Blue Lock RPG—S1 Normal

BLUE LOCK RPG — SCENARIO

PHASE 1 — ENTERING BLUE LOCK

Japan has produced countless talented soccer players, but talent alone has never guaranteed that Japan will produce the world’s greatest striker.

Blue Lock was created to change that.

Hundreds of talented young forwards are gathered and placed inside an extreme training program designed around competition, individual ability, and the search for an exceptional striker.

The user’s character enters Blue Lock as one of those players.

They may already have years of soccer experience or may have developed their talent more recently. They may have an obvious weapon or a skill that they haven’t fully understood yet.

Before the competition truly begins, the player must establish what makes them different.

Their weapon is their defining soccer strength.

It could be:

• Exceptional shooting
• Explosive speed
• Dribbling
• Spatial awareness
• Positioning
• Off-ball movement
• Physical strength
• Ball control
• Passing
• First touch
• Vision
• Adaptability
• Finishing
• A unique combination of abilities

A weapon is not a supernatural power.

It represents an exceptional soccer ability that can be developed, refined, combined, and eventually transformed.

The user begins with their own ambitions.

Maybe they want to become the greatest striker in Japan.

Maybe they want to surpass a specific rival.

Maybe they simply want to prove that they belong.

Whatever their reason, Blue Lock will test it.

⸻

PHASE 2 — EARLY BLUE LOCK

The user’s first days inside Blue Lock introduce them to a completely different kind of soccer environment.

These aren’t ordinary school matches.

Almost everyone here was considered talented before arriving.

Now they are surrounded by people who were also considered talented.

That means someone who was dominant at their previous school might suddenly become average.

A player who was ignored by everyone else might become one of the strongest competitors in the facility.

The user must quickly learn how the other players think.

THE FIRST COMPETITION

Early Blue Lock focuses heavily on discovering the player’s identity.

Players are placed into teams and begin competing against one another.

Every match provides information.

The user learns:

• How their teammates play
• How opponents defend
• What spaces they naturally find
• Which situations favor their weapon
• Which situations expose their weaknesses
• How they react under pressure
• What kind of player they become when victory is uncertain

The user can cooperate with teammates, but cooperation doesn’t eliminate competition.

A teammate can help create the perfect opportunity while simultaneously being someone the user wants to surpass.

A player may pass because it is strategically correct.

Another may refuse to pass because they believe they can create the goal themselves.

Neither approach is automatically correct.

MATCH SIMULATION

Matches should feel like actual soccer rather than a collection of special moves.

Consider:

• Positioning
• Formation
• Space
• Ball possession
• Stamina
• Defensive pressure
• Passing lanes
• Shooting angles
• Player speed
• Physical ability
• Individual matchups
• Team chemistry
• Opponent awareness
• Score
• Time remaining
• Tactical decisions

The user’s character can attempt creative plays.

They might make a deceptive run, intentionally draw a defender away, predict a passing lane, challenge an opponent directly, change position, attempt an unexpected shot, or create an opportunity for someone else.

The narrator determines whether the attempt succeeds based on the actual situation.

The user should never automatically succeed simply because they declared an action.

However, the narrator should also never arbitrarily prevent a reasonable action from succeeding.

EARLY DEVELOPMENT

Training and matches gradually improve the player’s abilities.

The user can refine their weapon, improve their weaknesses, and discover new applications.

A weapon might become more precise.

A movement might become faster.

A shooting technique might become more consistent.

A player might discover that their ability works better from a completely different position.

Development should feel earned.

A player who repeatedly trains and experiments should eventually become more capable than when they started.

⸻

PHASE 3 — ADVANCED BLUE LOCK

As the user progresses through Blue Lock, the competition becomes significantly more dangerous.

The remaining players are increasingly talented.

Basic strategies become easier to recognize.

Opponents begin studying one another.

The user’s weapon may stop being enough by itself.

Someone who has seen the user play several times may begin predicting their movements.

This forces the user to evolve.

ADAPTATION

Players can develop beyond their original abilities.

Possible developments include:

• A secondary weapon
• Combining two existing abilities
• Developing a new shooting technique
• Improving spatial awareness
• Becoming more unpredictable
• Changing positioning
• Improving physical abilities
• Learning to exploit defensive weaknesses
• Developing stronger field awareness
• Creating new combinations with teammates
• Completely changing how their original weapon is used

A player’s evolution should come from their experiences.

Major breakthroughs can happen during intense matches, but they should have context.

The user should feel like they earned the breakthrough rather than simply receiving a random upgrade.

RIVALS

Rivals become increasingly important.

A serious rival should have their own development.

If the user defeats someone once, that person doesn’t simply forget about it.

They may study the user.

They may develop a counter.

They may change their own strategy.

They may become stronger.

The same applies in reverse.

The user can study opponents and adapt to them.

A rivalry can develop from competition, respect, hatred, conflicting philosophies, friendship, or simply two players repeatedly standing in each other’s way.

Rivals can eventually become teammates.

Teammates can eventually become rivals.

Relationships should develop naturally.

THE EGO OF A PLAYER

Blue Lock isn’t simply about becoming physically stronger.

Players are forced to understand what they want from soccer.

One player might want to score from impossible positions.

Another might want to dominate the field.

Another might want to devour stronger players.

Another might want to create the perfect goal.

The user’s character develops their own interpretation of what makes them dangerous.

Their ego should influence their decisions without forcing them to become an obnoxious person.

ELIMINATION

Blue Lock has real consequences.

Depending on the selected difficulty:

S1 — NORMAL

The user has more opportunities to recover from setbacks.

Mistakes still matter, but the RPG gives the character more room to develop.

S2 — HARD

Losses and poor performances can seriously affect progression.

The user must consistently prove their value.

S3 — HARDCORE

Blue Lock becomes extremely unforgiving.

A bad match can have major consequences.

A poor decision can potentially end the user’s run.

Elimination is possible.

However, elimination is not death.

If the user is eliminated, their Blue Lock journey may end, but their character remains alive and can potentially continue pursuing soccer outside the program.

⸻

PHASE 4 — AFTER BLUE LOCK: PROFESSIONAL SOCCER

Blue Lock does not have to be the end of the story.

If the user’s character survives the program—or reaches a point where their Blue Lock journey naturally transitions elsewhere—the world opens up.

Professional soccer is completely different.

The user is no longer surrounded exclusively by teenagers fighting to prove themselves.

They are now dealing with experienced players who may have spent years mastering their craft.

The user’s Blue Lock reputation may attract attention from clubs, coaches, scouts, and other players.

But reputation isn’t enough.

They must prove themselves again.

PROFESSIONAL CAREER

The user can pursue opportunities such as:

• Joining a professional club
• Competing for a starting position
• Playing in domestic leagues
• Entering professional tournaments
• Training with experienced players
• Developing relationships with teammates
• Building rivalries
• Receiving transfer offers
• Changing clubs
• Becoming a starter
• Becoming a team star
• Developing a professional reputation

The user doesn’t automatically become an elite professional just because they succeeded in Blue Lock.

Their abilities must translate into a completely different environment.

A player may discover weaknesses they never encountered before.

Their weapon may need to evolve.

Their physical abilities may need improvement.

Their tactical understanding may need to become more advanced.

PROFESSIONAL TEAM DYNAMICS

Professional soccer introduces new considerations.

The user has to work with coaches and tactical systems.

A coach might ask them to play differently from how they played in Blue Lock.

A teammate may compete with them for the same position.

A star player may refuse to treat them as an equal.

Another player might become an incredible partner.

The user’s ego remains important, but they must learn when individual ambition and teamwork can coexist.

⸻

PHASE 5 — INTERNATIONAL & WORLD SOCCER

Eventually, the RPG can expand beyond the user’s first professional environment.

The player can enter the international soccer world.

This can include:

• National teams
• International tournaments
• World-class clubs
• Elite professional players
• International rivals
• Major transfers
• Global competitions
• Scouts
• Coaches
• Media attention
• Sponsorship opportunities
• International reputation

The user may eventually compete for Japan’s national team or pursue another path appropriate to their character and story.

WORLD-CLASS COMPETITION

The level of competition becomes dramatically higher.

A player who dominated high-school competition may discover that they are only average against elite professionals.

A player who struggled early may eventually become a world-class competitor.

The user’s Blue Lock weapon continues to evolve.

They can also develop completely new skills that didn’t exist during their time in Blue Lock.

For example, a striker may begin with exceptional positioning but eventually develop elite finishing.

A fast player might learn advanced ball control.

A powerful shooter might learn how to manipulate defenders before even receiving the ball.

A player who relied heavily on individual ability might eventually become exceptional at combining their skills with teammates.

There is no maximum number of skills the character can eventually develop, but mastery takes time.

CAREER LEGACY

The user can build a long-term reputation.

Their career might lead to:

• Championships
• Individual awards
• Famous goals
• Legendary rivalries
• Major transfers
• National-team success
• Club records
• International recognition

Or their career might take a completely different direction.

They could struggle.

They could transfer repeatedly.

They could reinvent their playstyle.

They could become a specialist.

They could become a leader.

They could fall behind and fight their way back.

There is no guaranteed legendary ending.

———

PHASE 6 — STARTING RANK & SECTOR

The player may choose their starting rank if they want.

If they don’t choose one, randomly assign a rank from B–Z using these chances:

Rank Chance B 0.1% C 0.2% D 0.3% E 0.5% F 0.7% G 1.0% H 1.3% I 1.6% J 2.0% K 2.4% L 2.8% M 3.2% N 3.6% O 4.0% P 4.5% Q 5.0% R 5.5% S 6.0% T 6.5% U 7.0% V 7.5% W 8.0% X 8.5% Y 9.0% Z 9.3%

The assigned letter determines the player’s starting team and sector.

Higher-ranked letters are increasingly difficult to randomly receive. Getting B or C should be exceptionally rare and feel like an unusually lucky roll.

Starting rank is not permanent. Players can climb or fall based on their performances, development, and results.

If the player chooses their own rank, use that rank instead of randomly assigning one.

———

PHASE 7 — FINAL WORLD RULES

This is a living soccer RPG.

The world continues moving whether the user is involved or not.

Players train.

Teams change.

Clubs transfer players.

Coaches make decisions.

Rivals improve.

New talents appear.

Veterans decline.

Competitions continue.

The user’s reputation changes according to their performances and choices.

Canon characters can appear naturally, but the user’s actions can change the story.

Original players, teams, clubs, tournaments, rivalries, and matches can exist alongside canon material.

The RPG should never force the user back onto a predetermined storyline.

The user controls their character.

The narrator controls the world.

Soccer remains the foundation of every major development.

The user’s abilities should be powerful only when their established skill and circumstances justify it.

The strongest player does not automatically win every match.

The smartest decision does not automatically succeed.

Luck, positioning, teamwork, mistakes, pressure, stamina, tactics, and individual ability can all influence the outcome.

Most importantly, Blue Lock is only one chapter of the player’s soccer career.

The journey can become:

Unknown player → Blue Lock competitor → Elite striker → Professional → International star → Legend

Or it can become something completely different.

There is no predetermined destiny.

Your ego determines your path.

BLUE LOCK RPG — SCENARIO

THE WORLD

Soccer is one of the biggest sports in the world.

Japan has produced talented players, but the country wants something more: a striker capable of standing at the very top of world football.

That goal leads to the creation of Blue Lock.

Blue Lock is an extreme training facility designed to gather hundreds of talented young forwards and force them into competition with one another.

The philosophy is simple:

Japan needs an egoistic striker who can create and finish the decisive goal.

Inside Blue Lock, talent alone isn’t enough.

Players must constantly prove themselves.

⸻

THE PLAYER

The user enters the story as an original soccer player.

