Chapter 190 Spoilers
One more day till the anime, is everyone as excited as I am? Canā€™t believe the time is finally here, I donā€™t think I was this excited for the first episode of an anime to come out since ā€œKuroshitsuji:Book of Circusā€ was announced!
Until then though, letā€™s see the spoilers for chapter 190!
Tumblr media
As we can see, Isagi and Nagi are still fighting for the possession of that ball and itā€™s tooth and mail at this point! Neither one of them is willing to concede to the other and theyā€™re making the best use of their weapons for themselves!
Isagi remarks that Nagi is picking a fight with him, by not going after the vacant spot behind Kaiser (which Reo also noted in 189) and he also observes how Nagiā€™s traps skills have evolved into ā€œA trap that doesnā€™t kill speedā€.
Tumblr media
Using his new and improved Meta Vision, Isagi anticipates Nagiā€™s movements, taking care to plan his moves and not fall for his traps, like in the past; he goes in for a head shot..
but unfortunately, Nagi still retains possession of the ball!
Tumblr media
Executing a series of traps that get him past both Kaiser and Isagi
(and which are reminescent of Bachiraā€™s playstyle to me)
Nagi approaches the net,
as the goalkeeper, Gagamaru, loudly yells out Isagiā€™s name, in an attempt to warn him of whatā€™s coming.
Tumblr media
Nagiā€™s egoism is now in full throttle and he can no longer be stopped, as he takes his shot!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
In between Kaiser and Isagi, Nagi shoots for the goal, as Gagamaru dives in order to stop the ball, yet all of it is futile;
Nagi Seishiro scores a goal for Manshine City, bringing the score to a tie, 2 - 2 now!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
In the end Nagi and Reo celebrate this success, the score has become tied, with only one point left until the end of the game; whoever scores it, will be the official winner!

Chapter 190 Predictions
Ok, so itā€™s been a busy day, but Iā€™m finally getting to my predictions for chapter 190 of Blue Lock. That being said, I remember itā€™s to be called ā€œVortexā€, which reminded me of a comment from before regarding Isagi; I think it was Agi who was calling him ā€œthe eye of the stormā€?šŸ¤”
Just a secā€¦
Tumblr media
Yep, it was Agi. šŸ˜‚
That being said, I guess the chapter will be likely about Isagi and Nagiā€™s interaction in this 1 vs. 1 and seeing who comes out of it victorious.
So, letā€™s see those predictions:
- Nagi making those acrobatic plays of his, where he manipulates the ball with his full body, in order to send it where he wants it;
- Isagi doing a decent job of keeping up with Nagi;
- maybe some more passes between Nagi and Reo?
- Kaiser possibly getting in the way again, cuz by now, we all know thatā€™s his styleā€¦šŸ˜’šŸ˜©;
- I would like to say that Isagi will completely block Nagi and steal possession of the ball, but somehow, I donā€™t think thatā€™s gonna happenā€¦;
- Nagi scoring a goal, so that the score can be tied at 2 - 2 now and the stakes can be raised for the next play from Bastard Munchen;
- weā€™ll get to see a few reactions from the people sitting on the bench, from those watching the game online and maybe from Yukimiya and Kunigami too?
This is about it, what I have so far; once I get to it, Iā€™ll post the spoilers too!

