Japan’s recent win over Germany in the FIFA world cup 2022 has inscribed the show on the map. Indeed, Blue Lock fans are going crazy about how the anime has stamped on real life.
Indeed, now is the time of the manga Blue Lock that quests for some hunger and ego in its strikers. In fact, a new generation of attackers is ushering in. Captain Tsubasa was influential in sparking football interest in Japan. Blue Lock’s mercurial coach Jinpachi Ego comments that true strikers tread a path of winning or losing everything. They fling everything at it every single day in order to keep on surviving.
How Blue Lock and Captain Tsubasa parallel Japan’s profound win over Germany at the World Cup?
A Blue Lock character Shoei Baro states that a striker who chokes in front of the goal simply does not have what it demands to be one. Let’s discuss the storyline of the Blue Lock. After Japan blew a lead to lose to Belgium, it became clear that they require some ego in their strikers who are hungry for goals and don’t bother too much about the old Japanese principles of teamwork so much that they lose at the moment to shoot. We see a new coach who trains fertile young footballers in a prison-like facility called Blue Lock. Let us tell you about a famous statement from Blue Lock’s coach Jinpachi Ego. He makes it clear that his task is to forge Japan as a team capable of winning the World Cup.
In fact, he goes on to say that Japan only needs one element to become the strongest powerhouse in football. And that is the formation of the revolutionary striker. He further adds that a revolutionary striker’s extraordinary egoism is the one thing that Japan’s football team falls short of. He addresses the players and comments that they will not become the greatest strikers in the world unless they have the ego to equal their moves.
Indeed, Tsubasa is an awe-inspiring character conceived in 1981. However, he has gone beyond the imagination of even its creator Yoichi Takahashi. Takahashi once commented that reality caught up with the manga and then transcended it. Indeed, he can say that again today after Japan’s majestic win over Germany.
Why Blue Lock?
In 2018, the Japanese national team came 16th in the FIFA World Cup. Thus, as a result, the Japanese Football Union appoints the soccer enigma Ego Jinpachi. His master plan to forge Japan in the uncreated conscience of the race is Blue Lock. Indeed, Blue Lock is a training regimen formed to produce the world’s greatest egotist striker. In fact, those who fail Blue Lock will never again be allowed to play for Japan.
