Blue Lock chapter 257 recap

Blue Lock chapter 257, titled Two-Gun, saw Isagi preparing to score his goal from Hiori's early cross. Moments later, he saw Shidou charging at him from his left. Hence, Isagi began running away from the ball. While Shidou was confused, Kunigami headed the ball to Isagi, setting him free in front of the goal. Just when it seemed like Isagi would score the goal, Rin and Kaiser reached him.

Both players wanted to interfere with Isagi's goalscoring opportunity. So, Isagi devised a new move to trick both players. He did a feint shot with his left foot, followed by a right-foot direct volley, scoring the equalizing goal.

What to expect from Blue Lock chapter 258?

Blue Lock chapter 258 will most likely see Yoichi Isagi explain how he scored the equalizing goal. While most players would have tried to score the goal by volleying the early cross, Isagi analyzed the situation and had Kunigami join him in the attack. This move essentially saw Kunigami, Hikaru, and Isagi score the goal, which was the culmination of their best performances.

Additionally, the upcoming chapter is bound to reveal other players' reactions, especially Michael Kaiser and Rin Itoshi's, both of whom were outwitted for the goal. There is also a chance that the upcoming chapter will see both teams make some changes to their lineup.
