We win this, we go to nationals!
6
You got this, Isagi!
7
You won't get another shot, so better bring it home now!
8
Nationals, Nationals, Nationals, Nationals!
9
You missed me, loser.
10
I'm gonna score. And then...
11
On to Nationals.
12
Isagi!
13
Over here, I'm free!
14
Tata, if I pass, you'll score.
15
Each game!
16
One for all and all for one, remember?
17
That's right.
18
Because this is soccer.
19
A sport played by teams of eleven.
20
Good.
21
Now we're tied up.
22
Counter!
23
Push up!
24
Crab!
25
Get through!
26
Shit!
27
I ruined everything!
28
I'm sorry!
29
It's too cold!
30
I'm fucked!
31
It's not your fault, Tata!
32
You did your best!
33
I'm sorry!
34
Oh my god, Sierra!
35
That's all you can do!
36
Sierra, I can see why people call you the jewel of Japanese soccer.
37
I also heard you've been called up to play for Japan's U18 team.
38
Tell us about that.
39
Well, it's true.
40
But right now my focus is on winning at nationals, with this team.
41
One thing I can say is that I'm here because of them.
42
I wouldn't have become the person I am today without these guys.
43
You fought well out there.
44
Third years, this was your last game.
45
But you should be very proud of the time you spent together as a team.
46
We may have lost, but I believe that someday...
47
Someday...
48
You'll look back on this match, and now it was no waste!
49
Whatever anyone else says, as far as I'm concerned, Ichi-Nine is the best damn soccer team in Japan!
50
No. We're a team that didn't make it to nationals because we lost in the prefectural qualifier.
51
And I'm just an unknown second year forward on that team.
52
That's the reality.
53
Sorry to let you down, Noah.
54
You're a true superstar.
55
A direct volley!
56
An incredible goal from Noah!
57
Noah!
58
Something I'm never going to be.
59
Wow, Ielichi!
60
You're unstoppable!
61
I admired you for so long.
62
Oh my god!
63
Are you sure you're in middle school?
64
And gave so much of my life to soccer. But...
65
It's one for all, and all for one!
66
Let's make nationals together! together yeah it looks like my dream will never be more than
67
that my idiotic dream of becoming a star striker for Japan
68
and one day taking the national team all the way to win the World Cup What if,
69
when I saw he was open, I had passed, but taken the shot instead?
70
Would that have changed the game, and maybe my whole life?
71
Remember, it's one for all, and all for one.
72
Hey, what do you think's up with that guy?
73
Soccer is a sport played by teams of eleven.
74
You can't do it alone!
75
Dammit.
76
I really wanted to win.
77
Hey, I'm home.
78
Welcome back hon. How did the game turn out?
79
We lost 2-0.
80
Tell me there's food!
81
I made pork cutlet for good luck, but I guess it didn't help.
82
Of course it didn't.
83
You're supposed to eat that the day before the game.
84
Is that right?
85
Well, that's good.
86
Eat up!
87
I've got something that might help take your mind off it for a bit.
88
A letter came for you from the Japan Football Union.
89
Huh?
90
Selected to become a certified athlete?
91
Is that a good thing?
92
It sounds like it is.
93
I haven't the funniest.
94
I don't get it.
95
Why.. me?
96
I guess this is the right place.
97
Oh hey, you're from Ichinan.
98
It's Isagi, isn't it?
99
Figures you got an invitation too.
100
Good game the other day.
101
I was there, remember?
102
Kira.. yeah, I mean, of course I do.
103
Not the kind of loss you forget.
104
Well, for what it's worth, you totally stood out.
105
You've got a high soccer IQ.
106
Like, you see the bigger picture, you know?
107
If we were on the same team, you'd hit some amazing passes to me for sure.
108
Oh, um, thank you did that actually just happen Ryosuke Kira complimented me
109
so shall we don't know about you
110
but I'd like to find out why we're here yes please come on we don't need to be all weird
111
and formal with each other besides I'm glad we met oh
112
me too he's such a nice guy this seems like the place Oh wow,
113
there are a ton of guys here.
114
Yeah, and I see some I recognize too.
115
Okawa, Sinnoh's star player.
116
Ishikari, the tallest high school athlete.
117
Even Nishioka, the Messi of Aomori.
