Where to read Blue Lock Chapter 287?

Blue Lock Chapter 286 Recap

Blue Lock Chapter 286, titled New Era, saw Rin Itoshi match up against Yoichi Isagi. However, instead of dodging Isagi and shooting, he crashed into him. This effectively allowed Kaiser to steal the ball. Right after, Isagi and Kaiser started their counterattack with synchronized passes between themselves and other Bastard Munchen players.

After an array of passes, Hiori Yo passed the ball to Isagi, who performed his two-gun volley in front of the goal. Unfortunately, Tabito Karasu blocked the shot. Right after, just as Kaiser performed his Impact Point shot, Charles Chevalier blocked it. With that, the manga revealed that Karasu and Charles were also talented learners.

What to expect from Blue Lock Chapter 287?

After Charles blocked Kaiser's shot, the manga did not reveal whether the ball was collected by a player. Hence, there is a good reason to believe that it went out of bounds. With that, Blue Lock Chapter 287 will most likely see the match resume with a throw-in for Basard Munchen.

However, with Charles and Karasu also being revealed as talented learners, there is a good chance that they will give Isagi and Kaiser a good run for their money. Hence, fans can expect to see the two Paris X Gen midfielders steal the ball away from the Bastard Munchen aces.
