Blue Lock 364: Full Summary & Spoilers

Blue Lock Chapter 364 is going to be released very soon, and the U-20 match is set to enter its decisive second half. With England needing only a tie to advance, Blue Lock has no choice but to win. Teddy Knight’s “zero to one” philosophy has his teammates chanting “infinity,” while Coach Fox insists on following his plan to the letter.

At the break, Blue Lock’s staff reshuffles the lineup, bringing in Chigiri and Kurona for Yukimiya and Tsurugi and shifting to a 4-1-3-2. Kurona is handed a brutal assignment: shadow Knight for 45 minutes.

As the half begins, a feint, a misread, and a surprise sprint down the sideline lead to the arrival of Isagi and Kiyora’s “Hunting Dog Press.” This chapter showcases tactical teamwork, proving that Blue Lock’s comeback begins with cooperation rather than raw talent alone. Fans can expect a sharp, high-stakes chapter packed with strategy.

Blue Lock Chapter 363 Recap

The previous chapter opens with the Side-B arc, where the survivors of the first stage gather in the victor waiting room. Nagi notes that they cleared the stage but plenty of players remain, and Mizushi guesses roughly half of the 300 are left. Hirotoshi Buratsuta then welcomes them as his “little geniuses” and reveals the second stage: the Taboo Game.

Players form teams of six and play mini-game brackets, with the first team to three points winning its bracket. Only the three bracket winners advance to the third stage. The twist is that every player is handed a prohibited action. Kira can’t shoot, Shindo can’t kick with his right leg, and Nagi can’t trap the ball. Nagi shrugs it off with a “sounds like fun.”

Chapter 364 returns to the U-20 match and opens at half time in the English locker room. Coach Fox rallies his players, telling them that if they follow his plan to the letter again, they will win. Teddy Knight’s “zero to one” philosophy gets an enthusiastic “infinity” chant from his teammates.

At Blue Lock Stadium, the commentary notes that the second half is nearly here. Blue Lock is making substitutions: Kenyu Yukimiya and Zantetsu Tsurugi, who scored the goal, are coming off.

They were effective early, but their impact faded after the first thirty minutes. In their place come Hyoma Chigiri and Ranze Kurona. The stakes are clear: England advances with a tie or better, so Blue Lock must win. Isagi, listening to Knight call himself a worthless puppet, faces the same question as everyone else: can these two turn the game around?

The second half kicks off with Lockhart on the ball, and Kurona immediately shadows Knight. Knight taunts him with “worthless” and “one to infinity,” then asks if Kurona is marking him. Kurona simply says, “I am.” Knight’s teammate also notes that Kurona is good at tight turns.

A flashback shows the Blue Lock Japan locker room, where the coach explains the plan. Kurona will chase Teddy Knight with everything he has and stick to him for 45 minutes. Kurona accepts the role with some humor, noting that his training involved chasing all sorts of dogs around.

The coach explains that Chigiri replaces Tsurugi as part of a formation change to 4-1-3-2, which means the double-winger Cerberus system is off the table. Chigiri admits he wanted more playing time and had been itching for a showdown with a certain idiot. The coach tells Kurona that he will influence the direction of the second half, starting with the first attack of the comeback.

Back on the pitch, Kurona drives forward. Knight reads him perfectly, expecting a feint, a held-back step, and then a cut inside, and prepares to react. But Kurona doesn’t cut in. He blasts up the sideline instead, charging forward. The defenders who were waiting for the cut are caught off guard, and Knight wonders how they keep falling for this.

Then Jin Kiyora appears and snaps at the defender who fell for it, calling him a worthless creep. Knight realizes the two small players are working as a unit. Isagi’s side confirms it: this is how they plan to nullify Teddy Knight in the second half. The chapter ends with Isagi and Kiyora declaring the “Hunting Dog Press” is on.

Blue Lock Chapter 364 SPOILERS & SUMMARY

PAGE 01

Chapter 364: “Betting Everything on One Point (Part 1)”

Notice: Due to Yusuke Nomura suddenly falling ill, this week’s issue of Blue Lock will only feature up to page 8 of Chapter 364. The continuation of this chapter is scheduled to be published in WSM Issue 46, on sale 14 October. We sincerely apologise to our readers for any inconvenience caused. We hope you will continue to support Blue Lock.

“Kurona & Kiyora shine! Japan takes the initiative at the start…!”

Anri: Yes!! Having Kurona man-mark Teddy Knight to take away his freedom, and then having Kiyora hunt him down when he tries to break free! This is only possible because of the combination of Kiyora, who has an exceptional instinct for sensing that decisive boundary where it comes down to whether or not the ball can be won back, and Kurona, who possesses highly consistent agility.

PAGE 02

Anri: Teddy Knight, completely shut down!!!

Kurona: Yes!!

Kiyora: Take that!! We’re gonna crush them!! That was bloody brilliant, Ranze!!

Kurona: NEXT, NEXT.

Anri: Ego’s adjustments are really paying off in this second half…! We can do this!!

Ego: If we shut down Teddy Knight, England’s overall strength will drop considerably…

PAGE 03

Ego: What’s the matter, Fox? Aren’t you going to substitute Teddy Knight now that we’ve shut him down? You’ve got plenty of soldiers to replace him, don’t you? Or is there some reason you can’t replace him?

For example, Teddy Knight’s rate of growth has been faster than even that clever brain of yours anticipated, to the point where he’s already become an irreplaceable presence for England… Something like that?

PAGE 04

Fox: I bloody love you, Jinpachi♪! I love that side of you! I love playing football against someone as clever as you!!

PAGE 05

Fox: You didn’t seriously think I hadn’t anticipated a strategy of this level from you, did you?

Anri: It’s not just happening on the battlefield…! Football is a sport where a fierce battle of wits between the managers also takes place outside the battlefield!!!

Fox: My 0→1 never goes off course.

Ego: That sort of thing about you is exactly what I hate.

PAGE 06

Fwooo!

PAGE 07

Karasu: Fwooo! A free run from the left-wing position towards the centre of the battlefield?!

Kiyora: Is he trying to shake off Ranze’s man-marking?!
Wait… this is…!!

PAGE 08

Kiyora: That idiot…!! An unknown formation where he runs alongside Number 9!!

Lockhart: Let’s go, Teddy boy.

Kurona: Nyu!? Is he trying to get past us with a one-two?!

“A new tactical combination of Number 11 × Number 9 once again comes crashing down on Japan…!!”

To be continued in the next issue with “Betting Everything on One Point (Part 2)”!

To sum it up – 

In the first part of chapter 364, Japan takes control at the start of the second half thanks to Ego’s adjustments. The strategy has Kurona man marking Teddy Knight to restrict his movements, while Kiyora takes advantage of any attempt he makes to break free and win the ball back. The combination works, and Teddy is effectively shut down.

Ego then provokes Fox by questioning why he has not substituted Teddy, considering that England has plenty of other players available. He even suggests that Teddy’s growth has been so rapid that he has already become an indispensable presence for the English team.

Rather than being affected by Ego’s provocation, Fox reveals that he had already anticipated this kind of strategy. The two managers therefore continue their battle of wits away from the pitch, while Fox makes it clear that his 0→1 will not be thrown off course.

Finally, Teddy leaves his position on the left wing and makes a free run towards the centre, moving alongside Lockhart, number 9. Kiyora realises that this is a new tactical formation, as Teddy and Lockhart prepare to use their Number 11 and Number 9 combination, potentially through a one two, to break through Japan’s defence once again.

In short, Japan manages to temporarily neutralise Teddy through Kurona and Kiyora, but Fox responds with a new play that sets the Teddy and Lockhart combination back into motion, leaving the chapter at the beginning of another tactical confrontation.
