Blue Lock Chapter 309 spoilers: Isagi makes a comeback; Nagi reunites with Igarashi Gurimu in an unexpected twist
Blue Lock Chapter 309 spoilers
Isagi is back
According to Waifupulse, Blue Lock Chapter 309 opens with a narration highlighting that the U-20 World Cup is approaching fast, marking the beginning of the battle for survival. Titled 'Reunion,' the chapter shifts focus back to Isagi and the main team after the recent drama involving Nagi and Buratsuta. With the countdown officially started, Ego launches the final 30-day training phase. As Isagi returns, he reunites with Bachira, Rin, Karasu, Hiori, Aiku, and Barou. Ego greets them, announcing that the 14-day special training has concluded.
Ego then reveals Japan's group stage opponents for the World Cup:
First match: Nigeria (last year's African champions)
Second match: France (the current world number one)
Third match: England (birthplace of football)
The latter half of the chapter focuses on Nagi, who reflects on turning down Buratsuta's offer and begins to question whether he made the right choice. He admits that accepting it would have felt like a betrayal of both Blue Lock and himself.
Seishiro Nagi recalled that he still held a professional contract with Manshine City if he decided to keep playing soccer. Yet, he couldn't quite figure out whether it was the sport itself or Blue Lock that truly fueled his passion. At that moment, someone snuck up behind him and pressed a finger gun to his head, declaring him 'dead.' It turned out to be Igarashi Gurimu.
Just as the chapter leaked and translations came in, one reacted to it saying, 'Now it becomes interesting. Igaguri may be a keyy.' A second added, 'Buratsuta chooses Igaguri for the 3 additional Blue Lock players? GG LORD IGAGURI.' A third went on to add, 'By the way, why does Nagi keep getting highlighted.'

Ciara among first descendants of enslaved people granted citizenship by Benin
Dakar (Senegal), Jul 29 (AP) US singer Ciara is one of the first public figures to become a citizen of Benin under a recent law by the small West African country granting citizenship to descendants of enslaved people. The Grammy-winning performer's acquisition of citizenship at a ceremony Saturday in the city of Cotonou is part of a broader initiative by Benin to attract the Black diaspora, acknowledge the country's role in the transatlantic slave trade, and promote tourism focused on slavery-related sites of remembrance. 'By legally recognising these children of Africa, Benin is healing a historical wound. It is an act of justice, but also one of belonging and hope," Justice Minister Yvon Détchénou said at the ceremony. Here's what to know about Benin's efforts to welcome descendants of enslaved people: Benin's Afro-descendant citizenship law In September, Benin passed a law granting citizenship to those who can trace their lineage to the slave trade. It is open to anyone above 18 who doesn't already hold other African citizenship and can provide proof that an ancestor was deported via the slave trade from anywhere in sub-Saharan Africa. Beninese authorities accept DNA tests, authenticated testimonies and family records. Last week, the government launched My Afro Origins, the digital platform that processes applications. A national reckoning with its role in the slave trade European merchants deported an estimated 1.5 million enslaved people from the Bight of Benin — a region that includes present-day Benin, Togo and parts of Nigeria — to the Americas. Beninese kings actively participated in capturing and selling enslaved people to Portuguese, French and British merchants. The former kingdoms and the communities they raided still exist today as tribal networks. Benin has long been working to reconcile with its legacy of complicity. It has openly acknowledged its role in the slave trade, a stance not shared by many other African nations that participated. In the 1990s, it hosted an international conference to examine how and where enslaved people were sold. In 1999, then-President Mathieu Kerekou apologised to African Americans during a visit to a church in Baltimore. Memorial tourism Alongside this national reckoning, 'memorial tourism" around the legacy of the slave trade has become a key approach of Benin's government to attract Afro-descendants. Memorial sites are mostly in Ouidah, one of Africa's most active slave-trading ports in the 18th and 19th centuries. They include the Slave Route, which was the path marking enslaved people's final journey to ships, and the Door of No Return, a haunting doorway that opens to the Atlantic Ocean where they left Africa, and their families, for the last time. Sinde Chekete, the head of Benin's state-run tourism agency, said these sites give Afro-descendants the opportunity to learn about and honour the struggles and resilience of their ancestors. 'It may inspire some people to say 'I want to return to Africa and choose Benin to understand this history'," Chekete said. Following her citizenship ceremony, Ciara toured the historic city, where she walked the Slave Route to the Door of No Return. 'Between emotion, reflection and heritage, I experienced a profound return to what truly matters," she said. Ciara is best known for chart-topping hits like 'Goodies" and 'Level Up," her dynamic choreography, and her work in fashion and philanthropy.

