi Isagi
A passionate line directed at his teammate, Hyoma Chigiri.
Yoichi, who pushed Chigiri forward when he was trapped by the trauma of his knee injury and couldn’t give his all—this might be the coolest scene in the first half of the story.
Even though everyone is a rival, they’re also teammates; in such a complicated situation, Yoichi can still be considerate of others—truly a main character.
No matter what happened in the past, what matters is the “now.” Even when we understand that, it’s hard to take the leap, isn’t it? I think it’s a great quote that can have a positive impact on your life, too!
You can’t become the world’s best striker unless you’re the world’s biggest egotist.NEW!Jinhachi the Artistically Gifted
@haruto133.1212♪ Original song – Kinoko koegawari – Directed together with Macchan
If you like Blue Lock, you probably like soccer too.
Let’s step away from the manga and talk a bit about the sport itself.
How many years has it been now that people keep saying, “The Japan national team lacks finishing ability”? No matter how great the teamwork is, you can’t win if you don’t score—this is the reality.
I want the Japan squad to have a charismatic player who charges forward with an “It’s all me!” mentality, someone who might even seem selfish.
That egoist’s line is a core element of Blue Lock.
The scene where the protagonist, Yoichi Isagi, has his naive thinking shattered, and the scene where Jinpachi delivers a long speech about his creed—both are already iconic moments in the very first episode.
It was honestly pretty shocking!
