Blue Lock chapter 305, titled X 23, opened with Anri Teieri preparing a special late-night yakisoba for Ego Jinpachi. But with Ego occupied with his work, he asked Anri to keep the food aside. When Anri asked Ego about his all-nighters, he explained how he was creating training plans for all 23 players while other work kept piling up.

Right after, Anri Teieri asked Ego Jinpachi what he asked his players to do during the 14 days off. In response, Ego expressed that his recipe was similar to how Anri prepared her dishes. He knew what he wanted, hence, he was now in the process of gathering the missing ingredients.

Blue Lock chapter 305 then switched to Reo Mikage. His mind was riddled with thoughts about Seishiro Nagi, hence, he was training to distract himself. That's when Baya arrived at the Special Training Room with a letter and an SD card. According to the letter, Ego viewed Reo as Blue Lock's special soldier. He wanted Reo to Master Copy all his teammates and carve his path to become No. 1. While Baya thought it was impossible, Reo planned to ace his assignment.
