Next month, BLUE LOCK THE MOVIE -EPISODE NAGI- will make its way to North American theaters. Ahead of the film’s release, Crunchyroll has debuted the film’s official English sub trailer.
“That’s a hassle.” That was second-year high schooler Nagi Seishiro’s favorite 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.
Based on the manga written by Muneyuki Kaneshiro and illustrated by Yusuke Nomura, 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. Only one whose ego and skill triumphs over all will emerge on top.
The film, which is produced by Eightbit, is directed by Shunsuke Ishikawa with an original story by Muneyuki Kaneshiro, manga by Kouta Sannomiya, character design by Kouta Sannomiya, composition and screenplay by Taku Kishimoto, and music by Jun Murayama.
BLUE LOCK THE MOVIE -EPISODE NAGI- will make its way to theaters in North America on June 28, distributed by Crunchyroll and Sony Pictures Entertainment. It will be available in Japanese with English subtitles, as well as an English dub.
