Blue Lock: Chapter 258 Spoilers – Isagi’s New Ability and Kurona’s Entrance

The spoilers for Blue Lock chapter 258 were made public on April 15, 2024, although the chapter itself is scheduled to be officially released on April 17, 2024. The leaks revealed Isagi’s triumphant celebration after scoring a goal against PXG, with him thanking Hiyori and Kunigami for their support. They also hinted at Kurone being substituted in, which left Isagi feeling perplexed.

The preceding chapter featured Isagi’s impressive dash towards the goal following a skillful pass from Hiyori Yo. Although he successfully evaded two defenders, Ryusei attempted to disrupt his progress. Isagi cleverly moved away from the ball, making it difficult for Kunigami to pass it to him. As Kaiser and Rin hurried to block him, Isagi executed Nagi’s signature aerial acrobatic cannon and scored a stunning volley goal.

Based on the spoilers for Blue Lock chapter 258, the chapter was named ‘Combine and Invent, a New Weapon.’ The spoilers began with Isagi’s elated scream upon scoring the first goal against PXG, resulting in a 1-1 draw. Meanwhile, the PXG players were left stunned by Isagi’s impressive volley goal.

Despite Rin and Kaiser’s attempts to prevent Isagi from scoring, they could not help but express their disappointment as they watched him score. On the other hand, Ryusei couldn’t contain his joy and had a big grin on his face. Later, during the spoilers, Kunigami mentioned to Isagi that this would be the final time he would assist him in scoring a goal. Isagi, however, replied that they would have another chance to fight together in the future.

During their conversation about Blue Lock chapter 258 spoilers, Hiyori suddenly leaped onto Isagi and expressed admiration for his goal. Isagi, in return, praised Hiyori’s pass. He was confident that Kunigami would pass to him due to his frustration with Ryusei. Isagi proceeded to recount to Hiyori the details of how he managed to score the goal.

As many fans may have noticed, the goal bore a striking resemblance to Nagi’s five-shot revolver fake volley, which he famously scored during the Manshine United versus Isagi’s Bastard Muchen match. Isagi insisted that he had simply improved upon Nagi’s technique, creating a new ability called the ‘Two-gun Volley.’

In Blue Lock chapter 258 spoilers, Noa congratulated Isagi on his goal and substituted a player who resembled Grim, the winger, with Kurona. Isagi was confused by this decision, as it would alter the team’s formation. Noa had just finished explaining the goal to Hiyori before making the substitution.

After reading the spoilers for Blue Lock chapter 258, Isagi looked over at Kaiser and contemplated that scoring the next goal could potentially end their ongoing battle. Additionally, it could also secure his position as the top player in the Neo Egoist League, surpassing Rin.

Concluding Remarks

The recent release of Blue Lock chapter 258 spoilers has confirmed Isagi’s progress towards achieving his ultimate goal of becoming the top soccer player. However, the next chapter may hold significant consequences.

To clarify why Isagi seemed confused when Grim was replaced by Kurona in chapter 258 spoilers of Blue Lock, here is a straightforward explanation. In their match against PXG, Bastard Muchen began with an offensive formation, with Isagi and Grim as the wingers and Kunigami and Kaiser as the strikers.

Kurona, a winger-back (defender), was replaced by Grim in the lineup. This alteration would result in a more defensive formation for Bastard Muchen, possibly indicating that Noel Noa may attempt a false Back strategy in the next chapter.

The strategy known as False Back was first implemented by renowned coach Pep Guardiola. It involves the striker moving to the back of the field and closely marking the opposing team’s defense.

A false back, in essence, is a deceptive player who takes on the role of a defender (typically a striker) and performs as a playmaker instead. This involves evading defenders and scoring goals by intercepting the ball. Lionel Messi is renowned as one of the most notable false backs.

If Noa chooses to include Isagi in the starting lineup (forming a 4-3-3 formation), either Kaiser or Kunigami would serve as the false back. With the possibility of Isagi also being utilized in this strategy, the upcoming chapter could prove to be crucial for the final Neo Egoist League match.
