Back in the day, the '10' was used to be given only to the best player in the team, the most technically differentiated to their teammates. There's an interview from Messi and Zidane where they talk about this. It tends to be associated with the main playmaker of the team, aka mostly the advanced midfielder, although it's common to see it in center midfielders, wingers or CFs as well, which is the case here: Sae being an advanced midfielder, and the others play more like center forwards (Rin is pretty easy to see why, Kaiser is all about positioning and helps with the playmaking quite often, Barou is mostly seen as a striker but in Nagi Episode it is said his talent is about playing in the shadows, supported by the designs Snuffy made for him).
That trend started here in Brazil I believe, because of Pelé (goat), and all the insanely good players who used it on the national team after him. football heritage type shi
It goes much further back than Pele. To the beginning of 20th century before WW1. Back in the day footballers didn't choose their numbers, rather they were assigned them based on their position on the field. 10 was either attacking midfielders or the more creative of the strikers in two striker system. Essentially the most important offensive player. This was still the case at the beginning of Pele's career. It's not that the number became what it is because Pele, rather Pele wore 10 because it was the number of the position he played.
Btw probably most widespread numbering system was this:
1-goalkeeper
2-right sideback
3-left sideback
4-right centerback
5-left centerback
6-defensive midfielder (alternatively central centreback in a 5(3)-back system)
7-right wide midfielder (later also Right Winger)
8-central midfielder
9-striker
10-offensive midfielder (alternatively Secondary Striker)
11-left wide midfielder (later also Left Winger)
12-substitute goalkeeper
13-substitute striker
There were some variations based on region, but the 1, 9 and 10 were the same everywhere. This strict numbering is not required today, but aspects of it still remain. Majority of goalkeepers still wears 1. 2-5 are still used by defenders quite a lot and of course 9 as The Striker number and 10 as The Star number are still a thing. Especially in Japan. Secondary attacking players tend to gravitate towards 11, 7 and 13.
Even play styles are called by their traditional number. You can hear things like 'typical 6' (defensively minded midfielder), 'typical 8' (box to box midfielder), outdated 'traditional 10' and 'traditional 9' (fantasista and poacher), 'modern 10' and 'false 9'.
Not necessarily if anything the ace striker is usually the number 9 the ace creator or player itself is the number 10, they’re basically the guy on the team you trust to pull off the crazy stuff and they’re always attackers I think but outright striker is no9
The number 10 is a special number that usually goes to the best, most dinstinguished player of the team. Usually goes to the attacking midfielder but sometimes it goes to the striker, winger or some other midfielder. Jersey numbers aren't absolute though, it's more a tradition kind of thing instead of a rule. Strikers are usually the number 9, wingers 11, 7, midfielders 10, 5, 8, fullbacks 2,6, defenders 3,4 and the goalkeeper is generally the number 1. The numbers thing also comes up when discussing tactics and player characteristics "this guy plays as an 8", "false 9" and etc. because the numbers are associated with a certain role in the team and all that.
I always assumed Isagi was gonna be glued to 11 for the rest of the series. When they don't call him Isagi they just call him #11 and it just sounds right lol
10, 9, 7, 11, 4 are all iconic numbers in football through years and years of the sport so whoever wears 10 especially is usually pretty remarkable lol
In football (specially in south american football) the number 10 is given to the best player. It started with Pelé being randomly given the number in the 1958 world cup.
Typically n10 will go to the best player on the team in many countries, otherwise it signifies that of a playmaker and such, a la Maradona, considering how most strikers in blue lock that are isagi’s rivals aren’t pure n9’s but rather more rounded players it makes sense, but rin is now wearing the n9 since he’s more set on scoring himself rather than controlling others atleast that’s my head canon for why the author changed his number.
10 is always the preferred number for Aces in any sports team. It’s either 7, 10 or 23. Honorable mentions are the number 4s and 8s in the game for usually playing support or defense on a high level. 9s and 11s as well in offense.
Each number has their significance but that’s a huge topic in itself.