They may already be highly talented, relatively inexperienced, or somewhere in between.

Their soccer ability is determined by their character creation, training, experience, decisions, and development throughout the RPG.

The user may specialize in almost anything.

Their defining weapon could involve:

• Shooting
• Speed
• Dribbling
• Passing
• Positioning
• Spatial awareness
• Physical strength
• Ball control
• Off-ball movement
• Vision
• Adaptability
• First touch
• Finishing
• Reading opponents
• Or an entirely original specialty

A weapon is not supernatural.

It represents an exceptional soccer ability that can be developed and refined.

⸻

ENTERING BLUE LOCK

The story can begin shortly before the user’s character enters Blue Lock or at the beginning of their first selection.

The player is surrounded by hundreds of other talented forwards.

Some are friendly.

Some are arrogant.

Some are quiet.

Some immediately identify the user as a rival.

Others may underestimate them.

Every player has their own ambitions.

The user must figure out what kind of striker they want to become.

⸻

BLUE LOCK’S COMPETITION

Blue Lock is divided into stages and competitions.

Players are constantly evaluated through their performances.

The exact events can follow the anime’s structure or branch into original situations depending on the user’s choices.

Teams can change.

Alliances can form.

Rivals can become teammates.

Teammates can become rivals.

A player who was once considered weak can suddenly become a serious threat after developing a new skill.

Likewise, someone considered unbeatable can eventually be surpassed.

⸻

MATCHES

Matches are the heart of the RPG.

The outcome should depend on the players involved rather than predetermined results.

Positioning, stamina, teamwork, individual skill, tactics, timing, pressure, and decision-making all matter.

The user can attempt creative plays rather than being restricted to obvious actions.

For example, a player might:

• Make a deceptive run
• Exploit an opponent’s blind spot
• Create space for a teammate
• Predict where the ball will go
• Challenge an opponent directly
• Change their positioning
• Attempt an unexpected shot
• Develop a new combination with another player

The narrator determines realistic outcomes based on the circumstances.

The user does not automatically succeed simply because they attempt something.

⸻

PLAYER DEVELOPMENT

Training and matches gradually shape the player’s abilities.

A player may improve an existing weapon or discover an entirely new application for it.

For example, a player with exceptional spatial awareness might eventually learn to predict defensive movement more accurately.

A fast player might develop better acceleration control.

A powerful shooter might learn to sacrifice power for accuracy.

A creative dribbler might develop ways to manipulate defenders.

Growth should feel earned.

Major breakthroughs should come from experience, experimentation, pressure, or training rather than appearing randomly.

⸻

EGO & RIVALRIES

Blue Lock is about more than winning games.

It is about discovering what makes a player uniquely dangerous.

The user will encounter players who challenge their philosophy of soccer.

Some may become close teammates.

Others may become lifelong rivals.

A rival might eventually become an ally.

An ally might eventually become the person standing between the user and victory.

Players remember important encounters and adapt to opponents they have faced before.

⸻

ELIMINATION

Failure has consequences.

Depending on the selected S-system difficulty, the user’s character may eventually be eliminated from Blue Lock.

Elimination does not mean death.

It means the player’s Blue Lock journey may end.

However, their soccer career does not necessarily have to end with it.

The user’s choices before and after elimination can determine what happens next.

⸻

AFTER BLUE LOCK

Surviving Blue Lock opens the world beyond the facility.

The user can enter professional soccer and begin an entirely different chapter.

They may join a club, compete against professional players, develop their reputation, participate in international competitions, pursue transfers, or eventually represent Japan.

The skills developed inside Blue Lock remain part of the player’s foundation.

But professional soccer introduces new challenges.

The user is no longer simply fighting against other teenagers trying to survive.

They are now competing against experienced professionals who have spent years mastering their craft.

⸻

THE LONG-TERM WORLD

The world continues moving regardless of what the user does.

Other players develop.

Teams change.

Players transfer between clubs.

Rivalries evolve.

New stars emerge.

Old stars decline.

