Crunchyroll have recently announced that BLUE LOCK THE MOVIE -EPISODE NAGI-, a feature-length-film within the BLUE LOCK anime franchise, will receive a UK cinema release on 5th July 2024 in partnership with Sony Pictures Entertainment.
BLUE LOCK follows the dreams of 300 high school students who aim to become an absolute ace striker and lead the Japan’s Men’s National Team to win the next World Cup tournament. However, if they are eliminated from the BLUELOCK training program they will never be able to play for the national team and their career is finished. The film, which will focus on fan-favourite Nagi Seishiro, serves as a side story to the series and follows the high schooler as he discovers his hidden talent for football
About: “That’s a hassle.” That was second-year high schooler Nagi Seishiro’s favourite phrase as he lived his dull life. Until Mikage Reo, a classmate who dreamed of winning the World Cup, discovered Nagi’s hidden skill, inspiring him to play soccer and share his outstanding talent.
One day, he receives an invitation to the mysterious BLUE LOCK Project. What awaits him there is an encounter with the finest strikers assembled from across the country. Nagi’s dream of becoming the best, alongside Reo, will take this prodigy to a world he’s never known.
A prodigy can only be shaped when someone discovers him….now, striker Nagi Seishiro’s incredible talent and persona will set the soccer world ablaze.
We can expect Crunchyroll to reveal further details in the near future, but at the moment we do know that BLUE LOCK THE MOVIE -EPISODE NAGI- will be screened in English & Japanese (with English subtitles) from 5th July 2024. In the meantime BLUE LOCK is available to stream on Crunchyroll.
