Blue Lock chapter 243, titled The Blue Rose and the Magician Part 2, opened with Michael Kaiser asking Alexis Ness if he believed in the impossible. After seeing Ness fall into despair, Kaiser was certain that he was about to give up. As per Kaiser, the instinct to quit was a curse that people gave into. Hence, he hated people who did not want to try and achieve the impossible.
Michael Kaiser admitted that their opponents were strong, but they weren't doing anything extraordinary. With Ness' dribbling and passes, Kaiser was certain that they would be able to achieve the impossible. Thus, he offered his hand to Ness, hoping to partner up. In that moment, Ness entrusted Kaiser and began passing the ball to him. Shockingly, Kaiser scored goals from tight angles, winning the match for his team 3-2.

Thus, as a result of their win, both Kaiser and Ness were admitted into Bastard Munchen. As more time passed by, both boys got closer and formed a deeper partnership. The chapter later showed Ness cutting Kaiser's hair. During this, Kaiser opened up to Alexis Ness.
Kaiser revealed that he was previously a mentally weak person. Hence, he got a Blue Rose tattoo to symbolize the impossible. Considering that blue rose wasn't natural, it was a way for him to defy the natural order of things. Following that, Kaiser revealed that he wanted to win the World Cup and Champions League. Ness was happy that Kaiser opened up to him. With that, he began sharing the same dream as him.
