BLUE LOCK CHAPTER 24: GOAL FORMULA

Chapter 24 begins with Team Z trying to lighten the atmosphere after their tough match, but their joking only frustrates Raichi, who reminds everyone that their final game is approaching. The mood shifts when Kuon, still ostracized for betraying the team, becomes the center of attention. Several players confront him in anger, ready to punish him for nearly costing them their previous matches. Isagi steps in and argues that despite everything, they cannot beat the powerful Team V without all eleven players. His plea exposes the desperation and thin margin Team Z is operating under, pushing the team to rethink whether punishing Kuon is worth the risk.

The conflict deepens when Kuon finally breaks down and reveals the truth behind his selfish choices. He admits that he has always given everything to soccer, only to be mocked or ignored by teammates who lacked ambition. Blue Lock, he believed, was his only chance to rise on his own. His confession exposes a painful mixture of pride, bitterness, and fear, revealing a character who is not simply treacherous but deeply insecure. This emotional outburst makes the team pause, yet Kuon remains committed to doing nothing in the final match for his own advancement.

Ego interrupts through the monitors and announces the official Blue Lock rankings for the first selection. Kuon’s staged goals place him at the top, which outrages the others but falls clearly within the rules. Ego uses this moment to deliver a crucial lesson: a striker must be able to recreate goals consistently. He explains the concept of a “goal formula,” a personal, repeatable pattern that allows a striker to score under any conditions. This becomes the chapter’s central theme, pushing Isagi to confront the reality that his own goals have come from instinct and luck rather than reproducible skill.

As Ego breaks down the components needed to build such a formula, Isagi realizes he lacks a reliable weapon beyond spatial awareness. Watching his teammates quietly doubt their chances against Team V further weighs on him. The pressure builds until he leaves the room, determined to evolve before the final match. The chapter closes with Isagi seeking out Barou at Team X’s training field, hoping that confronting a top scorer will help him uncover the weapon he desperately needs. The moment sets up a powerful turning point, signaling that Isagi has entered a new phase of self discovery just before the decisive game.
