After all, the manga Nagi 's backstory and conflicts in greater depth , which couldn't be developed in the main series, since Isagi is the narrative focus. In fact, the spin-off was so successful that it was adapted into a film with impressive box office success. However, even with this reach, the decision to end the series was confirmed by the @mzk_70 profile on X (formerly Twitter).
Is there still room for Nagi in the main storyline?
Surprisingly, the end of the series coincides with Nagi's sudden departure from the Blue Lock program, as seen in chapter 299 of the main manga. According to Muneyuki Kaneshiro, the author of the work, Nagi fell to 24th place in the ranking system and was eventually eliminated. Although he is considered the second protagonist of the series, his lack of a strong ego was decisive.
However, Chapter 302 rekindled hope. In it, we see Nagi trying to return to normal life, until she realizes that her true desire is to return to Blue Lock. Therefore, the ending of the spin-off series may have been a narrative strategy to maintain the suspense surrounding her return.
Furthermore, despite receiving a club offer, Nagi still hasn't found his ego—one of the central themes of the series. Therefore, even though the spin-off is nearing its end, a twist that brings the player back to the center of the plot can't be ruled out.
