Blue Lock Chapter 245: Barou Dominates as Ubers Devastate Manshine City
Blue Lock chapter 245: Seishiro Nagi's epic comeback shakes the Neo Egoist League, intensifying the BM vs PXG showdown for the ultimate throne
In Blue Lock chapter 245, fans were thrilled to see the return of Seishiro Nagi. Despite high hopes for his success against the Ubers, Nagi and Manshine City suffered a defeat with a margin of two goals. Barou and the Ubers proved to be a formidable force against Nagi.
The previous chapter also shed light on Paris X Gen's tactics, showing a double standard in their approach. With star strikers Rin Itoshi and Shido Ryusei, PXG developed two different strategies based on each player. However, it was the team's midfielder, Charles Chevalier, who played a vital role in both strategies.

Chapter 245 of Blue Lock, entitled You Need To Die At Once, kicks off with the intense match between Ubers and Manshine City. After winning possession for Manshine City, Chris directs Agi to pass the ball to Nagi. Just as Nagi takes control of the ball, Ubers quickly adjust their defensive tactics, leading to Oliver Aiku successfully blocking Nagi's shot. This turn of events prompts Ubers to launch a counterattack, with Barou leading the charge.
Next, Barou Shoei evaded the Manshine City defense with skillful dribbling. Despite Reo's attempt to halt his progress, the Ubers striker executed a precise one-two play with Ikki Niko to bypass the defender and take a shot at the goal. However, Chigiri Hyouma thwarted the attempt with his impressive reach, only for the ball to rebound in front of Sendou Shuto, who capitalized on the opportunity and secured the winning goal for Ubers with a powerful volley.

After the match ended, Agi suggested to Reo that he should end his partnership with Nagi in order to demonstrate his own skills in the next game against Barcha. However, Reo showed little interest in the idea.
Meanwhile, Seishiro Nagi was impressed by Barou's intensity and asked him about his goals. Barou revealed his ambition to become the world's best player and establish his own era, defeating anyone who dared to challenge him for his throne.
However, Barou didn't stop there. He criticized Nagi for his fragile ego, sensing that Nagi had lost his competitive edge and was only pretending to be in the fight. Nagi was no longer making any impact in matches and had essentially become weak. As a result, Barou gave Nagi a much-needed reality check, urging him to do some serious soul-searching, as his fragile ego wouldn't stand a chance on the world stage.

Following that, Blue Lock chapter 245 turned its attention to the conclusion of the Paris X Gen versus Barcha match. Shido Ryusei secured a spectacular header, leading PXG to a 3-2 victory. Despite Barcha Master Striker Lavinho's efforts to assist Bachira and Otoya in scoring two goals, Ryusei's goal rendered their hard work useless.
With PXG's third consecutive win, it became clear that the champions of the Neo Egoist League would be determined by the outcome of the next match between Paris X Gen and Bastard Munchen. This news left Yoichi Isagi thrilled.
