Recap: What Happened in Blue Lock Chapter 336?
To fully enjoy the upcoming chapter, it helps to remember the events of Chapter 336. The U-20 World Cup match against France reached a boiling point. France, led by the powerful Loki and the tactical genius Charles, had completely shut down Japanโs attack . It seemed like Japan had no answers, and Yoichi Isagi was struggling to find a way through.
However, a surprising combination play between Tabito Karasu and Yo Hiori changed everything . Their trick shot maneuver broke through the French defense and scored the equalizing goal . While this goal brought Japan back into the game, it also created tension. The way the goal was scored did not sit well with Jinpachi Ego, the mastermind behind Blue Lock .
More importantly, the goal left Isagi with mixed feelings. He realized that Japan could survive without him, and this thought pushed him back into a dark mindset. Charles had previously told Isagi to accept being the worldโs number two . For a moment, Isagi seemed to waver. But Rin Itoshi stepped in to remind Isagi of his hunger for victory . The chapter ended with Japan tying the score, but the teamโs internal conflicts are far from over.
What to Watch For in Chapter 337
Chapter 337 is titled “For the Blue” . The story is expected to focus on how Japan rebuilds its attack following the equalizer. France will likely adjust their defense to stop Karasu and Hioriโs new partnership . The focus may also shift to Isagiโs internal battle and how he redefines his role on the team now that others are stepping up .
On the French side, Charles and Loki will probably launch a counterattack. Readers can expect the French defense to tighten, and the battle for control of the match will intensify . The chapter may also explore the chemistry between Karasu and Hiori in more depth, as their unexpected connection becomes a key weapon for Japan .
