Gagamaru SAVES BLUE LOCK! Blue Lock Chapter 318 Spoilers!
Gagamaru is the guardian god of Japan and he has maintained Blue Lock’s dominance in this match!
In the previous Blue Lock chapter, Blue Lock dominates the first half as Reo scores the second goal and Onazi challenges Isagi.
Blue Lock Chapter 317 is titled, “Please Take Care of This Point”
This chapter has 19 pages.
Editor’s note: “Japan dominates the first half! A whirlpool of frenzy envelops the battlefield!”
The announcer declares the start of the last 10 minutes of the match and Blue Lock’s 2-point lead.
Kuso admits that Blue Lock is the strongest team they faced so far, with the three centers: Yoichi Isagi, Tabito Karasu and Aiku Oliver, being the source of their strength due to their analysis and control of the field.
Yet Isagi is the clear leader and so Kuso assigns him as Nigeria’s target to secure the win.
We see another flashback of Onazi’s childhood, with Bello being amazed by Onazi’s first time playing soccer.
Thanks to Onazi’s unique skills, Bello is confident the kids will even reach the World Cup, turn their lives around as orphans and become rich.
However, Onazi says that it is not easy to go pro, with Kuso pointing out that Onazi’s skills make it feel right to dream big.
This is where we see the origin of Onazi’s motto: “I am here”
Not “My Hero Academia” but because he is called their Light.
In the present, Onazi takes the goal shot.
Onazi’s weapon is his overwhelming stamina caused by his substandard cardiovascular efficiency, his gifted bounce and flexibility for aerial plays that make it hard for even the best goalkeepers to reach the goal.
Onazi’s shooting range is more than twice that of a normal person.
As Onazi shoots, Gagamaru recalls how he was trained by Ego, by catching baseballs, which are smaller than soccer balls to improve his reaction time and bodily coordination, resulting in him becoming 1.5 times faster.
By letting his body take the wheel instead of his mind, he can respond to any ball faster
In the present, Kuso cheers on as Onazi takes the shot.
Gagamaru sees the ball’s trajectory rise while it is escaping and his own body cannot seem to catch up to it.
However, the chapter ends with Gagamaru blocking Onazi’s shot by lifting up his right hand just a bit to reach it and declaring himself Japan’s guardian god, showing off why he is the best goalkeeper around.
The first half ends.
Blue Lock Chapter 318 will be released on September 17, 2025.
