The second main promotional video for upcoming football anime Blue Lock has been released.
The show is slated to air on Oct. 8, 2022 on TV Asahi's NUMAnimation programming block. The anime is produced by Studio Eight Bit.
The Blue Lock Project is a plan to groom young athletes into professional stardom by making them undergo a regimen designed to create the world's greatest egotist striker. The catch is that those who fail the project will never again be permitted to represent Japan.
The second PV features the opening theme Chaos ga Kiwamaru by UNISON SQUARE GARDEN, while the ending theme is Winner by Shugo Nakamura, who also voices character Gin Gagamaru.
In addition to the previously announced cast, the following new characters and their voice actors have been introduced:
