Muneyuki Kaneshiro’s Blue Lock recounts the story of Japan’s most talented forwards competing to become the best striker in the world with the hope of helping Japan lift the World Cup trophy for the first time. The players come from different backgrounds and are gifted with unique abilities and traits that make them stand out.

While being tall is not a condition for triumph in the world of football, several players in the series use it to their advantage, dominating the pitch in ways that others can only dream of. In this article, we look at some of these players and rank them based on their height.

8 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 in 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.

4 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. His best weapon is his tall height, which allows him to dictate the game during post-play.

3 Dada Silva

Height: 195 cm / 6 feet 4 inches

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

One of the best footballers in the world and a member of the Brazilian national football team, Dada Silva is an arrogant and ruthless striker who looks down on other players. With a strong physique, he likes to control the game and impose his will on defenders, who stand no chance against him in one-on-one confrontations.

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.

1 Yukio Ishikari

Height: 200 cm / 6 feet 7 inches

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

Yuki Ishikari is a talented footballer who joins the Blue Lock project to make his mark on the professional footballing world. Considered the tallest youth player in Japan in his age group, Ishikari puts his advantage to good use and turns it into a useful weapon. Since he towers over every other player on the field, his vertical jumps are a nightmare for the defenders.

Yuki also uses his height advantage to intercept the ball with his headers and position himself strategically to lead an attack on the opposition. In the Neo Egoist League, he plays for the professional Italian football team known as Ubers.
