Blue Lock on break as chapter 295 postpones ranking announcement
Blue Lock chapter 295 is on an unplanned hiatus, and fans are left in suspense as the plot is at a critical juncture. The chapter was to reveal the new rankings, showing who earned the prized No.1 position in Blue Lock, as well as the result of the fierce FC Barcha vs. Manshine City match.
With the Neo Egoist League concluding in dramatic fashion—thanks to Isagi’s last-minute goal that crowned Bastard Munchen as champions—fans were on the edge of their seats for the next big reveal. However, just as the rankings and bids were about to be announced in chapter 294, the focus suddenly shifted to Reo and Nagi, with a cryptic “33 minutes earlier” panel appearing.
This portends a flashback to the match prior to revealing the rankings. With Phase 2 officially concluded, only 23 players shall proceed to Japan’s U-20 squad to create the penultimate showdown.
