Blue Lock Chapter 304: Buratsuta Plots Nagi's Comeback—Recap, Release Date, Where To Read And More
The last chapter, titled 'Blue Lock Japan,' began with Buratsuta celebrating 78 billion yen in revenue from the Neo Egoist League and Blue Lock TV. Despite acknowledging Ego's success, Buratsuta demanded Nagi's return due to his market appeal. Ego refused, insisting results mattered more than popularity. At a press conference, Teieri revealed Japan would host 64 nations at the U-20 World Cup. As Buratsuta threatened Ego's position, Ego reaffirmed his goal to win. Meanwhile, Nagi, disengaged from football, aimlessly played arcade games with 47 days remaining. Blue Lock Chapter 304 will likely focus on Seishiro Nagi, who was last seen emotionally detached while gaming at an arcade. The game screen's 'continue' prompt may be symbolizing a turning point for the boy, suggesting that Nagi may reconsider his decision to quit football. The chapter may also explore his inner struggle and the possibility of reigniting his passion. Meanwhile, Buratsuta, driven by profit motives, could attempt to override Ego's authority by finding a way to reintroduce Nagi into Blue Lock Japan's U-20 World Cup roster. Blue Lock Chapter 304 Blue Lock Chapter 304 is set to be released on Wednesday, May 28, 2025, at 12 am JST. For most fans around the world, this translates to a daytime release on May 27, 2025, at roughly 7:00 am EST / 5:00 pm CET / 4:00 am PST.

Who is the main character in Blue Lock? Explained with spoilers
Blue Lock lead character We have got to see a lot of anime shows dealing with magic, dragons, demons, delinquents, and whatnot. But when it comes to sports, the list is not that long especially when it comes to football. And then comes Blue Lock in the picture, an anime that changed the whole scenario by raising the bar. In Blue Lock we got to see some of the best characters but given the screen time that all the characters have it gets a little complex to pinpoint which one is the lead. Here we are today to answer that along with giving you a deep dive into the story of our protagonist. Blue Lock lead who is meant to rule the world of football The simple answer to the same is that the protagonist is Yoichi Isagi. As for those who don't know his background, Isagi was traumatized due to his decision in the final match of his school team - instead of taking the shot, he passed the ball to another player who failed to convert the shot. This came as a major heartbreak for Isagi. But, the moment he joined the Blue Lock facility changed everything for him. Here he met Ego Jinpachi who made him realize that ego is the most important thing on the football field. In the second season of Blue Lock, we got to see Isagi's awakening and winning the tournament against Japan's national team. Now the road ahead of the character is not a very easy one. And now the future awaits him where he will participate in the Neo Egoist League. Here, Isagi joins the Bastard Munchen Club (football fans already know it's the rip-off of Bayern Munich football club). And the manager he gets here, Noel Noa, is the best striker in the world. In the events of the Neo Egoist League, the development and improvement of Isagi skyrocket along with a complete mentality shift which you will witness firsthand when the arc gets animated.

Blue Lock Chapter 301 release date and time: When and where to read the popular Japanese sports manga online?
Blue Lock Chapter 301 release date and time: After a short break following the release of Chapter 300, Blue Lock is returning with a brand-new chapter. The creators had previously announced a brief hiatus due to the magazine's Golden Week, but now the release date for the next instalment is officially out. If you've been eagerly waiting to see what's next, keep reading to find out when and where you can read the upcoming chapter. What is the story of Blue Lock? Blue Lock, a Japanese shōnen sports manga, has been created by writer Muneyuki Kaneshiro and illustrator Yusuke Nomura. The story kicks off right after Japan's frustrating elimination from the 2018 FIFA World Cup. In response, the Japanese Football Union decides it's time to shake things up with the launch of the Blue Lock project, a radical program designed to find and develop the ultimate striker, someone who can lead Japan to victory in the 2022 World Cup. At the center of it all is Isagi Yoichi, a high school forward who gets selected to join the program after a critical moment during a game—he passed the ball to a teammate instead of taking the shot himself, and it cost them a shot at Nationals. That hesitation sticks with him. Now, inside a high-intensity training facility run by the ruthless and eccentric Coach Ego Jinpachi, Isagi joins 299 other skilled forwards to lead Japan to glory. Blue Lock chapter 300 recap: Nagi's quiet exit leaves fans heartbroken In chapter 300 of Blue Lock, Seishiro Nagi is officially disqualified after finishing 24th in the Neo Egoist League. He needed to be in the top 23 to move forward. Even though Reo Mikage and Yoichi Isagi try to speak up for him, Coach Ego refuses to change his decision. He believes Nagi has lost his drive, and Nagi agrees. Nagi tells Reo that Ego was right. After beating Isagi, he felt satisfied and lost his motivation. He admits that he only cared about Reo and apologizes for depending on him too much. Reo tells Nagi not to say sorry and that he appreciated their time together. As Nagi walks toward the exit, Isagi calls out to him and tells him not to give up on soccer. Nagi doesn't say anything, but a small look in his eyes suggests that Isagi's words may have reached him. Blue Lock chapter 301 release date and time Blue Lock chapter 301 is set to release on Wednesday, May 7, 2025, at 12:00 AM (JST) in Japan. For international fans, that means the chapter will be available a day earlier, on Tuesday, May 6, 2025, depending on your time zone.
