This week, the next installment of Blue Lock Chapter 324 drops, and Isagi's psychological tactic among Nigeria's players is dangerous. Kuso is no longer a team player and has become an egoist right before the puck. The game that was supposed to represent Blue Lock's strides is instead going to show a different side of Blue Lock's struggles.

Blue Lock Chapter 324 will be released on Tuesday, November 4, 2025, at 11:00 am ET, titled "Afterglow." This incoming chapter will feature Kuso's abrupt awakening and whether or not Japan will be able to contend with a revived ego, all thanks to Kuso's contribution to Nigeria.

What Can You Expect from Blue Lock Chapter 324?

The last chapter had everyone on the edge of their seat, and this next chapter will have to resolve that cliffhanger quickly. We can hope Blue Lock Chapter 324 will be a result of Nigeria's fighting spirit coming to life. We can expect tons of excitement in the last few minutes as both teams will clash in soaring intensity.

Additionally, it would be great if the chapter could hint at whether Nigeria's budding individual ego can shake Blue Lock's ideology around the egoist philosophy. Furthermore, we can see Oliver Aiku's assessment of the budding egoist will be important as the new chapter progresses.

Blue Lock Chapter 324 could feature breakthrough moments for secondary characters. The defensive formation Japan adopted suggests the team prepares for Nigeria's final offensive push. The "Afterglow" title hints at reflecting on recent events while potentially setting up future storylines.

In Chapter 323, Yoichi Isagi was doing his best to suppress his enthusiasm and his ego to take the ball and get it started from that end. Onazi, Nigeria's player, began to wonder if he could even level up to Isagi as a player.

Isagi took this opportunity to taunt the Nigerian National team to defeat their Blue Lock and his thinking. Team Captain, Oliver Aiku, questioned Isagi's motivation for needling their opponents. Isagi had shared that if he could find a way to wake something in his opponents, he would be able to play a level of soccer he had never experienced before.

A flashback sequence unfolded where Kuso told Onazi to enhance Nigeria's attack with another forward. Onazi dismissed the idea, citing that he wants to win the World Cup with his teammates.

In the current timeframe, Onazi looked toward Kuso to play the ball across, but the midfielder was somehow persuaded by Isagi's ego-based approach and opted to go for it himself. Karasu asked if Isagi's words had any type of consequence on Kuso at all, while Raichi yelled for everybody to defend. The chapter closed with Kuso getting ready to kick the ball while Aiku saw him become one of the egoists as it pertained to soccer.

Blue Lock Chapter 324 should give us some reward for all the character-building that took place. Clearly, we will be able to experience both individual selflessness as well as teamwork as the match comes to the final minutes.
