The alleged Blue Lock chapter 271 spoilers were supposed to reveal Rin Itoshi's past with his brother Sae. Needless to say; the alleged spoilers did not disappoint as the manga delved into it. However, it didn't entirely focus on it; instead, it focused on the origin of Rin Itoshi's ego.

The previous chapter saw Rin Itoshi initiate his counterattack against Bastard Munchen. During this, Yoichi Isagi realized that Rin was a restrictive world-type player. On top of that, he needed to emulate Sae Itoshi if he wanted to stop his rival. As for Rin, his ego happened to unravel his woven memories.

According to the alleged Blue Lock chapter 271 spoilers, the upcoming chapter will be titled "World is Beautiful." The manga chapter opens with Sae and Rin Itoshi returning home as their mother asks Rin about the broken toys. However, Sae took the blame for it and saved his brother from getting scolded.

Blue Lock chapter 271 spoilers then switched to a scene from a popular show surrounding "Evolmen" fighting a monster. Children seemingly loved this show and reenacted its scenes in kindergarten by asking their teacher to act as the boss monster. During one such moment, Rin Itoshi observed his classmates and then destroyed a Jenga tower during his turn to play.

Blue Lock chapter 271 spoilers then saw Rin jumping off from atop a climber on a flight of pigeons. Rin missed the pigeons and was left injured with a bleeding nose. The manga later saw Rin's mother concernedly speaking to her husband. Rin had caused trouble at the kindergarten and had jumped off something high, injuring himself again. Thus, she doubted whether she was a good mother. But Rin's father assured his wife that Rin was just showcasing his impulsive nature.

Rin had eavesdropped on the conversation and was left feeling unwanted. Hence, when Sae Itoshi asked Rin if he wanted ice cream, Rin rejected the offer. Instead, Rin asked Sae if he was weird and if his presence bothered the people around him. Sae surprisingly had the perfect answer. He deemed himself weird and asked Rin if he was unhappy being like his brother. This made Rin feel better as he had no qualms about being similar to his brother.

Later, Blue Lock chapter 271 spoilers saw Sae observing Rin watching the "Evolmen" show and asking him about the same. Rin conveyed how he liked the boss monster as they would put their lives on the line to defeat someone far stronger than themselves. So even if Rin were to get beaten up, he wished to fight someone amazing like that someday.

With that, Blue Lock chapter 271 spoilers switched back to the present as Rin Itoshi realized that his ego wasn't just a destructive impulse but a "destruction at the cost of life." Just then, Michael Kaiser challenged Rin for the ball, setting a match-up between them.
