Who Will Be Blue Lock’s Top Striker?
Jinpachi Ego’s Blue Lock pits 300 talented, young strikers against one another in a prison-like setting that is eerily evocative of Squid Games in an effort to produce the “world’s most egotistic and greatest striker.”
There are certain attackers that have an advantage over their rivals, despite the fact that every striker may have appeared extraordinary and promising so far in the Neo Egoist arc.
Michael Kaiser, a prodigy from the New Generation 11, is destined to surpass Rin Itoshi and Ryusei Shido as the finest striker in the Blue Lock series. Each of the three of them possesses pro-caliber football technique and spatial awareness.
Professional athletes like Noel Noa are not on this list because of their superior football abilities compared to the other strikers.
But in addition to these three players, there are a number of other attackers in the Neo Egoist League that might emerge as the best striker in Blue Lock.
14 Jyubei Aryu
Golden Rules for Goal-Scoring : Jumping power x poaching long balls
Recent Value : 5,000,000
Team : Ubers
Despite the fact that Aryu Jyubei is an unconventional striker who initially lacks credibility, the so-called “ultimate style icon” has a significant advantage over other players when it comes to leaping. He initially appears in the Second Selection Arc as one of the top three scorers who took first place in the stage.
He can jump far higher than other players because to his lengthy limbs, and he can catch balls that are out of reach. He has really scored a lot of goals off long balls, in reality.
13 Eita Otoya
Golden Rules for Goal-Scoring :Immense speed x stealthy steps
Recent Value : 9,000,000
Team : FC Barcha
Eita, who is ranked #4 out of the 300 Blue Lock players, is sometimes referred to be the game’s “secret ninja.” Eita was first selected by Ego for the Blue Lock Eleven squad because of his agility.
He can rapidly go between defenders to steal the ball from under their noses when combined with his covert presence.
12 Karasu Tabito
Golden Rules for Goal-Scoring : Team tactics x feints
Recent Value : 12,000,000
Team : P.X.G.
In a school where strikers are known for being aggressive and offensive, Karasu Tabito achieves the ideal balance between defense and offense.
Ego is impressed by Karasu’s exceptional field analysis skills, which prompts him to start him as the defensive midfielder against the Japan U20 squad.
The key to Karasu’s success is his ability to maneuver past many opponents while maintaining possession of the ball.
11 Reo Mikage
Golden Rules for Goal-Scoring : Meta vision x The Chameleon
Recent Value : None
Team : Manshine City
Reo initially resembles Nagi more as a sidekick in the series. He lacks a special weapon of his own since he is an all-arounder who lacks a specialty.
Reo, however, quickly changes after being passed over by Nagi at the Second Selection. He creates a weapon called Chameleon using his well-rounded skill set that allows him to nearly perfectly imitate the abilities of others.
10 Hyoma Chigiri
Golden Rules for Goal-Scoring : Controlled curve shot x Mach Cut-in
Recent Value : None
Team : Manshine City
Hyoma Chigiri of Team Z is unbeatable in terms of speed. Even if he tosses the ball a staggering 50 meters ahead of him, Hyoma can catch up with it because to his incredible speed in shredding through wings.
Despite sustaining a deadly injury and losing to strong opponents, he is able to regain his “ego” and secure a reliable spot as a left wing in Manshine City of the Neo Egoist League.
9 Shoei Baro
Golden Rules for Goal-Scoring : Physical charging power x middle shot
Recent Value : None
Team : Unknown
Squad X’s Baro, who completely controls his team to defeat Team Z in their opening match, embodies egotism and domination. His style of play is centered on possession, and he will go to any length to reclaim the ball from his opponents.
Additionally, Baro plays completely instinctively, disregarding all soccer conventions. When facing him, even Rin, who has remarkable spatial awareness, is unable to predict his actions.
8 Rensuke Kunigami
Golden Rules for Goal-Scoring : Center and upper body reflexes x finesse shot
Recent Value : 24,000,000
Team : Bastard München
Contrary to Bachira and other players in Blue Lock, Rensuke Kunigami is one of the few who strictly adheres to the regulations. Despite being dismissed in the Second Selection, his athletic prowess allowed him to enter Bastard Munchen as a wild card.
Early on in the series, he was severely held back by his strong moral compass. However, after being completely decimated by Ryusei Shido’s instinctive and aggressive play style, he abandons his morality and transforms into a powerful shield made entirely of impulse and flesh.