Chapter 189 Spoilers
Ok, so the spoilers for chapter 189 have been out for a good, long while, but I still want to keep some consistency, so Iā€™m posting them now and after, Iā€™ll get to my theories for 190 and then, the spoilers for that one.
Tumblr media
So, the game starts off strongly for the English team, the Nagi-Reo combo surprising many of the players on the German team. Even so, Kaiser and Isagi are still keeping their cool and trying to determine the best move they can make to regain control of the field.
Tumblr media
Now, we get to Reo gushing over Nagi, like he tends to do, going down flashback lane (including some which are actually from the Nagi episode, which was a nice touch!) and being all sappy, like
ā€œI canā€™t believe youā€™ve finally found your dream, Nagi!ā€, ā€œItā€™s all thanks to you that I can fight nowā€, ā€œIf weā€™re together we can do anything!ā€
- Iā€™m paraphrasing, though barely, trust me!!!
And to all of that, honestly, the only thing I got to say is this:
SPAAAAAAAAARE ME.
THIS IS BLUE LOCK.
GET OUT OF HERE WITH THAT.
Tumblr media
Now Nagi and Reo are working together in order to get past the players from Bastard Munchen, by using those quick and precise passes that they employed in the past as well, with Reo guiding Nagi on the field and Nagi trapping the ball accordingly.
Reoā€™s a better player than before, which shows and Nagi also remarks upon it, but that only makes me feel that itā€™s a pity heā€™s once more chosen a supporting role for himself.
Indeed, Nagi and Reo seem to be on a roll, but thenā€¦
Tumblr media
Who better to stop them and curve their advance, but Isagi and Kaiser?
Reo is utterly astonished they were able to read his and Nagiā€™s play (which, honestly, he shouldnā€™t be, Isagiā€™s seen them play together before and Kaiser, no matter how much I might dislike him, has got actual skill). Nagi is also surprised to see his path being blocked at first and then his eyes seem to get dark, like Kaiserā€™s get when heā€™s in a bad mood, as Nagi is now forced to send the ball back to Reo, becuz he canā€™t get past both Isagi and Kaiser alone.
Tumblr media
And this is how we get to the final pages of chapter 189:
Reo judging that the best scoring pass is behind Kaiser, but dismissing all of that becuz this is about Nagi and what Nagi wants, what he dreams of, is victory against Isagi, so heā€™s gonna go ahead and challenge Isagi in a sort of 1 on 1 for possession of the ball.
Only the spoilers for chapter 190 will tell whether Reo is gonna regret that or notā€¦

Chapter 189 Predictions
Ok, so I got the chance to read chapter 188 and I saw that chapter 189 is to be called
ā€œYes, Bossā€
ā€¦ as if we needed any more clues that it was going to be heavy on the Nagi-Reo interactions.
ā€¦šŸ˜…šŸ˜‚šŸ˜…šŸ˜…
Anyway, here are my predictions for it:
- lots of Reoā€™s perspective, his thoughts and feeelings in chapter 189;
- maybe a bit of Isagiā€™s pov as well;
- as Reo and Nagi take over the field, we will see Isagi and Kaiser trying to stop them;
- perhaps Reo & Nagiā€™s teamwork will be contrasted to Isagi and Kaiserā€™sā€¦ playingā€¦šŸ˜…;
- (I wanna see) more Yukimiya content;šŸ˜†ā¤ļøāš½ļø
- Nagi will score a goal;
- if Nagi doesnā€™t score a goal, weā€™ll instead get a cliffhanger where heā€™s about to score a goal, but Isagi gets in the way;
Ok, so these are my predictions so far! Iā€™ll take a look for the spoilers later and see how close or far off the mark I was; in any case, who do yā€™all think is going to win this match?
Bastard Munchen or Manshine City?

Chapter 188 Spoilers
Iā€™m late and I know it, so Iā€™ll just get straight to the point.
Tumblr media
So, chapter 188 opens with the face off between Kunigami and Agi and I feel like I gotta say, besides the 2 goals heā€™s managed to score so far, Kunigami hasnā€™t really shown a lot of progress during matches, in my pov; does anyone else also feel the same?
On another note, Iā€™m happy to see Agi acknowledging Isagi though.
Tumblr media
Then, Isagi is reminded of the match up between Noa and Lavinho, but this time, he is much better prepared and far more capable of reading the flow of the match, so that he can correctly discern his next move. He sees what Agi intends to do and he plans to steal the ball from him, as he tries to move past Kunigami.
Tumblr media
Too bad heā€™s not the only one whoā€™s had that idea.
Kaiser thought of the very same thing and because of that, the English team still has possession of the ball, as neither one of them could gain control of it during their scuffle.
Also, SOMEONE BETTER TELL KAISER TO KEEP HIS HANDS TO HIMSLEF, Iā€™M DEAD SERIOUS HERE!!!
Tumblr media
Then, we can see that the ball that Isagi/ Kaiser were supposed to get, is now in Reoā€™s possession, who is determined to prove the worth of his and Nagiā€™s combo.
And Nagi remarks that he can clearly see the image of Reoā€™s goal. This reminds me of their teamwork from the past, when Reo was the one with a vision that he entrusted to Nagi.
I wonder if things will be different now.
Tumblr media
As we can see here though, that isnā€™t what the doctor, or the coach, prescribed.
Bastard Munchen may be slightly surprised by what Reo is doing on the field, but Agi clearly disagrees, as he sees that Nagi is moving according to Reoā€™s ideals, instead of developing his own creativity, like Chris had instructed them to do.
I have to say, at this point in time, I agree with Agi; itā€™s not like Reo and Nagi are always going to play together and unless they can become the best versions of themselves without relying on the other, I donā€™t think theyā€™ll get far.
Still, this is Blue Lock and what matters are results, so letā€™s see whether there is indeed more than meets the eye to this combo, this time.
Letā€™s see if they will be able to score.
Because so far, all I see is a Reo whoā€™s ecstatic to have been told by Nagi that he needs him.
All I can say is that that should have been an ā€œI want youā€, not an ā€œI need you.ā€, in my humble pov.
Tumblr media
Really canā€™t get how Nagi seems so happy here to put his all into support for Nagi, his new chameleon style and his flow, just so he can become an extension of him.
It may work or it may not; unlike their previous combo, this one seems more centered on providing use and opportunities for Nagi, kind of like what Isagi and Rin had, in the match against the former U-20, maybe.
Tumblr media
Now, itā€™s only a matter of whether theyā€™ll both be able to live with their choice, no matter the outcome.

