Team Z players ; : : :Yoichi Isagi is selected for the Blue Lock program despite his team's failure to qualify for high school nationals, personally chosen by Jinpachi Ego. Initially ranked among the weakest of 300 participants, he distinguishes himself through exceptional field vision and tactical analysis, creating scoring opportunities for Team Z. His emphasis on "chemical reactions" between teammates enhances collaborative playmaking. After overcoming early setbacks in the second selection, Isagi earns a starting position against Japan U-20, scoring the decisive goal following Rin's setup. His performance continues in the Neo-Egoist League as a Bastard München starter, where he ties Rin for the highest transfer bid. ; : : :Bachira Meguru is a forward known for his exceptional
dribbling skills, enabling him to maneuver past opponents with ease. Initially isolated due to his unconventional personality, he developed an imaginative approach to football, visualizing opponents as "monsters" to challenge himself. He forms an early friendship with Yoichi Isagi in Team Z, bonding through their shared passion for the sport. Characterized by his energetic demeanor and non-confrontational nature, Bachira occasionally struggles with social interactions off the field. During the Second Selection, he refines his technical abilities while adopting a more confident playing style. His consistent performance earns him a place in the Blue Lock lineup and one of the highest bids in the Neo-Egoist League while playing for FC Barcha. ; : : :A self-described "football superhero" with strong morals regarding football, he emphasizes fair play on field whilst maintaining tact with his striking power. He also maintained a calm and kind personality towards others off-pitch and was generally seen as an older brother figure to his teammates. Despite being initially eliminated in the second selection following a loss to Shidou and Igaguri, he would return via the Wild Card program with a significantly more introverted and serious attitude towards his teammates and football in his newfound efforts of becoming the best striker in the world. He currently plays for Bastard München in the Neo-Egoist League as a starter. ; : : :Hyoma Chigiri is an attacking player known for his explosive acceleration and technical dribbling skills. Nicknamed "Princess" for his distinctive red hair and meticulous appearance, he initially displayed an aloof demeanor stemming from a past ACL injury that threatened his career. After recovering, he played cautiously until overcoming his fears during Team Z's match against Team W. This breakthrough restored his confidence and signature speed-based playing style. Chigiri progressed through subsequent selections, earning a spot in the Japan U-20 exhibition match before joining Manshine City in the Neo-Egoist League as a starting forward. ; : : :Wataru Kuon is a dedicated
goalkeeper whose technical skills and leadership initially made him Team Z's defensive anchor and tactical organizer. His strict professionalism contrasted with teammates' more casual attitudes, earning him a reputation as overly serious. During the first selection, his controversial decision to betray Team Z in their match against Team W—though strategically motivated—damaged his standing among peers. Despite efforts to redeem himself in the second selection by forming a new trio with Imamura and Iemon, Kuon failed to progress further in the program. His elimination underscored the Blue Lock project's emphasis on evolving beyond conventional playstyles. ; : : :Known for his highly aggressive personality on and off field and his shark-like teeth, he was often seen as an intimidating player who primarily shouts and frequently engaging in arguments at both his teammates and his opponents. Over time, he would be more accepting of cooperating with his teammates as well as be a source of inspiration for his teammates to persevere in the direst moments with his high stamina. During the second selection, he would team up with Gagamaru and Junichi Wanima as all three would later make the cut for the third selection. He currently plays for Bastard München after appearing as a substitute for the match against Japan U-20. ; : : :Joining the Blue Lock program, he was primarily defined by his desire to pick-up girls through his self-described abilities of speed and technique. Despite this, he never gained many opportunities to show off his skills as he would later be eliminated in the second selection alongside Kuon and Iemon as his teammates. ; : : :A tall and physically gifted player, Gagamaru is known for his ability to use himself as a spring to cover long distances with this method being often used to score goals for his team. After passing the second selection alongside Raichi and Junichi Wanima, he was selected to play as a goalkeeper for both the Blue Lock XI in the Japan U-20 match as well as for Bastard München during the Neo-Egoist league, utilizing his bodily capabilities to make many normally impossible saves. ; : : :Hailing from a family in poverty following the premature deaths of his parents, Naruhaya aspired to become a professional football player to earn a significant amount of money to help out his sister in attaining funds. Despite his efforts and his quick footwork, he would ultimately be eliminated from the second selection following a defeat to Isagi and Nagi as they would choose his teammate Barō over him. ; : : :Despite playing as a forward alongside the rest of the participants of the Blue Lock program, he was selected to play as the goalkeeper of Team Z. He would later be eliminated in the second selection alongside his teammates Kuon and Imamura. ; : : :Nicknamed and more commonly known as , he descends from a family of monks and is set to inherit the temple from his father. His desire to evade life as a monk serves as his sole motivation to play professional football as he is infamously the lowest rank player in the entirety of the Blue Lock Program with his primary strength being through his perseverance and tendency to foul other players. During the Second Selection, he teams up with Shidou after narrowly avoiding elimination but has since only appeared as a reserve for the U-20 match as well as in the Neo-Egoist League where he plays for Bastard München. He was eliminated from Blue Lock due to not making the top 23. ; : : :Part of the same team that had beat Isagi's team in the qualification for the high school nationals, Kira was nicknamed the "Crown Jewel of Japan" due to his talents as he would later befriend Isagi after both were accepted into the Blue Lock program. He was a notable critic of Ego's philosophy on what made a good striker and chose to enter to prove him otherwise. He was one of the first players eliminated from Blue Lock after an unexpected kick from Bachira and Isagi despite initially being the highest ranked player amongst the twelve players of Team Z.
