Hiori Predicts Charles’ Contrarian Move

As such, Hiori tries to predict Charles’ move. He guesses that Charles will pass the ball to Shidou once he receives it. But Kunigami’s interference makes Hiori believe Charles might pass the ball to Itoshi Rin instead of Shidou. Moreover, considering that Charles is a contrarian, Hiori guesses that his move will be unpredictable.

Further along, Blue Lock chapter 256 spoilers, Karasu, setting a trap, passes the ball to Charles in the hope of a miracle pass, but to no avail since Kaiser and Ness block Charles’ way. Later, Itoshi arrives, but Charles, in an unexpected move, passes the ball through Kaiser and Ness to Shidou.

Blue Lock chapter 256: Does Charles manage to score a goal?

Charles’ strategy remains futile as Hiori correctly predicts his move and chimes in behind Kaiser and Ness to kick the ball away. Then, Raichi Jingo takes the ball even though Aoshi Tokimitsu challenges him and passes it to Hiori. Karasu, Nanase, and Zantetsu, the players from Paris X Gen, surround Hiori right when he claims the ball.

Hiori views the three Paris X Gen players as weaklings when he compares them to Charles. Therefore, the Bastard Munchen player does not consider being surrounded by the three of them a threat. It is at this moment that Hiori prepares to begin his top performance.
