Blue Castle: The age, height and birthday of each main character
Blue Lock features an exciting story and a fantastic cast. Here is the age, height and birthday of each main character.
While being tall isn't a requirement for triumph in the world of soccer, several players in the series use it to their advantage, dominating the field in ways others can only dream of. In this article, we take a look at some of these players and rank them according to their height.
8 Seishiro Nagi
Height: 190cm / 6ft 3in
- Manga debut: Chapter 22 titled “Until This Fire Burns Out”
- Anime debut: Episode 1 titled “The Dream”
- Position: Striker, Right Wing, Attacking Midfielder and Goalkeeper
The Blue Lock facility brings some of the most talented strikers from all over Japan under one roof, but very few are as gifted as Seishiro Nagi. At one point he was a lazy and unmotivated teenager, but that changed dramatically when he started competing with other players in the facility. Soon Nagi underwent a transformation and found himself competing to be the best in the world.
This is the first time I have felt this way and to understand this frustration, I want to play football with this boy. I want to try to make some effort.
As mentioned, Nagi is a gifted footballer whose ball control is better than almost anyone in the Blue Lock. Seishiro has also shown that he can enter a state of flow and use multiple weapons together to score seemingly impossible goals. During a match against Bastard München, he scores what many call the goal of the century by performing a fake five-shot volley from a revolver. The goal is so beautiful that Jinpachi claims it will never be recreated.
7 Oliver Aik
Height: 190cm / 6ft 3in
- Manga debut: Chapter 110 titled “Rookie
- Anime debut: Episode 25 titled “Trials
- 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. Ultimately, he decided to become the best defender in the world instead and successfully made his way to Italy's Ubers, where he plays as a central defender. He is a skilled footballer who intelligently uses his understanding of the attacker's mindset to read the game and anticipate attacking moves.
People often equate Strikers as robbers and Defenders as cops. So, on my patrols, I won't let any robbers steal the goals.
Oliver is one of the few footballers gifted with metavision and the ability to enter a flow state at will. Additionally, his spatial awareness and sharp reflexes make him an enigma to opponents, leaving attackers frustrated as he looks like an impenetrable wall that they cannot break through.
6 Gen Fukaku
Height: 191cm / 6ft 3in
- Manga debut: Chapter 112 titled “Grand Stage”
- Anime debut: Episode 29 titled “Flow”

Blue Castle: Worst Players, Ranked
Not all Blue Lock players are created equal. For various reasons, these are the worst of all.
Unlike most footballers, whose game depends on difficult skills, Geno's greatest weapon is his commanding personality, which helps him become a formidable presence on the pitch. Due to his height, he can defend a large area of the net, making it extremely difficult to score a goal against his team.
5 Gagamaru's Gin
Height: 191cm / 6ft 3in
- Manga debut: Chapter 1 titled “The Dream”

Gin Gagamaru is a dedicated team man and reliable friend who, unlike most players in Blue Lock, is willing to selflessly put the team's success above his own personal goals. Although he joined Jinpachi's project to become the best striker in the world, when the situation called for it, he had no qualms about donning the gloves and playing as a goalkeeper. It soon became apparent that Gin had the natural reflexes and body for the role and could prove to be a highly effective goalkeeper.
My biggest weapon is melee.
Gagamaru is gifted with ultra-reflexes that allow him to perform last-second headers and unconventional moves on the pitch that are hard to predict. He is also quite flexible and was taken to the extreme by scoring a Scorpion kick during a key match. Gin is also one of the few people in Blue Lock who eventually learns 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: 193cm / 6ft 4in
- Manga debut: Chapter 112 titled “Grand Stage”
- Anime debut: Episode 29 titled “Flow”
- Position: Left wing
Kento Cho is a sharp and lean player from the Japan Under-20 team who plays for Paris X Gen, a French professional soccer club. Born on August 19, he is a left winger and fills an attacking role in the team by using his agility and quick decision-making. His best weapon is his tall height, which allows him to dictate play during the post-play.
3 Dada Silva
Height: 195cm / 6ft 4in
- Manga debut: Chapter 87 titled “Luck”

It's settled. I am now the most stylish in this field.
Aryu also jumps higher than most players in Blue Lock, and his height makes it easy to receive long range passes. This makes him extremely dangerous in the six-yard box. In addition, Jyubei uses his long reach to control play and score goals from unexpected angles. He has also shown that he can use his long limbs for defensive purposes when his team needs support.
