Recap of Blue Lock chapter 223

Blue Lock chapter 223, titled Are You Willing To Die..., saw Ubers initiate a new tactical design, using the left wing to cross the ball inside the penalty box. While Kaiser, Noa, and Isagi were together able to stop the attack, it took everything to defend the goal.

Thus, Isagi was forced to think of a new winning formula. That's when Noel told Isagi about Snuffy's secret. He had incorporated jiu-jitsu's principles into football, which refined his skills. That said, the master striker had no idea how to beat Snuffy. He asked Isagi to stay patient and defend the goal for three minutes. This advice helped spark an idea in Isagi as he called out to Raichi to use him in his winning formula.

What to expect from Blue Lock chapter 224?

Blue Lock chapter 224, titled An Easy Job, will most likely see Yoichi Isagi execute his new winning formula with Raichi Jingo. Considering how the previous chapter ended, it does not seem like Isagi will be shown explaining his plan to Raichi. Instead, the chapter might see the duo execute their plan directly.

Meanwhile, two of Marc Snuffy's tactical designs had already been stopped by Bastard Munchen. Hence, Ubers might initiate a much more dangerous tactic with their next attacking opportunity move.
