The Japan vs. Nigeria match is moments away from the final whistle! Chapter 323 was a narrative masterpiece, revealing Isagi’s drive for “boundless evolution” and the tragic motivation behind Kuso’s final pass. With the ball hurtling toward Onazi for Nigeria’s last shot at a goal, the field is frozen in a moment of extreme tension. Chapter 324 “Afterglow” will capture the direct aftermath of this decisive play, confirming whether Nigeria’s hope can burn bright or if it will be extinguished by Aiku and Gagamaru.
Blue Lock Chapter 323 Recap: Curiosity and Betrayal
Titled “Daytime Hope” and exposed the complexity of Nigeria’s team spirit. After Isagi successfully taunted the Nigerian team, exposing their “collective” mindset, Captain Kuso was spurred into action. A flashback revealed that Kuso and Onazi had prioritized “staying together” over “winning the World Cup” leading to a predictable attack pattern.
Inspired by Isagi’s philosophy of “curiosity to oneself” Kuso realized that to truly help Onazi evolve, he had to betray their collective dream. He took the ball for himself, out dribbled Reo and Karasu and blasted a final & desperate cross toward Onazi, urging him to “Reach the world with this shot.” The chapter ended with Onazi preparing to strike against Japan’s defensive wall, led by Aiku and the recently substituted players.
Blue Lock Chapter 324 Predictions : Hope or not
Blue Lock Chapter 324 predictions point to the inevitable conclusion of this strategic match, focusing on the result of Onazi’s strike and the final state of the players’ egos. The title “Afterglow” suggests the intense emotional impact of the final moments.
- Gagamaru’s Final Glory: Given Gagamaru’s recent training and divine save in Chapter 317, it is highly likely that Aiku and Gagamaru will collaborate to block Onazi’s final shot, securing a clean sheet and extinguishing Nigeria’s “Hope in Broad Daylight.” This would be the final, crucial save that ends the game.
- The Aftermath of Kuso’s Ego: The “Afterglow” will focus on Kuso, who sacrificed his personal happiness (the family dream) for his friend’s evolution. Chapter 324 will explore the weight of this decision and whether Onazi, now fully awakened by Kuso’s sacrifice and Isagi’s taunts, will finally shed his past and embrace the path of the World’s Best Striker by getting his team a GOAL in final moment.
- Isagi’s Goal (4-0): With Nigeria’s final attack thwarted, Isagi is perfectly positioned to score the final goal. The chapter will showcase him receiving the ball from Aiku or Kurona (utilizing the new subs), pushing past the exhausted Nigerian defense, and scoring the 4-0 goal that definitively ends the match. This would be the culmination of his ego’s new phase and a fitting end to the exhibition game.
Will Onazi score the goal or will Aiku prove to be the superior egoist? Let us know your theories in comments!
