Blue Lock Chapter 279: Release Date and Where to Read
Blue Lock Chapter 279 is set to release on Wednesday, October 16, 2024 at 12am JST. In most countries, this means that the chapter will be available one day earlier, on Tuesday, October 15, 2024, with the release time being adjusted according to different time zones.
Blue Lock Chapter 279 can be accessed through Kodansha’s K Manga service, which is currently limited to users in the United States. While 53 chapters are available for free, access to recent chapters requires users to purchase points.
Expected Plot in Blue Lock Chapter 279
Blue Lock Chapter 279 will likely focus on Michael Kaiser’s attempt to score from the awarded free kick using his signature Kaiser Impact Point Magnus. With the ball being located only 29 feet from the goal, this distance falls within Kaiser’s optimal shooting range.
Given the presence of master strikers like Julian Loki and Noel Noah, the dynamics of the match could change rapidly, with Blue Lock Chapter 279 emphasizing Kaiser’s role in breaking the defense of Paris X General.
Since the match has progressed little since the top strikers took the field, there is a strong possibility that the competition will become intense, with both teams pushing their limits.
Blue Lock Chapter 278 Recap
Igarashi Gurimu’s quick thinking fouls Rin Itoshi in Blue Lock Chapter 278, earning the praise of his teammates Raichi Jingo and Gagamaru Jin. Igarashi revealed that Noel Noah specifically advised him to use his unorthodox techniques to provoke opponents like Rin into foul play.
Noah’s recognition of Igarashi’s potential has put new pressure on Rin, who is now focused on overcoming the challenge posed by the right-back. As the game resumes, Igarashi quickly approaches Noah, who leads Bastard Munchen’s attack.
Despite being challenged by Shidou and Charles Chevalier, Noah sidestepped them and executed a one-two play with Michael Kaiser. Isagi aims to join the attack in Blue Lock Chapter 278, but Noa uses him as a decoy, and chooses to go to Kaiser instead.
Noah then reveals his goal: to promote a worthy opponent in Caesar. Next, Aoshi Tokimitsu fouls Noah, resulting in a yellow card. Noah sets up a free-kick opportunity for Kaisar, leaving Isagi frustrated from making a crucial move for the others.
