Ranking the 10 Fastest Blue Lock Players — Who Tops the Speed Charts?

Blue Lock treats speed like a weapon, not a stat. It is not about who wins a 100-meter dash — it is who hits the gas at the right moment, in tight spaces, under pressure. So here is a ranking of the 10 fastest players in the Blue Lock project as the anime shows them — no pros included — judged on practical, in-match pace and how it actually changes plays.

1. Nagi Seishiro
   Pure acceleration is not Nagi’s thing, but his instant first touch and zero-delay follow-up make him lethal over a few steps. He traps on a dime, shifts his body smoothly, and turns half-chances into clean looks before defenders even react. It is speed as an extension of touch, which is why he sneaks into tenth.
2. Yo Hiori
   Season 2’s calm surgeon moves quickly because his brain does. Hiori slides into passing lanes, adjusts his position in a blink, and reads trajectories like he has the script. He is not dusting the pure sprinters, but his timing, ball-winning precision, and composure make him a quietly fast problem. Ninth feels right.
3. Meguru Bachira
   Bachira’s speed lives in his hips and feet, not the straight line. Sharp cuts, elastic turns, and a dribble that bait-and-switches defenders — plus he reads people a beat early. He is unpredictable in motion and borderline telepathic at anticipating challenges, which is why he lands at eight.
4. Aryu Jyubei
   At over 190 cm with stride for days, Aryu eats ground once he is rolling. You really see it when he recovers defensively or wins aerials, where he can reposition faster than a guy his size should. That said, he was manhandled by Dada Silva — the Heavy Tank from Team World 5 — which shows the ceiling is not there yet. Seventh.
5. Aoshi Tokimitsu
   The anxious vibe hides a bulldozer. Tokimitsu’s power-to-speed surges are nasty, and when he commits, his bursts outstrip guys like Bachira or Kunigami. He is not in the Chigiri/Rin/Zantetsu tier for pure pace, but the combination of force and forward thrust puts him solidly at six.
6. Eita Otoya
   Otoya does not look fast until you realize he is already behind you. The 'Ninja' nickname fits — he slips past lines, finds pockets, and pops up in scoring zones before alarms go off. His 'Stealth Walk' and nonstop micro-movements keep him a step ahead. Straight-line? Not elite. Overall match movement? Fifth.
7. Shidou Ryusei
   Shidou’s pace is chaos weaponized. He lives on sudden, violent bursts — especially inside the box — and his reaction speed steals half-seconds defenders cannot get back. Timing over distance, always. When he hits one of those explosive entries — think his 'Dragon Drive' moments — it is lights out. Fourth.
8. Rin Itoshi
   Rin does not waste steps. He accelerates exactly when it hurts you most, using angles and positioning to arrive first without sprinting more than he has to. As Sae Itoshi’s younger brother, the bar is high, and he clears it by modulating pace to fit both breakneck counters and slow, surgical builds. Third.
9. Zantetsu Tsurugi
   First-step murder. Zantetsu’s opening burst creates instant separation, and in quick exchanges or transition, that is game-changing. Over longer distances the top end dips, and his touch can blunt the edge a bit, but if you give him five yards to explode, you are in trouble. Number two.
10. Hyoma Chigiri
    Still the king. Chigiri’s sprint speed is unmatched among the Blue Lock crop, and he keeps it while dribbling — which is why counters with him feel like fast breaks in sneakers. Out wide, in space, he turns a routine clearance into panic in seconds. Number one, and it is not especially close.

The fun part is how different their speed looks. Chigiri and Zantetsu win with raw athletic pop; Nagi and Rin win by choosing the exact moment to move; Shidou and Otoya weaponize surprise. Bottom line: being fast here is not just running — it is when and how you move.
