46 free Blue Lock trivia questions with answers. Blue Lock takes 300 high-school strikers, locks them in a facility and tells them only the biggest ego survives. This quiz covers the manga and the anime from Yoichi Isagi's first days in Team Z to the Neo Egoist League: the 2018 World Cup failure that starts it all, Jinpachi Ego and Anri Teieri, the First and Second Selections, and the players who define the series. Expect questions on Bachira's monsters, Chigiri's speed, Kunigami's Wild Card return, Barō's cleaning habit, Nagi and Reo's partnership and its collapse, Rin and Sae Itoshi, Shidou's U-20 goals, Kaiser's Impact and Ness's passes, plus the creators, the studio, the opening themes, the Kodansha award, the sales figures, the Episode Nagi film, the live-action movie and the real-world collaborations with FC Tokyo, Liverpool and Concacaf.
