Blue Lock Chapter 300 promises intense emotions as it concludes the project's second phase. Spoilers indicate that Seishiro Nagi bids farewell to Reo Mikage, ending not only their on-field partnership but also an emotional bond that marked their journey in the manga.
With Nagi's elimination official, the chapter shows the striker recognizing that his dream was too small to survive in Blue Lock. He admits that he simply wanted to continue playing soccer alongside Reo, which made him happy, but was insufficient in the face of Ego Jinpachi's project.
The end of a duo that thrilled Blue Lock fans
Nagi then reveals that he doesn't regret teaming up with Reo. Still, he's haunted by doubts about what might have happened if he had played alone against Bastard Munchen. For him, the thought of losing Reo as a teammate was scarier than failing as a player.
In a moment of vulnerability, Nagi apologizes for not finding a new purpose and for passing the ball instead of shooting. Reo, in turn, rejects the apology and asserts that Nagi never made a mistake. According to him, Nagi simply followed his dream, even without truly loving the sport.
Reo then admits guilt for pushing his friend to push himself further than he wanted. But he also acknowledges that this revealed a new side of Nagi: competitive, passionate, and willing to go the extra mile. For Nagi, these moments together were the greatest treasures of his life.
Despite this, he questions whether their encounter was truly a good one. Perhaps, if they had never met, Reo would have become stronger. In the end, Nagi ends the dream they built together and asks Reo to continue alone.
Isagi's last request and transition to a new phase
Before leaving the field, Nagi walks toward the Losers Gate—the gate designated for those eliminated from the project. At that moment, Yoichi Isagi shouts at him, begging him not to give up football. Nagi, silent, continues on his way and crosses the gate without looking back.
The scene officially marks the end of the Neo Egoist League, the second phase of Blue Lock. With this, the plot approaches the highly anticipated U-20 World Cup, which will bring together the surviving members of the Japanese national team in a new stage of challenges.
The next chapter, titled Parade, is expected to reveal the aftermath of Nagi's elimination and begin the team's preparations for the international tournament. It remains to be seen how Reo will handle the farewell and whether Nagi will return at some point.
The relationship between the two, built over three hundred chapters, culminates in one of the manga's most sensitive and complex plots. Nagi's farewell, at once bitter and mature, leaves deep scars on both his companions and readers.
