Julian Loki (ジュリアン・ロキ Jurian Roki?) is a young French prodigy football player who is a member of Paris X Gen and the France National Team and is regarded as a supernova in the French league.
Introduced during Third Selection, as a member of Team World 5, he is initially at Blue Lock to analyze and rate the last string of Blue Lock players.

Appearance[]
Loki is a fairly tall teenager with dark skin, brown eyes, and short black hair in a buzz cut. He is well built for his age, being bulkier than Isagi despite being around his height.
During the Third Selection, he wore the Team World 5 white jersey with the #1 on it. During the Neo-Egoist League, he wears Paris X Gen's uniform.
Personality[]
Before the game against Team World 5, Loki was the only member of his team not to make light of the match or badmouth the Blue Lock Project, and he stopped his fellow players from doing so, showing a certain level of maturity. Isagi noted that Loki was very polite, having apologized for his teammates and wishing for a good match. Despite his politeness, Isagi sensed that Loki was not the least bit nervous about playing them, which indicates a supreme confidence in his own ability, regardless of his manner. Loki was also quick to recognize and praise the team when they had done something noteworthy, as well as critique them when they presented openings, showing that despite his confidence, he does have a sense of sportsmanship about him.
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.
- Counter Attacker: Counter attackers are any attacking player that uses their pace to beat defenders and cause unexpected scoring opportunities at any time. They also need some degree of shooting skill. Counterattacking opportunities occur when the opposition is attacking a team with most of their players forward. A counterattack happens when the ball is won back and is quickly played into space for a counterattacking player to run onto, or when a player takes the ball themselves and runs with pace into a sparsely defended opposition half.
Skills[]
- Professional Football Technique: Julian is considered one of the best strikers in the world, being handpicked by Ego to play as one of the World Select. Despite only being 17, he is already a rising star and is considered a prodigy in the world of football, having been selected for France's National Team already and playing professional-level football in the French League. His skill was demonstrated in the Third Selection, where he was able to easily bypass the First Clear Team's defense, scoring on Team Blue Lock with little effort.
- Explosive Speed: Loki's speed is his defining weapon, being able to explosively take off from a neutral position and reach top speed very quickly. This speed is so devastating that Isagi had no chance to react, despite Loki being directly in front of him. In addition to this acceleration, he has the endurance to maintain this speed for an extended period of time. Since Julian can angle his dribble, he is able to dribble as wide as his stride, which combined with his speed makes him almost impossible to react to or stop. His speed is by far the best in Blue Lock, far surpassing that of Hyoma Chigiri, Ryusei Shido, and Zantetsu Tsurugi, as he was able to effortlessly overcome all of the Cleared One Team by his lonesome.
- Godspeed: When Loki is confronted with someone who can read his direction, he is able to shift into an even higher gear of speed to burst past them before they can stop him. He used this to completely evade Rin when he was intercepted.
- Godspeed Distortion: When confronted by two opponents, Loki makes a single stride in order to bypass them. He used this against Raichi and Hiori.
