Junichi Wanima (
He is the older twin brother of Keisuke Wanima and when first arriving at Blue Lock was a member of Team W. After barely surviving First Selection and losing his brother in their pursuit to become the best in the world, Junichi resolves himself to work hard and make up for the loss he and his brother suffered in Blue Lock for both their sakes.
Out of the original 300 forwards, Junichi is one of the 35 left that have made it through the initial trials of Blue Lock.
Appearance[]
Junichi is a fairly tall young man, with large black eyes and spiky hair. He has crocodile-shaped eyebrows, and is commonly seen frowning or grinning alongside his brother Keisuke.
Personality[]
Along with his twin brother, Junichi thinks of himself as superior to others and only acknowledges his fellow twin. Between the twins, Junichi is the strong silent one, mostly communicating with grunts and facial expressions during First Selection but he is shown capable of speaking during the Second Selection. Along with his brother, he isn't afraid to play dirty as he accepts Kuon's plan and often mock Chigiri both during the Blue Lock Program and at his highschool team.
Abilities[]
Archetype[]
- Forwards: also known as strikers, have the main objective of scoring goals. They are often the players who get the most attention since their role is designed to be in a scoring position. They also take part in penalty kicks and corner kicks when the opposing team kicks the ball out-of-bounds. They are normally the players in charge of starting off the game at the start and halftime.
Skills[]
- Eye Contact: This is a rather more unique weapon than the others as it only works when Junichi is paired with his brother Keisuke. This ability works when the two Wanima brothers are playing together and uses their closeness and timing of each of their movements to produce powerful combination plays. Since Junichi does't usually speak, Keisuke understands everything the older brother wants just by their eye contact. One key weakness of this weapon is that it's not an individual weapon, so as soon as Keisuke was eliminated by the Blue Lock Project, Wanima struggled to keep up with the best players of the program even though the Wanima brother could even score the first goal effortlessly against the invincible Team V and beat Team X.
