Review
Today We will review Chapter 230 of Blue Lock. This chapter was actually pretty insane, so be sure to stick right till the end.
Resurgence of Snuffy
Thanks to Barou’s super goal and Ego, Snuffy has rekindled his flame, deciding to resign from his retirement from football. The world reacts to this news, with Blue Lock once again asserting itself as the best place for football. We see global viewers excited about Snuffy’s return, and in the aftermath, both Barou and Snuffy are seen with their usual expressions.
Isagi’s Struggle
As the crowd erupts in excitement, Isagi Yoichi stands off to the side, wiping sweat and clenching his teeth in frustration. He breaks down, letting out a scream, upset that Barou has once again stolen his spotlight. Isagi realizes that Barou planned everything perfectly, manipulating the Uber system to score his goal. This moment of frustration signifies Isagi’s determination to win, as he knows the goal should have been his.
Team Dynamics and Strategy Shift
Isagi’s teammate, Raichi, apologizes for not being able to stop Snuffy, but Isagi reassures him, blaming his own naive plan. Isagi then acknowledges that he can’t see a way to outplay Barou or Kaiser, feeling like his puzzle pieces are falling apart. Just then, the three-minute Star Change system elapses, signaling the substitution of both masters on the field.
Isagi’s Unpredictable Move
With both Mark Snuffy and Noel Noah leaving the field, Isagi proposes an unpredictable substitution to give them the upper hand. He suggests subbing in Yo Hiori, who can match his vision on the field. This unconventional request is met with skepticism from Noah, who initially refuses to break Bastard Munchen’s rational approach to player selection.
Yo Hiori’s Determination
Yo Hiori surprises everyone by standing up for himself, explaining his motivation to play and support Isagi. He declares his desire to believe in himself and make an impact on the game for the first time in his life. This new-found determination convinces Noah to allow Hiori to play, but with a stipulation that if they fail, both Isagi and Hiori will be dropped from the starting lineup.
High Stakes and New Beginnings
With Hiori’s substitution finalized, both he and Isagi prepare to make a significant impact on the game. The stakes are high as they risk their spots on the team, but Isagi believes that Hiori is the final piece he needs to score the winning goal.
What’s Next?
Blue Lock Chapter 231 is scheduled to release without any break, with the title “Dive to Blue.” My theory video on this will be released soon, so stay tuned! If you have any theories or ideas about the title, share them in the comments.
