Back in 2018, when its first chapter was published, Blue Lock constantly dominated sales charts and received critical acclaim from fans and critics alike, and even in 2023, the Blue Lock manga series remains dominant in the sports-shonen genre.
Blue Lock has returned with yet another banger chapter! Blue Lock chapter 231 has also been slated for a release and will return in the upcoming week without a foreseeable break! The newest entry in the series, i.e., chapter 230, was just released, and now that Snuffy has announced he won’t be retiring, every football fan is more fueled than ever.
Barou has proved himself to be the King of the field and has become an inspiration for millions in the world of Blue Lock. Snuffy was set to retire after this season, but Barou managed to make Snuffy stay, as they have a foremost goal to settle.
The crowd and Snuffy’s teammates are celebrating that he won’t be retiring now, but in the background, Isagi’s ego has been destroyed as Barou stole his spotlight. Barou and Isagi’s situation won’t calm down as soon as we expected.
Blue Lock Chapter 231 Release Date:
The next entry in the series of Blue Lock, i.e., chapter 231, is set to release after a week. Chapter 231 of Blue Lock is slated for 6 September 2023, but thanks to the raw scans, the chapter will be able to be read as early as 3 September 2023.
The chapter will be officially able to be read on the Pocket Shonen Magazine website in Japanese. It will also be available to read physically when compiled into a tankōbon volume.
Chapter 231 will change the pace of the match with Hiori Yo arriving at the field, and he will be guided by none other than the egoist, Isagi.
Blue Lock Chapter 231 Expectations:
With the arrival of Hiroi on the field, things might look much brighter. Hiori has a pliant playstyle that will likely be the game changer and re-create the best scoring vision of Isagi.
Chapter 231 will be heading into the final phase with the match of Bastard München against Ubers Italy. In chapter 230, it is shown that Barou has wholly made the upper hand move against Isagi, and just thinking about this, Isagi is enraged.
Isagi consistently blames himself and calls himself too naive, which cost their team a goal, and now, Isagi isn’t able to see any vision where he saw himself winning against Barou and Kaiser; he feels hopeless. Now, the long-awaited substitution time begins, with Isagi thinking critically about who to choose to increase their chances of victory against Ubers.
Both teams are making substitutions and have to play their cards just right. Bastard München is considering substituting Kiyora for Kurono, as Kurono is messed up pretty badly. But Isagi interferes with the decision as Kiyora is supposedly predictable, and to defeat the Ubers, they need someone unpredictable, someone who can improvise with new ideas.
Ironically, it was unpredictable that Isagi would choose no one other than Hiori Yo instead of Kiyora, as Hiori has a pliant, almost unpredictable playstyle. Isagi needs Hiori’s help to score a goal against Ubers to defeat them with a 3-2 score. Although the Master disagrees, Hiori decides to step in and serve as a ditto shadow for Isagi.
Following their discussion, Hiori reminisces about his past and forgets everything holding him back. Hiori starts believing in himself and wants to do something solely for himself that makes him happy. Hearing Hiroi’s conviction, Master agrees, and the chapter ends. Chapter 231 of Blue Lock will be titled “Dive To Blue.”
This substitution will prove to be the game changer for Bastard München and Ubers Italy. The final showdown between Barou and Isagi will begin in the upcoming chapter!
Conclusion
The conclusion of the current arc of Blue Lock is almost upon us, and with that will come the most anticipated showdown between Barou and Isagi, which is also set to go down! The next chapter of Blue Lock will be officially available to read on 6 September 2023, but the scans will allow the chapter to read as early as 3 September 2023.
