Blue Lock chapter 260 is scheduled to release on Wednesday, May 8, 2024. Before the upcoming chapter is officially released, its alleged spoilers could possibly make their way online. However, not all fans may want to wait for so long and have begun discussing what developments to expect in the new installment.
The manga's previous chapter saw Michael Kaiser wanting to make an impact on the match. Hence, he decided to perfect his new Kaiser Impact: Magnus shot in the match itself. Unfortunately, he failed in his attempt as the shot ended up being a shot off target, leading to a goal kick.

What to expect from Blue Lock chapter 260?
Julian Loki could make some changes for Paris X Gen in Blue Lock chapter 260
As seen in Blue Lock chapter 259, titled Impossible Challenge, Paris X Gen midfielder Charles Chevalier seemingly gave up in his attempt at creating a goal as none of his passes to Ryusei Shidou were reaching his target man. This was because Kunigami Rensuke was marking the striker.
This was followed by Charles requesting Master Striker Julian Loki to substitute him out of the match. While one can remain confident that Charles will not get subbed out, Julian Loki will have to do something to keep Charles Chevalier interested in the match. This may see him conduct some major tactical changes in the upcoming episode.
Charles Chevalier could choose Rin Itoshi as his surprise target man in Blue Lock chapter 260
The previous manga chapter saw Charles Chevalier essentially giving up on the match. While it may seem that way, the request to be subbed out could be a ploy by Charles to trick the Bastard Munchen players into thinking that he was disinterested in the match.
Instead, Charles could use the opportunity to switch his target man to Rin Itoshi when everyone least expects it. Therefore, Blue Lock fans can expect Charles Chevalier to create a chemical reaction with Rin Itoshi in Blue Lock chapter 260. However, with even Rin Itoshi out of the loop, the upcoming chapter is expected to include some interesting exchanges.
Michael Kaiser could analyze his Magnus shot in Blue Lock chapter 260
Michael Kaiser knew that his Magnus shot wasn't perfect for in-game use. Nevertheless, he wanted to perfect the same within the match itself. Hence, despite being furious after missing the shot, there is a good chance that he will calm his mind and analyze what went wrong with his previous attempt.
This development could see Michael Kaiser interacting with his partner Alexis Ness. However, there is also a chance that Kaiser will direct his anger at Ness. Such a development could set Alexis Ness up to get subbed out from the match.
This could be how the manga possibly sets up Igarashi Gurimu to get some game time.
