In the latest installment of Blue Lock, chapter 265 titled ‘Beyond Restriction,’ Alexis Ness made an attempt to assist Michael Kaiser in scoring a goal with his powerful move, the Kaiser Impact: Magnus. Despite facing multiple players blocking his path, Kaiser chose not to accept the pass and instead let it rebound to Kiyora Jin. This led to Isagi and Kaiser quickly shifting their focus towards the goal, positioning themselves to receive the ball.

After much consideration, Kiyora Jin made his final decision. He strategically lured Yoichi Isagi into setting up a play where the Paris X Gen players would attack him. However, Kiyora’s true intention was to pass the ball to Kiyora in a way that would block Kaiser’s path. With everything in place for Kaiser’s Impact: Magnus, he was able to successfully unleash his powerful shot.

It is highly anticipated that Blue Lock chapter 266 will showcase the consequences of Michael Kaiser’s Kaiser Impact: Magnus shot. Despite facing resistance from Paris X Gen players Rin Itoshi and Charles Chevalier, Kaiser’s latest weapon was designed specifically to overcome such obstacles. Therefore, with all the necessary conditions in place, Kaiser should have the opportunity to challenge the goalkeeper with his shot.

Therefore, should Kaiser successfully score his goal against Paris X Gen, he may choose to make Kiyora Jin his new partner, with the expectation of scoring a second goal in the match. This turn of events is likely to devastate Alexis Ness.
