STRONGEST FROM BLUE LOCK!!
16. Imamura Yuudai
In the anime, Imamura Yuudai is one of the members of Team Z along with main characters Isagi Yoichi, Meguru Bachira, and others. Just like his fellow team members, he seems to be one of the energetic ones and has a strong love for football.
When it comes to his specialty in soccer, it’s gotta be his speed and technique since those are what he considered as his greatest weapon! He was able to reach the Second Selection in the Blue Lock Project with the help of his teammates, but unfortunately, his strength was not enough for him to advance to the third selection. He was eliminated offscreen during the events of Second Selection as he was never shown in the succeeding chapters (Blue Lock, Chapter 40).
15. Kuon Wataru
One of the supporting characters you’ll know in the series and one you’ll probably hate eventually is Kuon Wataru and he was a fellow Team Z member along with the main protagonists. Some of Kuon’s specialty in soccer is his strategic way of thinking and calm aura. These traits of his is what makes the team composed, making him a potentially good leader.
Unfortunately, even though he started off as a good guy, he eventually betrayed Team Z all because of his strong selfishness to become the top striker. Even though he passed the First Selection with the help of Team Z, he was eliminated some time at the Second Selection putting a stop to his soccer career (Blue Lock, Chapter 40).
14. Iemon Okuhito
Iemon Okuhito was another member of Team Z and has the role of goalkeeper in every match they have. Due to his huge build, he has strong potential to become a good defender in his soccer career. Sadly, he didn’t make it to the Third Selection just like some members of Team Z because he was eliminated during the Second Selection (Blue Lock, Chapter 40).
13. Igarashi Gurimu
Igarashi Gurimu is one of Isagi Yoichi’s first friends when he joined the Blue Lock Project. They were both on the bottom of the rankings when they started off in the First Selections with Gurimu being at the lowest rank (Blue Lock, Episode 1).
With Isagi’s help and his fellow teammates in Team Z, Gurimu has drastically improved his skills in soccer which led his rank to increase more in the series. He may look like a weak character in the beginning because of his simple character design, but surprisingly, he actually managed to become one of the top players and is now playing as a member of Bastard Munchen!
12. Tsurugi Zantetsu
Tsurugi Zantetsu is one of the best players in Team V who played alongside Nagi Seishirou. He was considered to be one of their fastest runners too because he was able to block the ball from reaching the goal when they faced off against Team Z (Blue Lock, Episode 9).
What makes him one of the strongest players is because of his incredible acceleration making him very difficult for others to catch up to him and can easily pass through defenders.
11. Jingo Raichi
Jingo Raichi is an aspiring professional striker just like other major characters in Blue Lock and when it comes to his personality, he shares strong similarities with Inosuke from Demon Slayer and they even have the same VA!
You could say that Jingo is a jack of all trades since he can manage to do different roles in soccer such as being a striker and a defender. His huge build and rageful attitude represents the immense stamina he has when he’s on the field allowing him to play for longer durations.
10. Niko Ikki
Niko Ikki was first introduced as a member of Team Y and became one of Isagi Yoichi’s rivals after they first went against each other in a match during the First Selections. After their win against Team Z, It is because of Yoichi that Niko got more motivated to defeat him as a rival and become the best striker (Blue Lock, Episode 11).
One of Niko’s specialties in playing soccer is his spatial awareness and can easily analyze the current field he’s playing in including the positions of his teammates and opponents. This is also what made him consider Yoichi as one of his rivals in Blue Lock because they’re both tactically aware of their surroundings.
9. Gagamaru Gin
Next up is another member of Team Z, Gagamaru Gin and just like other characters, Gin is also an aspiring pro striker in the future. Even though he wants to become a striker, Gin’s build and reflexes are more catered to a goalkeeper position and ever since this was acknowledged to him, he took on the role of goalkeeper after the Third Selections (Blue Lock, Chapter 108).
8. Barou Shoei
Barou Shouei is one of the strongest players who participated in the Blue Lock Project. When his team went on against Team Z, he was able to display his full strength while he’s on the field and has proved to be a real obstacle that Team Z needs to overcome (Blue Lock, Episode 3).
