Reiji Kageyama was a Royal Academy coach , a power - quest and ruthless villain who only like about winning and would do anything from sabotage to playing dirty to manipulating and harm others .
Blue Lock ’s Ray Dark ’s plan is very like to Reiji Kageyama ’s other identity , Astero Black fromInazuma Eleven Go Galaxy , with both fibre being old manpower with long lily-white hair , a salient nose , and a beard .

DespiteBlue Lockbeing more realistic thanInazuma Eleven , which mixes football and science fiction , neither series follow the traditional norms of sports anime , as every character has special move that find more like major power from an action series . Inazuma Elevenwas the groundbreaker battle shōnen series mask as a sports Zanzibar copal , which sure enough inspiredBlue Lock ’s particular approach to football game .
