Recap of Blue Lock chapter 224

Blue Lock chapter 224, titled An Easy Job, saw Yoichi Isagi to protractor man-mark Snuffy. This means that he wanted Raichi to only mark a 2-meter semi-circle radius in front of Snuffy. If the ball were to arrive in that area, he could try and steal it. Thus, Raichi went after Snuffy and successfully managed to contain him.

As soon as Snuffy passed the ball to his open teammate, Isagi realized that the ball would go to Don Lorenzo. Hence, he successfully intercepted the pass. However, Ubers had already planned ahead of it as Aiku was tasked with winning the ball for Ubers if Snuffy happened to be man-marked. Aiku then passed the ball to Shoei Barou, pitting him up against a confident Gagamaru.

Blue Lock chapter 225, titled Raid Battle, will most likely see Shoei Barou go up against Gagamaru Gin. While Bastard Munchen believed that all hope was lost, Gagamaru was feeling confident that he could stop Barou. Thus, the chapter will first focus on Ubers' attack.

There also lies the possibility that one of the Bastard Munchen players might help Gagamaru to keep their goal safe from their opponents. Considering that Noel Noa is playing as a defender, he could come to his team's rescue.
