Meanwhile, the next chapter carries the reported teaser “The Seventh Knight.” That wording could introduce another important England player or reveal the next part of coach Fox’s plan.

What Happened in Blue Lock Chapter 355?
Chapter 355 officially began Japan’s Group A match against England.
Before kickoff, Teddy Knight repeated that he views himself as a “trash doll.” Agi also recognized Teddy, which suggests the two players share some history outside the current tournament.
On the sidelines, England coach Fox mocked Ego Jinpachi. Ego responded by promising to make him despair through the result.
Once the match began, Karasu took control of Japan’s offense. Ego had instructed him to support Shidou, disrupt England’s structure, and use his freedom to react to openings.
However, England quickly interrupted that plan.
Nyan intercepted the ball with surprising speed and started a counterattack. Japan recovered soon afterward, allowing Karasu to call for Zantetsu and move possession back toward England’s goal.
Eventually, the ball reached Shidou inside the penalty area. He launched an acrobatic Skyscraper Drop, but Teddy anticipated the shot and blocked it.
While watching from the bench, Isagi recognized the real problem.
England does not rely on one dominant defender. Instead, every player supports the same synchronized structure, creating a moving defensive wall across the pitch.
As a result, the chapter introduced England as the Soldier Football Team. Fox provides the original command, while Teddy and the other players turn that single instruction into countless coordinated actions.
Read our Blue Lock Chapter 355 spoilers and recap for the complete summary.
Who Could Be the Seventh Knight?
The teaser “The Seventh Knight” may refer to another player within England’s system.
So far, Teddy represents the clearest example of Fox’s philosophy. Still, Chapter 355 only showed part of England’s lineup in action.
Because England stopped Japan’s opening attack, Chapter 356 could shift toward its counterattack. In that case, the seventh knight may lead the team’s offensive system.
Another possibility is that the title refers to someone who operates differently from the rest of the squad.
England’s current strength comes from obedience and coordination. However, a player with more freedom or individual creativity could give Fox another option once Japan adjusts to the defensive wall.
Agi’s connection to Teddy may also matter. Their brief exchange suggests Teddy’s history extends beyond England and Fox’s current tactics.
For now, these possibilities remain predictions. The teaser does not confirm a new player’s identity.
How Can Japan Break England’s Defense?
Japan needs to disrupt the links between England’s players.
Shidou created a strong shooting opportunity, but Teddy read the final attack. Therefore, repeating the same direct approach will allow England to maintain its shape.
Instead, Karasu and Hiori could force defenders to move out of position through quick passes and off-ball movement. Zantetsu’s speed may also help Japan attack open space before England rebuilds its wall.
Isagi remains another option.
Since he recognized the structure from the bench, he now has time to search for its weakness. Ego may introduce him once Japan needs someone who can reorganize the attack around changing space.
Rin could also enter later. His controlled style would create a different challenge than Shidou’s explosive movement.
Even so, Japan may need more than one substitution. England’s system covers the entire field, so breaking it will likely require coordinated movement rather than one player winning an isolated matchup.
Will England Counterattack in Chapter 356?
England should have an opportunity to move forward after stopping Shidou.
Chapter 355 focused mainly on the team’s defensive structure. Consequently, the next chapter may show how Fox turns that same coordination into an attack.
Nyan already displayed the speed needed to steal possession and begin a counter. Other England players may now move into position around him.
Teddy could also help launch attacks from the back. His block stopped Japan’s momentum, and a quick pass afterward could catch Karasu and Hiori before they recover.
However, England’s exact attacking philosophy remains unclear. The seventh knight may finally reveal how its players create goals instead of simply preventing them.
