Blue Lock is back! The hype-fueled football (soccer) anime that redefined sports shonen just confirmed a new TV anime sequel during the Blue Lock Egoist Festa 2025. Ever since the adrenaline-packed Season 2 ended, fans have been waiting for the next big announcement—and it’s finally here.
Blue Lock Sequel Confirmed
At today’s event, the production team revealed that Blue Lock will continue with a sequel TV series. While exact release dates and formats are still under wraps, the announcement alone was enough to send the fandom into a frenzy on social media.
Alongside the reveal, comments were shared by the creators themselves:
Muneyuki Kaneshiro (original author): “It’s a sequel decision!! I did it… Thank you Egoist production team…! Kiyoshi and we will start anew from here! I’m going to make it with my ego fully open, so please kneel down and wait!”
Yusuke Nomura (manga artist): “Finally announced! New anime series!! It’s finally time to animate the ‘New Hero Wars.’ Please wait for the overseas guys and the ones with even crazier habits than Blue Lock’s players!”
Clearly, the creators are just as hyped as the fans.
What Does the Sequel Cover?
While the production team hasn’t officially stated how much of the manga the sequel will adapt, Nomura’s “New Hero Wars” comment all but confirms that we’re heading straight into the Neo Egoist League Arc.
This arc is one of the most intense parts of Blue Lock yet, featuring:
Players heading overseas to prove themselves.
International clashes with world-class rivals.
Isagi and the others pushed to their absolute limits in pursuit of ego-driven greatness.
If you thought Blue Lock was intense before, the sequel is about to redefine peak sports anime hype.
