The latest spoilers for the Blue Lock manga are out, and Chapter 336 delivers a major shake-up in the match against France. With Isagi struggling to break through the French defense, two unexpected players step up to change the game. Hiori Yo scores his first goal for Japan, but the celebration is cut short when Ego Jinpachi himself rejects the play, leaving Isagi more confused than ever.
The leaks for Chapter 336, titled “Crow and Ice,” have been circulating online since February 15, 2026, giving fans a detailed look at the intense action and psychological warfare unfolding on the pitch . The official chapter is set to release on Tuesday, February 17, 2026, for international readers .
Hiori and Karasu Create a New Attack Pattern Without Isagi
The chapter picks up right where the previous one left off, with Hiori Yo in possession of the ball on the left side . The commentators note the sudden shift in play as Hiori begins to push forward. Realizing that France has completely decoded Isagi’s attack patterns, Hiori decides he needs to create something new with Karasu Tabito .
As Hiori starts his run, Renoir, the French goalkeeper, immediately notices the danger and urges his teammates to mark him . Hiori calculates a shooting path but finds two French defenders blocking his way to the goal. Instead of forcing a bad shot, he makes a quick pass back to Karasu .
What happens next shows the deep understanding between these two players who previously played together in regional youth teams. Karasu refuses to take the shot, even though Hiori passed to him expecting a finish .
“Not like that, you idiot!!! The one who should shoot… is you, you sadist!!!” Karasu thinks to himself, acknowledging Hiori’s talent as a striker .
Karasu knows Hiori’s potential better than anyone from their time playing together in the youth system. He recognizes that his teammate has an excellent shot and should be the one to score . Despite Isagi and Rin both making runs and calling for the ball, Karasu uses his physical strength to hold off two French defenders, creating a clear path for Hiori .
Hiori Scores His First Goal for Japan
With Karasu sacrificing his own chance to score, Hiori gets fired up and understands that self-sacrifice can also be a path to victory . He takes the shot with his left foot, sending a powerfully curved ball that flies past the French goalkeeper and into the net .
Japan ties the score at 1-1 .
The stadium erupts as Hiori celebrates his first goal for the national team, jumping on Karasu’s back with joy . Chigiri and Bachira cheer wildly for their teammates from the sidelines . Charles, the French midfielder, expresses shock that Japan managed to score without Isagi being directly involved in the play .
For Hiori, this moment carries extra weight. He had previously given up on his dream of becoming a striker and was ready to quit football altogether before Isagi brought him back . Now, he has proven that he can shine on his own terms.
Isagi Questions Everything After Karasu’s Selfless Play
While everyone celebrates the equalizer, Isagi watches in shock . He begins analyzing Karasu’s playstyle and reaches a surprising conclusion: Karasu threw away any chance of scoring for himself . This makes Isagi wonder if self-sacrifice is also a valid way of fighting .
Hugo, the French player who has been mentally targeting Isagi throughout the match, approaches him with more taunts. He praises the “Number 2 mindset” shown by Karasu and asks if another player is willing to become Number 2 ahead of Isagi .
“That is the person who possesses the brain and ability of ‘Number 2’,” Hugo tells Isagi, trying to plant more doubt in his mind .
Before Hugo can confuse Isagi further, Rin Itoshi appears from behind and grabs Isagi’s head, forcing him to look up .
“Don’t listen to him. You’re destined to compete with me for the Number 1 spot,” Rin declares .
Rin’s aggressive intervention pulls Isagi back from Hugo’s psychological trap, but the damage is already done. Isagi now has two conflicting voices in his head—Hugo telling him to embrace being Number 2, and Rin demanding he fight for Number 1 .
Ego Rejects the Chemical Reaction Between Hiori and Karasu
Back in the observation room, Anri Teieri celebrates the goal enthusiastically . She tells Ego Jinpachi that this new attack pattern from Hiori and Karasu will allow Japan to stay in the fight against France .
But Ego’s response shocks everyone.
He firmly rejects the play, stating that this is not the chemical reaction he envisioned . Ego makes it clear that he does not want this kind of teamwork in his project .
This moment highlights the core philosophy of Blue Lock. Ego isn’t interested in creating a balanced team where players sacrifice themselves for others. His goal remains to produce the world’s greatest striker, and plays based on self-sacrifice go against everything he stands for .
The chapter ends with Isagi caught in complete confusion . He doesn’t know who to believe anymore—Hugo, Rin, or now even Ego’s rejection of a successful play . The leaks suggest Isagi enters a “dark mode” unlike anything seen before, observing the field with intense focus .
Chapter 337 Preview: “For the Blue”
The spoilers confirm that Blue Lock will not take a break next week . Chapter 337 is titled “For the Blue” and will continue the intense match against France .
Fans can expect to see how Isagi processes the conflicting ideologies thrown at him and whether he can find a new path forward that satisfies both his ambition and Ego’s standards.
