# Where to Watch Blue Lock: Episode Nagi

**Blue Lock: Episode Nagi streams on Crunchyroll, and it's the side-story film that replays Blue Lock's opening chapter through the eyes of its coolest prodigy. Instead of following Isagi, it rewinds to Seishirou Nagi, a gifted slacker who'd never bothered with soccer, and shows how a single friendship pulled him into the game and, eventually, into Blue Lock's ruthless striker war.**

## Where to Watch

- [Crunchyroll](https://www.crunchyroll.com/watch/GVWU8N5DG/blue-lock-the-movie--episode-nagi-)

Crunchyroll is where the film lives in the West, the same place that streams the main Blue Lock series, so it slots neatly next to the show it retells. Because it's a companion piece rather than a sequel, watch it alongside or just after the first season rather than saving it for later.

## Synopsis

For Seishirou Nagi, everything is a hassle, a bored high-schooler coasting through a life with the volume turned down, until classmate Reo Mikage spots the freakish talent hiding in his indifference. Reo, who dreams of lifting the World Cup, decides he's found the partner who can get him there and drags Nagi off the couch and onto the pitch. What starts as one boy's whim becomes Nagi's discovery of a game that finally makes him feel something, carrying the pair into the do-or-die crucible of Blue Lock. The film retraces the program's early stages from Nagi's perspective, recasting moments series fans know through the mind of its most laid-back genius.
