They often spent time together between games, supported each other. For example: Chigiri joined Kunigami during training to help with the leg care. Kunigami took care of Chigiri: for example, in the episode "Extra Time," he offered him a headband to help him style his hair and brought him a bottle of water without asking. During the second selection, Chigiri and Kunigami decided to team up with Reo Mikage to face Isagi's team. After being defeated by Isagi's team, Chigiri told Kunigami that he would wait for him to defeat Isagi together, as they had promised earlier.

The entrance exam to Blue Lock wherein the 300 participants are divided into 25 groups of 12 people and every 12 people are held in a large room where they play a game of tag with a football with whomever being the last person to get hit by or having possession of the ball being "it". Whoever was it when 136 second time limit ran out would be disqualified from Blue Lock. Once that person is eliminated the remaining 11 people form a "team" and proceed to the next selection. If they refused to play, then the lowest ranked person on the team was on the chopping block by default. The game takes place in an arena the same size as a penalty area, which is where most goals are made. First Selection: Round-robin Group League Match (一次選考「総当たりグループリーグマッチ」)

Twenty-five teams are divided into five team groups to perform a round-robin tournament, the top two teams of each group will survive and move on, and the remaining three teams of the group are disqualified and forced out. However, the top strikers of each of the three teams disqualified get to survive as well. Second Selection: Rivalry Battle (二次選考「奪敵決戦ライバルリー・バトル」)

On December 30, 2018[2], a player battle selection broken into 5 stages: 1st Stage: The artificial intelligence hologram GK [BLUE LOCK MAN system] is introduced, and it is necessary for players to achieve 100 goals in 90 minutes alone against the hologram goalkeeper. The difficulty of this stage adjusts as the number of goals scored increases, and there are stages from "Lv.1," "Lv.2," to "Lv.MAX." Only those who have cleared this stage can proceed to the 2nd stage. 2nd Stage: Those who have cleared the first stage, now must divide into teams of three and battle other teams in a 3v3 game to reach 5 in the 3rd stage. Teams that lose in the 3rd stage come back to the 2nd stage to face off in a 2v2 game where one person is eliminated from Blue Lock. The rankings are now based on the order in which the participants cleared the first stage.

Project blue lock The Blue Lock Project (青い監獄ブルーロックプロジェクト, Burū Rokku Purojekuto?), or Player Improvement Project, is a special soccer project created by Jinpachi Ego and funded by the Japan Football Union with the intention of developing not only the best striker in the world, but a solitary hero for Japan that would lead the nation into finally winning the World Cup using Ego's extreme training regimens and coaching. Additionally, anyone who loses at Blue Lock would forever lose the right to play for Japan.

The project takes place in a facility known as Blue Lock. At the start, Blue Lock gathered 300 high school players and upon reaching Blue Lock, they were divided up into 25 teams, 12 players each. Initially, Blue Lock players are made to believe that the teams are designated B through Z, with team B being the best of the best in building 1 and team Z being the weakest in building 5. This is not actually the case, however; in truth, there is only building 5 and teams B through U don't exist, instead there are five iterations of teams V through Z, and all of them were told that they were the among the lowest ranks in Blue Lock. This was done because many of the best players in the world are people who were raised in poverty and used the game as their escape to a better life. Scoring equals survival. The Japanese players in Blue Lock did not have this mentality and had to be re-educated.