MS Dhoni turns ‘marriage counselor' at wedding, dispenses hilarious marital advice to the couple: ‘Doesn't matter if you've won the World Cup or not…'
Even after stepping away from international cricket years ago, MS Dhoni continues to capture the spotlight. Though he now only plays for a couple of months in the IPL, his charisma and legendary status still keep fans hooked. But this time, it wasn't his cricketing skills but his hilarious marital advice at a wedding that had everyone talking. A video of Dhoni at a wedding has gone viral, where he's seen offering cheeky life tips to groom Utkarsh Sanghvi in his signature cool style. The moment, light-hearted and full of laughter, is being loved online, with fans now jokingly dubbing him a 'marriage counselor'. Standing on stage with the newlyweds, Dhoni looked at the groom and quipped, 'Kuch log aag se khelna pasand karte hain, yeh unmein se hai (Some people like to play with fire, he's one of them).' That one line had the crowd in splits but he wasn't done yet. With his trademark grin, Dhoni added, 'It doesn't matter if you've won the World Cup or not, after marriage, all husbands are in the same condition.' When he turned to the groom again and said, 'If you think your wife is different, then you're thinking wrong,' Utkarsh chuckled and replied, 'Yes, mine is not different!' The audience erupted in laughter and applause at the candid exchange. Dhoni also gave the bride, Dhvani Kanungo, some heartfelt advice, reminding her to stay calm during arguments, since 'men usually cool down in five minutes.' He wrapped up with a warm wish for their future, congratulating them on their new journey together. A post shared by Social Media Management Waale (@smmwaale) The clip quickly became the highlight of the evening, and of social media. Fans loved seeing this candid side of Dhoni. One person joked, 'Stand-up comedians ki job ab khatre mein hai.' (Stand-up comedians' jobs are now in danger). Another echoed, 'Stand-up comedians mein darr ka mahaul hai.' (There's panic among stand-up comedians!). Someone else summed it up perfectly: 'Experience in so many years coming out of Mr. Dhoni.' Another fan added wistfully, 'They're so lucky to have him speak at their wedding. MS living rent-free in everyone's heart.'

Divya Deshmukh's Chess World Cup triumph fuelled by mental toughness: Susan Polgar
Legendary Grandmaster Susan Polgar has hailed Divya Deshmukh's remarkable Women's World Cup triumph as a victory fuelled by "mental toughness" and an unshakable will to win, after the 19-year-old etched yet another historic chapter in Indian a thrilling all-Indian final held in Batumi, Georgia, Divya stunned the vastly more experienced Koneru Humpy in the tiebreaks on Monday. Entering the tournament as a dark horse, the teenager from Maharashtra not only secured the prestigious World Cup but also qualified for the 2026 Candidates Tournament and became India's 88th of all, congratulations to Divya for this historic feat. Well done," Polgar told PTI Videos in an interview. "Even though she may not have been the pre-tournament favourite, or the strongest on paper, she had what others lacked - the will to win and mental toughness." The 56-year-old Hungarian-American, who was the women's world champion from 1996 to 1999, praised Divya's resilience throughout the competition. "There were games where she was in trouble, and some where she couldn't convert. But none of it mattered. She kept fighting, without fear. Her strong nerves carried her through the finish line."Divya's feat places her among the elite in Indian chess, becoming only the fourth Indian woman Grandmaster after Humpy, Harika Dronavalli, and R. Vaishali, and the 44th female GM in the who herself became the top-rated female player in the world at just 15, believes Indian chess is in the midst of a golden era, propelled by a wave of fearless young talent and bolstered by the guidance of icons like Viswanathan Anand."This is the Golden Age of Chess in India," she said. "What is even more special is that these talents are all homegrown. They respect and support each other. With sustained support from the government - national to local - and sponsors, India will remain at the top for years to come."Citing the example of teen sensation D. Gukesh, who became a Grandmaster at the age of 12, Polgar noted that success in chess often comes down to intangible qualities."When Gukesh became a GM, he wasn't the highest rated among Indian prospects," she recalled. "But I immediately picked him to go furthest. Some thought I was crazy. But as someone who's worked with over 50 Grandmasters, including players rated above 2700, I recognised his special traits.""Same with Divya. She may not be India's highest rated female player, but she has those same intangibles - fearlessness and an immense will to win. That often compensates for any technical deficiencies, which they can address with more training and experience."advertisementPolgar urged both Gukesh and Divya to stay grounded and keep working diligently, warning that future challenges will be fiercer now that they've reached the summit."Don't stop. It's like a moving train - ride the momentum and don't slow down. There'll always be players who are hungrier. If you ease up, it gets much harder," she cautioned. "Divya is no longer an up-and-comer. She's a World Cup champion now. The target is on her back. Others will be gunning for her. She must train - and train harder."Polgar also had warm words for Koneru Humpy, who has been at the forefront of Indian women's chess for decades."Humpy is a phenomenal player. I have great respect for her. She's been near the top for many years. Age and motherhood make things more challenging, but she navigated many tough matches in this tournament. Monday was Divya's day - that's sport. But Humpy will have her moments again, and I wish her all the best."- Ends
