Blue Lock chapter 284 will be released on Wednesday, November 20, 2024, and the manga's alleged spoilers are supposed to come out a few days before the official release. However, not all fans would want to wait that long, and hence, we have brought you a list of major predictions for chapter 284.
In the previous chapter, Isagi confronted Rin Itoshi for the ball. While Rin managed to shoot the ball, it went according to Isagi's plan. He had purposely lost the match-up to allow Kaiser to block the shot. As for the ball, it grazed off Kaiser's leg and was headed for the goal's frame. Fortunately, Gagamaru managed to deflect the ball away, after it bounced off the post.

What to expect from Blue Lock chapter 284?
The Master Strikers will leave the pitch
As revealed by the manga's previous chapter, the three minutes of the Star Change System were counting down to its final 10 seconds when Rin Itoshi and Yoichi Isagi faced off against each other. While the manga hasn't confirmed that the entire time has run out, it to be presumed that it did as sufficient time may have passed.
With that, the two Master Strikers Noel Noa and Julian Loki will be forced to leave the match. As fans may remember, right before the Master Strikers entered the match, the four aces were seemingly on the same level. It was only after they entered the pitch that Isagi and Kaiser felt hopeless. Therefore, the upcoming chapter could see the two Bastard Munchen players get back into their groove.
Yukimiya Kenyu or Kunigami Rensuke could sub in for Noel Noa
As fans may remember, Bastard Munchen Master striker Noel Noa had subbed in himself for an exhausted Kunigami Rensuke. Thus, unless Kunigami was well-rested during his three-minute break, Noel Noa may need to sub-in some other player.
Considering that Noel Noa was playing as a right-midfielder just behind Yoichi Isagi, the Master Striker could be poised to sub-in Yukimiya Kenyu. Yukimiya is a skilled dribbler who has already scored a goal in the Neo-Egoist League. Hence, Noa will likely play him as a left midfielder and have Hiori Yo play alongside Isagi as the right midfielder.
Paris X Gen could introduce a new player
Julian Loki had subbed in for Nanase Nijiro for the Star Change System. While Nanase had good chemistry with Rin Itoshi and Aoshi Tokimitsu, he was yet to make an impact in the match. Therefore, Julian Loki could choose to sub-in some other player other than Nanase Nijiro.
If one looks through the Paris X Gen squad, three players look promising— namely Kento Cho, Haruhiko Yuzu, and Akira Endoji. Fans have yet to see Haruhiko Yuzu and Akira Endoji play. However, Kento Cho previously played as the left-winger forward for Japan U-20, which is perfect considering Julian Loki also occupied a similar position on the field.
