Blue Lock chapter 278 will be released on Wednesday, October 9, 2024. Hence, the alleged spoilers and raw spoilers for the chapter could drop a few days before the manga's official release. That said, not all fans would want to wait that long. Hence, here we have brought you some major predictions for chapter 278.

The previous chapter saw Julian Loki, Noel Noa, and Igarashi Gurimu enter the field. Just as the match resumed, it seemed like Loki had set up Rin for a goal. Just then, Igarashi arrived to stop Rin. Surprisingly, his tackle was called a foul by Rin. With that, Igarashi showcased his malicia playstyle.

What to expect from Blue Lock chapter 278?

Blue Lock chapter 278 could shed light on Igaguri's training with Kiyora

With Igarashi Gurimu stopping Rin Itoshi's attack, the manga might want to explain how Igaguri trained with Kiyora Jin. As fans might remember, Igarashi had begun honing the Malicia playstyle ages ago and used it first against Raichi Jingo during training. While at the time, it seemed like a gag from the creators, as evident from the latest chapter, Igaguri was serious from the get-go.

Hence, with the manga's next chapter, the series could explain Igaguri's training with Kiyora Jin before the match against Paris X Gen. Was Igaguri honing his malicia ability at the time or creating another weapon altogether?

Alexis Ness could try to reforge his connection with Michael Kaiser

With Bastard Munchen receiving a free kick on their defensive end, the upcoming match could see Alexis Ness either take the free kick or get the pass from one of the original Bastard Munchen players Mensah and Birkenstock from the match's restart. This opportunity could see Alexis Ness try and reforge his connection with Michael Kaiser.

As fans must remember, Kaiser had broken his partnership with Ness. However, Ness remained adamant about wanting to support Kaiser. Therefore, the upcoming chapter could see Ness try and create a chemical reaction with Kaiser to help him score the match's winning goal.

Blue Lock chapter 278 could feature Noel Noa vs. Julian Loki

Lastly, with the previous chapter showcasing Julian Loki's blitzing speed, the upcoming manga chapter could focus on Master Striker Noel Noa's attempt to put a stop to it. As seen in the manga, Noa had positioned himself in the wing where he would have to match up against Loki. Therefore, the upcoming chapter could focus on Loki vs. Noa.

But as seen in the previous chapter, Julian Loki is too quick on his feet. Hence, it is to be seen how Noel Noa could put a stop to his moves. While he is a great player, he is in majority an attack-oriented player and could face trouble against Loki.
