Blue Lock Season 2 debuted in Japan earlier this month with episodes simulcasting on Crunchyroll. The first two episodes of the season are currently available to stream with English subtitles. It looks like the English dubbed episodes will trail by a few weeks.
Based on the sports-themed manga series written by Muneyuki Kaneshiro and illustrated by Yusuke Nomura, Blue Lock follows the development of a training regimen that is designed to create the world's greatest egotist striker. Yoichi Isagi, an unknown high school soccer (football) player, joins the program with the hopes of becoming the best striker in the world. The official synopsis reads:
Japan’s desire for World Cup glory leads the Japanese Football Association to launch a new rigorous training program to find the national team’s next striker. Three hundred high school players are pitted against each other for the position, but only one will come out on top. Who among them will be the striker to usher in a new era of Japanese soccer?
The first season of Blue Lock received rave reviews and sits at an 87% on Rotten Tomatoes. If you've not yet watched it, you can find the entirety of Season 1 available to stream on Crunchyroll.
Also available on the platform is Blue Lock The Movie -Episode Nagi-, which arrived this week. An adaptation of the spin-off manga, it follows the events of Blue Lock, but through the perspective of Seishiro Nagi, acting as both a prequel and side story to help flesh out the anime.
Blue Lock isn't the only anime series to receive English dubs this week on Crunchyroll. The anime drama Trillion Game debuted its first English-dubbed episode today.