Chapter 188 Predictions
Ok, so chapter 188 is to be called ā€œVortexā€, which besides being the title of a song from The Gazette, refers to a whirling mass of air/water, generally speaking. Personally, when I think about this, I think about the way a vortex looks, with the currents swirling in that spiral shape in the middle, extending to the edges.
That being said, I think this word will be used to describe a new style of playing and its effects on the field; like how we had ā€œPlanet Hotlineā€ for Isagi & Kurona, I think weā€™re going to have ā€œVortexā€, for Nagi & Reo.
So letā€™s see what I predict weā€™re gonna get:
- a whole lot of double-spreads, maybe more than single pages in this chapters and at least 3 of them in a row;
- lots of analysis from Isagiā€™s pov, but also from Reo & Nagi themselves, with a side of Agi, Chris and bench observations from Hiori and Raichi;
- maybe Chigiri is also gonna end up integrated in Reo & Nagiā€™s new combo, somehow?;
- Manshine City scoring a goal (or getting pretty close to it);
- I want some Yukimiya action, but I donā€™t feel confident Iā€™m gonna get it this chapter eitherā€¦šŸ˜¢;
- Nagi is gonna try and be cool as he returns Isagiā€™s words back to him/ comes up with some sort of come-back (thatā€™s not as cool as he thinks, but rather kind of cringyā€¦ šŸ˜…);
- Kaiser commenting some more on Nagi and Reo too and somehow, still finding a way to insert a dig to Isagiā€™s address in that;
Ok, so thatā€™s it, thatā€™s what I have so far. Now, itā€™s only a matter of waiting for the spoilers and seeing how close/ far from the mark I was!

Chapter 187 Spoilers
Gosh, Iā€™m coming up with these later and later, but Iā€™ll do something about that! Letā€™s get to it!
Tumblr media
First, we get some of that Nagi-Reo interaction that began in the previous chapter, but ended on a cliffhanger and first of all, we have a Reo who is pissed off with Nagi and rightfully so, in my opinion.
I mean, I donā€™t know how others see Nagi, but to me, at least, he comes across as sort of wishy-washy, lazy and maybe aso a bit entitled? Particularly in the begining and I still havenā€™t seen as much growth from his character as I would have liked, personally speaking.
Even here, Reo is telling Nagi that heā€™s not thinking about the feelings of others at all, becuz just when he (Reo) had decided to fight alone, Nagi comes asking for his help.
But Nagi replies to that by saying that all the choices he has made until now were so that he and Reo together, could win the World Cup.
Tumblr media
Then Reo callz Nagi ā€œtroublesomeā€ cuz HE ISā€¦ and HE IS. Like really, how was Reo suppossed to know that Nagi was thinking about all of this when he wasnā€™t saying a word about it?!?!
And now Reo is thinking of it too, asking Nagi if thatā€™s his ego talking now, for the two of them together to take down Isagi.
Tumblr media
And now theyā€™re back to being a two man team, I guess. Canā€™t say Iā€™m thrilled with this development; I liked it more when Reo was trying to make his way in the world of football on his own, by making himself shine, just for himself, instead of for Nagiā€™s sake, so they could play together and he could be Nagiā€™s support on the field.
And Nagi had just started doing more growing on his own, in the world of the sport, by using his own head to think up strategies and moves. Thereā€™s a part of me thinking that maybe heā€™s expecting ideas from Reo, to be guided by him, like in the past and Iā€™m not sure I can envision separate and significant growth for the both of them, now that they are back together.
Tumblr media
Next up, in contrast with the above mentioned making up, we have Kunigami and Isagi, who are stillā€¦ not on good terms, to put it lightly.
Their conversation goes like this:
Tumblr media
Tbh, I get why Isagi is pissed, I really, REALLY do, cuz Iā€™m pissed with Kaiser too, a GREAT DEAL, AT THAT, but hey, this is Blue Lock; one playerā€™s pinch, is another playerā€™s opportunity and if I didnā€™t agree with Isagiā€™s goal being called a ā€œleft over goalā€ in the match against the former U-20 (which I DIDNā€™T & STILL DONā€™T), then I donā€™t agree with Kunigamiā€™s goal being regarded as such either.
Tumblr media
After this brief exchange between the characters, the game is restarteze by Manshine City, as their opponents are now just one goal away from victory and thatā€™s left for us to do, is follow them on journey, just like always!

