Buratsuta unveils his grand plan to defeat Ego in Blue Lock chapter 311
Blue Lock chapter 311, titled Side-B, begins with an intense training session among the 23 contestants, where they work towards sharpening their egos. Amid the energetic game, Chigiri passes the ball to Isagi, after which the protagonist scores.
Right after, Isagi immediately gets to work in pointing out the flaws of his peers, telling Hiori that he is too slow and would be blocked at the world level. Karasu intervenes and informs Isagi that he is asking too much of them. Isagi snaps upon hearing this, convinced that he's right to push them to strive for their ideals.
The two nearly start fighting with each other, but are stopped by Aiku, who asks them to relax with their communication. Just as they finish apologizing to each other, Rin chimes in, condemning Isagi for already thinking of himself as the team’s center. Following this, Buratsuta enters the facility and greets his money-makers.
The chairman then informs Blue Lock of his deal with Ego, where three players of his choosing will take part in the World Cup along with them. Additionally, one of the three spots will be taken by Sae Itoshi. To select the remaining two, Buratsuta passionately showcases his plan, which is another event like Blue Lock called Side-B.
It will be streamed on BLTV, where 300 players fight it out for the last two spots on the national team. Among the contestants, Isagi notices the return of the “Crown Jewel of Japan”, Ryosuke Kira. Fired up with his upcoming event, Buratsuta leaves after warning the players not to lose in the World Cup.
Isagi instantly asks Jinpachi Ego about his plan, especially since the mentor had stated that those eliminated from his project would not be given another chance. Ego confirms that even if Kira were to be selected, he wouldn’t use him in the matches.
Ego expresses that he won’t change his philosophy, but explains how it would be all for nought if they lose the World Cup, since he would be fired. However, with conviction, he declares that till that point, he will work towards making Japan the best in the world and will not hand Blue Lock over to anyone. He then proceeds to announce the starting lineup for the match against Nigeria.
Blue Lock chapter 311 ends by taking the series two hours before the U-20 World Cup begins, as excited fans enter the arena and take photos with posters. Nagi, who is part of the ground, also enters, having regained life in his eyes.
