Blue Lock Season 1 was quite successful in storytelling, having a diverse cast that impressed audiences around every turn. Though it took a little misstep in CGI here and there, the show took fans into a world of high stakes where only the elite strikers could survive. Every match was heart-pounding and thrillingly, pieced together to keep any viewer on the edge of their seat.
To put it simply, this first season was an anime masterclass that truly left fans flabbergasted to see what’s next, but at the same time raised the bar really high for its successor to live up to.
Trusted Sources Suggest That Blue Lock Season 2 May Not Live Up To Expectations

This source has an exemplary record of accuracy in prior reporting and is one of the most reliable in this community. With a reputation like theirs for knowing inside information, their words hold significant weight. And if the next season does indeed fall, fans will be left wondering why. So below is what we have got for its reason so far.
Blue Lock Season 2 May Have Serious Pacing Issues
There are certain rumors that it may feel a bit rushed to audiences in the case of the adaptation for Blue Lock Season 2, or its pacing could be quite uneven. Reportedly, the second season will adapt a far greater number of chapters from the manga than the first one had with roughly the same episode count as the first one.
As this YouTube video also pointed out, Season 1 adapted 38 chapters within its first 12 episodes, and Season 2 reportedly intends to adapt 56 chapters in the same episode count, which is a great leap in content. This kind of pacing would more or less blur everything that made Season 1 interesting in terms of tension and character development.
Despite such a situation, fans have still kept their fingers crossed for Season 2. True enthusiasts chose to stay more focused on the positives so that even with such a pace, the showrunners could balance it out and come up with another exciting season. Fingers are crossed, and the community of Blue Lock is eagerly waiting with bated breath for Season 2 to start with a fair continuation of the previous season while supporting the show and the characters.
Blue Lock season 1 is available to watch on Crunchyroll.
