The spoilers for Blue Lock Chapter 364 Part 1 are available, and they come across as brief. In the initial part of the second half, England’s Teddy Knight finds himself falling short when placed in a difficult situation by Japan. Fox now faces a challenge: its star player needs help at this hour.

Is Fox able to get Teddy out of Ego’s clutches? Yes, for the time being. Towards the conclusion of the chapter, Teddy comes out of his designated position on the wing and comes to the center of the field. Then he teams up with Lockhart, thereby making Japan let its guard down.

Blue Lock Chapter 364 Part 1 opens with a notice from the author and the editor. The artist fell suddenly ill, so this week's issue carries only eight pages. The rest of the chapter will run in Weekly Shonen Magazine issue 46, which goes on sale October 14. The notice also thanks readers for their patience and asks for continued support.

The same installment confirms that a third TV anime season is in production. No studio or release window is given.


Japan shuts Teddy down

The story starts with Japan’s plan being successful, and Henri explains how the two defenders have combined efforts to work together. Kurona uses his speed by staying close to Teddy while Kiyora remains stationary, steps back, and waits for Teddy to move, hoping that Teddy attempts to run away.

Then Kiyora steals the pass, and Kurona praises him at that moment. Blue Lock Chapter 364 Part 1 has made sure that Japan has implemented this technique well.

The action then shifts to the bench, where the commentator states that Ego's changes have negatively affected England's attacks.

Ego does not stop there and asks the England manager about Teddy. He asks him why he has not substituted the struggling winger. Ego himself thinks that Teddy has grown so big that England now relies on him.

Fox remains unfazed. He smiles and admits to having a high regard for Ego's intelligence. He also mentions how psychological games are part of the soccer game.

Next, he drops the bombshell. Ego's defensive counter was something he had seen coming. This statement marks an important point in Blue Lock Chapter 364 Part 1, as it signals to the reader that England still has something hidden up their sleeve.


Teddy breaks the mark

The play resumes, and Teddy immediately shifts his position. Fox gives him the signal to begin. Teddy is no longer stationed on the left wing but runs forward into the midfield.

Kurona is unable to track Teddy’s movement. He and Kiyora are caught off guard. Their strategy relies on Teddy occupying the left side of the field, but now Teddy is no longer there.

Teddy positions himself next to Lockhart, the No. 9 player of the England national team, and they create a new tactic that Japan has not faced before.

The last panels show the execution of the new tactic. Teddy and Lockhart pass the ball one-touch and leave Kurona out of the game. The two players run past both Kurona and Aiku.

The final line of the chapter concludes with the phrase that, with Teddy and Lockhart working together, Japan is open for a counterattack again. Blue Lock Chapter 364 Part 1 ends here, but not the full story. Japan's defence is on high alert, and Fox’s plan is already in action.
