Blue Lock Chapter 364 Part 1: Teddy Knight slips free of Japan's double mark

Blue Lock Chapter 364 Part 1 opens with Japan's double mark choking England's left wing. At the end of the previous chapter, Kurona and Kiyora had Teddy Knight marked closely. We now get to see how much longer that goes on for. The title of the chapter is "All-In," and it has 8 pages.

In the highlights of Blue Lock Chapter 364 Part 1, Teddy Knight breaks free from Japan's mark, but not before Kiyora steals the ball, and a notable taunt is emitted from Ego on the sidelines. On Fox's signal, Teddy makes his way to the middle of the pitch. By the end of the chapter, England's attack threatens to be dangerous again.

Kiyora's steal rewards the double mark

Anri keeps a close watch on how Kurona and Kiyora handle their responsibilities against Teddy. Kurona typically rushes in and applies pressure on the England winger. Kiyora waits patiently for Teddy to make a move. Although the plan looks easy, it actually requires perfect timing. It is the same tactic discussed earlier in the previous chapter.

The correct timing pays off quickly in Blue Lock Chapter 364 Part 1. Teddy seems to have lost him, but Kiyora manages to intercept the pass. Kurona immediately praises his teammate’s efforts. Overall, this achievement of Japanese players may seem small, but it shows that the tactic works.

Ego needles Fox from the sideline in Blue Lock Chapter 364 Part 1

On the bench, Hiori points out how Ego's adjustments in the second half are causing problems for England’s attack. The events in Blue Lock Chapter 364 Part 1 demonstrate that the strategy is succeeding. The English attack has significantly decreased due to the consequences of Japan's game tactics.

Hiori’s observation only reinforces the conclusions one can draw from watching the match on the pitch itself. Ego proceeds to address England’s under-20 coach Fox. He questions why Fox hasn’t replaced Teddy, who seems to struggle on the pitch. Ego feels that Teddy has become so strong that, in a way, England relies on him now.

Fox stays calm and signals Teddy

Fox provides the calmest response in Blue Lock Chapter 364 Part 1. He smiles and states that he respects Ego's intelligence. He mentions that mind games play a big part in football. He then discloses that he was fully prepared against all the respective countermeasures implemented by Ego. Instead of being anxious, he remains optimistic about the situation.

The revelation changes the atmosphere in Blue Lock Chapter 364 Part 1. Japan's early achievement no longer seems to surprise England’s players. Play resumes, and Teddy moves to a different place after receiving Fox’s sign. After the sign, he changes his role immediately.