Other Blue Lock players introduced in the First Selection ; : : :Known for his incredibly selfish and egotistical attitude, Barō desires to be the center-stage and main star of the field, caring for only himself and showing little regard and respect towards others such as his persistent refusal to pass to his teammates. After being the sole survivor of Team X from the first selection due to being the club's top scorer, he gained further motivation with this philosophy upon losing to Isagi and Nagi during the second selection, devoting his plays solely to become Isagi's "villain" fueled by his desire of revenge. Conversely, he is known to be devoted to cleaning and enforcing good conduct on public spaces off pitch. Following appearing as a substitute for Otoya in the U-20 match and scoring a goal, he played for Ubers as a starter and qualified for the U-20 World Cup. ; : : :Seishiro Nagi is a naturally gifted forward recruited into competitive football by Reo Mikage, with whom he formed a dominant high school partnership. After entering the Blue Lock program, he led Team V to near-flawless victories until defeated by Team Z, igniting his rivalry with Yoichi Isagi. During subsequent selections, Nagi demonstrated elite technical ability, earning selection among Blue Lock's top six players and captaining Team C. He scored the opening goal for Blue Lock XI against Japan U-20. In the Neo Egoist League, his initial success with Manshine City was hampered by predictable play patterns with Reo. This tactical limitation ultimately led to him ranking in 24th place, being eliminated from the Blue Lock program. ; : : :Reo initially had very little satisfaction in life due to everything simply being easily obtainable due to his parents' extraordinary wealth. This was until he sought to obtain the
FIFA World Cup Trophy due to it having to actually be earned instead of simply given to him. Following him accidentally bumping into Nagi, Reo saw the potential in him through a miraculous catch of his phone with his foot as he later befriended him, dominating high school football through their team plays. This success would continue into the First Selection as the two played for Team V and won nearly every match. His time in the Second Selection with Chigiri and Kunigami would have Reo later develop his signature technique of precisely replicating opponents' abilities with near-perfect accuracy, achieving up to 99% fidelity during the U-20 exhibition game. Despite later relying on Nagi too much to the point of being vulnerable to easy predictions, Reo still qualified to play in the U-20 World Cup. ; : : :Zantetsu Tsurugi is a winger recognized for his explosive acceleration, compensating for limited tactical awareness. His remarkable speed stems from childhood habits of running rather than taking public transport. Though his technical abilities initially carried him through Team V's successes in the first selection, his intellectual limitations became apparent during strategic plays. He is also characterized by his low intelligence, often using malapropisms to make him sound smarter. After temporary alliances in the second selection with Niko and Reiji Hiiragi, he joined Nagi's group following their elimination. His performance earned him progression to the third selection and later a starting position with Paris X Gen in the Neo-Egoist League. Despite his shortcomings, Zantetsu secured a spot in Japan's U-20 World Cup roster through sheer athletic prowess. ; : : ; : : :The older brother of Keisuke Wanima, Junichi was the only member of Team W to survive the first selection, due to being their top scorer. Junichi would later team up with Raichi and Gagamaru during the 2nd selection. In the third selection, he chose to play for Manshine City in England. He was ultimately eliminated from Blue Lock due to not making the top 23. ; : :
Blue Lock players introduced during the Second Selection ; : : :The number one ranked player in Blue Lock, and Sae Itoshi's brother, as well as Isagi's rival from the Second Selection onwards. His skills are very similar to Isagi's, although honed to a higher degree. ; : ; : ; : :A chaotic but talented player who idolizes Sae Itoshi but dislikes Rin. To appease Sae's demands for playing in the U-20 match, he also joins the U-20 squad and is the only player to score two goals, despite only coming in as a substitute in the second half. ; : ; : ; : ; : ; : ; : == Other players ==