7 Seishiro Nagi
Golden Rules for Goal-Scoring : Trapping x volley shot
Recent Value : None
Team : Manshine City
Despite being a prodigy at the start of the series, Nagi has no desire to become the best striker. When he competes against Team Z, his perspective shifts, and he begins to exert more effort.
Nagi is a god-like trapper that can use almost any part of his body to catch the ball, including his back. As Manshine City’s attacking midfielder, he excels at using his ability to trap the ball despite pressure from many players.
6 Yoichi Isagi
Golden Rules for Goal-Scoring : Meta vision x direct shot
Recent Value : 17,000,000
Team : Bastard München
Yoichi Isagi may appear to be an ordinary player who doesn’t score much, yet he possesses one of soccer’s best skills: spatial awareness. He surpasses Baro’s erratic play and Bachira’s incredible dribbling talents in his uncanny ability to forecast the precise location of the ball.
One of his best qualities is flexibility. He evaluates his opponents’ skill set, reacts to their play, and “devours” it as necessary.
5 Meguru Bachira
Golden Rules for Goal-Scoring : Dribbling x precise passing
Recent Value : 32,000,000
Team : FC Barcha
Don’t be misled by Meguru Bachira’s outward friendliness; he’s actually an egotistic attacker with exceptional dribbling and passing skills. Even Nagi in the Second Selection arc felt adrift without Bachira’s practical passes.
Inside of Bachira lies a monster that stands for his unadulterated ego. When this monster wakes up, he goes into a trance and acts only instinctively. In this condition, Oliver Aiku, the captain of the Japan U20 defense, was easily defeated by Bachira.
4 Agi
Golden Rules for Goal-Scoring : Tactical analysis x aerial battle
Recent Value : None
Team : Manshine City
Agi, a forward for Manshine City also known as the “Doctor,” has most recently been added to the lengthy list of quirky Blue Lock competitors.
He can provide his colleagues some helpful training advice thanks to his football tactical analysis. He enables Nagi, for example, to try a new move—the juggling shot—against Bastard Munchen thanks to his instruction on trapping.
Agi also has a large physique, which he employs during fights to his advantage in aerial confrontations.
3 Ryusei Shido
Golden Rules for Goal-Scoring : Extreme spatial awareness x drive shot
Recent Value : 20,000,000
Team : P.X.G.
Ryusei Shido is an independent entity that has total control over both his play style and physical prowess. He is skilled at dribbling without using his feet, accurately predicting the ball’s location, and powerfully kicking the ball.
Ryusei is a one-man army, and anybody who challenges him risks violent confrontation. Even Sae Itoshi, a professional U20 midfielder, recognizes his talent and asks him to play with him.
2 Rin Itoshi
Golden Rules for Goal-Scoring : Spatial awareness x puppet control
Recent Value : 36,000,000
Team : P.X.G.
Perhaps only Rin Itoshi comes close to fitting Ego’s description of the ideal striker. He is a genius who is exceptional in every skill you can think of, including football IQ, positioning, kick accuracy, and spatial awareness.
He plays soccer quite differently than other attackers who just prefer to run straight past their opponents. Instead, to maximize his play techniques and use his accurate kicks to score as many goals as possible, he manipulates his teammates and opponents like puppets.
1 Michael Kaiser
Golden Rules for Goal-Scoring : Meta Vision x Kaiser Impact
Recent Value : None
Team : Bastard München
Michael Kaiser is the only striker in Blue Lock who is capable of defeating any professional striker.
The top striker in Blue Lock since is Michael Kaiser, the star of Bastard München. He has perfected his off-ball moves, his quickness, and his spatial awareness. It is stated that Michael’s Kaiser Impact is superior to Noel Noa’s.
He is a force to be reckoned with because his powerful shots are loaded with pace and because years of practice have perfected his football knowledge and field vision.
In Chapter 180, Kaiser calmly blocks Nagi’s flawless shot by foreseeing Agi’s flick pass to Nagi just in time. We can claim with certainty that his spatial awareness is higher than Yoichi’s and even Rin’s.
Honorable Mention: Julian Loki
Golden Rules for Goal-Scoring : Godspeed x dribbling
Team : P.X.G. (Mentor)
Even if Julian isn’t a real member of Blue Lock, he deserves to be mentioned because of his superb football technique.
Julian Loki has already secured a spot in the France National Team despite being the same age as the other strikers in Blue Lock. Due of his incredible speed, he is sometimes referred to as the “God Sprinter.”
He is so quick that his opponents have little time to react to him before he evades them or snatches the ball from beneath their noses. Julian’s boundless stamina makes him virtually unstoppable.
