The rumored spoilers for chapter 272 of Blue Lock were highly anticipated to unveil the upcoming match between Rin Itoshi and Michael Kaiser. As expected, the spoilers did not disappoint, revealing a three-way tie between Isagi, Kaiser, and Rin. The only way to break the deadlock was with a fourth player.

The previous chapter uncovered Rin Itoshi’s background, shedding light on the true nature of Blue Lock’s top Striker.

As if on cue, Kaiser appeared to challenge Rin and attempt to take the ball from him.

Based on the purported spoilers for chapter 272 of Blue Lock, the next installment is set to be named ‘Rock-Paper-Scissors.’ The chapter began with Julian Loki’s voiceover discussing a common occurrence in sports where players unknowingly leave their mouths open or stick out their tongues as a way to release built-up tension and ease their bodies. Unfortunately, Rin Itoshi seemed to have this habit to an extreme degree, making him appear wild.

Noel Noa was also awestruck by the true abilities of Blue Lock’s top player, as revealed in chapter 272 spoilers. The focus then shifted to the highly anticipated match between Rin Itoshi and Michael Kaiser. Yoichi Isagi joined them at that moment, determined to intercept the ball. Meanwhile, Kaiser expressed his desire to face Rin in a one-on-one showdown.

The chapter 272 spoilers of Blue Lock then transitioned to Rin Itoshi’s monologue. His urge to push his opponents to their limits and defeat them stemmed from his innate desire to take on formidable individuals at the risk of his own life. While Sae Itoshi was previously the subject of Rin’s admiration, he now sought to “eliminate”Isagi and Kaiser. Therefore, Rin attempted to goad both Isagi and Kaiser into attacking him, but Kaiser did not fall for his ploy.

Instead, it was Alexis Ness who joined Yoichi Isagi in attempting to take the ball from Rin. After successfully stealing it, Ness asked Kaiser to evaluate his press. However, Kaiser no longer saw himself as Ness’s mentor, so he showed no interest in it. The ball ended up in the hands of Charles Chevalier. As Charles gained possession, Ryusei Shidou made a run, anticipating a pass from the French midfielder.

The focus of Blue Lock chapter 272 spoilers then turned to Michael Kaiser’s monologue about his thoughts on Isagi and Rin’s relationship. Kaiser acknowledged that Rin was considered the top player in Blue Lock while Isagi had been improving in order to defeat him. The dynamic between these two rivals was the heart of Blue Lock. However, Kaiser had his own plans of taking the main character’s position away from them.

As Kaiser had this thought, he used a header to block Charles Chevalier’s long pass to Ryusei Shidou and referred to the midfielder as a supporting character.

After revealing Blue Lock chapter 272 spoilers, the focus then turned to Yoichi Isagi’s contemplation of the current state of the field. Isagi believed that he was stuck in a stalemate with Kaiser and Rin. This was due to the fact that each player had the ability to defeat one another, resulting in an endless cycle. The balance between them was so precise that even the slightest error could result in a goal.

From this, Isagi concluded that in order to achieve their next goal, they needed a fourth member who also strived for the main character position. As a result, the spoilers for Blue Lock chapter 272 concluded with Isagi, Kaiser, and Rin making a promise to score the next goal and attain the throne they desired.
