Blue Lock Chapter 355: England's wall of knights steps onto the pitch

In the latest Blue Lock chapter 355, Japan's team meets with the England squad at the U20 World Cup. Isagi and his friends stand in front of Teddy Knight and the newly introduced England squad. This match proves to be completely decisive for the entire group stage.

The chapter shows how England creates its entire strategy of lockdown defense. Throughout the chapter, Japan's attempts to attack are simply blocked by strong, organized opponents with the knowledge that defeating this kind of England team requires something more than a single player's skill and talent.

Japan and England Finally Clash

The match gets underway with both teams coming out to the roars of the crowd. Yukimia, Chigiri, Aryu, and Reo are standing alongside Isagi with Teddy leading the way. In Blue Lock Chapter 355, this moment is presented as Japan’s biggest challenge so far.

Before the kick-off, Isagi meets Aiku, whom he has fought against previously in the Neo-Egoist League, and the conversation indicates there is more to this match than tactics.

Teddy Knight's Cold Introduction in Blue Lock Chapter 355

Teddy Knight kicks off the chapter in a really cold way, saying that he’s just a puppet made to help England win. He has this very detached way of speaking that sets him apart from all the other characters from Gen 11 that we've met so far. This Blue Lock Chapter 355 digs even more into the mystery of his motivation.

England’s coach, Fox, adds another creepy layer of complexity to the game. His sharp smile and mean comments towards Ego show us he is actually the one controlling Teddy. Fox’s rivalry with Ego turns into an interesting tangential plot line in the chapter.

Karasu and Shidou Test the Waters

Upon the ball being put in play, Karasu controls Japan’s offensive play using the new four-man diamond formation. Blue Lock Chapter 355 portrays him as the traffic director as Shidou moves towards the front, being the designated finisher for Japan.

That momentary confidence did not last long. England’s midfielder Niang read the play and almost immediately won the ball back from Karasu. The power went to Zantetsu, who passed the ball to Shido, who made an aerial shot which was immediately blocked by Teddy.

England's Knight Formation Shuts It Down

In its final pages, the chapter features the fifth biggest revelation in this series. The entire English defensive line appears as one cohesive unit of armored knights guarding every area of attack.

It dawns on Isagi that this defensive setup is not based on a single star player. The chapter ends with Teddy holding a ball as the knight formation appears near him, indicating that England is going for an attack in the next chapter.

Blue Lock Chapter 355 indicates that it will not be easy for both teams to win in this match. With England's defense already showing to be tough to breach, the upcoming chapters promise to challenge Isagi's approach of using only speed in his efforts to counter the wall.
