Blue Lock: Chapter 271 Recap

In chapter 271 of Blue Lock, which was titled ‘Life is Beautiful,’ it was revealed that Sae Itoshi began to cover for Rin after he started breaking his toys. Rin’s behavior had become destructive, as shown by his deliberate destruction of a Jenga tower and his attempts to catch a pigeon.

Rin disclosed to Sae Itoshi that his inspiration for his actions came from a children’s show’s ultimate monster. He held great admiration for the monster’s willingness to sacrifice its life to defeat the hero Evolman, despite being weaker. This recollection allowed Rin to understand that his ego’s true nature was that of “life-risking destruction.”At that moment, Michael Kaiser appeared to challenge him for the ball.

As Rin has just come to understand the true nature of his ego, it remains to be seen if he can outmaneuver Kaiser and successfully evade his steal attempt.

Subsequently, Rin could be seen attempting to score a goal in the manga. The outcome of his attempt, whether successful or stopped by someone else, remains to be seen.
