BAROU’S GOAL! Karasu’s Crown! Blue Lock Chapter 342 Spoilers!

In the previous Blue Lock chapter, Karasu becomes the focus of the second half as he defies Blue Lock and Egoism for the sake of Blue Lock and his Ego.

Blue Lock Chapter 342 is titled, “Seizing the Crown”

This chapter has 20 pages.

Editor’s note: ‘The unpredictable link from Karasu to Shidou ! The pent-up demon bares its fangs!!’

The chapter begins strong as Shidou’s demon aura emanates, with Isagi surprised that Karasu would use Shidou as his main weapon.

Charles gets excited to be reunited with his teammate from the Neo Egoist League.

Karasu remarks that a fast break is the way before Hugo comes, so he intends to work with Shidou’s flow rather than oppose him since his presence influences everyone around him and there is no real way to communicate with him on the field.

A loose cannon.

Isagi understands that Karasu is his opposite and that is why Karasu is able to tame Shidou.

While Isagi always intends to devour his prey and constantly adapts to them, Karasu maintains a fair distance, being easy-going and flexible and he can choose to either get closer to move far away.

Karasu is a balanced, independent player.

This is why he is not swayed by Shidou’s influence because Karasu is cold and calculated, not being emotionally invested in anyone, maybe other than Isagi.

As Gabin sees Shidou run for his blind spot, Karasu declares Shidou as his weapon to usurp Isagi.

Suddenly, Loki stops Shidou, stating that he already knew what Shidou was about to do, given he was Shidou’s master in Paris X-Gen in the Neo-Egoist League.

Still getting excited, Shidou kicks the ball up and Barou steals the ball, intending to be the new king of Blue Lock instead of Isagi.

A lightning-fast counter from an interception of Shido’s pass.

Barou scores the goal, the first in the second half and bringing everything back to a tie.

Blue Lock 2-2 France

Shidou calls Barou a scavenger but Barou challenges the explosive guy to try and devour him.

Isagi is shocked that the Double Jokers worked well for Karasu, implementing one of the hardest possible formations and making it work.

Isagi is now being overshadowed as Barou’s goal has essentially crowned Karasu as the new King of Blue Lock.

Meanwhile the coach Rodin calls Loki and Hugo and asks them if they can win the World Cup if they lose here.

Hugo says that Loki does not finish his goals while Loki says that Hugo’s passes are bad.

Rodin tells them to change formation and to be more aggressive.

As the second half continues, Hugo remarks that meeting Loki is his destiny.

We are about to get a flashback for these two.

Editor’s note: “Two people who were meant to be drawn together. This encounter was inevitable, and everything follows the path of their compatibility.”

Blue Lock Chapter 343 is titled, “Vivien Hugo”
