Blue Lock chapter 261 Recap

Blue Lock chapter 261, titled Malice, showcased the remainder of Michael Kaiser's past, i.e., the time when he joined Bastard Munchen's youth clubhouse. However, Kaiser did not know how to deal with goodwill. Hence, he chose to treat others with malice. Unfortunately, football requires people to pass the ball to you, which requires trust. Hence, Kaiser chose Ness as a dog who would submit to his malice.

As Kaiser kept defeating his opponents, he realized that he felt more human. With that, he came to understand why his father used to treat him the way he did.

The manga then switched back to the match as Kaiser's shot was again interrupted by Rin Itoshi and Yoichi Isagi. However, this time, Isagi reminded Kaiser that Bastard Munchen was no longer "his" team.

What to expect from Blue Lock chapter 262?

With Kaiser being harshly mocked by Isagi, his arch nemesis, Blue Lock chapter 262 could see Kaiser either give up or go against Isagi to prove himself as the best football player in the Neo-Egoist League. Moreover, the chapter would also progress the events from the previous chapter where Isagi and Rin blocked Kaiser's shot.

With only Ness at his disposal, Kaiser's chances of redemption seem low, considering how the game is at such an intense point. The next chapter would decide whether Kaiser would see the end of the Neo-Egoist League as a winner or a loser.
