Thank you.

As good a place to ask as any: why is football related to the colour blue? It's in this title, Blue Lock, and Ao Ashi. Can't be a coincidence.

yuuto as regista, interesting

With A-Team gamestyle based on counter attack, you can expect they have a solid defense.

@es_kan I guess it comes from Japan's NT kit colour.

@es_kan @Renan_Walheim

The color blue isn't related to football but to 'a feeling of youth', if I understand correctly. For example, you have other manga series with titles like gunjo (ultramarine blue), gunjo ni siren, blue giant, blue flames, blue orchestra etc.
This is elaborated upon in the afterword of gunjo ( https://mangadex.org/manga/169/gunjo ), though I still don't get why it is used that often.

@AcceptableDiner but then again the whole manga is about Ryuu's path to the Japan national football team.

Yazawa isn't good enough. They honestly need Sakuraba to beat one of the defenders in one on one.
