Hello everyone! This is Saori from Otaku Republic!

Everyone! What day do you think...... June 9, 2026 is? Actually, this day is said to be a very rare day that comes only once every 100 years! What on earth is it......!?

First of all, June 9, 2026 was certified as Blue Lock Day because the sequence of numbers 2, 6, 6, 9 can be read as ”2 (Bu)”, ”6 (ru)”, ”6 (ro)”, ”9 (ku)” in the Japanese way of reading numbers! The next time these four numbers align will be 100 years from now, and the moment it became June 9, a special video and a special news report were released!

A special movie starting with an illustration newly drawn by the author, tracing the trajectory of Blue Lock that has unfolded so far! The blue flames are so cool......! After this thrilling video, what was announced almost at the same time was actually follow-up news about the 3rd season of the anime!

The 3rd season will fully depict the ”Neo Egoist League” arc, which starts from chapter 155 (around volume 18) of the manga version! The voice actor for Yoichi mentioned that right around the time the post-recording for the first episode of the anime version began, this ”Neo Egoist League” arc just started to be drawn, making it a very impressive and memorable episode for him! Since it is currently drawn up to around chapter 348, thinking that it is entering about the halfway mark of the Blue Lock story currently being written makes it quite deeply moving!

And first of all, voice actor Mamoru Miyano has been selected to play Michael Kaiser, who belongs to Germany's strongest team! He is an universally acknowledged prominent voice actor, and recently he played Douma, a demon in Demon Slayer, and the role of Mario in The Super Mario Bros. Movie. In short, he is famous as an actor who can perfectly pull off various roles from villains to heroes without any awkwardness! This time, a video of Michael Kaiser actually speaking was not released, so I'm curious about what impression it will give!

Everyone, please follow the latest information while looking forward to follow-up news with actual anime footage for Blue Lock Season 3, which will likely start soon!
