Blue Lock Vol. 1

A mad young coach gathers soccer players from across Japan to compete in a high-tech colosseum called Blue Lock, a Squid Game–meets–World Cup battle royale to become the nation's top striker. After a disastrous defeat, the Football Union creates this rigorous training ground for 300 youth players, where the last striker standing must out-muscle and out-ego everyone.
