Recap of Chapter 272 of Blue Lock

In chapter 272 of Blue Lock, titled ‘Rock-Paper-Scissors,’ Yoichi Isagi and Michael Kaiser teamed up to face off against Rin Itoshi. Upon discovering Rin’s true intentions, he desired to eliminate both Isagi and Kaiser. However, Kaiser refused to comply with Rin’s wishes. It was during this moment that Alexis Ness stepped in and cleared the ball, earning Kaiser’s admiration. Despite this, Kaiser’s feelings towards Ness had changed.

As Charles Chevalier received the ball, Kaiser’s determination to become the top player of Blue Lock grew stronger. He knew that in order to achieve this, he had to overthrow Rin and Isagi. In a crucial moment, Kaiser intercepted Charles’s pass to Shidou, causing Isagi to realize that he was caught in an endless battle with Kaiser and Rin. With each of them capable of defeating the other, Isagi came to the conclusion that the game required a new protagonist to break the ongoing cycle.

What Can We Anticipate from Blue Lock Chapter 273?

In all likelihood, chapter 273 of Blue Lock will center around Rin Itoshi. This is indicated by the previous chapter’s ending, where the ball landed in the possession of Nanase Nijiro, a member of the Rin system. It is highly probable that he will collaborate with Aoshi Tokimitsu to generate a chemical reaction and create a scoring opportunity for Rin Itoshi.

Despite Yoichi Isagi and Michael Kaiser’s attempts to stop the attack, it appears unlikely that they will succeed in the next chapter.