Chapter 187 Predictions
Ok, so, as we already know, chapter 187 is called ā€œCrossroadā€ and seeing where chapter 186 left things off between Nagi and Reo, I can not help but think that this title is centered on them and their relationship (but on Reo in particular). As such, here are my theories:
- weā€™ll be seeing a lot of flashbacks from Reoā€™s side as he wavers on what to do;
- I am thinking whether Reo answering one thing and then doing another on the field is a posibility? (likely not, but still);
- like how Barou imagined his future that one time, watching Isagi on screen from home, as the former played in a pro match, Reo is also gonna envision a possible future for him and then decide whether thatā€™s something he wants or not;
- I know itā€™s a cheesy line, but I still want Reo to tell Nagi not to underestimate football, like Isagi did when they first met; I mean, Nagi is already the center of his team, everyone is supposed to pass to him so that he can score and Agi is focused on developing his creativity, what more does he want? For Reo to lead him by the hand, like before, so he doesnā€™t have to do any thinking of his own?;
- maybe a bit of focus on other characters as well, like Chris and Agi or the guys on the benches;
- Iā€™d love some Yukimiya focus too (but likely itā€™s still not the time for that just yet);
- honestly, I want Reo to say ā€œNoā€ to Nagi, but Iā€™m not sure what heā€™ll do: maybe heā€™ll refuse him, maybe heā€™ll accept or maybe heā€™ll just use Nagi to score his own goal; either way, I hope it will be a choice he can live with.
This would be it, what I have so far; now itā€™s only a matter of waiting for the spoilers and watching things unfold.

Chapter 186 Spoilers
Iā€™m going to have some more free time starting this upcoming week, so this really shouldnā€™t take me this much longer. In any case, things are getting exciting! I feel like weā€™re on the brink of something unbelievableā€¦
Tumblr media
Ok, so first of all, we have Isagi commenting on how now that he and Kaiser can see the same landscape, Kaiser messes with his play, forcing him to try and score from a disadvantegeous position, where Kunigami interfered.
Still, this doesnā€™t change Isagiā€™s mind:
ā€œI want a goal!ā€
That being said, Isagi knows that ā€œTranscendental Sightā€ is an amazing ability and deduces that other pros must also have it.
Tumblr media
Like Sae, for example; Isagi believes he can better understand his plays in the match vs the former U-20.
Unfortunately, on the other hand, it looks like this playstyle has taken its toll on Isagi, both mentally and physically draining him of energy. Even so, in true protagonist fashion, he refuses to give up, wanting to prove his value as the best in the world: truly admirable.
Tumblr media
Now begins the other half of the chapter, from Reoā€™s perspective, this time, as he notices that Isagi is becoming more and more of a monster, during the match; still, Reo reminds himself that he should despair as he compares himself with Isagi:
ā€œI am me.ā€
Even so, memories of his past alongside Nagi beging to enter Reoā€™s current train of thought, despite his wishes.
Tumblr media
Even then, those memories are not entirely bad, at least not in my opinion, cuz just as Reo remarks, he came out of them with a powerful realization: that he can still play soccer, even without Nagi, growing stronger after experiencing defeat.
Just like Nagi changed when he wanted to play soccer with Isagi, Reo is also changing and there is nothing wrong with that and with his feelings of wanting to prove heā€™s the best.
However, at this point in time, the one who appears before Reo, to derail his path with his selfishness, is none other than his former partner, who boldly declares:
ā€œI want to win.ā€
Tumblr media
Commenting that Isagi is getting further ahead of him and that with the way he is now, he canā€™t beat him, Nagi resembles a petulant child more and more, in my opinion, even complaining that ā€œsoccer isnā€™t fun at all nowā€.
Gotta say, I share Reoā€™s feelings now:
Heck if I care! Not my problem!
(I think Nagi may also be telling Reo that the soccer they played together was fun? Though Iā€™m not completely sure about that.)
And finally, in the last panelā€¦ I do believe Nagi is telling Reo that he needs his help and asking for that? Obviously, Reo is shaken, as he stops in his tracks at what is definitely a crossroads moment in his football, that will forever define his future, based on his next choiceā€¦ which is why it is suitable that the next chapter is set to be titled just that:
ā€œCrossroad.ā€

