Blue Lock has finally made its full anime adaptation debut as part of the new wave of anime coming this Fall, and the series has debuted its opening theme sequence alongside the first episode! While there are some major releases hitting this Fall among a stacked schedule of huge franchises, the big sports offering this time around is the adaptation based on Muneyuki Kaneshiro and Yusuke Nomura’s original manga series. This intense soccer series is unlike many other offerings, and fans got to see just how intense with its premiere. This includes an equally as intense opening theme sequence.

Blue Lock‘s first episode premiered with just its opening theme sequence playing during the end episode credits (which means there’s no ending theme sequence debut just yet), and it teased all of the faces fans will see over the course of Isagi’s trials in the titular Blue Lock facility. Titled “Chaos ga Kiwamaru” as performed by UNISON SQUARE GARDEN, the opening theme sequence has been released with a creditless version on the series’ YouTube channel. You can check it out for yourself below:ย

Who will emerge to lead the team…and will they be able to out-muscle and out-ego everyone who stands in their way?”
