① The Story So Far
The Blue Lock Project has officially entered its Third Phase: the “U-20 World Cup Arc”!!
The U-20 World Cup is a tournament exclusively for players “under the age of 20” from various countries. From Japan, the 23 Egoists who survived the Blue Lock Project’s Second Phase, the Neo Egoist League (NEL), are participating as the “Japan National Team”!!
Players of the same generation who fought together in the NEL are also participating in this tournament, meaning former comrades will now clash as enemies!?
★ And currently… Jinpachi Ego declared that he will “bench Rin Itoshi” in the next match!? However, Yoichi Isagi tries to fire him up once again, telling Rin to “Become the last piece.”
↑↑↑ Chapter 351 features the intense “Clash between Rin and Ego-san”!! If you’ve forgotten what happened, be sure to check it out to refresh your memory! (‘ω’)ノ

②【Chapter 352】Spoiler Analysis
From here, we will dive into the spoiler analysis of the latest chapter, Chapter 352: “Trash Puppet”!
Please note: This section contains major spoilers!!
▼ A Furious Hirotoshi Buratsuta
Following the defeat against France, Hirotoshi Buratsuta was absolutely furious with Jinpachi Ego. However, Jinpachi Ego seemed to have expected this and showed no signs of panic.
“If you don’t win, you’re banished from the Japanese football world.”
This once again made Jinpachi Ego’s precarious position crystal clear.

That contract is way too harsh!!! (; ･`д･´) But it really shows that Ego-san is risking his entire life for football…
▼ SIDE-B: The 1st Stage Qualifiers
The story shifts back to the perspective of SIDE-B.
The duo of Haneru Shindo and Ryosuke Kira, who cleared 1st Stage: “Birdcage”, were the first to arrive at the waiting area. They were soon joined by the pair of Seishiro Nagi and Shigeo Mizuki, who cleared it next. Finally, Hajime Nishioka and Ringo Hondemizu cleared the 1st Stage!
With this, all six players who cleared the 1st Stage have gathered, and they are now heading into 2nd Stage: “???”.

It looks like Ringo Hondemizu’s name is read as “Hondemizu Ringo” (‘ω’)ノ And as expected, Hajime Nishioka made it too!! He clearly has plenty of potential! Now, I wonder what kind of challenges await them in the 2nd Stage!?
▼ Unstoppable Doubts
In the Japan National Team (Blue Lock Eleven) training room, the players started discussing “the nature of Blue Lock” once again.
“A team where literally everyone is aiming to become the world’s best striker… if you think about it calmly, it makes no sense.”
“The approach was contradictory right from the start.”
“Jinpachi Ego is less of a ‘coach’ and more of ‘someone who teaches us crazy, insane stuff’.”
Although they had discussed this in the locker room after the France match, it seems they still aren’t fully convinced… And so, they try to return to their roots and re-examine their respective “egos.”

I think thinking about it calmly is exactly what they shouldn’t do… They are trying to become the “world’s best striker”—something you can’t achieve by doing ordinary things. If you take a step back and look at it rationally, you’ll naturally realize, “We are doing something insane” (◎_◎;). If you want to become something out of this world, you can’t get there with a normal mindset. Are they all really going back to being “normal” now of all times!?

▼ A Mysterious Visitor
“Could you do me a favor and lose the next match?”
Suddenly, a mysterious foreign player appeared in the training room exclusive to the Japan National Team (Blue Lock Eleven)!?
Source: 【Blue Lock】Chapter 352 (Story by Muneyuki Kaneshiro, Art by Yusuke Nomura / Kodansha) — Cited for review purposes.
WHO IS THIS?! What on earth is he talking about!!?? There are way too many things to worry about here!!! (; ･`д･´)
▼ England National Team: “Teddy Knight”
“My name is Teddy Knight, a ‘trash and lame’ player from England.”
Apparently, this mysterious player belongs to England, Japan’s next opponent. He came to this training room because a player named “Fox” told him to. He refers to himself as a “trash and lame player,” but is he really that weak?
Source: 【Blue Lock】Chapter 352 (Story by Muneyuki Kaneshiro, Art by Yusuke Nomura / Kodansha) — Cited for review purposes.
He feels somewhat like a robot (◎_◎;). He looks completely expressionless, and the way he talks makes it sound like he’s just doing exactly what he was told… I get the vibe that he’s a “completely unpredictable player.”
▼ Switch On
“That’s an impossible request.”
When Oliver Aiku rejects Teddy Knight’s request, Teddy Knight thinks for a moment and begins to move.
“Oh, right. I just remembered. I should just kill you all.”
Saying that, he blasts the ball directly at Meguru Bachira!!
“If I engrave the fact that ‘you can’t beat me’ into your minds, you’ll give up and lose, right?”
Something inside Teddy Knight has just been activated.

What is wrong with this guy!!?? This makes absolutely no sense!? It’s as if a pre-set command like “in this situation, do this” was programmed directly into his brain (; ･`д･´). Is he really a robot after all!?

▼ One of the “New Generation World 11”
“Slaughter.”
Saying this word, he effortlessly blows past the three defenders—Oliver Aiku, Jyubei Aryu, and Ikki Niko—with his dribbling! His technique and speed are overwhelming, making him a true “master dribbler.”
“I don’t have an ego.” “I am a puppet. A ‘trash puppet’ after all.”
Source: 【Blue Lock】Chapter 352 (Story by Muneyuki Kaneshiro, Art by Yusuke Nomura / Kodansha) — Cited for review purposes.
Wait… HE’S ONE OF THE NEW GENERATION WORLD 11 (NG11)!!??? He certainly emitted an bizarre aura, but I never imagined he was THAT incredible!!?? Plus, his position is a winger (WG)! So he really is a dribbler! I have a strong feeling this is going to spark a fated rivalry with Meguru Bachira ( ﾟДﾟ)
Teddy Knight: Mysteries, Weapons, First Appearance & More Thoroughly Explained!↓↓↓
This chapter was all about the “Appearance of a New ‘New Generation World 11’ (NG11) Member!!”
To sum it all up, here are the key takeaways ↓↓↓
Jinpachi Ego vs Hirotoshi Buratsuta Again
The Unstable “Ego”
A New “New Generation World 11” Member
▼ Jinpachi Ego vs Hirotoshi Buratsuta Again
The President of the Japan Football Union, Hirotoshi Buratsuta, was absolutely furious about Japan’s defeat in the France match.
The main reasons for his anger are:
If they get eliminated in the group stage, the whole point of SIDE-B becomes completely meaningless.
The economic impact (revenue) will drop.
In short, it’s all about “money” as usual ( 一一). It’s true that if they can’t break through the group stage, Sae Itoshi and the survivors from SIDE-B won’t be able to join the main squad… However, according to Ego-san, this outcome was “within expectations.” It seems that as long as they win the entire tournament in the end, the process doesn’t matter to him at all! Let’s keep our expectations high!
▼ The Unstable “Ego”
In the locker room after the France match, Ego-san gave a detailed explanation regarding “Ego,” but some players still don’t seem fully convinced… They are trying to go back to their roots and rethink things, but in my opinion, this will almost certainly have the opposite effect.
Why? Because “Blue Lock is doing something that makes absolutely no sense if you think about it rationally.”
These players have grown this far by being stimulated by things that are far from ordinary. If they take a step back and look at the current situation from a bird’s-eye view, they will realize this abnormality and stop moving forward. And as a result, I predict they will turn back toward a “normal path” and end up becoming ordinary football players…
In my view, almost all the players participating in this discussion belong to the “talented side (prodigies)” rather than pure natural geniuses. For better or worse, talented people are too capable of “seeing their surroundings and analyzing the reality.” That’s exactly why they might stop growing… What a waste.
▼ A New “New Generation World 11”
The 7th member of the “New Generation World 11,”Teddy Knight, has officially made his first appearance!! He is participating in this U-20 World Cup as part of the England National Team. His position is a winger (WG), and he is highly likely to be a master dribbler! With his words and actions making him seem completely emotionless, could his inside be entirely “empty (a puppet)”? I can’t wait to see the match against the England National Team!
Just when the U-20 World Cup arc was starting to feel a bit stagnant, introducing a new “New Generation World 11” member is definitely going to spice things up again!
As expected, every single country is a formidable enemy (; ･`д･´)
