What Can You Expect from Blue Lock Chapter 329?

The Blue Lock Chapter 329 title, 'Don't Give Up,' is a good indication that the themes of perseverance and struggle are prevalent in this story. After Chapter 328, where Ichigo had an introspective conversation on the rooftop, we can be sure that the story will go back to the field with more action.

Early information suggests Blue Lock Chapter 329 covers the conclusion of first-round matches across all participating countries. So, now we will finally be able to see the results of teams from Spain, Germany, England, etc., in their first matches.

Also, we may see more about the story of Side B and about Seishiro Nagi and Ryosuke Kira, who are both players involved in the first round of Side B. The facility they train at operates in parallel to the Blue Lock program. Chapter 327 introduced a new match scenario called "Birdcage," but we don't have any information on the outcome of this match.


What Happened in Blue Lock Chapter 328?

After winning the game against Nigeria, Isagi and Ego face off on the rooftop. Ego tells Isagi that he wouldn't recommend going for that kind of last-minute play because if he keeps on taking those types of chances, he eventually risks destroying the team structure.

Ego feels that it is fine to use them as backup plans, second options, but those should not be the first option. Isagi surprises Ego by saying that only following Ego's philosophy will not allow him to reach the goals of beating the world's best players. Ego explained to Isagi that the Flow and Luck Equation concepts came from studying the feeling he experienced during that one moment when he reached a divine-like state.

Unfortunately, Ego never managed to reach that level of spirituality again, forcing him to stop playing and start the Blue Lock program. The end of the chapter was where Isagi said he would go and become the God of soccer and achieve everything Ego has ever wanted. After seeing a shooting star, he promised to show the world that a gifted learner can be the best of the best.

Blue Lock Chapter 329 promises to shift focus from philosophical introspection back to tournament action. As the U-20 World Cup intensifies, every chapter becomes crucial. New opponents bring fresh challenges that will test whether Isagi's theories about evolution through competition hold on football's biggest stage.
