Anticipations for Blue Lock Chapter 279

Michael Kaiser may clinch victory with Kaiser Impact Point Magnus

In the last chapter, Michael Kaiser was positioned to take a free kick after Aoshi Tokimitsu committed a foul on Noel Noa, aiming for the opportunity to use his renowned Kaiser Impact to score. While this ability is quite effective, it leaves a predictable path, prompting Kaiser to consider utilizing the Magnus shot instead.

The manga illustrates that the Magnus shot is most effective when the ball is stationary, making a free kick an ideal moment for Kaiser to potentially secure the winning goal against Paris X Gen. Such a development would signify a victory for Kaiser over Isagi in their final challenge at NEL.

Julian Loki might prevent Michael Kaiser’s freekick

As observed in the series, Michael Kaiser’s Magnus shot is notoriously challenging to block due to its unpredictable trajectory. However, there’s a significant factor at play during this free-kick: Julian Loki’s presence.

Throughout the Blue Lock narrative, Loki has primarily showcased his lightning speed as a unique skill. Yet, as one of the top young forwards globally, it would be quite unusual for him to possess only a single notable trait. This leaves room for speculation that Loki may employ a second skill to thwart Kaiser’s impending free-kick.

Yoichi Isagi could replicate his goal against U-20 Japan

For any football enthusiast, it’s clear that a free kick provides a fantastic chance for the shooter, yet it equally heightens the potential for the shot to be blocked by a defensive wall or redirected by an adversary. In such scenarios, the ball might fall into the hands of players from either side.

This creates an opportunity for Yoichi Isagi to capitalize on a potential block of Kaiser’s free kick by the Paris X Gen players, opening a pathway for him to net a goal—just like he did in his significant match against the U-20 Japan team.
