Blue Lock Chapter 357: Plot Leaks and Highlights
A detailed breakdown of the leaked events for Chapter 357 is outlined below.
Fox taunts Ego following England’s opening goal
The chapter opens by breaking down the mechanics of the cut-in technique—a move that slices through the center of the pitch to create goal-scoring opportunities—which ultimately earned Knight his spot on the squad. Visibly stunned by England’s breakthrough, Jinpago Ego faces playful taunts from Fox, who jokes that Ego is secretly a fan of the English team he helped build. Ego brushes it off, noting that Fox hasn’t changed at all. In response, Fox challenges Ego to have his team score against them. Unfazed, Ego declares that Blue Lock will breach England’s defense and pioneer a brand-new era of modern soccer.
Kenyu introduces the “Iaido” sword technique to the pitch
Back on the field, Isagi reflects on Japan falling behind right out of the gate. Eager to devour an opponent, he realizes he can’t target anyone on the opposing side because they are currently operating like egoless puppets. Instead, he shifts his focus to analyzing Knight’s playstyle. As the match resumes, Yukimiya Kenyu unveils a surprising new method: Ego has instructed him to adapt “iaido,” a traditional sword-drawing technique, into his soccer movements. This translates to an ultra-fast, unpredictable motion—drawing, striking, and retracting instantaneously—giving defenders no time to react or process the situation.
Kenyu and Zantetsu team up to pressure England
As Kenyu charges forward with the ball, he is quickly surrounded by defenders. He taunts them before seamlessly laying the ball off to Zantetsu. Leveraging his explosive acceleration, Zantetsu instantly bursts forward, leaving England’s Damon completely blindsided. However, Rooke steps in to block his path, warning Zantetsu that scoring won’t be that easy. Even Isagi watches on, clearly impressed by the sudden synergy and chemical reaction between Kenyu and Zantetsu.
Japan mounts a counter-offensive
As England attempts to launch a counterattack of their own, Karasu steps up, vowing not to let these “puppets” score again. England’s Agi tries to take matters into his own hands, loudly proclaiming that he is the sole player on his side with a true ego. Despite his aggressive push, Kiyora shuts him down, leaving Aiku to boldly state that it is finally Japan’s turn to put points on the board.