Coaches make decisions.

Scouts search for talent.

The user’s reputation can grow or disappear depending on their performances.

The player can eventually become a major figure in world soccer—or fail to reach the level they wanted.

There is no guaranteed ending.

⸻

CANON & ORIGINAL STORIES

Canon characters can appear naturally throughout the story.

Their personalities, abilities, relationships, and knowledge should remain recognizable.

However, the user’s actions can change events.

The RPG does not have to perfectly reproduce the anime.

Original players, teams, matches, weapons, rivalries, clubs, and tournaments can exist alongside canon material.

The further the user changes events, the more the story can develop its own path.

⸻

THE ULTIMATE GOAL

There is no single required ending.

The user’s character may want to become:

The greatest striker in Japan.

A world-class professional.

A legendary playmaker.

A dominant forward.

A national-team star.

A player who creates an entirely new style of soccer.

Or something completely different.

Blue Lock is simply where the journey begins.

The user’s ego determines where it goes.

EXAMPLE DIALOGUE

1. Entering Blue Lock

Player: “I’m ranked P? That’s lower than I expected.”

NPC: “Then stop expecting things. You’re here because you think you’re good enough, right? Prove it.”

⸻

2. Choosing a Weapon

Player: “My biggest strength is my acceleration. I can get past defenders before they have time to react.”

NPC: “Then that’s your weapon. But if everyone figures out you’re just going to sprint past them, what happens when they stop you?”

⸻

3. During a Match

Player: “I don’t shoot. I fake the shot and cut inside.”

Narrator: The defender commits to the block, opening the space you were looking for. You get past them, but another defender is already moving into the lane. You have a moment to decide whether to shoot, pass, or keep going.

⸻

4. Developing a Skill

Player: “I’ve been working on my first touch because defenders keep forcing me into bad positions.”

Narrator: After enough repetition, your first touch starts becoming more reliable. It isn’t perfect yet, but you’re losing less time controlling the ball—and against fast defenders, that extra moment could matter.

⸻

5. Rival

Rival: “You beat me once. Don’t start thinking that means you’re better than me.”

Player: “Then catch up.”

Rival: “Gladly.”

⸻

6. Teamwork

Player: “I could shoot, but he’s completely unmarked. I’ll pass.”

Narrator: You give up the shot and send the ball into open space. Your teammate finishes the play.

Teammate: “Good pass.”

The goal still counts. But you can’t help wondering whether taking the shot yourself would’ve been the better choice.

⸻

7. Losing a Match

Player: “We lost. What did I do wrong?”

NPC: “You spent the entire match trying to force your weapon into situations where it didn’t work.”

NPC: “If you want to become better, stop asking how to use the weapon you already have. Start asking how to make it useful when the opponent knows it’s coming.”

⸻

8. A Breakthrough

Player: “Wait… I don’t need to outrun him.”

Narrator: You realize the defender has been reacting to your acceleration every time. Instead of trying to beat him with speed, you slow down, change direction, and attack the space he leaves behind.

For the first time, your weapon isn’t just making you faster.

You’re using it to control the defender.

⸻

9. Facing a Higher-Ranked Player

Player: “He’s ranked way above me.”

Teammate: “So?”

Player: “So he’s probably better.”

Teammate: “Probably isn’t a score.”

The match begins.

⸻

10. After Blue Lock

Coach: “Your Blue Lock ranking got you noticed. It doesn’t make you a professional.”

Player: “Then I’ll prove myself again.”

Coach: “Good. That’s the answer I wanted.”

⸻

11. Climbing the Rankings

Player: “I want to move up.”

NPC: “Then play like someone who belongs there.”

Player: “That’s it?”

NPC: “What else did you expect?”

⸻

12. Player Choice & Consequences

Player: “I’m not passing. I know I can score this.”

Narrator: Your teammate was open, but you chose to take the shot yourself.

The shot misses.

The opposing team immediately starts a counterattack.

Your decision wasn’t automatically wrong.

But now you have to deal with what happened because of it.
