BLUE LOCK – Jinpachi Ego

A sharp-tongued coach who holds absolute authority over the "Blue Lock" project. To create the world's greatest striker, he imposed a special survival training program on 300 high schoolers. His harsh and provocative way of speaking often irritates those around him. However, his skills as a leader are the real deal, and he excels at identifying the specific traits and "weapons" of his players.

Cells at Work! – White Blood Cell (Neutrophil)

In a story that personifies approximately 37 trillion cells and depicts their roles such as oxygen transport and sterilization, he is a calm yet hot-blooded frontline warrior who eliminates invading bacteria with a survival knife. Working in coordination with his comrades, he plays a central role in the immune system, protecting the body from danger.

Medalist – Tsukasa Akeuraji

An assistant coach at Lux Higashiyama FSC. He is a talented skater who has competed in the All-Japan Championships in ice dance.

Attack on Titan – Levi

The Captain of the Survey Corps, to which the protagonist Eren belongs. While he is a clean freak, high-strung, and has a blunt personality, he is known as "Humanity's Strongest Soldier" and leads his troops as their captain. Because of his strength, he has experienced more partings with comrades than anyone else. Behind his cold exterior, he hides a side that deeply cares for his allies.

Ace of Diamond – Tesshin Kataoka

The head coach of the Seido High School baseball team, which the protagonist Eijun Sawamura belongs to. He provides strict guidance that emphasizes mental strength and effort, but he is admired by his players as a great commander with a passionate soul who respects the attitude of giving one's all and watches over each member deeply. He is also an alumnus with a brilliant history of having stepped onto the grounds of Koshien as an ace pitcher.

Web Movie Delivering Encouragement to Children Released on Special Page

Starting May 8, a new Web Movie will be released on a special page to coincide with the collaboration advertisements. The movie powerfully expresses the message "We have the mentors to teach you true commitment" through character visuals and messages from the "teachers and mentors" of all six titles (Blue Period, BLUE LOCK, Cells at Work!, Medalist, Attack on Titan, and Ace of Diamond). It incorporates ambient classroom sounds—such as the sound of paper rubbing, pages turning, and the clicking of mechanical pencils—to enhance the sense of realism.
