Blue Lock chapter 312, titled U-20 World Cup, saw Seishiro Nagi run past the security in Blue Lock's Main Stadium and meet Hirotoshi Buratsuta in the VIP Area. Nagi had finally realized that his ego was to become the center of the world. To achieve that, he was prepared to even destroy Blue Lock. Thus, he asked the chairman if his spot was still vacant.

Around the same time, the starting eleven of the U-20 Japan team walked out for their match against Nigeria. Just as Nigeria's star player Onazi expressed his excitement, the manga kicked off the U-20 World Cup's first match.

What to expect from Blue Lock chapter 313?

Blue Lock chapter 313 will likely focus on the match between Japan and Nigeria. While the manga's previous chapter revealed Japan's starting eleven players, it has yet to reveal the team's game plan.

As revealed by the manga, the team's formation was 5-3-2. However, considering how Blue Lock players play, it is very possible that Ego Jinpachi wanted his wingbacks to mainly contribute to the attack, making the formation 3-5-2 instead.

Additionally, the manga chapter could likely reveal the weapons honed by the Nigerian players, especially their star player, Onazi.
