Blue Lock Eleven

Eleven egoists united to defeat Japan U-20 before scattering to the Neo-Egoist League.

The Blue Lock Eleven is a temporary squad assembled from the program's top participants to face Japan's U-20 National Team. Chosen by Jinpachi Ego, this group includes key figures like Yoichi Isagi, who rose from the weakest ranks through exceptional field vision, and Meguru Bachira, known for visualizing opponents as monsters. The team also features Rensuke Kunigami, a former "football superhero" who returned via Wild Card with a serious demeanor, and Hyōma Chigiri, whose explosive speed was restored after overcoming an ACL injury. Other members include Wataru Kuon, Jingo Raichi, Gin Gagamaru (who plays as goalkeeper), Gurimu Igarashi, and Shōei Barō. This lineup represents the culmination of the First and Second Selections, testing whether the program's philosophy can produce a striker capable of defeating the national team.

Quick Facts

Affiliation: Blue Lock Project
Key leader: Yoichi Isagi
Primary opponent: Japan U-20 National Team
Formation context: Second Selection survivors; Final Stage
Tactical core: Chemical reactions and field vision

Lore & Background

The Blue Lock Eleven emerged from the intense competition of the Second Selection, where players were forced to form trios or face elimination. Yoichi Isagi distinguished himself by fostering "chemical reactions" between teammates in Team Z, eventually earning a starting spot against Japan U-20 after scoring the decisive goal following Rin's setup. The squad's composition was fluid; Wataru Kuon, despite being Team Z's initial defensive anchor, betrayed his team during the First Selection and failed to progress past the Second Selection with Imamura and Iemon.

Conversely, Jingo Raichi, Gin Gagamaru, and Gurimu Igarashi survived the Second Selection alongside Shidou. The lineup was finalized for the U-20 match, featuring goalkeeper Gin Gagamaru and substitutes like Raichi and Igarashi. This gathering marked a critical turning point where individual ambitions were temporarily aligned to secure victory against the established national team.

Reader's Guide

The roster is drawn strictly from survivors of the First and Second Selections. Key members include Yoichi Isagi (Bastard München starter), Meguru Bachira (FC Barcha starter), Rensuke Kunigami (Bastard München starter), Hyōma Chigiri (Manshine City starter), Jingo Raichi (substitute for U-20, Bastard München player), Gin Gagamaru (goalkeeper for Blue Lock XI and Bastard München), and Gurimu Igarashi (reserve for U-20, Bastard München player). Notable eliminations include Wataru Kuon, Yūdai Imamura, Okuhito Iemon, Asahi Naruhaya, and Ryōsuke Kira. Post-match, the team disbanded as members entered the Neo-Egoist League: Isagi and Kunigami joined Bastard München (where Isagi tied Rin for the highest transfer bid), Chigiri joined Manshine City, and Bachira joined FC Barcha. The lineup serves as a benchmark for individual growth within the program.
