Blue Lock chapter 267 recap

Blue Lock chapter 267, titled Golden Ticket, saw Kiyora Jin reveal that he chose Kaiser over Isagi because he was the underdog. Kiyora knew that both players could have scored the goal. Hence, he passed the ball to Kaiser, as his assist to an underdog would be valued more by football clubs.

Following this, Kaiser ended his partnership with Alexis Ness because he wanted to play under restrictions. With that, Kaiser asked Ness to find a new King to follow.

Right after, Kaiser challenged Isagi to see who would score the next goal between them. The goalscorer would be crowned the greatest striker of their generation. Isagi gladly accepted this challenge. Meanwhile, Rin Itoshi, who was yet to score a goal, glared at his three rivals.

What to expect from Blue Lock chapter 268?

Blue Lock chapter 268 will be titled It's Not Just You. As indicated by the climax of the previous chapter, the next chapter could start with a focus on an infuriated Rin who would be looking for the blindspots of Bastard Muchen. After Kaiser's super goal that left the whole Blue Lock in shock, the next chapter could also showcase reactions from other parts of the facility.

As expected, the next chapter would resume the match with PXG having the ball. Although nothing can be said about who would be the ace during the last minutes of the final match, it is expected that Rin would lead the way for his team. With the final match of the Neo Egoist League in its last few minutes, which team would win and put its mark on the world?
