Pika revealed its annual summer promotion, spotlighting Blue Lock this year: starting June 10, a set of themed wooden beach rackets is offered free with the purchase of three Pika manga, at least one being Blue Lock or Blue Lock – Episode Nagi, with the other two also published in Japan by Kodansha. Available through June 30, 2027 or while supplies last at participating stores, the 33x19x0.45cm rackets feature series artwork and logos, with a soccer-ball-patterned thermoplastic ball to match the series' theme. Blue Lock follows Japan's football federation launching an unconventional training program after the national team's 2018 World Cup elimination, gathering the country's 300 best high school strikers.
