What to expect from Blue Lock chapter 313? Speculations explored

Reliable online leaks have revealed that Blue Lock chapter 313 will be titled “Opening Warriors.” Based on this, it is safe to say that the upcoming chapter will be entirely focused on Japan’s match against Nigeria.

Blue Lock chapter 312 recap

Blue Lock chapter 312, titled “U-20 World Cup,” began with Isagi mentally preparing himself for the upcoming tournament, which was moments away from starting. The protagonist referred to himself as a goal-scoring machine and a tool that would make Japan the best in the world.

In the arena, the fans were shouting at full volume as the announcer started revealing the opening lineup. Gagamaru came out first as the goalkeeper, after which Aiku, Niko, and Jyubei were introduced as the Centre Backs. Just as Chigiri and Bachira came out as the Full Backs, the scene shifted to Nagi.

The Lazy Genius entered the arena, internally monologuing about his purpose in life. He realized that he had already lost in Jinpachi Ego’s project and could not return. At the same time, Nagi thought about the future and which path would make him feel the most “heat.” After taking an honest look at himself, he ran past the guards and into the VIP section.

On the ground, Karasu, Reo, and Bachira were brought out as the Midfielders. When Rin and Isagi were announced as the forwards of the Japanese team, Nagi simultaneously barged into the room where Buratsuta was present. Having finally gained clarity that it wasn’t Isagi or Reo who manifested his egoism, but the desire to be the best in the world, Nagi made a decision. He asked Buratsuta whether there was a spot open for him—much to the chairman's elation.

Chapter 312 ended as the Japanese players stood in front of the Nigerians, and the opposing team’s forward, Onazi, openly challenged them. Isagi welcomed this, expressing that it was time to get to the top. Immediately after, the game kicked off.
