What to expect from Blue Lock Chapter 239?
Blue Lock Chapter 239 will most likely see the match between Bastard Munchen and Ubers finally come to a conclusion. It was a long battle, with several Meta Vision users taking out each other with their newly acquired weapons. However, Hiori and Isagi managed to synchronize their Meta Visions to score a super goal, giving their team the victory.
That said, the match saw Hiori Yo decide to retire from soccer. However, this decision may change after he assisted Isagi in scoring the decisive goal. So the upcoming Chap can focus on him and his final decision.
If not, Blue Lock Chapter 239 might as well focus on Michael Kaiser. He is Bastard Munchen’s trump card, who always wants to be the team’s top scorer. Therefore, after seeing Isagi opposing his opinion, he challenged the striker to see who would score the most goals against Ubers.
Given that Isagi scored two goals in the match against Ubers, while he only scored one, Kaiser lost. Therefore, his reaction towards the same could be very important to the plot of the story. Additionally, fans must remember that Bastard Munchen’s next match will be against Paris X Gen. Therefore, the upcoming Chapter may also focus on Rin Itoshi.
