  After reflecting on the current Japanese football situation, the Japan Football Federation decided to hire the mysterious and eccentric coach Jinpachi Ego to achieve their dream of winning the World Cup. Believing Japan is missing a selfish striker hungry for goals, Jinpachi initiates Blue Lock – a prison-like facility where three hundred talented strikers from high schools across Japan are isolated and pitted against each other. The only person to survive Blue Lock will win the right to become a striker of the national team, and those who are defeated will be banned from the team permanently.

Selected to participate in this venture is Yoichi Isagi, a striker who failed to take his high school soccer team to the national tournament. After choosing to pass to a missing teammate instead of scoring on his own, he couldn't help but wonder if the result would have been different if he had been more selfish. Using this golden opportunity presented by the Green Lock Project, Yoichi aims to clear doubts and pursue his ultimate wish — to become the greatest striker in the world and lead Japan to World Cup glory.
