Blue Lock Chapter 273: Rin Resets His Attack as He Looks to Defeat Sae’s Illusion

Following the publication of Blue Lock chapter 273, the manga continued the ongoing match between Bastard Munchen and Paris X Gen. Fans eagerly awaited a showdown between Rin, Isagi, and Kaiser. However, Rin surprised everyone by surpassing both of his opponents with his unique and unpredictable playing style.

In the previous chapter, Isagi and Kaiser joined forces to face off against Rin Itoshi. However, Ness’s pressure caused the ball to fall to Charles, who then passed it to Shidou with a long ball. Despite this, Kaiser managed to block the pass, resulting in a continuous and intense exchange between Isagi, Kaiser, and Rin, effectively neutralizing each other’s attacks.

In Blue Lock chapter 273, titled “Beast of Destruction,”Rin Itoshi received the ball from Nanase Nijiro. He then proceeded to charge towards Kurona, Hiori, and Raichi, successfully getting past each of them. However, upon realizing he was not moving fast enough, Rin passed the ball to Tokimitsu. Working together with Nanase, they formed a new attacking strategy for Rin.

Just as Nanase passed the ball to Rin, Hiori also arrived at Rin’s position. Kurona and Raichi quickly moved to block his path, but the Paris X Gen striker was able to outmaneuver them by skillfully controlling the ball and executing a flick, allowing him to reach the perfect spot for his shot.

Despite the arrival of Yoichi Isagi and Michael Kaiser to block Rin, they were both convinced that Rin had a clear shot at scoring a goal. However, to their surprise, Rin refrained from taking the shot. He was determined not to settle for a mediocre goal in front of his brother Itoshi Sae, and thus decided to reset the play and risk everything to score the winning goal.

Rin Itoshi returned the ball to Charles Chevalier, inviting anyone who was brave enough to join him in the offensive. This sent a chill down Charles Chevalier’s spine, while the other players from Paris X Gen were perplexed by Rin’s choice. Even the Master Strikers Julian Loki and Noel Noa disagreed with Rin’s decision, seeing him as a selfish and egoistic player.

As Paris X Gen resumed their attack, Yoichi Isagi attempted to analyze Rin Itoshi’s movements. However, unlike other geniuses such as Seishiro Nagi, Shoei Barou, and Michael Kaiser, Rin’s movements were unfathomable, making her a formidable force of destruction.

After Blue Lock chapter 273, the focus shifted to Rin Itoshi as he made a beeline toward the goal. He questioned his fellow players about their experience of playing football with their lives at stake. His ultimate goal was to defeat Sae Itoshi, and he demanded that someone replicate his most powerful illusion on the field. Yoichi Isagi appeared to be shaken by Rin Itoshi’s presence, as the goal seemed within reach, especially since he opted not to score the “lukewarm”one.
