Blue Lock Chapter 355 is finally here, and it’s time for Japan to take on England in the biggest match yet. The episode features the much-anticipated match of Group A that has been talked about for days now, thanks to Ego Jinpachi’s brutal talk and Isagi’s newfound spirit.
The spoilers say that the match starts right off the bat. We also learn that Fox is the English coach and not a player, and it’s also revealed that Agi will be starting as a striker. We also see how Shido’s initial attempt is thwarted by the English defense, thus making the competition quite tense.
Blue Lock Chapter 355: The Match Finally Begins
In the opening of the chapter, the teams enter in the midst of cheers and shouts. The commentary states that Japan's World Cup fate will be determined today as only one of the sides will qualify for the next round.
Yuki Mia is the leader for Japan, followed closely by Aiku and Karasu, while Teddy leads the English side. One of the English players immediately gets the captain award, implying that there is much more to the English team's hierarchy. Blue Lock Chapter 355 is here to show the teams meeting before the whistle blows.
Fox's Big Reveal in Blue Lock Chapter 355
The most shocking revelation of Blue Lock Chapter 355 comes right at the beginning when it is found out that Fox, who has been suspected of being a mystery striker, is actually England's manager. Nick confronts Isagi after their previous clash, and Fox instantly provokes Ego from the sideline.
The coaches exchange insults about which of them has the superior football philosophy, and the introduction of the coach versus coach dynamic is thunderous, outside of flashbacks. As for the villainish demeanour of Fox, it fits perfectly with the tone of his utterances directed at the Japanese team.
Agi Returns and England's Formation Takes Shape
It’s official, as Agi makes his way into England’s 11 wearing jersey number 20 in what seems to be a 4-2-3-1 formation. With Agi coming back, the long-awaited showdown against Reo is more of a reality than a dream; after all, the reader already saw Agi play against Reo back in the Neo Egoist League.
Although Blue Lock Chapter 355 does not introduce all players in the squad by name, it does present some of the players practicing together around him, which indicates that further revelations are coming soon regarding this lineup.

As the game resumes, Karasu touches the ball and promptly passes it forward according to Japan's diamond-like formation. The English player read the pass and intercepted it for a few moments; Karasu quickly tries to counterattack through Zantetsu. The ball finds Shido, who teases Teddy and tries to score.
The English team eliminates the shot by using the block and demonstrating how their defense works through teamwork. This scene is where Blue Lock Chapter 355 gets its well-known name given to it — "soldier football" that represents the way England plays against their opponents, relying on its disciplined and coordinated defense instead of the brilliance of skilled players.
