Captain Tsubasa or Keppeki Danshi Aoyama Kun is a sports manga with a football theme that stands apart from other football comics. Blue Lock tells the tale of a group of football players who have created the Blue Lock in the wake of Japan’s disappointing performance at FIFA 2018. Isagi Yoichi, a high school genius, is the manga’s protagonist. To add to the tension, Blue Lock has a dark dystopian theme running throughout. Its enormous appeal stems from the novelty of its premise. The long-awaited publication of chapter 170 is finally here!
Blue Lock 169th Chapter Summary
Chapter 169 reveals a surprising truth. According to Jinpachi Ego, the league they’ve been playing is really being filmed for an international reality show that will allow football fans all around the world to see the “behind-the-scenes” exploits of the future stars of the game. The clashes between them have also been documented, he says. This revelation has left Raichi and Igaguri obviously distraught and surprised. Bidding for the players begins in the chapter’s opening scene, with the firms offering high fees for those who performed well in the last battle.
Berserk Dortmund offers 17 million yen to Isagi, while Berserk Dortmund also makes offers of 24 million yen to Kunigami, 32 million yen to Bachira, and 50 million yen to Ness. Basterd Munchen auctions Kaiser for a stunning $300 million. Jinpachi goes on to describe the league’s primary goals. When it came time to sell themselves to potential buyers, it was imperative that the players be bold in stealing the attention. Consequently, winning isn’t all that crucial. To establish their value, players must do everything, according to Jinpachi, even if it means playing a position they aren’t used to.
This makes Raichi and Igaguri wish they had taken part in the game. The importance of establishing a good first impression and performing well is also addressed. It finishes with Jinpachi announcing the next match will take place 10 days later between Basterd Munchen and Manshine City.
