Operation Blue Lock is real because Japan two goals against Spain in the World Cup are exact copies of goals from football anime, including the controversial second goal with the jersey emulating the anime as well
After beating Germany in their first game, the Japanese men’s national team beat Spain last night, December 1, to move on to the last 16 of the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
Both of Japan’s goals against Spain are now going viral because they are almost the same as goals scored by Team Z in the Blue Lock anime that is still going on.

Japan’s goals against Spain on December 1 are almost exact copies of the goals Team Z has scored so far in the anime Blue Lock. In episode 3 of the Blue Lock anime ‘Soccer’s Zero’, Isagi is driven to pass the ball to his left as his team are currently losing to Team X 5-0.
Rensuke Kunigami, a fellow Blue Lock prisoner with orange hair, runs after the pass and scores with a left-footed shot from outside the box that the goalkeeper just barely misses with his arms stretched out.
Ritsu Doan, who also has orange hair, did the same thing when Japan scored its first goal against Spain. He cut in from the right and scored a brilliant long-shot goal with his left foot that the keeper almost caught.
Second Goal is The Real Mirror Strike From Blue Lock
But the second goal in the game between Japan and Spain is the real “mirror strike.” This is the now-famous goal in which the ball appeared to cross the goal line before it was pushed into the net.
In the fourth episode of the Blue Lock anime, “Premonition and Intuition,” the time is running out and Isagi is right on target. When his shot goes wide and looks like it will go out for a goal kick, it seems like all hope is lost. However, Gin Gagamaru keeps the ball in play and scores from a very tight angle around the post.

Japan’s winning goal against Spain was a strange mirror image of this goal by Gagamaru. Instead of Gagamaru, it was substitute Mitoma. Who kept the ball in play by just a few millimetres as Tanaka scored their second goal.
Japan Against Croatia Now
After a crazy 2-1 win over Spain, Japan is through to the next round along with Spain, but they are the winners of Group E. Now, Japan will play Croatia in the 16th round, which will happen on Monday, December 5. On Tuesday, December 6, Spain will play Morocco.
In celebration of the historic win. The Blue Lock mangaka published another special illustration from the series with the caption, “Break through the historic first place! ! The best one is the one from Japan. Croatia next! ! Best 8 right now!”
