Recap of Blue Lock chapter 241
Regrettably, the same service has not yet been extended to other countries. As a result, fans may have to consider buying either a physical or digital copy of the Weekly Shōnen Magazine.

In chapter 241 of Blue Lock, titled Pickled Radish and Fermented Soybeans, it was revealed that Barcha was playing Paris X Gen, while Manshine City was playing Ubers. Meanwhile, the Bastard Munchen players were taking time to rest and recover.
Hiori admitted that he opposed the Blue Lock mentality, desiring to be a creative player who can connect with teammates who understand his passes. He then disclosed that fans of Bastard Munchen wanted Isagi and Kaiser to team up, which irked Isagi.
Later, Igaguri sought advice from Isagi, who may not have been able to provide specific training advice but succeeded in motivating him. Meanwhile, Michael Kaiser was determined to not leave Blue Lock without defeating Yoichi Isagi, and thus trained relentlessly.
What to expect from Blue Lock chapter 242?

Blue Lock chapter 242, titled "The Blue Rose and the Magician: Part 1," is expected to uncover the backstory of Michael Kaiser and Alexis Ness. The final illustration in the last chapter suggests that the flashback will likely focus on their early days at Bastard Munchen. However, fans will need to wait for the details. It appears that Alexis Ness struggled with his game in the past, and Michael Kaiser may have played a crucial role in helping him believe that anything was achievable.
Editor's P/S
As a Gen Z netizen, I am excited about the upcoming release of Blue Lock Chapter 242. The series has been on a roll lately, and I can't wait to see what happens next. I'm especially interested in seeing how the relationship between Isagi and Kaiser develops. These two characters have a lot of potential, and I think they could be a great team if they can learn to work together.
I'm also curious to see how the Blue Lock team fares against Bastard Munchen. Bastard Munchen is a strong team, and it will be a challenge for Blue Lock to beat them. However, I think Blue Lock has the potential to win if they can play their cards right. I'm excited to see how the match plays out.
