What Is Blue Lock The Movie -Episode Nagi-? 

Directed by Shunsuke Ishikawa for studio Eight-Bit with character designs provided by Yusuke Nomura, a screeplay handled by Taku Kishimoto, and a returning voice cast from the anime, Blue Lock The Movie -Episode Nagi- hit theaters in the United States earlier this Summer but has yet to confirm its home media release plans outside of Japan as of the time of this publication. Sony Pictures and Crunchyroll tease what to expect from the new movie as such: 

“‘That’s a hassle.’ That was second-year high schooler Nagi Seishiro’s favorite phrase as he lived his dull life. Until Mikage Reo, a classmate who dreamed of winning the World Cup, discovered Nagi’s hidden skill, inspiring him to play soccer and share his outstanding talent. One day, he receives an invitation to the mysterious BLUE LOCK Project. What awaits him there is an encounter with the finest strikers assembled from across the country. Nagi’s dream of becoming the best, alongside Reo, will take this prodigy to a world he’s never known. A prodigy can only be shaped when someone discovers him….now, striker Nagi Seishiro’s incredible talent and persona will set the soccer world ablaze.”

Blue Lock will be returning with Season 2 of the TV anime some time this October as part of the Fall 2024 anime schedule as well.
