They definitely block 5A on the 77W, as well as 5D/F (bassinet) and probably 7D/7F too; I've snagged 5F at OLCI (T-24) before with no status though so that's one data point.

It is then not a block that requires more than.*G to release. I booked 5A for a NRT LAX trip in both directions Was available at time of booking. Booking class Z.

They also usually block 1A in F.
With regards to 5D/F and 7D/F, the call center in Japan can open up these seats to Diamonds though they are seemingly blocked. However, you may be punted if someone needs a bassinet.

Sorry to dig up an old thread.
ANA seems to block the last economy row in left (40~42 A/C) in old 2-4-3 configured 77W.
When are these seats released?
I've requested an upgrade just wanted to avoid the middle/window seat. (I really need an asile seat for longhaul)
Now my request is cleared and miles are withdrawn. But If I can get an aisle seat, I want to cancel my upgrade to save my precious miles.
Does this work with blocked seats?
