Fans of Blue Lock can anticipate the release of chapter 259 on April 24, 2024. As per usual, spoilers are expected to be leaked before the official translation. However, with the current critical point in the manga series, fans are finding it difficult to contain their excitement. With that in mind, this article will provide speculations on what the upcoming chapter may reveal.
The previous chapter chronicled the aftermath of Isagi and his team’s celebration following his Two-gun volley goal. Kaiser and Rin were astounded by Isagi’s masterful performance and he took the time to explain his tactics to Hiyori. The chapter also witnessed a substitution, with Kurona being introduced as the newest member of the team.
This article includes the author’s opinion and may contain potential spoilers from the Blue Lock manga series.
What Can We Expect in Blue Lock Chapter 259?
Change of Strategies
As mentioned in the previous chapter, Blue Lock chapter 259 featured a shift in tactics for the Bastard Muchen team after Kurona (defender) was substituted for Grim (attacker). Prior to the substitution, Noa commented that the tactics were successful when targeting Isagi, setting the stage for Isagi to take the spotlight in the upcoming chapter.
In the upcoming chapter, fans may witness the use of the ‘False-9’ tactic, where a winger (Grim) is substituted with a sideback (Kurona). This strategy involves an attacking player taking on a defensive role and gaining a broader perspective of the game, thereby granting them greater flexibility on the field.
Ever since joining Blue Lock, Isagi’s personality has undergone a significant change, as he was originally known for his preference to pass rather than score goals himself. However, with the team now centering their tactics around him and his new role as the false-9, he has become a key player. With the final match now in its final phase, Isagi has his sights set on a hattrick attempt, as he confidently declared in the previous chapter.
The Demise of Kaiser
Due to Kaiser’s selfishness preventing him from scoring a goal, the upcoming chapter may witness him acting recklessly while Noa attempts to showcase his new tactics. Kaiser’s reckless actions could potentially disrupt the tactics focused on Isagi, resulting in Noa being forced to substitute him for another player.
In addition, his frustration was evident as he made thoughtless tackles on players in chapter 259 of Blue Lock, potentially resulting in a red card being issued to him.
More Substitution
Prior to the final match in chapter 248, Noa informed his team that he may implement aggressive substitutions based on their overall performance. This is evidenced by his decision to substitute Grim for Kurona and shift the team’s focus to Isagi. In chapter 259 of Blue Lock, it is possible that Noa will continue to make changes based on the performance of Bastard Muchen.
Fans can anticipate that Paris X Gen, the opposing team, will also make substitutions. However, unlike the majority of teams in the NEL (Neo Egoist League), there is currently no information available regarding the complete roster of PXG. Therefore, it is uncertain which players they have as substitutes and what strategies they may employ in the upcoming matches. Nevertheless, it is possible that they will make substitutions in the upcoming Blue Lock chapter 259.
Final thoughts
Soccer is a sport where the outcome is never certain until the referee blows the final whistle, signaling the end of the game. While fans may witness Isagi’s team gaining an advantage, they should also be prepared for a sudden change in momentum at any given moment.
In addition, it is likely that a master substitution will occur frequently from this point on as the match nears its final stage and the team masters (Noel Noa and Julian Loki) have the potential to join the game at any moment. With the upcoming release of a new chapter in a few days, viewers can anticipate the implementation of thrilling tactics during the match.
