According to the alleged Blue Lock chapter 287 spoilers, the upcoming chapter will be titled "You were there." The chapter picks up right from where the previous chapter ended as after Charles Chevalier blocked Michael Kaiser's shot, the ball dropped to Zantetsu Tsurugi. Isagi was certain that their attack was just barely stopped, hence if they didn't stop thinking, they should be able to break through Charles's defense.

As for Zantetsu, just as he collected the ball, he initiated a counterattack by passing the ball to Ryusei Shidou. Unfortunately, just as Shidou prepared to showcase his skills, Raichi Jingo, Hiori Yo, and Kiyora Jin applied a triple press on him. At that moment, Blue Lock chapter 287 spoilers saw Shidou do something unimaginable. The manga saw Shidou give a backheel pass to Rin Itoshi, proposing a team-up like Isagi and Kaiser.

Even Tabito Karasu and Charles Chevalier joined the aces in the team up as they got past the Bastard Munchen players with an array of passes. Just as the ball went back to Ryusei Shidou, his path was blocked by Igarashi Gurimu. He wanted to stop the striker's attack but fell short due to the sheer difference in their skill. Nevertheless, Igaguri refused to let Shidou continue his attack and grabbed his shoulder to stop him.

Despite being pulled back, Blue Lock chapter 287 saw Shidou make the pass to Rin. Fortunately, both Isagi and Kaiser reached the Paris X Gen striker and blocked his shot, the rebound of which led to a goal-kick. Just after Isagi and Kaiser stopped Rin, Isagi expressed that while watching Rin and Shidou struggle together was fun, as geniuses, they would never be able to win by using the methods used by talented learners.

"Play soccer more seriously, geniuses. In terms of brains, there’s no way you can beat us."

Blue Lock chapter 287 spoilers then saw the match get stopped. While Paris X Gen played an advantage, there was a foul in play during the attack. Hence, Igarashi Gurimu was handed a yellow card. Just as the fullback received the booking, Noel Noa decided to sub him off.

The opponents had already seen through Igarashi Gurimu's malicia. Hence, it was evident that his abilities would not work at this level. Thus, Noel Noa wanted to get him out of the match before he would ruin Bastard Munchen's chance for a win. Igarashi wanted to keep playing as he was yet to receive an offer. If he were to leave now, his time at Blue Lock would be over. However, Noa only cared about winning and instructed Igarashi to get subbed off.

Blue Lock chapter 287 spoilers then saw Igaguri become devastated as he fell to his knees with eyes filled with tears. Just then, Isagi arrived to console him. He expressed to Igaguri that it was because of him that he was able to be here right now. With that, Isagi also expressed that he was glad that Igaguri was the 300th-ranked player in Team Z.

According to Blue Lock chapter 287 spoilers, the manga's next chapter, i.e., chapter 288 will be titled "Death Game."
