Blue Lock episode 19, titled Dancing Boy, will resume from right where the previous episode ended as Isagi, Nagi, and Barou are to now select their new teammate from their opposing team, which could either be Chigiri, Reo, or Kunigami.

While the preview does not reveal who Isagi's team picks, there is a good chance that it could be Chigiri, given that Isagi has previously expressed his desire to get him into their team.

Given that Isagi ended up being the man of the match for his team, there was a good chance that Nagi and Barou would comply with his choice.

Considering that Chigiri has an outstanding pace, he could fit into any team and become the beacon for their attack, making him an easy player to create chemical reactions with, a must if they are to win their match in the fourth stage.

In the fourth stage, Bachira and his teammates are still looking for an opponent as the Blue Lock candidates keep refusing their request for a match against them due to their ranking.

During his training with Rin Itoshi, Bachira sees through the existence of the Monster within himself and tries to deal with the same.

As per the preview images, the upcoming chapter could reveal Bachira's past, which might inadvertently reveal why and how Bachira discovered the "Monster" and what role he plays in his gameplay.

Considering that Bachira's team is yet to find an opposing team, there is a good chance that they are set to face Isagi's team who will be progressing to the fourth stage in the upcoming episode.
