Blue Lock episode 20 will most likely have Isagi's team face Itoshi's team. Since Chigiri is a new addition to their team, fans will most likely get to see how Isagi, Nagi, and Barou play with him. Additionally, Isagi has had some huge changes since his last match against Itoshi, and thus fans could see some difference in competition when compared with their previous encounter.

The upcoming episode could also focus on Bachira and how he wanted to search for the Monster from his vision. While he knew Isagi had one, Bachira started to believe that Itoshi had one as well.

Recap of Blue Lock episode 19

Blue Lock episode 19, titled Dancing Boy, in majority, focused on Bachira and how he started to visualize a monster playing with him. He always wanted to go beyond his limits and thus could visualize plays that were a tad bit more difficult than normal. This is where he imagined the Monster.

Bachira kept visualizing the same for years, however, he could not find a teammate who was able to match up with the monster. So when he finally entered Blue Lock and met Isagi, he came to know that he had finally found his monster and thus wanted to keep playing with him.