Chapter 186 Predictions
Ok, so chapter 186 is set to be called ā€œKarmaā€, right? Thatā€™s a title that makes me ask whose karma are we talking about? Isagiā€™s? Kaiserā€™s? Someone elseā€™s? If we were talking about Isagiā€™s, maybe this refers to how heā€™ll see more of his goals get stollen, like he steals othersā€™? Still, in such a case, I would have expected chapter 185 to be called ā€œKarmaā€ā€¦ That being said, letā€™s get to theory time.
In regards to the ā€œkarmaā€ idea, I see many possibilities, so Iā€™ll list them all here:
- Noa or someone else is going to replace Kaiser on the field and work together with Isagi;
- team Manshine City will now score a goal;
- Isagi is gonna get control of the ball, but Nagi is gonna steal it from him, get blocked by Reo or Chigiri and then one of the 2 will score;
Moving on from the ā€œkarmaā€ point, I also predict the following:
- the colour page of chapter 185 will feature a whole Blue Lock team;
- weā€™ll finally switch over to Yukimiyaā€™s perspective sometime during this chapter;
- speaking of Yukimiya, heā€™s gonna be frustrated at himself, for not having contributed more the game so far, but he will have a chance to do that, as he will have possession of the ball at one point;
- I forsee Yukimiya having to make that choice at one point, between Isagi or Kaiser; knowing him though, heā€™ll want to chose himself.

Chapter 185 Spoilers
So, I know that the spoilers for 186 are almost out (if theyā€™re not already), but Iā€™m still gonna post the ones for 185 here! Iā€™ll try instead to keep on top of the spoilers for 186 tomorrow!
Ok, so 185 started with a brief recap, with the moments when Isagi was still rushing towards the net and expecting Kuronaā€™s pass in order to score. Kurona seems like heā€™s feeling the pressure, while Isagi, on the other hand, looks elated, doesnā€™t he? He can already envision his goal, after all.
Tumblr media
And then in comes the self-centered, self-proclaimed Emperor to ruin it all, cuz of course he does; ā€œWelcome to my dimension, Yoichi.ā€
Ok, first of all, HE CAN PISS OFF!
Secondly, Isagi DID NOT give Kaiser permission to call him Yoichi.
Thirdly, THE HELL, does he think heā€™s doing?!?! Itā€™s like, he completely blocked that shot!!! As if he was a defender from Manshine City, not the centre-forward for Bastard Munchen!!!
Though he is a right BASTARD!!!
Even so, refuses to give up and still atempts to score, kinda via a nutmeg??
Tumblr media
I have to say, at this point, that I love these panels where the perspective is like ā€œyouā€™re the football drawing ever closer to the netā€.
Tumblr media
Too bad that Isagi couldnā€™t score that one himself and it instead became an assist for Kunigami; at least the German team is now in the lead.
Tumblr media
But Kaiser now has time to run his mouth, which is the downside to that, especially as Isagi is lamenting over this missed oportunity.
And Kaiser seriously needs to ZIP IT!!!
Yeah, maybe the ball wasnā€™t following the perfect trajectory that Isagi envisioned cuz of him, but that donā€™t mean it couldnā€™t have been a goal; maybe the goalkeeper was gonna miss or the ball was gonna hit a pole and bounce in the net, or maybe something else resulting in a goal was gonna occur. Loads of goals have been scored from less than ideal positions too!
Tumblr media
But Iā€™m hands down, all the way with Isagi, in the ā€œDESTROY KAISERā€ camp, like, go for it, Isagi, Iā€™m rooting for you!!!šŸ‘ŠšŸ»šŸ‘ŠšŸ»šŸ‘ŠšŸ»šŸ‘ŠšŸ»šŸ‘ŠšŸ»
And Noa-sensei is acknowledging all his efforts too, as well as his chosen path, so Iā€™m all the more excited for that!

