At 12 a.m. JST on Wednesday, September 3, 2025, Blue Lock chapter 316 will be made available. The next chapter of the manga will be published next week, given its weekly release schedule. Kodansha’s manga reader service, K Manga, offers the Blue Lock manga for reading.
The specific training of Meguru Bachira, Aryu Jyubei, and Ikki Niko was disclosed in the preceding chapter 315 of the manga. Ikki Niko quickly stole the ball from Kuso and passed it to Reo Mikage in the manga. Reo imitated Bachira and formed a Double-Bachira formation with him as soon as he had the ball.

Blue Lock chapter 316 : Where to read?
Blue Lock chapter 316 will be available to read on Kodansha’s manga reader service, K Manga. The manga reader platform is now available in 48 countries, whereas it was previously only available in a select handful.

What happened in Blue Lock chapter 315

Chapter 315 of Blue Lock described Meguru Bachira’s unique training. In essence, Ego Jinpachi wanted Bachira to instruct others so that he could better understand and articulate his feelings. Bachira then decided to make dribbling his ego his goal.
The manga soon disclosed the unique training of Ikki Niko and Aryu Jyubei. Ikki Niko used weightlifting to gain strength, and Aryu Jyubei studied the Judo concept of “spacing.” Then, in the manga, Niko passed the ball to Reo after stealing it from Kuso. He imitated Bachira and formed a Double-Bachira formation with him as soon as Reo got it.
Blue Lock chapter 316: What to expect?

Meguru Bachira and Reo Mikage will probably be the main subjects of Blue Lock chapter 316. Reo’s imitation of Bachira is intriguing, but what they plan to do with their “Double-Bachira” formation will be even more intriguing.
The two players will almost certainly use their excellent dribbling abilities to push through Nigeria’s midfield under the current conditions. It remains to be known, though, how they relate.
Furthermore, Onazi might advocate for Nigeria in the manga. The Nigerian star player may manage to recover control by outplaying Reo or Bachira, even though Isagi intended to prevent him from coming close to the ball.
