Blue Lock chapter 220, titled Seesaw Game, saw Isagi passing the ball to Yukimiya in the final third as all other paths for him were blocked. That's when Don Lorenzo blocked Yukimiya in hopes of stealing the ball for a counterattack. Jumping at the opportunity, Michael Kaiser intercepted Isagi's pass and was about to score his goal.

That's when Sendo and Aryu came to stop him. However, Kaiser managed to evade both of them. He then used Kaiser Impact to aim the ball between Aiku's legs, following which he scored an outrageous bicycle goal.

Blue Lock chapter 221, titled Take Me, will most likely see Master Striker Noel Noa come up with a new tactic after his team Bastard Munchen took the lead against Ubers. Thus, there is a possibility that he might substitute one of the fatigued players.

Hence, a new player could get the opportunity to have their first match appearance. Considering that only Igaguri, Hiori, and Kiyora are yet to play their first match, there is a good chance that Hiori Yo may get to play in the match against Ubers.
