The hype surrounding the Blue Lock vs. France match has officially flipped into chaos. With Chapter 334 of Blue Lock, fan excitement has morphed into full-blown Isagi slander. What was supposed to be a defining moment for the egoist striker instead turned into a harsh reality check.

Social media didn’t hold back. Words like “fraud watch,” “mid striker,” and “generational damage” flooded timelines as Isagi Yoichi struggled against France’s ironclad system. This chapter didn’t just show a missed chance—it exposed a philosophical clash at the heart of Blue Lock itself.
Let’s break down the four biggest moments that shook the fandom.
1. Hiori Yo’s Long-Awaited Redemption Moment
After fading into the background for several chapters, Hiori Yo came back with authority. Tasked with handling the world’s fastest striker, Julian Loki, Hiori pulled off a slick, rhythm-based feint that left Loki chasing shadows.

It wasn’t just technical brilliance—it was confidence. Hiori slicing through France’s defense reminded fans that Blue Lock’s supporting cast still matters. His cold delivery of “Too late” wasn’t trash talk—it was a statement.
2. How France Completely Shut Down Isagi
This chapter’s most painful moment? Watching Isagi get systematically dismantled.
France’s defensive duo, led by the unpredictable Charles and the aggressive Hugo, targeted Isagi’s biggest strength: his right side. By sealing off his shooting lanes and disrupting his rhythm, they neutralized both his Two-Gun Volley and Right-Foot Direct Shot.

Forced into a split-second decision, Isagi ignored a perfect option—Ittoshi Ren—and took the bait. Shooting with his weaker left foot (confirmed to be only 40% effective by Aiku), Isagi sent a low-threat shot straight into the keeper’s hands.
It wasn’t bad luck. It was tactical domination.
3. Hugo’s Psychological War: “Accept Being Number Two”
Hugo didn’t just beat Isagi physically—he broke him mentally.
Throughout the chapter, Hugo repeatedly labeled Isagi as “average,” pushing the idea that his true role isn’t as a star striker but as a secondary piece. His philosophy directly opposes Blue Lock’s egoism, arguing that rigid systems—not individual brilliance—win on the world stage.

That constant verbal pressure worked. Isagi’s decision-making faltered, and emotion replaced calculation.
“Know your place and accept your destiny.”
That line hit harder than any tackle.
4. Karasu’s Awakening Changes Everything
Just when the slander peaked, the chapter dropped its final bomb.
Karasu entered the match with flow state eyes activated. Calm, sharp, and analytical, Karasu’s arrival hints at a major tactical shift.

Interestingly, Karasu has always acknowledged his own limitations—something Hugo keeps demanding from Isagi. That contrast sets up a fascinating possibility: Karasu might succeed where Isagi is failing, not by rejecting his role, but by mastering it.
Chapter 335’s title, “Transformation,” suddenly feels ominous.
Final Verdict: Benched or Reborn?
With fans openly calling Isagi “useless,” speculation is exploding. Could Jinpachi Ego bench him for wildcards like Shido or Barou?

Isagi now stands at a crossroads. Either evolve beyond his reliance on his right side—or fade into the background as just another talented support player.
One thing’s certain: the Isagi slander isn’t stopping anytime soon.
