Recap of Blue Lock chapter 251
Blue Lock chapter 251, titled Box Seat, saw Rin Itoshi beginning his attack by dribbling the ball past Kunigami, Ness, and Raichi. Right after, Tokimitsu, Charles, and Nanase arrive to help Rin. This triggered a flashback that saw Rin training Nanase and finding out about his hidden talent, ambidexterity.
At present, Rin passed the ball to Nanase and ran forward to receive the ball. Meanwhile, Nanase's path happened to be blocked by Mensah and Kiyora Jin. Fortunately, Nanase's ambidexterity allowed him to bypass his opponents, allowing him to cross the ball to Rin.
Right as Rin was about to place his shot, Isagi and Kaiser arrived to stop him. However, Itoshi was anticipating this as he picked up Isagi by his collar and placed the shot, giving him the best seat to watch him become the world's best player. However, Hiori managed to block that shot.
What to expect from Blue Lock chapter 252?
Blue Lock chapter 252, titled Best Performance, will most likely see Bastard Munchen beginning their attack. However, unlike last time, the new attack may center on Yoichi Isagi and Hiori Yo. Such an attack should help the two Meta Vision users to at least challenge the goalkeeper into making a save.
Otherwise, the manga chapter could also focus on other characters like Kiyora Jin or Kunigami Rensuke, allowing them to have their moment to shine.