Immeasurable Speed: Chigiri has naturally strong leg muscles and expert footwork, which enables him to run down the field at incredible speeds. Chigiri has sped past Oliver Aiku, the Japan U-20's defensive anchor. This speed, combined with his perception and awareness of positioning, enables him to choose the appropriate breakthrough point in an opponent's defense and to speed through. In addition to this, Chigiri has demonstrated the ability to directly kick the ball and follow it, resulting in a wide dribble that can break apart an enemy's formation. Long-Distance Sprinting: While Chigiri may not have explosive acceleration like Zantetsu or Shido, he is by far faster over long distances, stated to cover 50 m in 5.77 seconds[20]. Chigiri makes use of this weapon by "passing" to himself, sending the ball a long distance ahead of him (around 50 meters) and running to pick it up. As a result, he is able to break through even the tightest of defenses with relative ease. No-Break Dribble: Instead of trapping a pass, Chigiri bounces the ball forward without stopping his run. He then runs at breakneck speeds with the ball in tow and, during the sprint, accelerates even faster without losing momentum from adjustment; anyone trying to stop him or defend the goal couldn't hinder him. This dribbling style was created due to his weakness of slowing down after getting ball possession. High-Speed Pressure: Chigiri is able to utilize his speed in a defensive manner by quickly moving across the field to hound whoever is in possession of the ball. This pressure can force errors in opponents and easily allow Chigiri's team to set up traps. Jungle Jam Run: Rather than a wide area where he excels, Chigiri runs straight through a crowded area while making swift turns. He does this to draw his opponents into the center of the field so that his teammates can move freely through the sides. Double Wing Boost: By combining his speed with Zantetsu's, he sprints at top speed and trades short

Archetypes

Forwards: Also known as strikers, have the main objective of scoring goals. They are often the players who get the most attention since their role is designed to be in a scoring position. They also take part in penalty kicks and corner kicks when the opposing team kicks the ball out of bounds. They are normally the players in charge of starting off the game at the start and halftime. Counter Attacker: Counter attackers are any attacking player that uses their pace to beat defenders and cause unexpected scoring opportunities at any time. They also need some degree of shooting skill. Counterattacking opportunities occur when the opposition are themselves attacking a team with most of their players forward. A counterattack happens when the ball is won back and is quickly played into space for a counterattacking player to run onto or where a player takes the ball themselves and runs with pace into a sparsely defended opposition half. Chigiri's natural physical disposition allows him to run at incredible speeds compared to most players, and along with his great focus, he is able to keep control of the ball and his speed while moving through tight spaces, between players, and switching between dribbling and passing seamlessly. After training with Manshine City, Chigiri more carefully decides where he is going to cut and run, as Chigiri now aims for his ideal shooting zone using his refined speed and dribbling instead of blindly charging into the penalty area as fast as possible.

Chigiri is a confident and driven individual who loves surpassing others on the field. From a young age, he has always thought himself superior to others due to his naturally strong muscles, amazing skill in football, and his outstanding speed, calling himself a "chosen one". He looked down on those who got in his way or annoyed him but was mostly behaved as though stating facts. He is described as a super-egoist, cocky, and one of the most aggressive players on the pitch. Only when he tore his ACL did his sense of superiority start to crumble, and due to the Wanima Brothers (Junichi Wanima and Keisuke Wanima) bullying him, he became afraid of playing football for fear of losing "who he is". He was so fearful of this that he accepted the invitation to Blue Lock to find a reason to give up rather than continue to strive for his dream. But after retaking a hold of his ego and ambition, he has shown himself to be a persistent and stubborn force on the field.

Chigiri is a young man with reddish pink hair and deep pink eyes. Chigiri has always had a very feminine face since he was young, as shown by his long eyelashes and soft facial features. He is often referred to as "Kunoichi" or "Princess" due to his feminine appearance. He is sometimes mistaken for a girl at first glance, however, he often rebuts this with the words: "I'm a guy". He has been praised by other players for being attractive, though he seems indifferent to such comments. He looks very similar to his mother and older sister. Chigiri's hair had been only neck length until he tore the ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) in his right leg, after which he let it grow out. Chigiri's hair currently goes past his shoulders and has one long bang that sweeps to the right side of his face. During games, he braids the left side of his hair so that it doesn't get in his face. At Blue Lock, Chigiri wears the standard-issued body suit (black with gray stripes) and tracksuit. During the First Selection, he wore Team Z's blue #4 jersey and wears Team Z's gray-capped cleats. During Second Selection, he wore Team Red's #44 jersey and that later switched to white when Chigiri joined Isagi's team. During the Third Selection, he wears Team B's #44 white jersey. It is not until the match against the Japan U-20 does Chigiri don an official blue and black Blue Lock player uniform with the #4 on it.
