But the football mangas are the real craze. Scholarly studies on Manga, and graduate school programs are in place now in Japan. It’s generally seen as a post-second-world-war phenomenon, but Tokyo professor Brigitte Koyama-Richard has dated it back to scroll-paintings in the 12th century in her book ‘One thousand years of Manga’. But it’s the football mangas that have crazy fan following from the epic Captain Tsubasa that has a worldwide fandom to the Blue Lock which is currently airing in Japan. Japanese Manga isn’t just restricted to sports or kids’ comics – it’s consumed by adults and has topics that vary from political, erotic, cultural, soap-opera-ish storylines, science fiction, poetry, historical – the whole jazz basically. My purpose here is to create such a player in Japan.” You will not become the greatest strikers in the world, unless you have the ego to match. All of them revolutionary strikers!! Their extraordinary egoism is the one thing Japan’s football lacks. From you 300 players gathered here today, I will forge the best striker in the world through a certain project. And that is the creation of the revolutionary striker. Japan only requires one thing to become the strongest powerhouse in football. There is a famous quote from the Blue Lock’s coach Jinpachi Ego: “My job is to make Japan a team capable of winning the World Cup.I’ll put it in simple terms. The characters were sporting the new jersey in the launch, done with the cooperation of the illustrators of the manga Yusuke Nomura and Tsujitomo. The jersey reveal was done in collaboration with football manga Blue Lock and Giant Killing. In August this year, the Japanese football team revealed their jerseys for the Qatar world cup, incorporating Origami elements, the Japanese art of folding paper, as a symbol of praying for happiness. Not long after Asano thundered in the goal to down Germany at Qatar, the Blue Lock Manga’s Twitter handle put up a post: “Awesome! Ego!”īlue Lock and Adidas collab with Japan national team equipment /8C9kMWkd6Kīlue Lock has a closer relationship with Japan’s football team. A new coach is hired who trains talented young footballers in a prison-like facility called Blue Lock. The Manga created by Yusuke Nomura’s plot runs thus: After Japan blew a lead to lose to Belgium, it’s believed that what they need is some ego in their strikers who are hungry for goals and don’t fuss too much about the old Japanese ideals of teamwork so much that they miss the moment to shoot. The Blue Lock Manga has been screaming for this day. “A striker who chokes in front of the goal simply doesn’t have what it takes to be one,” says a Blue Lock character Shoei Baro. Japanese fans, devoted as they are to their football Manga (Manga is Japanese comic and graphic books) from the epic Captain Tsubasa to the current sensation Blue Lock, saw the anime’s imprint on real life. Just like the strikers in the Manga Blue Lock. Asano doesn’t bail out of the moment, trying to pass the ball across in hope that the in-rushing team-mate would get to it – – he just blasts it. Even as he found himself wedged in a corner with barely any space visible between the champion German goalkeeper Manuel Neuer and the goalpost, especially with the six-feet-two inches tall Nico Schlotterbec about to shoulder-barge him again, he would conjure a dreamy right-footer past the startled Neuer. On November 3rd, Takumi Asano wouldn’t give up the hustle. Somehow, he contorted his body to hook the ball back into play, across the stunned Spanish goalie Simon, where Ao Tanaka would materialise to sink the ball into the net. On Thursday, even as the ball plummeted across the goalmouth in the 51st minute, and seemingly rolled out of play, Kaoru Mitoma wouldn’t give up the hustle.
