Blue Lock Chapter 314 will officially release on Wednesday, August 6, 2025, at 12:00 PM JST. After a chapter filled with tension and strategy, expectations for Isagi and the Japanese U-20 team's next moves are higher than ever.
Based on previous events, here are the main predictions of what we can expect from the first spoilers.
The ball is in Isagi's court — literally
In the previous chapter, we saw the beginning of a Japanese counterattack led by Rin Itoshi and Yo Hiori , which ended with a curling shot from Rin. Although Onazi , the Nigerian national team's star player, defended the ball with impressive agility, the play didn't end there: the ball fell to Yoichi Isagi .
At this point, there are two possible paths: Isagi can attempt a direct shot on goal or seek a built play with teammates like Reo Mikage or Chigiri Hyoma . Since Hiori and Rin have already participated in the first half of the play, there's a chance we'll see new faces in action—which increases the attack's unpredictability.
New attacks and more focus on Nigerians
The preview for the next chapter suggests a "battle of attacks." In other words, the match's fast pace should continue, with intense exchanges of possession and quick attacks from both sides. The Nigerian team has so far presented Onazi as its main weapon, but players like Kuso , Bello , and Oboabona should receive more attention and showcase their skills on the field.
Isagi's vision could be a game changer
At the end of the final chapter, Isagi revealed that he had a vision of Japan's victory —even with less than five minutes remaining. This revelation indicates that the Bastard Munich star has already identified Nigeria's weakness. According to his reading of the game, the African team may be overly reliant on Onazi , creating a strategic vulnerability that Isagi can exploit.
If this reading is correct, we could see Isagi leading a play that breaks this dependency and puts Japan at a real advantage on the scoreboard.
