BLUE LOCK © 2018 by Kaneshiro Muneyuki and Nomura Yuusuke/KODANSHA.

On April 3, 2026, we get a glimpse of Volume 38′s extra content

Volume 38 has 8 chapters and contains a lot of bonus content including an additional time skit of kaiser seeing a Isagi U-20 Japan billboard

Of note, Hugo’s chains are symbolic of his pursuit of becoming No. 2 as the golden chains, defining his excellent performance and aptitude, turn silver, both because of his mindset requiring him to defy the gold standard of the world and at the same time the potential pitfalls of such a philosophy cementing him up to there, as the silver is a sign of rusting on the chain.

Blue Lock fits this because all the players are aiming for gold and gold is more common than silver but it needs to be tested constantly to maintain purity.

Vivien Hugo

Birthday: June 6

Age: 19

Name: Vivian Hugo

Birthplace: Lyon, France

Zodiac Sign: Gemini

Blood Type: B

Height: 187 cm

Shoe Size: 29 cm

Dominant Foot: Right

Family: Father, mother, older sister, myself

Affiliated Team: Arsenal

Favorite Football Player: Patrick Vieira

Age I Started Football: 2 years old

Motto: Aptitude is destiny. Live your destiny, then life will shine.

Favorite Color: Destiny Bordeaux

Hobbies: Self-reading. Reading blank books with nothing written in them. While staring at them, I can dialogue with my current self and organize my thoughts.

Favorite Animal: Papillon (in France, both butterflies and moths are called papillon).

Favorite Season: Winter. I like long sleeves.

Something That Makes Me Happy: Having my ideas accepted. Won’t you also try seeing aptitude as destiny?

Something That Makes Me Sad: Abandoning one’s aptitude.

Favorite Food: Éclairs. I like them because they test the pastry chef’s skill. Éclairs are “chocolate on chocolate,” so it’s a mismatch but still delicious.

Disliked Food: Avocado. It’s mushy and smells like grass. I hate it because it feels like eating something that has already been swallowed and brought back up.

Favorite Movie: Life Is Beautiful

Favorite Manga: Cyborg 009 (“And now, all that’s left is courage!”). I don’t know any words that beat that line yet.

So apparently, the blank book exists for aura farming.

Vivien is a unisex name from the Latin Vivianus, which means “living”.

Meanwhile his surname Hugo is a popular French surname, which means “intellect”, “thought”, or “spirit”, which ties into the logic-driven fatalism of Hugo.

“To live by intellect”

Kaiser’s Trip

This omake is 3 pages.

On the day of the U-20 kickoff match between Blue Lock and Nigeria, Kaiser visits Japan and thinks about Isagi since this is where he grew up.

For Kaiser, this trip was for reconnaisance.

He goes to a shrine and looks at the amazing view, enjoying it since everyone else is trash by that vantage point and makes him calm.

He follows the method of wishing: two bows, two claps, one bow

Here, he wishes for Isagi to disappear.

As he does, he spots cherry blossoms falling down and philosophically thinks about living in the moment, a life without regrets.

However, this makes Kaiser mad as he refuses to die until he kills Isagi and he does this while crushing a water bottle that causes water to splash.

Q&A

Q: Can I ask Rin-kun a question? If you had to take one person with you to a deserted island, who would you choose?

A (Rin): …Broth—… Itoshi Sae, I guess. Hmph. Just so I can vent all my built-up frustration on him. Ah—but I wouldn’t even know what to talk about… Damn… Actually, I’ll go with Isagi. …Ah—but living with just the two of us would be annoying. Whatever, anyone is fine. As long as it’s not those two. Maybe like an android or something.

Q: A question for player Sae as well. When was the last time you laughed?

A (Sae): Every day. Showing it on your face isn’t the only way to laugh. I laugh in my heart. When an idiot screws up. When I watch a comedy show. When a cat is cute. When I see incredible football. I have my own way of laughing. See? Your face is funny too.

Q: Let’s also ask Barou-kun. How often do you cut your hair?

A (Barou): Every day. I always keep it at the same length. I hate stray hairs falling out, so I even carry a small broom and dustpan. Huh? A clean freak? Good at cleaning? …Whoever imagined me dressed as a maid deserves the death penalty—

Blue Lock 281 isagi

Q: A question for Isagi-kun. Please, tell us an “unexpected secret” about yourself.
A (Isagi): My tongue can touch my nose! I can move my ears without using my hands! I can smell the
excitement before it falls! Also, if I use too much the Metavision, my eyes are getting dry!
