Hyoma Chigiri
Blue Lock’s Fastest Footballer
Close
- Manga Debut: Chapter 1
- Anime Debut: Episode 1
- Age: 16-17
- Position: Left Wing, Forward, Right Back
Chigiri was a child prodigy whose confidence and career went downhill following an injury that psychologically affected his game. But playing under Ego’s eyes at Blue Lock helped him regain his mojo. Hyoma is one of the fastest players at the facility, and sometimes his ability to score goals is overlooked because of his overwhelming speed and talent to create chances for forwards while playing as a left wing. But in the Neo Egoist League, he dispels some of these doubts by scoring brilliant goals for his team, Manshine City.

Seishiro Nagi
Manshine City’s Right Wing
Close
- Manga Debut: Chapter 22
- Anime Debut: Episode 1
- Age: 17
- Position: Forward, Right Wing, Goalkeeper, Offensive Midfielder
Lazy and unmotivated, Seishiro Nagi had no desire to be the best in the world until he joined Blue Lock and was thrilled by the idea of competing against the most skillful footballers from Japan. Born with a natural talent for the game, he thrived in pressure situations and scored some of the best goals.
This is the first time I’ve felt like this, and in order for me to understand this frustration, I want to play football with this guy. I want to try to put in some effort.
Nagi’s innate tapping ability, along with almost perfect ball control, allowed him to excel as a striker, and he subsequently became one of the best forwards in the facility. By the time he played in the Neo Egoist League, Seishiro was a more evolved footballer and scored one of the best goals Jinpachi had ever seen in his life.

Shoei Baro
Blue Lock’s Self-Proclaimed King
Close
- Manga Debut: Chapter 5

Shoei Baro is an arrogant and self-centered footballer who is preoccupied with the idea of dominating his opponents and proving himself to be the star of the field. While his personality can be off-putting, he is undoubtedly one of the best players mentored by Ego. Baro plays an aggressive form of football and relies on his superior physicality to intimidate those around him.
On the field, there is already one true king.
Shoei also beautifully employs his middle shots to score goals that often seem practically impossible. Along with the Flow State, Baro is gifted with the Predator Eye, which allows him to focus solely on the goalkeeper and wait for any tactical oversights to exploit and use against the opposition.
