Embers chapter 15 recap

Embers chapter 15, titled The Beast in the Maelstrom, opened with the match between Kosei and Kurobayashi. While Haitani hoped to play against Nerima, the opposing team's ace believed his team did not need his help to secure a win. Although Shizuki took offense at this statement, she expected her man-to-man strategy to work against Kurobayashi.

Although Kurobayashi had a counter for that, they did not account for Noboru Haitani, who moved up to midfield and stole the ball away. Soon after, Yuga Takami crossed the ball to Mano, who scored the match's opener with a header. Witnessing this development, Nerima realized he needed to take part in the match.

What to expect from Embers chapter 16?

As suggested by the previous chapter, fans can expect Kurobayashi ace Yuzen Nerima to be subbed into the match. While Noboru Haitani might be delighted by this development, he may soon learn why Nerima was regarded as the best player around.

With that, fans can expect to see Yuzen Nerima play against Kosei. The question is, how will Haitani and his team contain him? It’s likely that Shizuki Yukizuki has a plan to stop him. However, it remains to be seen how the plan will fare against the real deal.
