Blue Lock: Major predictions for chapter 287 spoilers

Blue Lock chapter 287 will be released on Wednesday, December 11, 2024. Hence, the manga's alleged spoilers should come out a few days before the chapter's official release. However, given that not all fans would want to wait that long, we have brought a list of major predictions here for chapter 287.

The previous chapter saw Isagi and Kaiser work together to steal the ball away from Rin Itoshi. Right after, the two talented learners worked alongside other Bastard Munchen players to create an attack. Unfortunately, Karasu and Charles blocked Isagi and Kaiser's goalscoring attempts.

What to expect from Blue Lock chapter 287?

Bastard Munchen can resume the match with a throw-in

As fans must remember, the manga's previous chapter ended with Charles Chevalier blocking Michael Kaiser's Impact Point Shot with his head. However, the manga does not reveal who the ball dropped to after it ricocheted off Charles's head. Hence, there is a good chance that it went out of bounds, giving Bastard Munchen a throw-in.

Judging by the ball's direction after it hit Charles's head, the manga's next chapter will likely start with either Kiyora Jin or Hiori Yo taking the throw-in. But something to note in this is how the previous chapter also began with a similar event. Hence, there is a chance that Karasu and Charles can steal the ball away from Isagi and Kaiser and initiate their counterattack.

Isagi and Kaiser could ideate a plan to get past Karasu and Charles

With the previous chapter ending with Tabito Karasu and Charles Chevalier unveiling themselves as talented learners as well, Isagi and Kaiser could ideate a plan to stop them. Previously, Isagi used to come up with ideas with Hiori Yo, but with Kaiser in the mix, the two aces could muster up a master plan to bypass their opponents.

The issue at hand is how Charles is an attacking midfielder, while Karasu is a defensive midfielder. In such a situation, their combination could prove lethal for any form of counterattack. Therefore, Isagi and Kaiser's main objective could be to retain the ball's possession for as long as they could.

Kunigami Rensuke could take the stage

As seen in the manga, when Noel Noa was forced to sub off after the Star Change System timer ran out, the Master Striker chose Kunigami Rensuke to replace him. But unlike Kunigami's previous contribution to the match where he seemed more focused on stopping Ryusei Shidou, this time, he looks like he is rearing to score a goal.

Therefore, the upcoming chapter could see Kunigami Rensuke interrupt Kaiser and Isagi's combination play to score a goal for himself. However, there is no way to deduce how such a possible development could play out.
