Only those characters whose heights are officially known have been considered for the list. Although there might be some characters in the anime who do seem taller than the ones mentioned here, as long as their heights cannot be verified from credible sources, they have not been included in this ranking to ensure accuracy and reliability in comparison.

The upcoming arc is expected to take the series to new heights and introduce new faces who will change the way Isagi and his peers play football forever. The updated list includes a few more tall Blue Lock characters, who also coincidentally happen to play crucial roles in the overall narrative.

Rin Itoshi is a rare talent, capable of competing against the best strikers in the world in his age group. He is able to sprint at decent speeds on the pitch when the circumstances necessitate and dribble past skilled defenders with relative ease. His tall height gives him a reach to outmaneuver his rivals and also grants him the ability to excel in using headers or jump shots to his advantage.

You guys don’t learn at all, do you? I’m staking my life on each moment here.

It should not come as a surprise that Rin Itoshi is rated highly by Jinpachi Ego. Even in the Neo Egoist League, he often appears unstoppable on his day, frequently making a mark whenever he is on the field.

Height: 187 cm / 6 feet 2 inches

Zantetsu is a talented footballer who thrives on the field because of his explosive acceleration and left-foot shooting.

Very few footballers at the facility match his raw speed and agility, making Zantetsu a unique player that every team would like to have in their lineup.

11

Shoei Baro

Height: 187 cm / 6 feet 2 inches

• Manga Debut: Chapter 5
• Anime Debut: Episode 1
• Position: Forward, Right Wing

Arguably the most gifted player in Blue Lock, Shoei Baro is an arrogant and dominating striker who strives to outperform everyone on the field at all times. His unconventional playing style is so bizarre that it is next to impossible to predict his strategy when he is playing in the flow state. In fact, Baro does not hesitate to steal the ball from his own teammates to score the goal himself, which encapsulates his relentless hunger for glory.

Baro is extremely strong and also towers over most footballers on the field. Using his dominant physicality, he is able to generate superhuman strength in his middle shots, making them almost impossible to stop.

Rensuke Kunigami

Height: 188 cm / 6 feet 2 inches

Kunigami’s tall stature also comes in handy, especially in man-marking, which allows him to push forwards to rethink their game. In the Neo Egoist League, he is even able to trouble the best strikers on the field and score beautiful goals by taking advantage of his height.

Jinpachi Ego

Height: 189 cm / 6 feet 2 inches

• Manga Debut: Chapter 1

He is also the director and the brains behind Japan’s Blue Lock Project, which is aimed at creating an egotistical striker that will lead the national football team on the world stage.

Football is, at its core, a sport about scoring goals even at the expense of your teammates. The best player is the one that scores the most.

Despite endless doubts and uncertainties surrounding the Japanese Football Union-funded project, Ego not only exudes confidence from day one but also goes on to prove that his mentees are good enough to challenge the best footballers from around the world. Jinpachi is a strict but fair mentor who knows how to make players surpass their limits by constantly redefining what’s within their reach.

Seishiro Nagi

Height: 190 cm / 6 feet 3 inches

• Manga Debut: Chapter 22, titled “Until This Fire Burns Out”
• Anime Debut: Episode 1, titled “Dream”
• Position: Forward, Right Wing, Offensive Midfielder, and Goalkeeper

Blue Lock facility brings some of the most talented strikers from all over Japan under the same roof, but very few are as gifted as Seishiro Nagi. At one point, he was a lazy and unmotivated teenager, but that changed dramatically as he started competing with other players at the facility. Soon, Nagi underwent a transformation and found himself competing to be the best in the world.

This is the first time I’ve felt like this, and in order for me to understand this frustration, I want to play football with this guy. I want to try to put in some effort.

As mentioned earlier, Nagi is a gifted footballer whose ball control is superior to almost everyone at Blue Lock. Seishiro has also demonstrated that he can enter the flow state and use multiple weapons together to score seemingly impossible goals. During the match against Bastard München, he scores what many describe as the goal of the century by performing a five-shot revolver fake volley. The goal is so beautiful that Jinpachi argues that it will never be recreated.

