Blue Lock episode 22 will see Bachira trying to make his mark in the match, as up until now, he has only played as per other players' requirements. Now that his team has the lead, Bachira might try to dominate the field using his own playstyle, which may include a lot of skill moves.

At the same time, Isagi will try and come up with a new play that could possibly get them back in the game by making the score 4-4. However, it is difficult to say the same, as Itoshi has already managed to dominate the game, and thus he could seal the deal by scoring his third goal.

Recap of Blue Lock episode 21

Blue Lock episode 21, titled I'm not there, saw Itoshi taking control over the field as he made use of his teammates to set up a chance where Bachira ended up scoring the goal.

Soon after, Isagi and his crew tried to attack when Itoshi stopped him. However, Barou stole the ball from him to score an outrageous goal. Given that Barou was an anomaly to Itoshi, he was not able to predict his moves.

Later Isagi tried to make use of it again, but this time Itoshi was wary of Barou, and hence he stopped his attack. At the same time, Bachira was feeling happy as he had found monsters he could play with. However, they ignored him.

Lastly, Itoshi scored a free kick to make the score 4-3.
