Blue Lock challenges traditional views on sportsmanship by introducing a highly competitive and cut-throat approach to soccer. In the story, players are pitted against each other in intense and often brutal competitions, where the focus is solely on individual performance and success rather than teamwork or fair play. This emphasis on self-centeredness and ruthless tactics goes against the typical values of sportsmanship, which prioritize camaraderie, respect for opponents, and fair play. By showcasing extreme and controversial methods to achieve victory, Blue Lock forces readers to reconsider what it means to be a true sportsman in the world of competitive sports.