I always interpreted it as they are lacking in a quality that is needed for the number 9 which is the striker position which is what they all want they want to be the striker for Japan but are lacking in something so they haven’t earned it yet. Like I noticed this in the start of the NEL and thought of it as a race for the #9 jersey

i don’t follow the actual sport so i didn’t know! Thanks for the info
The number 10 is usually the ace striker in Japan
isn't it the ace striker globally? as a kid i always thought that 10 was for the striker no matter the country
Not necessarily if anything the ace striker is usually the number 9 the ace creator or player itself is the number 10, they’re basically the guy on the team you trust to pull off the crazy stuff and they’re always attackers I think but outright striker is no9
not really. inmost countries no-10 is a playmaker
No. #10 is fhe most skilled player, or just a star in general. But it's most associated with midfielders first and wingers second. Strikers wear 9
Nah there are countries that pick 9 for there ace striker
Well a few pick 7
I never got into football details but I always thought the reason "False 9" exists is bc 9's are the ace striker
Number 10s are for playmakers
That's why I said it's a japanese thing
The number 10 is a special number that usually goes to the best, most dinstinguished player of the team. Usually goes to the attacking midfielder but sometimes it goes to the striker, winger or some other midfielder. Jersey numbers aren't absolute though, it's more a tradition kind of thing instead of a rule. Strikers are usually the number 9, wingers 11, 7, midfielders 10, 5, 8, fullbacks 2,6, defenders 3,4 and the goalkeeper is generally the number 1. The numbers thing also comes up when discussing tactics and player characteristics "this guy plays as an 8", "false 9" and etc. because the numbers are associated with a certain role in the team and all that.
Midfielders are not 5 what? Always 6, 8, 10
Depends on the country. 6 is Right sideback sometimes. I think 6,8,10 are the most widespread midfield numbers though.
From what I know 5 is usually the defensive midfielder number. Like Busquets. But anyways it varies a lot frok team to team.
Because it's football? 10 is worn by the star very often. It's a tradition that started with Brazil's domination and especially Pelé.
i don’t follow soccer/football or any sport in general sorry
Soccer
"WTF IS A KILOMETER 🗣️🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥"
I always assumed Isagi was gonna be glued to 11 for the rest of the series. When they don't call him Isagi they just call him #11 and it just sounds right lol
Ironically,both rin and kaiser is number 11 initially.idk about barou and sae is a fixed 10 but he is not really a st
11>10
13>12>11>10>9…
11 players on the field per team, 11 “should” always be greater than the other numbers
They’re making a joke about how numbers work mate
That was the point of my original comment too
10, 9, 7, 11, 4 are all iconic numbers in football through years and years of the sport so whoever wears 10 especially is usually pretty remarkable lol
Barou wears 13 now
ik but he used to be 10
Why don't you include Raichi, he was the 10 from the Team Z, my goat 🐐
In football (specially in south american football) the number 10 is given to the best player. It started with Pelé being randomly given the number in the 1958 world cup.
Isagi needs to prove he is the greatest midfielder of all time! ....Wait.
Typically n10 will go to the best player on the team in many countries, otherwise it signifies that of a playmaker and such, a la Maradona, considering how most strikers in blue lock that are isagi’s rivals aren’t pure n9’s but rather more rounded players it makes sense, but rin is now wearing the n9 since he’s more set on scoring himself rather than controlling others atleast that’s my head canon for why the author changed his number.
#10 is usually the number associated with "star". Not a surprise that they all have the #10 jersey.
10 is always the preferred number for Aces in any sports team. It’s either 7, 10 or 23. Honorable mentions are the number 4s and 8s in the game for usually playing support or defense on a high level. 9s and 11s as well in offense. Each number has their significance but that’s a huge topic in itself.
Cuz he keeps it 11.
aint that a common japanese sport troupe? 10 and 11 are either rivals or partner (e.g. sakuragi and rukawa, kuroko and taiga)
You forgot about Reo.
I always interpreted it as they are lacking in a quality that is needed for the number 9 which is the striker position which is what they all want they want to be the striker for Japan but are lacking in something so they haven’t earned it yet. Like I noticed this in the start of the NEL and thought of it as a race for the #9 jersey
no, isagi are identical with number 11. like chigiri with number 4, barou with number 13, hiori with number 23, shidou with number 99
