Blue Lock Chapter 226 will have Hiori substitute in the match. That right! Hiori will be substituted in the match, as he is one Isagi needs to reach the world-class level. Whenever Isagi tries to score a goal, he gets short by just one piece, and Hiori can act as that missing piece.
If you are thinking about, who will get a substitute so that Hiori would play in playing 11, then he would be Noa. I am not telling this out of the blue; the author only gave us hints about it. As chapter 226 is titled “Letter of Resignation,” meaning the five minutes are up for the coach to play, and now they have that to leave the field.
The story started to get intense as we got close to the match’s end. And not much time is left for it. Only one goal can be made in that time. Currently, Bastard Munchen is leading with one goal, so Ubers needs to score at least two goals to win the match. Let’s let the author, Muneyuki Kaneshiro, cook the last few chapters of the match between Uber and Bastard Munchen.
And if you are wondering when the next chapter of the football manga, Blue Lock, will release, then do not worry because, in this article, we will cover the release date of Blue Lock Chapter 226 with spoilers and where you can read it.
Blue Lock Chapter 226 Spoilers/Prediction
Currently, Ubers have the ball, and they will head straight for the goalpost. I don’t know for sure, but the substitution might be at the end of the chapter rather than at the beginning. And if we look closely third last panel, we can see that the place where Snuffy has tossed the ball has Lorenzo and Kaiser.
So in the Blue Lock chapter 226, we might see Kaiser trying to take the ball from Lorenzo. It might not be that easy, but Kaiser stands a chance of taking the ball. However, Lorenzo knows what Kaiser might do, so they will pass the ball back to Snuffy or Niko before Kaiser gets the chance to steal it.
I think the illustrator of Blue Lock, Yusuke Nomura, might have forgotten to draw Kunigami, as we haven’t seen him for a really long time. I mean, we have not even once seen him after he stole the ball from Ness in chapter 218. Maybe the author is cooking something for Kunigami’s comeback.
If the coach gets a substitute, Hiori will get the chance to play alongside Isagi. As we know that Hiori doesn’t care much about scoring a goal, so he will gladly help Isagi.
He has seen the entire match from the start and knows each and every player’s play style so that he can be the turning point for Isagi. Isagi also completely trusts Hiori, as he has helped many times. The match will get intense for the next few chapters, and we will love it!
