The Blue Lock Rivals Sae x Shidou update brings one of the biggest overhauls in recent patches, delivering full moveset reworks for both characters alongside fresh mechanics, updated animations, and power scaling adjustments to fit the current meta. Players also get three new redeem codes: SAEXSHIDOU (10 Spins), ISAGISHOES (5 Spins), and GOALMET (3 Spins).
This patch not only reshapes Sae and Shidou’s core gameplay but also adds new cosmetics, emotes, and balance tweaks that could shift competitive play. Here’s a breakdown of all the key changes.
What is the Blue Lock Rivals Sae x Shidou Update?
This update is a major content refresh focusing on two popular characters — Sae Itoshi and Ryusei Shidou. Their base skills and Awakening abilities have been reworked to improve gameplay depth, while also introducing new visual effects and cutscenes.
In addition to the character revamps, players can claim limited-time codes for free spins, unlock new cosmetic items like the Mythic Demon Wings, and enjoy quality-of-life improvements that align the game with the latest meta balance.

Divine Lift takes over from Heel Flick, extending range for better setup plays.
Metavision now lets players see opponents’ skill cooldowns and stamina, adding a tactical edge.