7

Oliver Aiku

Height: 190 cm / 6 feet 3 inches

• Manga Debut: Chapter 110, titled “Newcomer
• Anime Debut: Episode 25, titled “Tryouts
• Position: Center Back, Forward

Oliver Aiku wanted to become the best striker in the world from a young age, but his dream was sabotaged by a lack of proper guidance. He eventually made up his mind that he would instead become the best defender in the world and successfully got into Italy’s Ubers, where he plays as a center-back. He is a skilled footballer who intelligently uses his understanding of a striker’s mindset to read the game and anticipate attacking moves.

People often liken Strikers as Robbers, and Defenders as Cops. So, on my watch, I ain’t letting no Robbers steal any goals.

Oliver is one of the few footballers gifted with metavision and the ability to enter the flow state at will. Furthermore, his spatial awareness and sharp reflexes make him an enigma for the opponents, leaving the strikers frustrated as he appears like an impenetrable wall that they can’t break through.

6

Gen Fukaku

Height: 191 cm / 6 feet 3 inches

• Manga Debut: Chapter 112, titled “Grand Stage”
• Anime Debut: Episode 29, titled “Flow”
• Position: Goalkeeper

Standing at 191 cm or 6 feet 3 inches, Gen Fukaku is a goalkeeper. He plays for the Japan U20 team and later joined the Ubers, one of Europe’s best football teams.

Unlike most footballers whose game rely on difficult skills, Gen’s greatest weapon is his domineering physique, using which he becomes a formidable presence on the field. Using his height, he can defend a vast area of the net, making it extremely hard to score a goal against his team.

5

Gin Gagamaru

Height: 191 cm / 6 feet 3 inches

• Manga Debut: Chapter 1, titled “Dream”
• Anime Debut: Episode 1, titled “Dream”
• Position: Goalkeeper and Forward

Gin Gagamaru is a dedicated team man and reliable friend who, unlike most players at Blue Lock, is willing to put the team’s success over his personal goals selflessly. Although he joined Jinpachi’s project to become the best striker in the world, when the situation demanded, he had no qualms about putting on the gloves and playing as a goalkeeper. It soon became evident that Gin had the natural reflexes and body for the role, and he could prove to be a highly effective goalkeeper.

My greatest weapon is my close-quarter plays.

Gagamaru is gifted with ultra reflexes that allow him to perform last-second headers and unconventional movements on the field that are hard to anticipate. He is also quite flexible and has pushed himself to the extreme by scoring a Scorpion kick during a crucial match. Gin is also one of the few people in Blue Lock who eventually learn to enter the flow state consciously. In the Neo Egoist League, he plays for Germany’s Bastard München as a goalkeeper.

Kento Cho

Height: 193 cm / 6 feet 4 inches

• Manga Debut: Chapter 112, titled “Grand Stage”
• Anime Debut: Episode 29, titled “Flow”
• Position: Left Winger

Kento Cho is a sharp and lanky player from Japan’s U20 team who goes on to play for Paris X Gen, a French professional football club. Born on August 19, he is a left winger and plays an attacking role in the team by utilizing his agility and quick decision-making.

3

Dada Silva

Height: 195 cm / 6 feet 4 inches

• Manga Debut: Chapter 87, titled “Luck”
• Anime Debut: Episode 23, titled “Luck”

Perhaps his most intimidating weapon is his high jumping power, which makes him seem invincible on the field. Dada’s jumping headers and raid dive headers are virtually unstoppable. His aerial dominance, coupled with his intimidating physicality, makes him a nightmare for defenders.

2

Jyubei Aryu

Height: 195 cm / 6 feet 5 inches

• Manga Debut: Chapter 1, titled “Dream”
• Anime Debut: Episode 1, titled “Dream”
• Position: Forward and Center Back

Jyubei is an eccentric striker who cares deeply about aesthetics and style. His skill inside the penalty area is second to none, and he knows how to convert even half-chances into goals flawlessly. Since Aryu is quite tall, he uses it to his advantage and positions himself smartly to intercept the ball before his opponents.

It’s settled. On this field right now, I’m the most stylish.

Aryu also jumps higher than most players at Blue Lock and, because of his height, easily receives long-range passes. This makes him extremely dangerous in the six-yard box. Furthermore, Jyubei employs his long-range to control the game and score goals from unexpected angles. He has also demonstrated that he can use his long limbs for defensive purposes when his team needs support.

Yukio Ishikari
