Blue Lock Hypes Midseason Return With New Poster

Blue Lock has officially brought its first slate of episodes to an end with the end of the rest of the Fall 2022 anime schedule, and the series is hyping up its big return for the second half of its debut season with a new poster teasing the next major arc of the series! The anime taking on Muneyuki Kaneshiro and Yusuke Nomura's original manga series is now at a much more popular place than when it first began thanks to Japan's success in the FIFA World Cup this past year, but this success will continue with the next major arc of the series. 

When we had last seen Yoichi Isagi and the rest of the former Team Z, they are now breaking off into their next major Selection challenge to further pare down to the best of the best from this point on. It's all on each of their own shoulders for the Second Selection arc, and with it comes the introduction of some of the best soccer players introduced to the series yet. Teasing Isagi's next major rival, Blue Lock has dropped a cool new poster for its midseason premiere that you can check out below:
