According to teasers from the last installment, Chapter 299 is slated to be called “Blue Tears.”Interestingly, Nagi’s emotional depth has evolved since he began to genuinely appreciate the game, spurred by his admiration for players like Dennis Bergkamp and the thrill of competition. Should Nagi express his sadness over his elimination from Blue Lock, it would signify a profound growth in his character. This development also answers a poignant question he raised after eliminating Asahi Naruhaya: would he shed tears upon his own elimination?

Reo Mikage, whose initial desire was to win the World Cup, later shifted focus to achieving this goal alongside his partner, Nagi. With Nagi’s downfall, Reo’s disappointment is expected to resonate deeply, as he had always envisioned them dominating the world stage together. The unfortunate turn of events following Nagi’s failure to score leaves Reo reeling as their shared aspirations seem unattainable before they’ve even participated in the U-20 World Cup.

As fans know, while only the top 23 ranks are up for grabs for the U-20 national team, the auction values for the remaining players carry significant weight for their professional futures. Players unchosen for the national team may still attract professional bids, ensuring their football journey continues. While this development may not appeal to all players, individuals like Igarashi Gurimu are likely to seize such opportunities without hesitation.

Fans can look forward to discovering what lies ahead in Blue Lock Chapter 299 as these pivotal storylines unfold.
