Blue Lock Chapter 331 is the real “show me” chapter for Japan. Chapter 330 did not ease anyone into the U-20 World Cup matchup. France scored almost instantly and forced Japan into panic defense before they could even settle into the game plan. Below is a recap of Chapter 330, the Blue Lock Chapter 331 release timeline, and the current spoiler status.
Blue Lock Chapter 330 Recap
Chapter 330 opens the Japan vs. France match with France flexing their chemistry right away. Hugo carries the ball through the middle and shrugs off Isagi and Rin’s pressure, which forces Japan to scramble and try to cover passing lanes on the fly.
Japan’s back line then commits to stopping Loki, treating him like the obvious finisher. Aiku, Aryu, and Niko step up to box him out, but Loki uses that attention as bait. He drags the defense off its shape and creates the opening for Charles to receive the ball with space.
Charles wastes no time. He unleashes a clean, powerful shot that beats Gagamaru and puts France up 1-0 almost immediately. The moment lands like a warning: France’s “Golden Generation” is faster, sharper, and completely comfortable punishing even tiny mistakes. Japan is left stunned, and the match instantly feels like an uphill fight that could force a major awakening arc for Isagi.
