Blue Lock: Chapter 268 Recap

In Blue Lock chapter 268, titled ‘Pressure,’ the Ubers were shown reacting to Michael Kaiser’s impressive goal. While everyone was in awe of Kaiser’s skills, Shoei Barou eagerly anticipated Isagi’s reaction.

Meanwhile, Paris X Gen was still puzzled. Karasu had tasked Zantetsu with aiding Shidou in escaping from Kunigami Rensuke. As for Rin Itoshi, he spent his time studying his adversaries. Despite the fact that both Isagi and Kaiser had improved, they were not working together. This gave the team a potential weakness to exploit. Unfortunately, Rin was at a loss on how to outsmart his opponents.

As Rin charged towards Isagi, he remembered the time he had effortlessly entered the flow state while facing his brother Itoshi Sae. He was convinced that he could defeat Isagi if he could replicate that state at will. And in just a few moments, Rin was able to once again tap into the flow state and continue his attack on Isagi.

What to anticipate in Blue Lock chapter 269?

In Blue Lock chapter 269, it is highly expected that Rin Itoshi will face off against Yoichi Isagi. Although Isagi had already witnessed Rin’s flow state, the two were once teammates. Therefore, he will have to devise a strategy to overcome it. This turn of events could possibly foreshadow Isagi reaching his own flow state during the match against Paris X Gen.

Furthermore, the manga could also center on the midfielder Charles Chevalier, as he is on the verge of experiencing a breakthrough.
