What to expect from Blue Lock chapter 316 (speculative)?

Early leaks have revealed that Blue Lock chapter 316 will be titled I’m Here. Since this is Onazi’s signature phrase, the next installment will likely focus on the Nigerian striker having some form of an awakening that allows him to stop Japan’s dominant display and go on the counterattack.

At the same time, since Isagi was absent in the latest chapter and has gotten a perfect read on his opponent, the protagonist may once again devise a scheme that leaves the Nigerian players shocked.

Blue Lock chapter 315 recap

Blue Lock chapter 315 picked up right from the previous installment, as the fans and commentators went into a frenzy after Bachira’s goal. Excited, the player himself performed a stunning backflip to celebrate. The scene then shifted to 44 days before the match, during the time when Bachira was assigned to teach kids to play football.

Though initially trying to teach them skills on his level, he soon realized that this was the wrong approach. Bachira then suggested that the children take gradual steps, first asking them to simply lift the ball and catch it, before moving on to adding more kicks. Through this exercise, Bachira understood that his assignment allowed him to assess his special talent, dribbling.

Back in the match, having been caught off guard, the Nigerians chose to fight back. As the game restarted, Kuso took the ball and dribbled past the opposition, determined to revise the strategy so that Isagi wouldn’t get involved in the game. As soon as he passed the ball to Onazi, however, Aryu stood in front of the forward.

Having mastered how to control space through Judo, Aryu piled the pressure on Onazi, pushing the player to pass the ball back to Kuso. In the nick of time, Niko intercepted and showed off the results of his training by physically overpowering Kuso. While Niko began running forward with the stolen ball, Kuso was more focused on keeping Isagi away.

This left a hole in the defense, allowing Niko to give a long pass to Reo. With his newly perfected copying skill, Reo started mimicking Bachira, and was joined on the attack by the real Bachira himself.
