What happened in chapter 359?
Chapter 359, titled "Got It?", picks up right after Yukimiya's equalizer, scored in chapter 358 through Karasu's "Cerberus system" that chained Shidou, Zantetsu and Yukimiya into a single attack.
England's coach Fox answers with a punishment: he pulls Agi, guilty of playing on his own ego, and brings on Lockhart, the "Iron Soldier" from Berserk Dortmund, a player who keeps the ball through raw physical strength.
Fox lays out his philosophy: he only wants obedient soldiers, and he cites France's defeat as proof that a team letting its players improvise ends up losing. Behind that speech sit sixty years without a World Cup for England.
Isagi refuses to be a coach's pawn. He spots that England discards players who disobey, and decides to break their discipline by going straight at Teddy Knight, England's star striker left unmarked.
What is the Japan vs England score?
The score is 1-1 around the 20th minute of the first half. England opened the scoring, Japan equalized through Yukimiya. Earlier in the match Kiyora made the decisive steal that triggered Isagi's instinct in chapter 358.
What to expect in chapter 360
Isagi against Teddy Knight is the promise of the chapter. Three questions remain open: how Lockhart shifts the physical balance of England's midfield, whether Fox lets Teddy answer Isagi's provocation, and whether the Cerberus system can strike a second time.
Kaneshiro's pace on this arc has been steady: one chapter a week, with no break announced for September.
