The manga's previous chapter saw Seishiro Nagi reveal to Reo Mikage that Ego Jinpachi was correct. He was satisfied after beating Isagi and was only concerned about being with Reo. Nagi apologized to Reo, but he did not think that it was warranted. Just as Nagi bid farewell to Reo, Isagi asked him not to stop playing soccer.

Blue Lock chapter 300 Recap

Blue Lock chapter 300, titled Innocent, saw Seishiro Nagi express that he had no regret. As Ego Jinpachi said, after beating Isagi, Nagi was satisfied and was only concerned about being with Reo. As the goal wasn't enough for Blue Lock, he got eliminated. Hence, Nagi apologized to Reo for not finding a new goal, passing the ball to him, and not shooting on his own. Nevertheless, Reo believed that Nagi did nothing wrong.

As one may remember, Nagi never really liked soccer, but still, he followed Reo's dream. Nagi believed that they could have grown stronger if they had gone their separate ways, but now Reo had to become the world's best by himself. Just as Nagi was leaving, Isagi asked him not to quit playing soccer.

Blue Lock chapter 301 will most likely see the foreign Neo Egoist League players leave Blue Lock's facility. With the U-20 World Cup inching closer, all players needed to return to their international teams for training. This development might see Isagi and Kaiser have another exchange.

Following that, Ego Jinpachi could reveal his plans for the U-20 World Cup. With the tournament inching closer, he may begin Japan's training and formulate strategies for the upcoming matches.
