Chapter 314 Part 2 picks up right where the previous chapter left off, with Onazi moving in to block Isagi's shot. Onazi, aware of the danger of Isagi's direct strikes, begins his usual line, 'But it's fine, as long as I am here', only to be interrupted mid-sentence by Isagi, who scolds him as a 'monotonous bastard' for repeating the same phrase over and over.
At this moment, Isagi has fully analyzed Onazi and the Nigerian team, recognizing that Onazi's unlimited stamina is his greatest weapon, allowing him to appear in every critical situation, both offensively and defensively. Isagi notes that the Japanese team can control the match entirely, as long as Onazi doesn't touch the ball. Meanwhile, Kuso realizes that it's not Blue Lock as a whole that has adapted to Nigeria, it's Isagi. He is the 'switch,' the starting point of both offense and defense. The two strategic midfielders, Reo and Karasu, simply fill in the missing pieces of his plan.
The action then shifts to Japan's ace players, Isagi and Rin, charging toward the goal. Isagi passes to Bachira, prompting Kuso to try predicting who Bachira will pass to next. But Bachira, showing off his signature ego-driven play, dribbles past Isagi and the Nigerian defenders, even rainbow flicking over Rin, before shooting straight into the net. Goal! Japan takes the lead in the U20 World Cup, courtesy of Blue Lock's ultimate egoist, Meguru Bachira.