118
Wait, is everyone here a forward? And test, test, test.
119
Congratulations and welcome, diamonds in the rough.
120
You are the 318 and under strikers who have been chosen according to my arbitrary and biased decision making.
121
And I am Jimpachi Igo.
122
The man who was hired to ensure Japan's future victory at the World Cup.
123
What did he just say?
124
Japan's victory at the World Cup? Who is he?
125
Do you know?
126
No clue, sorry.
127
It's simple, really.
128
In order to outstrip the rest of the world, Japanese soccer requires just one thing.
129
And that is the birth of a revolutionary striker.
130
I'll be performing an experiment to turn one of you 300 into the single best striker in the world.
131
Here, at this facility.
132
Blue Lock.
133
Starting today, you will live there together and undergo the specialized training I've devised to transform you.
134
You won't be allowed to go home, and your previous soccer careers will be a mere memory.
135
But I promise you this, if you fight hard enough, if you survive to be the last man standing out of the 300 candidates assembled here,
136
you will be the greatest striker in history.
137
That's all for now.
138
It's been fun.
139
He's not serious, is he? Is he?
140
Excuse me, sorry, but I can't agree to these conditions.
141
All of us have teams we've given our loyalty to.
142
And some of us have nationals coming up.
143
You want me to abandon my team for what?
144
To participate in some crazy sounding program?
145
He's right!
146
I've got nationals too, man!
147
I don't want to live with a bunch of guys in some creepy facility!
148
Yeah, who are you anyway?
149
Bring out somebody who's not insane!
150
A pity.
151
You're all seriously ill, it seems.
152
Lock off!
153
Anyone who wants to leave can go.
154
Are your perspectives truly this limited?
155
You'd rather be the top high schooler in this soccer backwater than the world's best striker?
156
The future of Japan is in your hands?
157
It's enough to make a man weep.
158
What?
159
Listen up.
160
There's no denying Japanese soccer's first-rate teamwork.
161
Call it the result of our country's characteristic thoughtfulness.
162
But in all other aspects of the sport, we are second-rate.
163
Let me ask you this.
164
What is soccer?
165
Is it about 11 players working together?
166
The bonds that you form?
167
Self-sacrifice?
168
Fighting for your teammates?
169
That kind of thinking is why this country's game has remained weak.
170
I'll tell you the right answer.
171
Soccer is about one thing.
172
Scoring more goals than your opponent does.
173
Whoever scores the most is the best.
174
End of story.
175
If you just want a fun game with your pals, then lock off.
176
What's with this guy?
177
He's freaking nuts.
178
You can't really mean that.
179
Take it back!
180
Our team isn't weak.
181
It's full of athletes that we all admire.
182
I grew up watching them fight together on the field as a solid unit of eleven.
183
Those players are my heroes.
184
You're wrong!
185
Now take it back!
186
Hmm?
187
Japan's team isn't weak.
188
Hmm...
189
Do you mean the same losers who have never claimed a single World Cup?
190
You're either the best there is or you're trash.
191
Got it?
192
Instead of assisting my teammates to win 1-0, It feels better to pull off a hat trick and lose 3-4.
193
This direct quote from Noel Noah, who beat out Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo to win the Ballon d'Or, tells us how highly the world's best striker values your precious teamwork.
194
Here's one from Eric Cantona.
195
I don't care about my team.
196
I just want to stand out.
197
And from Pele, the world's best forward, midfielder, defender and goalkeeper.
198
Whichever you ask about, the answer is still me.
199
What you think?
200
Pretty awful, right?
201
But they're three of the best players in history, and they're all egoists down to the very core!
202
That's what Japanese soccer is lacking.
203
It's sad but true.
204
You can't possibly become the world's best striker unless you're also the world's biggest egoist.
205
The things this guy is saying.
206
Which is why we're all here.
207
So I can create a player who has what it takes.
208
They can't be right.
209
Someone who will climb atop 299 corpses.
210
A solitary hero.
211
I can't do it.
212
No one.
213
I've achieved nothing.
214
Picture the scene.
215
You've made it all the way to the World Cup final.
216
80,000 people in the stands.
217
You down on the field.
218
The score is nil-nil in the second half of extra time.
219
It's the last play.
220
With a pass from your teammate, you're through the defense.
221
You against the goalkeeper.
