Blind Spot (死 (し) 角 (かく) , Shikaku^?) is the 53rd chapter of Blue Lock manga series.

Summary

Isagi realizes he lacks a strong 1-on-1 weapon and must evolve to avoid being a mediocre player. He uses teamwork with Nagi to get past Naruhaya, leading to a goal and tying the game 3-3. Later, Naruhaya steals the ball and sets up Baro, who scores to make it 4-3. Isagi figures out that Naruhaya used his blind spot and begins to understand the value of off-the-ball movement in 1v1s. Using this new insight, he sets up Nagi again to tie the game 4-4. While Nagi says the next goal will decide everything, Isagi stays focused on reconstructing his playing style to win.
