A Formation Nobody Predicted in Blue Lock Chapter 354

Gagamaru takes the goal. Kiora and Rio occupy the full back positions, which brings the speed the team was missing before. Aiku and Ao are the center backs of the team and keep the formation in order, while Karasu is playing as the defensive midfielder. The pivot in the formation increases the pressure on one player who has to read every attack of the opponents from England.

Moving ahead, the midfield entails Isagi and Hiori playing in the offensive line while Zantetsu and Yukimia take the positions on the flanks. Shidou acts as a centre forward in the formation, which surprised many series fans. Chigiri, Nico, Bachira, and Rin are sitting on the bench, which is the same as Ego used in the second half of the game with France, which proves his trust in this specific lineup.

Ego's Speech Sets the Tone for Blue Lock Chapter 354

Just before the game begins, Ego assembles the team and fails to provide any reassurance. He insists that their previous victories are useless since this game may turn out to be a loss. All of their efforts mean nothing if there are no results at the end of the game. His voice sounds unemotional, almost clinical, allowing the players no excuses.

Then Ego makes a strange promise. Every loss, fear, and mistake will be blamed on him. With this short sentence, the players feel free to go for the win. The meeting ends with Ego’s strict instruction to be hungry for the victory.

Isagi's Walk Through the Tunnel Reveals His Real Plan

Blue Lock Chapter 354 showcases the calm inner musings of Isagi while he strolls towards the field. He recalls why he had earlier branded the team as dark horses. He discovers that the egos, as they grow bigger and more overpowering, move apart from one another. He knows that selfishness would not cut it to keep the team united for long.

Hence, he decides that if everyone can chase the same big goal of taking over the world as the underdog players, everything can come together immaculately. He thinks of the differences among the players, like Karasu awakening, Zantetsu's swiftness, Yukimiya's skills, and Kira's vision and plans, and plans to work on them as components of the big device he is creating.

Recalling every win he had secured through intuition, Isagi refuses to let the irony of Japan's loss against France faze him. He thinks that he is being tested in some way he does not understand.

As he exits the tunnel in Blue Lock Chapter 354, pieces of white feather drift around him, perhaps a sign that his ego has taken over. Secretly defying whatever entity might be keeping a watch on him, Isagi knows that his journey has only just begun.