You can also consider him as a real villain because of his arrogant attitude towards others and his selfish way of playing soccer that negatively affects his teammates. Other than that, Barou excels in almost every physical aspect and you can even consider as one who has the best physique among Blue Lock participants.
7. Mikage Reo
Mikage Reo is one who you can consider as a “rich kid” in Blue Lock because other than being a student at an elite school, he is supposedly the next heir to their family company! Other than that, he doesn’t fall short in his soccer skills and was the one who taught Nagi Seishirou how to play the game (Blue Lock, Episode 12)!
When he became a part of Team V, he was the Top 2 player in their team while Nagi was the Top 1. Even though he has his future already set before him, he still has one goal in mind and that is to become a champion in the Football World Cup!
6. Chigiri Hyoma
One of the fastest runners in Team Z of the Blue Lock Project is none other than Chigiri Hyoma, of course! Hyoma had a tragic past related to soccer after he suffered a major leg injury and ever since then, he was restraining his full strength when playing soccer (Blue Lock, Episode 7).
After that, Isagi helped him overcome Hyoma’s past trauma which allowed him to play soccer again to his full potential. When he’s in the field, Hyoma is known for his incredible speed and we can say without a doubt that he is indeed one of the fastest players among Blue Lock participants!
5. Kunigami Rensuke
Now for our 5th is a Kurosaki Ichigo look-alike, Kunigami Rensuke! Known for his huge build and spiky orange hair, Kunigami is one of the players who dreams of becoming the best striker in the world! He is a member of Team Z and eventually became one of Isagi Yoichi’s most trusted friends in the Blue Lock Project.
Because of his tall body, Kunigami excels in almost every physical aspect and is an incredible striker because of his left leg that can help him score powerful shots!
4. Meguru Bachira
Next up is another one of the main characters, Meguru Bachira! He may somewhat look crazy on the outside especially when he’s on the field but it turned out that he’s actually a kindhearted dude once you get to know him! He may also seem quite lazy most of the time but as long as soccer is involved, that is where he really becomes serious.
Meguru was already first introduced as a powerful player during the early part of the series and believes that the “demon” inside him is what makes him stronger in playing soccer. He first met Yoichi during the First Selections and had good chemistry with him ever since then (Blue Lock, Episode 1).
3. Nagi Seishirou
Nagi Seishirou is another powerful player you’ll get to know once you get into the Blue Lock series. He’s the best friend of Mikage Reo and attends the same school as him before they were invited for the Blue Lock Project. He was a member of Team V alongside his best friend making them a powerful duo!
When they faced off against Team Z, Nagi displayed incredible soccer skills and was able to easily copy the strategy of opponents like Isagi. This goes to show that Nagi is a real expert on the field and is almost unmatched even without his best friend’s help (Blue Lock, Episode 8).
2. Isagi Yoichi
Coming up on 2nd is the main protagonist, Isagi Yoichi himself! After losing a match as a member of the Ichinan High School Soccer Team, he almost lost hope in his career until he received an invitation for the Blue Lock Project.
Even though Isagi was considered as the best player in his high school team, the Blue Lock Project introduced him into a new environment where almost everyone is more powerful than him. Joining the Project has led him to awaken his own ego of becoming the best striker and beat anyone who’s stronger than him (Blue Lock, Episode 1)!
1. Itoshi Rin
Taking the crown for 1st place is Itoshi Rin! He recently debuted in Episode 11 of the series and has already displayed incredible expertise in the sport. He is also the younger brother of a professional soccer player named Itoshi Sae so you should really expect that Rin is going to be a difficult player to beat!
Itoshi Rin excels in almost everything related to soccer. Other than his unrivaled playstyle, he also has amazing accuracy and he first displayed it by kicking two soccer balls that eventually hit in mid-air! A lot of the players were shocked when he did this, of course, giving him a strong villain vibe. (Blue Lock, Episode 11)!
