Blue Lock chapter 281 will be released on Wednesday, October 30, 2024. Hence, the manga chapter's alleged spoilers and raw scans will drop a few days before it officially releases. That said, not all fans want to wait that long. With that in mind, here we have brought you a list of predictions for the upcoming chapter 281.
The manga's previous chapter saw Paris X Gen initiate their counterattack. However, just as Charles passed the ball to Rin Itoshi, Igarashi Gurimu stopped him with his malicia. As for Isagi, he lost all hope of becoming the world's best. However, Ego Jinpachi believed Isagi could use this opportunity to discover a new evolution.

What to expect from Blue Lock chapter 281?
Noel Noa could start another Bastard Munchen attack
After Igarashi Gurimu won a free kick for Bastard Munchen in the previous chapter, there is a good chance he will again take the free kick and pass the ball to Master Striker Noel Noa. This pass should essentially allow Noel Noa to start Bastard Munchen's attack and combine forces with Michael Kaiser to score a super goal.
While Noel Noa was evidently selfish about his goals, he needed Kaiser to defeat Julian Loki. This is because such a victory would help Kaiser evolve, following which Noa could compete with the evolved version of the young German striker when they return to Germany for their league matches as part of Bastard Munchen.
Blue Lock chapter 281 could see Noel Noa face off against Julian Loki
As fans may remember, the Master Strikers are only allowed to stay on the field for three minutes. However, unlike the previous matches, Noel Noa has yet to face off against the Master Striker of the opposite team. Hence, with the upcoming manga chapter, the series could see Noel Noa face off against Julian Loki.
While Noel Noa was known as the best player in the world, Julian Loki's Godspeed weapon was inhuman. Hence, it is to be seen which of the two strikers will prevail when they face off against each other in the Neo Egoist League.
Hiori Yo could help Yoichi Isagi through his slump
With Yoichi Isagi having hit rock bottom in the last chapter, he may need some pep talk to get himself back into the game. Master Striker Noel Noa abandoned him and refused to give him any pointers on what he could do next.
While Ego Jinpachi believed that Isagi could use this opportunity to evolve himself, the young striker was too emotional to get himself back into the game. Therefore, the upcoming manga chapter could see Hiori Yo or some other player from Bastard Munchen notice Yoichi Isagi's condition and help him get back on his feet.
