Fans can anticipate the next Weekly Shonen Magazine to be available on Friday, January 5, 2024, revealing spoilers and raw scans for the upcoming chapter. For those manga fans who can't wait, we've outlined potential developments for chapter 246.
In the previous chapter, Nagi failed to score the equalizing goal for Manshine City. The Ubers ultimately won the match after Sendoh Shuto scored the third goal from a rebound. Meanwhile, Shido Ryusei secured a win for Paris X Gen with an acrobatic header. It was determined that the winner of the France vs. Germany match would claim victory in the Neo Egoist League.

What to expect from Blue Lock chapter 246?

Blue Lock chapter 246, titled Anomaly and Abnormal, is likely to center around a duo, potentially focusing on Paris X Gen. This could mean that Rin Itoshi and Ryusei Shido will take the spotlight. Despite their mutual dislike for each other, both characters have joined forces for the Neo Egoist League, under the direction of Master Striker Julian Loki. The upcoming chapter may showcase the intense rivalry and competition between the two strikers as they work to overcome their differences.
Blue Lock chapter 246 may focus on Nagi and Reo

In the previous chapter, Agi advised Reo Mikage to end his partnership with Seishiro Nagi in order to showcase his talents in Manshine City's final match against Barcha. Although Reo initially rejected the idea, his concerned expression in the manga panel suggests that he may be considering the possibility of ending his partnership with Nagi for the upcoming match.
Meanwhile, Shoei Barou's criticism of Seishiro Nagi's weak ego may have affected him, as he no longer has a competitive goal to strive for. This may have led Nagi to lose his motivation to fight with full strength. As a result, Nagi may need to come up with a new goal for his upcoming match against Barcha.
Blue Lock chapter 246 may focus on Charles Chevalier instead

The manga series has already introduced fans to Charles Chevalier, the midfielder for Paris X Gen. The upcoming chapter is expected to reveal more about him, possibly focusing on the two strikers Rin Itoshi and Ryusei Shido, as described by Charles as Anomaly and Abnormal. Fans may also get to see the France team's discussion and the dynamic between Julian Loki and his players, providing insight into the true nature of the young French striker.
Editor's P/S
As a Gen Z fan of Blue Lock, I am eagerly anticipating the release of Chapter 246. The previous chapter left us with some intriguing developments, particularly the intense rivalry between Rin Itoshi and Shido Ryusei. Despite their mutual dislike, they have joined forces for the Neo Egoist League, and I can't wait to see how their dynamic unfolds in the upcoming chapter. Will they be able to overcome their differences and work together effectively, or will their rivalry hinder their team's success?
Another aspect that has me excited is the potential focus on Seishiro Nagi and his partnership with Reo Mikage. Nagi's failure to score the equalizing goal in the previous chapter and Shoei Barou's criticism of his weak ego have left him in a state of uncertainty. I am curious to see how Nagi will respond to these challenges and whether he will be able to find a new goal to motivate him. Additionally, the possibility of Reo ending his partnership with Nagi adds another layer of intrigue to the upcoming match against Barcha.
