The last Blue Lock chapter, titled Innocent, showed Nagi admitting he had no regrets. After defeating Isagi, he lost his ambition and prioritized staying with Reo. As his passion was insufficient for Blue Lock, he was eliminated.

Nagi apologized for not finding a new goal, passing instead of shooting, and relying on Reo. However, Reo assured him he did nothing wrong, acknowledging that Nagi had pursued Reo’s dream despite not liking soccer. Before leaving, Nagi encouraged Reo to aim for the top, while Isagi asked Nagi not to quit.

Blue Lock Chapter 301 will likely depict the Neo Egoist League's foreign players departing from Blue Lock's facility. With the U-20 World Cup drawing near, all players must return to their respective international teams for preparation.

Another interaction between Isagi and Kaiser could occur during this transition, hinting at their ongoing rivalry. Meanwhile, Ego Jinpachi may outline his strategies for Japan's team, beginning intensive training sessions and revealing tactical plans as they prepare to compete in the fast-approaching world tournament.
