Blue Lock chapter 230 spoilers: Hiori Yo questions his desire to play
As per the spoilers, the title of Blue Lock chapter 230 is Buddy. Following Barou's super goal, Snuffy withdrew his retirement. As everyone celebrated the moment, Yoichi Isagi gritted his teeth as he was left frustrated by Barou's goal. He had been completely devoured; thus, he had no idea how he could defeat either Barou or Kaiser.
That's when Raichi Jingo arrived to apologize to Isagi. He couldn't keep up with Snuffy till the end, which, as per him, was what caused the goal. However, Isagi reassured Raichi that he played well. As Isagi tried to think of a new plan, the announcer revealed that the master strikers' three minutes had ended, meaning they would have to leave the field. This left Isagi with a new hope.
With the substitutions, the team members were set to change that would ultimately change the field. Snuffy went out first as he got Sendo to rejoin the match. As for Noa, he wanted to get Kurona to rejoin the match; however, he was not fit. While Igaguri believed that he could get substituted into the match, Noa asked Kiyora Jin to play as a right-back instead of him.
As Kiyora began preparing to join the match, Isagi stopped him. While he knew that Kiyora was an excellent player, he was a direct replacement for Kurona Ranze, which would essentially change nothing in the match. Hence, according to the spoilers of Blue Lock chapter 230, Isagi demanded Noa to have Hiori Yo join the match.
Given that both Isagi and Hiori played similarly, Isagi believed that Hiori could help him score the final goal and become the protagonist of the match. Noa tried to reject the proposal due to its irrationality. However, Hiori Yo himself tried to convince Noa about the same.
At that moment in Blue Lock chapter 230, Hiori got flashbacks of his past and how his parents forced him into the sport. Regardless, he wanted to play and stated that he was willing to become Isagi's shadow.
Noel Noa accepted the substitution proposal; however, he set a condition. If the pair were to fail their mission, they would be kicked out of the regulars. Nevertheless, Isagi and Hiori were willing to take the risk as they headed into the field.
Blue Lock chapter 230 spoilers saw Hiori Yo finally joining the match. With that, fans may finally witness Isagi and Hiori team up and score the winning goal for Bastard Munchen. Both players have much to prove and may go at full throttle from the beginning.
