What to expect from Blue Lock episode 18?
Blue Lock episode 18 will see Barou have his own awakening. Given that he identifies himself as an absolute king, it is not in his character to play second fiddle to Isagi, whom he used to consider far weaker.
Up until now, Barou has shown his main weapons to be his long-range shot and insane charge. Thus, in the new episode, he could display some of the other tricks he has up his sleeve.
Considering that the match is nearing its final stages, the next episode could reveal its outcome as well. This means that one player from either of the teams is set to join the opposing team after the match.
Recap of Blue Lock episode 17
Blue Lock episode 17, titled Donkey, saw Isagi's team struggling against Reo's team as Barou was unwilling to cooperate with his teammates. While Isagi did try to communicate with Barou, his attempt to create chemical reactions was rejected, as Barou had the absolute desire to win using his goals.
Thus, Isagi decided to devour Barou. He used Barou's movements and habits to his advantage. He ran past Barou and scored a goal, following which he stole the ball that was tackled away from Barou to assist Nagi in his goal. Thus, Isagi and Nagi managed to dominate the field.
