The second season of the television anime "Blue Lock" is set to begin airing in October. The series, which features Yoichi Isagi as the protagonist, will be accompanied by a new illustration drawn by Yusuke Nomura, the manga artist for "Blue Lock," celebrating the announcement of the season's airing.

The announcement was made today during a stage greeting, where Kazuki Ura, the voice actor for Yoichi, excitedly declared, "The protagonist, Yoichi Isagi, is coming back! I'm home!!" "Blue Lock" is based on a manga of the same name currently serialized in Weekly Shonen Magazine. The story revolves around Japan's initiative to create a soccer player with overwhelming egoism, which the country sees as missing from its national team following their defeat in the FIFA World Cup. This project targets high school students, gathering 300 of them, all forwards, sacrificing the soccer careers of 299 to potentially revolutionize Japanese soccer by creating one exceptional striker. The manga has surpassed a total of 30 million copies in circulation.
