Japan’s Camp and Isagi’s New Position
Back in Japan’s monitoring room, the players joke around and tease Isagi. They copy his serious expressions and exaggerated ego talk. Isagi has now become the standard everyone is measuring themselves against.
Raichi even says he wants that same presence. Everyone laughs, but Isagi has now become the center of Blue Lock. This is what being an elite egoist looks like. Everyone is chasing him now.

Isagi and Rin’s Confrontation
Later, Isagi runs into Rin Itoshi inside the restroom. Rin tells Isagi one thing, “Do not get satisfied”.
Rin explains that until he defeats his brother Sae, he needs Isagi to stay strong. He needs Isagi to stay in his way. In Rin’s own rough way, this is respect.
The Fear of Standing at the Top
After that moment, Isagi is left alone. He starts thinking about where he stands now. He is Blue Lock’s number one, he can compete on a world level. The team is literally built around him. Then a new thought hits him, being number one is scary.
Isagi realizes that if he fails, everything falls apart. If he makes a mistake, the team loses. The responsibility is not shared anymore. It is focused on him.
For the first time, Isagi feels the weight that players Kaiser, Loki, and Noel Noa may have carried for years.
Isagi’s Resolve Going Forward
Isagi looks at his reflection and makes a decision. He will not run from this pressure. He will not hide from being chased. If being number one means carrying fear, then he will face it head-on.
Blue Lock Chapter 329 ends by showing the announcement for the next match.