Chapter 185 Predictions
Iā€™m gonna have a full week-end, so Iā€™m taking advantage of the time I have now to get my predictions out; it may take me a while then to post the spoilers. In any case, here we go!
- Isagi is gonna score (he has to, with a chapter called ā€œRebirthā€, right? Right?!);
- in the eventuality that Isagi doesnā€™t score, that will be because of either Kaiser or Nagi getting in his way, I think theyā€™re his toughest competition atm, especially Kaiser;
- maybe more commentary from the bench, on whatā€™s going on during the game?
- if last chapter we got a bit of Kunigami, Iā€™d say that itā€™s now time to get a glimpse of Yukimiya, at least;
- weā€™re gonna have Noa or Chris express their opinions on the game too;
- Iā€™d like to hear ā€œDoctorā€ Agiā€™s thoughts as well, on Isagiā€™s play;
- even if Isagi himself doesnā€™t score, the German team will still take the lead in the game, in terms of goals;
All right, this is what I have so far! Iā€™ll look into the spoilers a bit later and eventually post them here as well!

Chapter 184 Spoilers
Suuuuuper late, I know, Iā€™ve gotten real busy lately and tbh, in my free time, all or almost all I wanna do, is sleep the days away. Either way, here come the spoilers for 184.
Ok, so first of all, we have Hiori and Igaguri commenting on Isagiā€™s moves, his success at stealing the ball from Nagi, I believe and then, we see the man in question making his way across the field, as Kurona approaches him with a question about his next step. That being said, I get the feeling that whatever Kurona is thinking about, Isagi has another idea.
Tumblr media
We can again see him analysing the whole field and keeping track of everyone, like Kaiser in the back, while anticipating a path opening up for him down the middle of the field. Isagi is relentless and unstoppable, constantly thinking his moves through and pushing himself to go further and further in order to cosume more information about the state of the field than anyone else out there.
Tumblr media
He is 43 meters away from the goal and going so far as to think of even himself as just another chess piece that he can use, based on his own abilities, in order to score a goal:
Tumblr media
ā€œExecution and thinking
Output and input
Do it at the same time!ā€
Tumblr media
This panel here below has too much going on for Google Translate to process that, but nonetheless, itā€™s cool as HECK YEEEEEAH!!!
Tumblr media
Next, we can see Isagi following the plan he has set in his mind and he arrives at a point where he is able to visualize the best pass course towards Kunigami.
Tumblr media
However, he surprises everyone at this point, by using Kunigami as a sort of decoy and while the defender focuses his attention on Isagiā€™s teammate that scored a goal in the previous match, Isagi seemingly advances towards scoring his own goal.
But even that is nothing more than a trap (though not one of those Nagi is known for catchingšŸ˜‰) for instead of shooting, Isagi in fact passes the ball to Kurona as he moves into his opponentā€™s blind spot in order to wait for the final pass that would allow him to score the second goal of the second match and Isagiā€™s first goal in the Neo Egoist League.
Tumblr media
That being said, what do yā€™all think? Is Isagi going to score that goal or not? Will he succeed?
Just one more day until we find out!!!šŸ˜„šŸ˜„šŸ˜„ā¤ļøšŸ’™šŸ¤žšŸ»āš½ļøā¤ļøšŸ’™šŸ¤žšŸ»āš½ļøā¤ļøšŸ’™šŸ¤žšŸ»āš½ļø

Chapter 184 Predictions
Feeling under the weather today, but Iā€™ll do my best to get these (and then the spoilers) out to everyone!
- bench commentary on Isagiā€™s moves (like maybe from Hiori, Noel?) and maybe even from Kaiser?
- Isagi having the chance to pass the ball to someone else, but refusing to do so, cuz he wants to score his own goal;
- perhaps Reo and Chigiri scrambling to catch up and stop him? Iā€™d say Nagi too, but I canā€™t see him scrambling to do anything!šŸ˜…šŸ˜‚
- Isagi exchanging passes with Kurona or Yukimiya in order to get closer to the goal;
- Kaiser drawing ever closer to the goal himself, making Isagi more wary of him?
- maybe Yukimiya and Kunigami kind of flanking Isagi, waiting for a pass or their own chance to score as heā€™s surrounded by the opposing team and in danger of losing the ball?
- Isagi scoring a goal/ the chapter ending on a cliffhanger where heā€™s just one step away from scoring.
Now, Iā€™ll be checking out the spoilers once I feel up to it and seeing just how close or far to it I was this time, in my predictions! Until later

Ok, so the spoilers for chapter 183 are out too, they can be found at the below link and I would just like to say, itā€™s finally looking like Isagiā€™s time to shine has come and I couldnā€™t be happier about that if I tried!

