Embers chapter 17 recap

Embers chapter 17, titled Unexpected, saw Yuzen Nerima expect his team to have a landslide victory against Kosei. However, Noboru Haitani destroyed his expectations by blocking a chip shot bound for the goal. Amidst this, Haitani asked Yuga Takami to play his part and try to defeat Kurobyashi using weapons other than his speed.

Later, Yuzen Nerima started observing Haitani a bit more. Having done that, he was certain he could beat the defender. Unfortunately, Nerima was wrong, as no matter what he did, Haitani caught up to him. During this, Takami decided to throw the one thing he clung to the most.

What to expect from Embers chapter 18?

Embers chapter 18 will most likely be focused on Yuga Takami. This is because he realized he was acting like a hypocrite by thinking he was bad at giving up. His shirt was spotless, meaning that he hadn't tried hard enough. Upon realizing this, Yuga Takami decided to throw away the one thing he clung to the most.

While the manga did not reveal Yuga Takami's plan, the thing he clung to the most was likely his pride as a goalscorer. Hence, the next chapter could see Yuga Takami abandon his usual role and assume a supporting role to help the team.
