Recap of Blue Lock chapter 226

Blue Lock chapter 226, titled Retirement Notice, saw Marc Snuffy restarting Ubers' attack as he was able to steal the ball away from Bastard Munchen. As Ubers restarted their attack, Isagi began tracking back to join his defense. While he was frustrated by his inability to achieve the desired results, he abandoned those thoughts and focused on stealing the ball and trying to score again.

After Shoei Barou received the ball, he went to a shooting position. Just when he was about to shoot, Isagi tried to steal the ball from him. Spotting this, Barou did not shoot. After being stopped by Isagi four times, he no longer considered Snuffy's tactics a viable option. Hence, he decided to end his partnership with the master striker.

What to expect from Blue Lock chapter 227?

Blue Lock chapter 227, titled Scales to the Future, will most likely see Shoei Barou go rogue. After ending his partnership with Snuffy, he is bound to not follow any of his instructions. Hence, fans may see him go back to his original playstyle, i.e., to keep the ball for himself and shoot it from a distance.

However, given that Barou has acquired some new skills during his time in Ubers, there is a possibility that fans may get to see him display a new play style.
