The world of Blue Lock is fascinating because it blends fiction and reality . Many of the characters are reminiscent of world football stars. Here's a look at some of the most obvious inspirations.

Julian Loki: Kylian Mbappé

Julian Loki embodies speed and composure in front of goal. His style of play and aura are directly reminiscent of Kylian Mbappé , the star of the French national team and PSG, known for his unstoppable acceleration.

Isagi Yoichi as Filippo Inzaghi

Blue Lock's protagonist, Isagi, is inspired by Filippo Inzaghi , the legendary Italian striker. Like him, he excels in positioning and goal-scoring instincts, always in the right place at the right time.

Bachira Meguru as Ronaldinho

Bachira, with his creativity and unpredictable dribbling, is a direct reminder of Ronaldinho . Just like the Brazilian star, he plays with a smile, unleashes his imagination on the pitch and surprises his opponents with his technical skills.

Shidou Ryusei as Zlatan Ibrahimovic

Shidou, provocative and arrogant, strongly resembles Zlatan . Same “King” posture, same physical power, and above all the same absolute confidence in his abilities.

Barou Shoei: Mario Balotelli

Barou is often seen as the selfish “King” of the Blue Lock. His temperament, power and individualism are reminiscent of Mario Balotelli , a talented but unpredictable player who always played by his own rules.
