Recap of Blue Lock chapter 238

Blue Lock chapter 238, titled Dreamers, saw Hiori Yo getting past the Ubers defense, starting with Ikki Niko. Right after that, Don Lorenzo lunged in for a tackle. However, Hiori managed to feint his way out of it and was faking a shot. That's when Shoei Barou arrived to stop him, knowing that Hiori was about to pass to Isagi.

Around the same time, Isagi was being marked by Aryu Jyubei, which is when Michael Kaiser joined the mix. He was certain that Hiori was set to pass to Isagi, hence he arrived to steal the goal.

Despite Hiori's vision being blocked by Barou, he crossed the ball toward Isagi reflexively. Around the same time, Isagi started moving without looking at the ball. This helped him reach the ball before anyone else, allowing him to score the winning goal.

Blue Lock chapter 239, titled Creation!, will most likely see Bastard Munchen be declared the winner in their match against Ubers. Following that, Hiori Yo may finally make a conclusive decision regarding his career. While he did decide to quit playing football during the match, his decision may have changed after the goal.

Otherwise, the chapter could also focus on Michael Kaiser, who lost his challenge against Isagi. Hence, his reaction to the loss could hugely impact the upcoming chapters of the manga.
