We are introduced to an interesting rival character in the form of Bunny Iglesias, whose gloomy outlook could challenge Blue Lock more than other world players.

On July 7, 2025, we receive the cover for Blue Lock Volume 35, featuring Bunny Iglesias, the upcoming rival player from FC Barcha, representing Spain for the U-20 World Cup.

This character was introduced in Chapter 307: “Bunny” as the player Yoichi Isagi unknowingly met in a Barcelona cafe while he was exploring.

He also catches the interest of Sae Itoshi, who intends to join the U-2o team for Japan for the sake of facing Spain in the finals.

Within the cover, we see Bunny’s neck shackled, just like every Blue Lock player acting as a mental block the players must grow from.

For Bunny, this could also represent his unresolved feelings with not feeling the passion for football that his rivals do, which sets him up for a match with the similarly disinterested Sae Itoshi.

Blue Lock Volume 35 will cover Chapter 304: “Benefactor of my Dream” to the coming Chapter 312 that might be released on July 23, 2025.
