Blue Lock: Episode Nagi Movie, penned by manga author Muneyuki Kaneshiro and illustrated by Kōta Sannomiya, stands as a spin-off manga derived from the main series. The manga commenced its serialization in Kodansha’s Bessatsu Shōnen Magazine in June 2022 and has since been compiled into three tankōbon volumes. Following the conclusion of the first season of the Blue Lock anime, the series revealed plans for an anime movie adaptation based on the spin-off manga.
Blue Lock: Episode Nagi Movie Announces April 2024 Release Date
The Blue Lock: Episode Nagi movie is scheduled for release on Friday, April 19, 2024, in Japan, as announced by Kadokawa and the official website of the series. This revelation was accompanied by the unveiling of a main visual and trailer, both of which were shared through the anime’s official X account.
The main visual prominently features Seishiro Nagi and his Team V comrades, Reo Mikage and Zantetsu Tsurugi. Additionally, it showcases the four pivotal players from Team Z: Yoichi Isagi, Meguru Bachira, Hyouma Chigiri, and Rensuke Kunigami. The visual strongly suggests that the climax of the film will revolve around the match between Team V and Team Z during Blue Lock’s first selection.
Blue Lock: Episode Nagi Movie Trailer
The trailer provides a clear indication that audiences are in for some novel experiences. While Blue Lock: Episode Nagi is essentially a reimagining of the anime’s narrative thus far from Nagi’s perspective, there might be concerns among fans about its appeal.
However, the trailer suggests that the movie will offer previously unseen scenes, promising a fresh perspective. The film is likely to delve into the backstory of how Reo Mikage influenced Nagi Seishiro to take up football and pursue his dream of winning the World Cup.
Audiences can anticipate witnessing the initial collaboration between the two players as they face high school football teams. Furthermore, the film is expected to explore how they encountered Zantetsu and joined forces to overcome the challenges posed by teams W, X, and Y. Lastly, a significant focus of the movie may be on the intense match between Team V and Team Z, a pivotal moment that fueled Nagi’s determination to surpass the protagonist of the main series, Yoichi Isagi.
