Blue Lock: Rin Itoshi’s Potential Awakening and Chapter 271 Foreshadowing

The release of Blue Lock chapter 271 may have revealed a crucial clue regarding Rin Itoshi’s awakening. In the previous chapter, there were signs of a transformation within the green-haired striker. His Berserker State, which had last been seen during the U-20s match, seemed to be resurfacing.

After this event, Michael Kaiser’s explosive awakening compelled Rin to take immediate action. It is possible that in Blue Lock chapter 271, Rin may once again enter that highly destructive state in order to undo the work of the Blue Rose. This state of Rin’s was not just destructive, but it came at a great cost – the sacrifice of lives.

In chapter 270, it was observed that Rin’s awakening occurred when he was cornered by Kaiser’s powerful display. With limited choices, Rin decided to take matters into his own hands by swiftly halting Bastard Munchen’s assault.

Yoichi Isagi notes that Kaiser was not the only one benefiting from his Restriction, but Rin as well. This came as a shock to the mentors, Noel Noa and Julian Loki, as Rin displayed his exceptional skills and determination by aggressively attacking Bastard Munchen. His fierce determination was evident on his face as he effortlessly maneuvered past his opponents with his impressive footwork.

From chapter 271 of Blue Lock, it is revealed that Rin’s past may hold the key to his potential to surpass Kaiser. The chapter highlights Rin’s admiration for the “Evolmen”show during his childhood and how he was captivated by its powerful boss monster. This desire to face formidable opponents was also present in Rin from a young age.

It was likely at that moment when Rin’s ego was born and began to grow. This was evident in the closing minutes of the Japan U20 match, where he displayed a new style of play labeled as a “Berserker State.”This was a departure from his usual approach, where he would use his opponents’ skills to his advantage and ultimately score.

In his awakened state, Rin took out his weapons and used them to shut down his opponents. He did this by tricking them into using their strongest weapon before defeating them head on. As seen in Blue Lock chapter 271, with the majority of the players defeated, Kaiser confidently challenged for the ball.

Blue Lock chapter 271 implies that Rin will surpass Kaiser by coming to the realization that his ego is not only harmful, but also leads to “destruction at the expense of life.”In order for Rin to reach his full potential, he must defeat Kaiser, ultimately resulting in Kaiser sacrificing or losing his “life.”

In conclusion

With his exceptional skills and notorious reputation, it is no secret that Rin Itoshi is a force to be reckoned with. However, his intensive training and recent advancements have elevated him to a whole new level, solidifying his position as the top-ranked player in Blue Lock. As he continues to master his Flow State, also known as Berserker, there is no doubt that he will continue to soar to even greater heights.

It was astonishing for both teams’ mentors to witness him single-handedly halt Bastard Munchen’s assault. This serves as further evidence of the green-haired teen’s significant transformation and potential, as previously noted by Sae Itoshi. Blue Lock chapter 271 marks the start of this development.