That being said, in the begining of the chapter, we actually get to see everyone reelling back after Kaiserā€™s goal, as the fans watching through their screens are amaized at his performance. Everyone seems affected, from Reo, Nagi and Chigiri, to even Agi and Chris Prince, watching from the sidelines.

Isagi, however, is already thinking about how he can make Kaiserā€™s vision his and implement it into his own formula. He desires more information in order to grasp what is happening on the field, ā€œwho is aiming for what and what will happen nextā€, by using ā€œcontinuous high-speed simultaneous processing in the back of his headā€, as he looks around himself in order to gather data without stopping.
I think Isagi is also commenting how Reo is on his own for now and how if he can not break through the defense of the German team on his own, he will likely trade passes with Agi, in order to do so; in these conditions Isagi is not noticing a hole in their play, yet he seems to be enjoying himself.
Tumblr media
ā€œOne more thinking circuit!ā€
ā€œSurper sense of existence!ā€
ā€œDonā€™t let this thought break!ā€
ā€œLet me read more!ā€

And after that, we have ALL OF THE FOLLOWING and just what Isagi is noticing, like how the net is still 35 m away, how Nagi has taken a step back and also, a weakness in the other team that he can exploit? Thereā€™s a lot of text there and I only got Google Translate on my side, so I couldnā€™t catch all of that, but I think it must be something of the sort.
Tumblr media
Then, we slowly return from Isagiā€™s mindscape to the real world, as we can see the puzzle pieces give way to the surroundings of the Blue Lock facility. Nagi sidesteps his opponent and prepares to receive the ball from Agi afterwards, before continuing his course.

However, Isagi succeeds in breaking their flow and gaining possession of the ball, stealing it from Nagi.
Tumblr media
Iā€™m pretty pissed that Google Translate wonā€™t work on this page for most of Isagiā€™s lines, so the only word I got from him was ā€œcreativityā€ and at the bottom of the page, Nagiā€™s ā€œwowā€.
Tumblr media
Following that, I think someone comments that Isagi has started moving differently from how he did until now (though Iā€™m not sure whoā€™s making that commentary), while Isagi remarks:
ā€œI understand everything.ā€
Tumblr media
And this final page, just tells you everything you need to know about how Isagiā€™s feeling; heā€™s in the zone, feeling the rush and having a blast. The translation says ā€œToo much soccer!!ā€, but if I had to guess, itā€™s more about how soccer is just too much fun, given Isagiā€™s wide grin, as heā€™s dashing across the field.
Tumblr media
Uuuuggghhh, Iā€™m so excited for next weekā€™s chapter!!!šŸ˜†ā¤ļøā¤ļøā¤ļøā¤ļøā¤ļø

Chapter 183 Predictions
Ok, so in just a couple of hours, Iā€™m gonna go check if the spoilers for chapter 183 are out. Until then, here are my predictions, first of all:
- we are gonna have an Isagi-centric chapter
- there will be a whole lot of narration, puzzle piecesā€¦ and maybe like those sort of hologram pictures that we saw in earlier chapters, when Reo was copying Sae and Rin?
- speaking of which, in order to show Isagiā€™s evolution, maybe there will be a sort of hologram of him too or a new visual metaphor, besides the puzzle pieces used until now;
- live commentary from other characters on how Isagi seems to be playing differently after Kaiserā€™s goal (cuz you canā€™t do without!šŸ˜‰);
- some Yukimiya and Kunigami action too!;
- I donā€™t think Isagi is gonna score a goal yet, but maybe heā€™s gonna get possession of the ball and start heading towards the net;
- Isagi exchanging passess with Kurona once more, as he moves across the field.
Ok, so this is it, this is what I got so far! Now, I just gotta wait and see just how close or far off the mark I was. Look forward to me posting the spoilers a bit later today!