222
Six meters to the right is your teammate.
223
If you pass, your team's guaranteed to score a goal.
224
The championships, the hope of a nation, they're all riding on you.
225
Only an insane egoist could take that shot without a second's hesitation.
226
Now pass through and be transformed.
227
Discard your common sense.
228
Remember out there on the field you're the star.
229
This is the opposite of everything I've been taught.
230
Nothing should bring you more joy than your own goals.
231
Live only for that glorious moment.
232
And if you can't, then you're no striker at all.
233
I...
234
I AM a striker!
235
Isaki, what are you...
236
I'll play your dumb game, shithead!
237
Yeah, me too! And so it begins.
238
At the place where soccer is more intense than anywhere else in the world.
239
Blue luck.
240
I'm 299Z.
241
So I'm in...
242
Oh, this room.
243
Hey, Isagi.
244
What a relief.
245
At least there's one person here I know.
246
You read my mind.
247
I was kind of worried.
248
Didn't see you there.
249
My bad.
250
Nah, it was just an accident.
251
I hope.
252
Watch where you're walking.
253
Hey, Zico.
254
Come on.
255
Stop hugging the ball and pass it to me.
256
Dreaming about his last game?
257
Are you THE real Skykira?
258
I can't believe it's really you!
259
Yep, it's really me.
260
Huh?
261
Nice to meet you!
262
I'm Gurimu Igarashi!
263
Uh, yeah, hey.
264
My family?
265
They run a temple, but I don't really want any part of that life.
266
So what I heard while we were asked here, I couldn't stop shaking.
267
It feels like this is my chance to live my dream.
268
Have you finished changing my little diamonds in the rough?
269
Welcome all.
270
Please, think of the players you're sharing this space with as both your roommates as well as your rivals.
271
I have quantified your skills and ranked each of you according to my arbitrary and biased decision-making.
272
Thus the numbers on all your uniforms.
273
You can tell at a glance what your rank out of 300 is.
274
Wait, I'm 299?
275
The second worst player here!
276
They're not set in stone, but change based on your performance during training or matches.
277
Oh yes.
278
The top five will get to play six months from now, in an important tournament being held.
279
These elite athletes will be registered as forwards during the U-20 World Cup.
280
The U-20 Japanese team?
281
Is he joking?
282
Additionally, anyone who loses while here at Blue Lock will forfeit the right to ever represent Japan.
283
No way.
284
Only those of you who gain the biggest ego will succeed here, which I will now measure by administering a test.
285
Let's play a game of tag, shall we?
286
You have 136 seconds.
287
Whoever's struck by the ball is it.
288
Whoever's it the moment time runs out will be locked off.
289
What?
290
Also?
291
No using your hands.
292
What?
293
This isn't how you play soccer.
294
I'm it first because I'm ranked the lowest.
295
Fine!
296
Let's do this!
297
No hard feelings, anyone!
298
Whoa!
299
Hold on!
300
Don't tell me you actually believe what he said!
301
Jack, what if he's telling the truth?
302
If I'm kicked out, I'll wind up a monk for the rest of my life.
303
Whoever loses here will forfeit the chance to ever play for Japan.
304
Hey!
305
Stay away from me!
306
Real sorry, Asagi!
307
Hey!
308
Listen...
309
This whole setup's ridiculous.
310
Listen, the reason I'm here is so I can prove he's delusional.
311
Don't screw with me!
312
This is wrong on so many levels.
313
No way I'm letting him ruin my future!
314
Damn, Mr. Gannon!
315
I can't hit anyone!
316
It's a cheap shot, but so what?
317
You're hit!
318
Punk, it's called a foul!
319
If this were a real game, you'd get red-carded!
320
He said only handballs were against the rules, didn't he?
321
Good morning.
322
Huh?
323
What's with this guy?
324
Look, I'm not a big fan of playing dirty.
325
I want a clean game.
326
You got that?
327
Aye aye, Mr. Straight-Laced.
328
Left yourself open!
329
Amen!
330
Bastard!
331
I'm gonna destroy you!
332
Let go!
333
Ay, man!
334
Iseaki!
335
Sorry, wrong person.
336
Crap.
337
If I don't hit someone, my shocker career is over.
338
I've got just one minute.
339
Things can't end here.
