Liverpool FC has a long history of connecting with fans beyond the pitch.

From global tours to special edition jerseys, the club finds ways to engage supporters in unique ways.

But this time, it’s something different.

In recent years, anime has become a massive part of pop culture worldwide.

Sports anime, in particular, has gained huge popularity, with Blue Lock leading the charge.

The anime focuses on intense competition and self-improvement, something every football fan can relate to.

Liverpool FC recognizes this passion, and now, they’ve found a way to bring anime and football together in a way never seen before.

Liverpool create Blue Lock anime mural

Liverpool FC has unveiled a brand-new mural featuring characters from Blue Lock.

This is part of a collaboration with Blue Lock and publisher Kodansha, known as Unleash the Ultimate Reds.

The artwork blends Liverpool’s real-world stars with Blue Lock’s fictional footballers, creating a striking visual that celebrates the spirit of the game.

Kodansha explained the idea behind the crossover when it was first announced, “In this thrilling collaboration between Blue Lock, Kodansha’s hit manga series, and Liverpool FC, fan-favorite characters, Isagi Yoichi, Kunigami Rensuke, Nagi Seishiro, Chigiri Hyoma, and Bachira Meguru, step onto the pitch in Liverpool FC’s iconic kit.”

“With their fierce determination and unique skills, these players aim to make the strongest Reds even stronger, embodying the relentless spirit and teamwork that define both Blue Lock and Liverpool FC.”

The partnership is more than just a cool design.

Kodansha added, “This partnership between Blue Lock and Liverpool FC goes beyond football and manga; it’s a celebration of ambition, teamwork, and the drive to inspire.”

“Join us as Blue Lock turns red in ‘Inspire Impossible Stories’, where passion and storytelling bring us all closer together.”

This isn’t the first time Blue Lock has entered the football world.

The manga’s artist, Yusuke Nomura, previously designed a jersey for Japan’s national team in the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

Now, Liverpool FC is embracing the anime’s energy, showing once again why they are one of the most forward-thinking clubs in world football.
