Plot:
The dark soccer manga "BLUELOCK" has been decided to be animated! The Japanese national football team was eliminated in the round of 16 in the 2018 FIFA World Cup. In order to win the next World Cup in 2022, the Japan Football Federation decided to launch the "Blue Prison Project". Based on the idea of the project leader Eishin Shiba, 300 outstanding forwards aged 18 or under were gathered from all over the country to conduct cruel closed-door training in a building called "Blue Prison". 299 of them were eliminated to train only one most self-centered and strongest forward.
