Blue Lock chapter 265 recap
Blue Lock chapter 265, titled 'Beyond Restriction,' saw Alexis Ness trying to help Michael Kaiser score a goal with his Kaiser Impact: Magnus. However, given the number of players blocking his path, Kaiser ignored the pass, allowing it to bounce to Kiyora Jin. The moment the ball went to him, Isagi and Kaiser began moving towards the goal, making themselves available.
With that, Kiyora Jin finally made his borderline decision. He baited Yoichi Isagi to make Paris X Gen players charge at him. But in reality, Kiyora had passed the ball to Kiyora by placing such a pass that would stop in Kaiser's path. With all the requirements aligned for Kaiser Impact: Magnus, Kaiser unleashed the shot.
What to expect from Blue Lock chapter 266?
Blue Lock chapter 266 will most likely reveal the aftermath of Michael Kaiser's Kaiser Impact: Magnus shot. While his path was blocked by Paris X Gen players Rin Itoshi and Charles Chevalier, Kaiser's new weapon was tailored to deal with such situations. Hence, given that all the requirements had aligned, Kaiser should at least be able to challenge the goalkeeper with the shot.
Thus, if Kaiser does score his goal against Paris X Gen, he might make Kiyora Jin his new partner, hoping to score a brace in the match. Such a development will likely leave Alexis Ness broken.
