BLUE LOCK has announced a 4th stage play, which is set to be performed in two venues in Osaka and Tokyo in May 2025. The play will run at THEATER MILANO-Za in Tokyo from May 15-25, and at the Higashi-Osaka Cultural Creation Hall Dream House Great Hall in Osaka from May 30 to June 1 next year.
Cast members from the first three plays are returning, including Ryohei Takenaka as the protagonist Yoichi Isagi. The additions for the 3rd one included Ryono Kusachi as Rin Itoshi, Gaku Matsuda as Ryusei Shido, Kosuke Asuma as Kenyu Yukimiya, and Kairi Miura as Yo Hiori.
The first BLUE LOCK stage play ran in May 2023 in Osaka and Tokyo; the second in January 2024 in Kyoto and Tokyo, while the 3rd one just finished showing in Tokyo (also had performances in Osaka earlier in August).
BLUE LOCK is a Japanese manga written by Muneyuki Kaneshiro and illustrated by Yusuke Nomura. Studio 8bit animated the first TV anime season that premiered in October 2022 and ran for 24 episodes. In addition to the Nagi movie which premiered in April, a 2nd TV anime season is also in production. It is set to premiere on October 5.
Kodansha licensed the manga in English, while Crunchyroll streams the anime. They describe the story:
Japan’s desire for World Cup glory leads the Japanese Football Association to launch a new rigorous training program to find the national team’s next striker. Three hundred high school players are pitted against each other for the position, but only one will come out on top. Who among them will be the striker to usher in a new era of Japanese soccer?
