Is Rin Next to Score? Blue Lock Chapter 318 Spoilers!

In the previous Blue Lock chapter, Gagamaru prevents Nigeria from scoring a single goal.

Blue Lock Chapter 318 is titled, “I Want to Win.”

Editor’s note: “Nigeria is crushed by Gagamaru’s Divine Defense, Japan heads to halftime with the lead!!”

The chapter begins with the announcers declaring that Nigeria is utterly crushed in offense and defense in the first half.

Blue Lock still maintains its 2-0 dominance.

In their locker room, while most Blue Lock players praise Gagamaru’s defense, Oliver compliments Aryu and Niko but tells them that they pushed it too far and that they need to pay attention during the second half.

Both men refuse to hold back either way.

Karasu wishes Chigiri and Hiori scored more goals as they were focused too much on crosses to do so but Hiori fires back, saying Karasu should have scored some himself.

Anri looks at how prideful the players are and worries about the lack of a second half strategy.

Yet she is impressed by how fast they have grown.

Isagi expresses how repeating the same old play from the first half will not make them grow as players, so they should try something new for the second half.

Isagi suggests playing a False 9, pushing in with the second and third lines yet they will still focus on scoring more as well.

Niko worries that trying out new things means the defense will have to adjust a lot.

Rin is not content with his performance since he has not even scored a single goal.

Meanwhile, back in the Nigeria team, everyone is rattled by their inability to beat Blue Lock.

We meet Nigeria U-20 Head Coach Ganbali, who is impressed by both Blue Lock and Isagi.

While it seems that Onazi is demotivated, when he removes his towel, he actually looks fired up by how much of a beast Blue Lock is.

Onazi asks why Japan is so strong, with Oboabona saying that all 11 Blue Lock players are trying to score for themselves.

We cut back to Blue Lock, where Ego asks why do people say “I want to win?”

Bachira says because winning feels good, which leads to Ego asking why winning feel good.

Isagi answers, saying that it confirms one’s superiority over others.

Ego confirms this, noting that such a drive is within our genes as showing superiority ensures survival for themselves and to leave descendants.

Blue Lock exists to craft the strongest.

Back to Onazi, he suggests that they all play like Blue Lock but his teammates feel like they cannot score as well as Onazi but the coach approves of this new tactic.

Ego continues his lecture, saying that if humans were guided only by the drive to win, wars would never end.

So humans created laws to ensure people were treated fairly.

A world where humans lose the desire to win is an apathetic world called “peace”.

So Blue Lock is a laboratory designed to wipe away those too comfortable with peace, like Seishiro Nagi.

So Nagi is designed as the ultimate villain of Blue Lock and its ideology.

So Ego gives a new formula and asks what makes football so captivating and we enter the second half.

Editor’s note: “The origin of the frenzy in Ego’s words is…!!”

Blue Lock Chapter 319 is titled, “The Frenzy Formula” and will be released on September 24, 2025.
