Blue Lock manga’s illustrator, Yusuke Nomura, dropped a celebratory illustration featuring Yoichi Isagi on his official Twitter handle, to commemorate Japan’s iconic win against Germany in their FIFA World Cup 2022 opening match.
Japan’s win led to ‘Blue Lock’ taking twitter by storm.
“I didn’t expect Blue Lock to be trending too…! I’m too happy, thank you 🙇,” Nomura tweeted in his account.
Japan played against Germany on Nov 23, 2022.
The trademark blue color jersey is simple and plain, with an origami motif.
Nomura had previously said that he would be very happy “if many people become interested in soccer through Blue Lock, and I hope that this project will serve as an entry point for people to become familiar with the sport,”
