Blue Lock Chapter 246: Julian Loki's Manipulations Target Rin and Shido, Pitting them Against Isagi and Kaiser

Blue Lock chapter 246 revealed the new Auction rankings for the Blue Lock players, along with Julian Loki's plans for PXG in their upcoming match against Bastard Munchen. The German team was in for a surprise as they were expecting to face either Rin or Shido, but things took a different turn. In the previous chapter, Agi and Barou criticized Reo and Nagi for their performances, while Ryusei Shido secured a victory for Paris X Gen with a spectacular second goal. This set the stage for the deciding match between Bastard Munchen and Paris X Gen in the Neo Egoist League.

Chapter 246, titled "Irregularity and Abnormality," begins with Kiyora Jin and Gurimu Igarashi having a secret training session overseen by Master Striker Noel Noa. However, the manga does not reveal the specific details of what they are trying to polish up.

Following that, the manga shifted its focus to the Germany Stratum Monitor Room where the Blue Lock players were prepared to look at the new auction rankings. While there were some changes here and there, the notable changes in rank 5 and above were Nagi and Reo's drop and Sendo's rise.

Ryusei Shido has moved up to the fourth spot with a 100 million yen, while Shoei Barou and Yoichi Isagi are tied for second place with 150 million yen. Rin Itoshi's auction value has increased to 198 million yen. Noel Noa then entered the monitor room to begin planning for their final match against Paris X Gen.

In Blue Lock chapter 246, the focus shifts to PXG's changing room where Julian Loki assigns homework to each player and tries to stop Charles Chevalier from running away. Loki explains that he sees potential in Charles, who is just 15 years old, and wants to help him become a top player and leader for the France team in the Neo Egoist League.

Following this, Julian Loki revealed his strategy for PXG's upcoming match against Bastard Munchen. While PXG had been employing two different systems centered around Rin and Ryusei, Loki aimed to shake things up for the final match. Taking inspiration from Noa's ability to incorporate both Kaiser and Isagi into his system, Loki sought to implement a similar strategy that would allow him to utilize both Rin and Ryusei simultaneously.

With that, it was clear that Bastard Munchen vs Paris X Gen was set to see Isagi and Kaiser vs Rin and Shido.
