Recap of Chapter 261 of Blue Lock

The latest installment of Blue Lock, chapter 261 titled “Malice,”delved into Michael Kaiser’s backstory as a member of Bastard Munchen’s youth clubhouse. Despite being surrounded by goodwill, Kaiser struggled to reciprocate and instead opted to treat others with malice. However, in the world of football, trust and teamwork are essential, making it difficult for Kaiser to succeed. As a result, he chose to view Ness as a submissive dog who would bend to his malicious ways.

As Kaiser continued to triumph over his adversaries, he began to experience a deeper sense of humanity. This led him to comprehend his father’s actions towards him in the past.

The focus of the manga then returned to the match as Rin Itoshi and Yoichi Isagi once again interrupted Kaiser’s shot. However, Isagi made sure to remind Kaiser that Bastard Munchen was no longer exclusively “his”team.

What to anticipate in Blue Lock chapter 262?

In Blue Lock chapter 262, Michael Kaiser will likely attempt to devise a plan to gain control over Bastard Munchen. With only Alexis Ness as his ally, Kaiser was compelled to support the midfielder in stealing the ball. If Ness were to be substituted, it would leave Kaiser vulnerable and ultimately result in Noel Noa having to replace him as well.

Despite Igarashi Gurimu not yet making an appearance, it is possible that he could be substituted in for one of the two German players in the manga.
