The latest installment of Blue Lock, chapter 264, named ‘Dead, Dead, Dead, or Alive,’ delved into the past of Kiyora Jin. The manga unveiled the tale of how Kiyora Jin was fated to constantly teeter on the edge. This was evident from the very beginning, as he was born with a severe illness that gave him only a 50% chance of survival. However, against all odds, Kiyora fought for his life and emerged victorious, entering the world with strength and determination.

Despite having siblings, Kiyora was constantly caught in the middle of his two brothers’ quarrels at home. But he soon came to realize that regardless of which side he chose, his presence would always determine the outcome of the conflict.

Despite the obstacles and challenges, Kiyora’s natural drive carried him through the boundaries and to this point in his journey with Blue Lock. With his one chance to prove himself in the Neo-Egoist League, Kiyora found himself torn between Isagi and Kaiser, fully aware that his decision would have a significant impact.

In Blue Lock chapter 264, the focus shifted to the match as Yoichi Isagi realized that it was centered around him. His teammates’ actions were all directed towards him, while his opponents kept a close eye on his every move. However, Michael Kaiser took advantage of the situation and changed his strategy, no longer working with Alexis Ness. Instead, he began manipulating the Blue Lock players to help him achieve his own goal.

Following that, Chapter 264 of Blue Lock depicted Isagi and Kurona Ranze teaming up to launch an attack. However, their efforts were thwarted when they were ambushed by Tokimitsu and Nanase, resulting in Isagi losing possession of the ball. Out of nowhere, Michael Kaiser appeared and swiftly snatched the ball from Nanase. With the ball now in his possession, Kaiser cleverly maneuvered past the other Paris X Gen players by forcing Kunigami to execute a post one-two with him.

This experience made Isagi recognize that Kaiser’s attention was not directed towards him, but rather towards his imperfections. Additionally, it appeared that the German forward was manipulating the Blue Lock players to conform to his desires. However, Kaiser’s efforts were thwarted by the combined efforts of Tabito Karasu and Rin Itoshi, resulting in the ball landing in the hands of Hiori Yo.

In chapter 264 of Blue Lock, Hiori Yo and Kurona Ranze were seen creating a potential scoring opportunity for Isagi. However, their efforts were thwarted by the sudden appearance of Charles Chevalier, who cleared the ball and stopped Isagi’s attack. Isagi had initially believed that Charles was demotivated and would not put in much effort to stop him. Fortunately, the ball landed in the possession of Alexis Ness, who remained faithful to Michael Kaiser and was determined to assist him in scoring his goal.
