What to expect from Blue Lock episode 23?
Blue Lock episode 23 will most likely continue from the previous episode after Isagi managed to block Bachira's rampage, which saw him place a shot at the very end. Given that both teams are now tied with an equal score, it is almost certain that the upcoming episode will finally reveal the winner of the match.
If Isagi's team is to win the match, there is a good chance that they might either pick Itoshi or Bachira to be in their team. However, if Itoshi's team wins, one cannot say whom Rin will pick to be on his team. Yet, considering how Isagi was a key player in his team, he himself might get picked.
Recap of Blue Lock episode 22
Blue Lock episode 22, titled Voice, saw Isagi analyze Rin's train of thought and come up with a plan that would trick Rin at the very end. Using a back-heel direct shot, Isagi scored the equalizing goal. This left Bachira in shock as he kept asking himself what he lacked in comparison to Isagi and Rin.
Bachira thought back to his past and realized how he needed to hear his own voice. Following that, Bachira went on a rampage and used a variety of skill moves in succession to get past his opponents and place a shot. Unfortunately, Isagi, who believed in him, was able to stop him in time.
