Upcoming football anime Blue Lock has released a character promotion video (PV) featuring Shouei Barou (CV: Junichi Suwabe).
The TV anime is scheduled to broadcast in October 2022 and is produced by Studio Eight Bit.
Barou is a member of Team X, the rival of Team Z. He is a tough, arrogant character who calls himself "King of the Pitch."
The titular Blue Lock is the name of a project designed to groom young athletes into professional stardom by making them undergo a regimen designed to create the world's greatest egotist striker. The catch is that those who fail the project will never again be permitted to represent Japan.
