My theory after 306: Japan will win u-20 world cup but Ego will lose.
Theory is in bold letters.
We know that Ego could choose only 23 players but in real life there's 26 players playing in u-20 world cup. Assuming that remaining 3 players are chosen by jfu, we know that sae itoshi is most likely one of them. Other two are mystery, but based on chapter 306 end and baratsuda insistence that Nagi should be part of the team, Nagi will be picked by him.
Here's things that we know from interviews with kaneshiro and nomura, egoist bibles, epi nagi, manga and light novels:
- Isagi will do some controversial things to the point that kaneshiro is not sure readers will like isagi at the end of the story. I think it was strongly hinted in his parents' speech in chapter 304 and frankly it's about time for isagi to have big lose because last time was in second selection. It will serve as final catalyst for isagi's last self-destruction. Popular theory in some parts of fandom is that he will push chigiri to the point that our princess will tear his acl. But I feel that more likely scenario is isagi's behavior will lead to them losing one of group matches;
- kunigami, sendou and shidou will have more to do in u-20 wc arc;
- sea and isagi will team up;
- chigiri has big chance to be injured;
- loki has personal problem with isagi but he said in epi nagi that nagi is the same as him and only thing stopping him is his passion so both nagi and isagi could have epic showdawn with loki;
- isagi called ego benefactor of his dream and we know that in shounen best mentors are either dead or evil;
- ego during bllk vs u-20 said that if blue lock lose he will disappear and blue lock boys will prevail. Yes it was before blue lock was popular but still it could be foreshadowing;
Here's known fact about u-20 wc in 2019 and changes in manga:
- Poland was host country but in manga baratsuda was able to change location to Japan (why it was needed kaneshiro why?);
- Japan was in the group with Ecuador(3rd), Italy(4th) and Mexico;
- Japan had 5 points: 1 win, 2 draws in group stage;
- Ukraine was the winner and Korea was second;
- Japan lost to south Korea in round of 16;
- Germany was not present in u-20 wc
As you can see Japan faced all but first place and each time the best they could do was to draw with them. I'm 99.9% sure kaneshiro will change this whole layout. He will most likely make South Korea and Ukraine weaker and less important ( sadly). And probably switch some countries so Spain and Germany could play (one of them will be Poland). But let's be real 90% of people who read bllk know next to nothing about professional football they would probably have problem to explain off-side. So kaneshiro has pretty much creative freedom and blue lockers don't have to worry about panelty shoot-outs or are they?
After this long introduction. My theory is that Ego, because his bias against Nagi, will not place him in the main squad but on the bench. Then, during group stage, isagi will cross the line and make some controversial plays and that will result in polarisation of public opinion about him and whole blue lock project. We can also toss chigiri injury into mix. At this point there could be some unexpected goal (maybe sendou or aiku so no orginal blue lockers). Basically they will advance but at what cost. Then during knockout stage (i prefer semi-finals) ego will be forced to substitute (be it because someone will be injured or recived yellow card or baratsuda making bet with him) in like 85 minute to nagi. Nagi will be able to tie and then his panelty shoot-out goal will allow Japan to advance to the final where they will face france. Nagi will be treated as new hero that save Japan and Baratsuda will make it know that he was the only one who fought for nagi and he will have proofs and that Ego was against Nagi from the start ( baratsuda will exaggerate af but at this point no one but blue lockers will know the truth). Then either Japan will win or lose. If they win opinion on ego is already tarnished to the point that he will be forced to disappear from public eye but still given respect and if they lose the blame will be placed mostly on him, because he allowed his personal vendetta against Nagi to influance his judgement. Basically, vtuber's graduation vs termination.
