Blue Lock season 2 episode count
There are 14 episodes in Blue Lock season 2's U-20 arc. Given that the new season is expected to focus on just one match, that makes sense to us.
If the soccer anime runs without interruption, that takes us right up to January 2025.
The story synopsis teases what to expect over the coming months. It reads: "After making it this far, 35 players stand, but now the Blue Lock program itself faces elimination from Japan’s very own U-20 National Team. Vicious rivals will have to team up to defeat the national youth team if any of them want a shot at the striker position. Can they put aside their egos long enough to win together, or will they lose divided?"
