Fans will have options when deciding whether to go to the theater to watch Blue Lock The Movie: Episode Nagi or wait for it to start streaming at home.
Set in the world of the Blue Lock anime, the Episode Nagi film adapts the manga of the same name. It tells the story of one of the show's side characters, Seishiro Nagi, a soccer prodigy invited to join the hyper-exclusive program for the best attackers in the world known as the Blue Lock Project.
The Episode Nagi manga debuted in October 2022 and has been ongoing since, with a fourth volume of the Blue Lock side story set to release in July.

Can I Stream Blue Lock The Movie: Episode Nagi Online?
Blue Lock The Movie: Episode Nagi was not available to stream online at the time of its theatrical release. However, that will not always be the case.
No streaming release date has been public for the anticipated adaptation. Still, anime streaming platform Crunchyroll detailed its plans to bring the movie to the service at some point in the future.
In April, it was announced that the streamer would acquire the North American distribution rights to the film, which would then be screened in theaters before eventually being made available for streaming.
Typically, these deals see the movie hit the platform within a few months of its North American theatrical debut. One can assume things will work similarly for Episode Nagi.
If that is the case, a streaming release sometime before the end of the summer or into early fall would make sense for the soccer-themed anime movie.
And with a second season of Blue Lock set for an October 2024 release, getting the movie out before then on streaming could serve as the perfect appetizer to Season 2.
Blue Lock The Movie: Episode Nagi is playing in theaters in the U.S. and Canada.
