Blue Lock fans can mark their calendars for the release of Chapter 298, set to debut on Wednesday, April 2, 2025, at 12 am JST. The recent twist in the story saw Chris Prince assist Reo Mikage in scoring, which may set the stage for a pivotal moment for Seishiro Nagi as he strives to net a goal for himself. While eager readers await the official drop, we’ve compiled a set of intriguing predictions for potential spoilers regarding Chapter 298.
In Chapter 297, Nagi grappled with the expectations set by Reo Mikage’s style, facing the risk of losing possession to Lavinho when Chris Prince intervened. Instead of opting to pass to Nagi, Chris chose Reo, allowing him to score Manshine City’s equalizer, igniting Nagi’s competitive spirit.

Anticipations for Blue Lock Chapter 298
New Strategies: Seishiro Nagi’s Growth
From the events of the previous chapter, it’s evident that Chris’s refusal to pass to those not pursuing their ambitions has sparked a new fire within Nagi. Historically dependent on Reo, Nagi is at a critical juncture of self-realization, ready to break free from collaboration and start making plays on his own.
Though driven, Nagi’s current skill set primarily revolves around his trapping ability, which hinders him from scoring independently. Thus, it’s plausible that in Chapter 298, Nagi will discover a new facet of his game—an innovative tactic that boosts his ability to perform solo.
The Path to Victory: Nagi as the Game Changer
With the score tied at 2-2 in the matchup between Manshine City and FC Barcha, the next goal promises to be decisive. While there remains the possibility of FC Barcha snatching the win, it seems more likely that the narrative will center around Nagi being the one to secure victory with the final goal. Achieving this would not only elevate his ranking leading into the final auction but also signify his development as a player.
This begs the question: how will Nagi orchestrate his score? Will he take full ownership, or will he again lean on a teammate, likely Reo Mikage, to facilitate his chance to shine?
Insights from Ego Jinpachi: The Final Auction Rankings
As followers of the series are aware, only the top four players of the Final Auction Rankings have been disclosed by Ego Jinpachi. After the tension of the Manshine City and FC Barcha game, the narrative might pivot back to Jinpachi, unveiling the remaining rankings.
These rankings are critically important, particularly for the top 23 players who will represent Japan in the U-20 World Cup. Furthermore, securing a spot in these standings could open doors for other players to attract attention from professional football clubs, enabling them to forge ahead in their football journeys despite challenges in the Neo Egoist League.
