By Muneyuki Kaneshiro Blue block tells the story of Japan's most talented strikers as they compete to become the best striker in the world with the hopes of helping Japan lift the World Cup trophy for the first time. Players come from different backgrounds and come with unique skills and traits that set them apart.

While being tall is not a prerequisite for success in the world of football, many players in the series use it to their advantage, dominating the pitch in ways others can only dream of. In this article, we look at some of these players and classify them based on their height.

8 Seishiro Nagi

Height: 190cm / 6ft 3in

• Debut in the manga: Chapter 22, titled “Until This Fire Goes Out”
• Anime debut: Episode 1, titled “Dream”
• Position: striker, right winger, attacking midfielder and goalkeeper

The Blue Lock structure brings together some of the most talented strikers in all of Japan under one roof, but very few are as gifted as Seishiro Nagi. At one point, he was a lazy and unmotivated teenager, but that changed dramatically when he started competing with other players in the facility. Nagi soon underwent a transformation and found himself competing to be the best in the world.

This is the first time I feel like this and, in order to understand this frustration, I want to play football with this boy. I want to try to put in a little effort.

As previously mentioned, Nagi is a talented footballer whose ball control is superior to almost anyone in the Blue Lock. Seishiro has also demonstrated that he can enter the flow state and use multiple weapons together to score seemingly impossible goals. During the match against Bastard München, he scores what many describe as the goal of the century by executing a five-shot fake volley. The goal is so good that Jinpachi claims it will never be recreated.

7 Oliver Aiku

Height: 190cm / 6ft 3in

• Debut in the manga: Chapter 110, titled “The Newcomer
• Anime debut: Episode 25, titled “Evidence
• Position: Central defender, Forward

Oliver Aiku wanted to become the best striker in the world from a young age, but his dream was sabotaged by a lack of proper guidance. He eventually decided that he would instead become the best defender in the world and successfully joined the Italian Ubers, where he plays as a central defender. He is a skilled footballer who intelligently uses his understanding of an attacker's mentality to read the game and anticipate attacking moves.

People often compare attackers to thieves and defenders to policemen. So, under my watch, I will not let any Thief steal any goals.

Oliver is one of the few footballers with metavision and the ability to enter the flow state at will. Furthermore, his spatial awareness and quick reflexes make him an enigma to opponents, leaving attackers frustrated as he appears like an impenetrable wall that they cannot break through.

6 Gen Fukaku

Height: 191cm / 6ft 3in

• Debut in the manga: Chapter 112, titled “Grand Stage”
• Anime debut: Episode 29, titled “Flow”
• Position: Doorman

With a height of 191 cm or 6 feet 3 inches, Gen Fukaku is a goalkeeper. He plays for the Japanese U20 team and later joins the Ubers, one of the best football teams in Europe.

Unlike most footballers whose game relies on difficult skills, Gen's greatest weapon is his domineering physique with which he becomes a formidable presence on the pitch. Using his height, he can defend a large area of ​​the net, making it extremely difficult to score a goal against his team.

5 Gin Gagamaru

Height: 191cm / 6ft 3in

• Debut in the manga: Chapter 1, titled “Dream”
• Anime debut: Episode 1, titled “Dream”
• Position: Goalkeeper and Forward

Gin Gagamaru is a dedicated team man and reliable friend who, unlike most Blue Lock players, is willing to selflessly put the team's success before his personal goals. Although he joined Jinpachi's plan to become the best striker in the world, when the situation called for it he had no qualms about putting on the gloves and playing as a goalkeeper. It soon became apparent that Gin had the natural reflexes and body suited to the role and could prove to be a very effective goalkeeper.

My biggest weapon is my close plays.

Gagamaru is equipped with ultra reflexes that allow him to execute last-second headers and unconventional movements on the pitch that are difficult to anticipate. He is also quite flexible and went to the extreme to score a Scorpio kick during a crucial match. Gin is also one of the few people in Blue Lock who eventually learns to consciously enter the flow state. In the Neo Egoist League, he plays as a goalkeeper for Bastard München of Germany.

4 Kento Cho

Height: 193 cm / 6 feet 4 inches

• Debut in the manga: Chapter 112, titled “Grand Stage”
• Anime debut: Episode 29, titled “Flow”
• Position: Left wing

Kento Cho is a sharp and lanky player from the Japanese U20 team who plays for Paris X Gen, a French professional football team. Born on August 19, he is a left winger and plays an offensive role in the team taking advantage of his agility and quick decision-making. His best weapon is his tall stature, which allows him to dictate play during the post-game.

3 Dada Silva

Height: 195cm / 6ft 4in

• Debut in the manga: Chapter 87, titled “Fortune”
• Anime debut: Episode 23, titled “Luck”
• Position: Forward

One of the best footballers in the world and a member of the Brazilian national football team, Dada Silva is an arrogant and ruthless striker who despises other players. Equipped with a strong physique, he likes to control the game and impose his will on defenders, who stand no chance against him in one-on-one battles.

Perhaps his most intimidating weapon is his high jumping power, which makes him appear invincible on the field. Dada's jumping and diving headers are virtually unstoppable. His aerial dominance, combined with his intimidating physicality, make him a nightmare for defenders.

2 Jyubei Aryu

Height: 195cm / 6ft 5in

• Debut in the manga: Chapter 1, titled “Dream”
• Anime debut: Episode 1, titled “Dream”
• Position: attacker and central defender

Jyubei is an eccentric striker who cares about aesthetics and style. His ability in the penalty area is second to none and he can convert even half chances into goals flawlessly. Since Aryu is quite tall, he uses this to his advantage and positions himself intelligently to intercept the ball before his opponents.

It's decided. In this field right now I am the most stylish.

Aryu also jumps higher than most Blue Lock players and, due to his height, easily catches long-range passes. This makes him extremely dangerous in the six-yard box. Additionally, Jyubei uses his long range to control the game and score goals from unexpected angles. He has also shown that he can use his long limbs for defensive purposes when his team needs support.

1 Yukio Ishikari

Height: 200cm/6ft 7in

• Debut in the manga: Chapter 1, titled “Dream”
• Anime debut: Episode 1, titled “Dream”
• Position: Forward

Yuki Ishikari is a talented soccer player who joins the Blue Lock project to make his mark in the world of professional soccer. Considered Japan's tallest young player in his age group, Ishikari capitalizes on his advantage and turns it into a useful weapon. Since he towers over every other player on the pitch, his vertical leaps are a nightmare for defenders.

Yuki also uses his height advantage to intercept the ball with his headers and position himself strategically to lead an attack against opponents. In the Neo Egoist League, he plays for the Italian professional soccer team known as the Ubers.