340
I won't let them!
341
Clear!
342
Everyone here is so athletic.
343
I'll have to aim carefully if I want to hit anybody.
344
I should go after a player rank lower than me, like him. For real?
345
Oh no!
346
You're gonna have to catch me first!
347
Is my fate really going to be decided by a stupid game of tag?
348
Dang, this is really bad.
349
No, I can't lose.
350
I won't!
351
I'll do whatever it takes to win.
352
I want to continue playing soccer.
353
I don't want my dream to end here.
354
Not like this!
355
You little shit!
356
Come on, here's your chance!
357
Let go of me!
358
Don't just stand there, shoot!
359
When I told you to play fair before, I was serious!
360
Well, that hurt.
361
Quit laughing and get off me!
362
I can win.
363
I can survive.
364
Please.
365
But this guy's soccer career will be over.
366
No. Hold on, stay back.
367
I mean it!
368
Keep away from me, dude!
369
I don't want to go out like this!
370
It isn't fair!
371
I can win.
372
I can survive.
373
Please!
374
But this guy's soccer career will be over.
375
No. They have to do it.
376
That's how blue lock works.
377
If there are winners, there must also be losers.
378
Making my dream come true means ending someone else's.
379
No getting around it!
380
That's not right.
381
In order to change, I have to be something I'm not.
382
I came here to turn things around.
383
To become the best in the world!
384
Unless I beat someone stronger than me, that won't happen!
385
I like you.
386
You're right.
387
Want to beat someone?
388
Then it should be the strongest player.
389
Wait, what?
390
Me?
391
Somebody once said, in the world of soccer, you can train first-rate goalkeepers, defenders as well as midfielders.
392
But strikers are a different breed entirely.
393
How can you tell one's a first-rate athlete?
394
That's easy.
395
They will look for whether soccer is its most intense.
396
He was right.
397
I'm the strongest.
398
Then out of nowhere, that's where you'll find them.
399
Move, OPPM, Doっちでもいいから処理してくれ Tell me,
400
find that, レジネーネー 見つけられない限りはどうせ Time of life I'm not right,
401
突き詰んでもない Don't go遊びに叫ぶ 意図もない I'm not right, I'm not right, I'm not right, I'm not right, I'm not right,
402
I'm not right, How crazy is that feeling?
403
How crazy is that feeling?
404
3.5.
405
I want to be happy with you.
406
I can't remember, I can't forget I'm not sure if you want to go I'll just be a little hungry
407
I'll just go get it I'll just go get it But you're not sure if you want to
408
I'm not sure if you want to So true.
409
Then again, you've always been good at the sport since you were little.
410
Such natural talent.
411
I guess.
412
There was that one Christmas when you asked Santa Claus to bring you the World Cup trophy.
413
I don't think there was ever a time you weren't dreaming of becoming the world's greatest striker.
414
Mom, you're embarrassing me.
415
Stop it.
416
Whenever a soccer match was on the TV, your eyes were glued to the screen.
417
And how you'd cry if we dared switch the channel.
418
Huh?
419
Son, I wanna check the news.
420
Turn it back!
421
That's how it went.
422
You'd tire yourself out from crying and fall asleep.
423
Then, when you woke up, you didn't remember a thing.
424
Oh yeah, you also used to forget to do your homework all the time.
425
I suppose that's why his grades weren't very good, huh? So low.
426
Yep, the kid sure isn't a scholar.
427
No, sir.
428
You said it, huh?
429
Wait a second.
430
Were you dissing me at the end there?

Practice Tips for Shadowing Success
The video's dialogue has energetic, fast moments (like game calls) and softer, reflective parts (like the main character's thoughts). Here's how to use the shadowing technique effectively:
- Start slow: Pause after short phrases (e.g., "Go, Isagi! This is our last chance!") and repeat them, matching the tone. A good shadowing site can help you loop sections.
- Focus on stress: In "National High School Soccer Championship," stress "National" and "Championship" to sound natural.
- Mimic emotions: When the character says, "It's not your fault, Tada-chan," use a gentle, reassuring tone. For "Nationals!" raise your voice to show excitement.
Consistent practice with this video will improve English pronunciation and help you speak more fluently—just like a pro! Keep at it, and soon you'll be "shadowspeaking" like a native.

What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
