Blue Lock chapter 303 recap

Blue Lock chapter 303, titled Blue Lock Japan, saw Hirotoshi Buratsuta celebrate the income generated by Blue Lock TV and Neo Egoist League. Soon after, he asked Ego Jinpachi to bring back Nagi. However, Ego did not believe Nagi was needed to win the World Cup, hence, he rejected Buratsuta's request.

Elsewhere, Anri Teieri conducted a press conference revealing many important details about the upcoming U-20 World Cup. Japan was set to host the competition with a record-breaking 64 teams. The competition would not only include great teams but would also bring the New Generation World 11 on the same stage.

What to expect from Blue Lock chapter 304?

Blue Lock chapter 304 will most likely focus on Seishiro Nagi. The previous manga chapter ended by showing a glimpse of Nagi as he looked depressed while playing games in an arcade.

While the manga did not state that Nagi was going to return to Blue Lock, the game's screen showed a prompt asking the player if they wanted to continue playing. There is good reason to believe that this game screen was foreshadowing for Nagi resuming his football career.

The manga chapter could also focus on Buratsuta, who could pull some strings to have Nagi join the Blue Lock Japan team.
