Episode 31: “Itoshi Rin” – Synopsis
The episode begins with Blue Lock’s team, led by Isagi, launching a fierce offensive. However, their efforts are quickly neutralized by the U-20 Japan team’s “Iron Wall Quartet”, a defensive line that effectively shuts down Blue Lock’s key players and tactics.

The U-20 team executes a lightning-fast counterattack, showcasing their unmatched defence-to-offense transition. Despite the valiant efforts of Blue Lock’s defenders and goalkeeper Gagamaru Gin to repel the attack, the ball ultimately ends up back at Sae’s feet, setting the stage for a nail-biting moment.
Will Blue Lock be able to turn the tables, or will U-20 Japan’s teamwork prove too much to handle? Watch “Blue Lock” episode 31 on November 16 to know.
