Blue Lock chapter 271 Recap
Blue Lock chapter 271, titled 'Life is Beautiful,' revealed how Sae Itoshi had started covering up for Rin after he broke his toys. As for Rin, he had developed a destructive nature. This was evident from his actions, which saw him purposely destroying a Jenga tower and trying to catch a pigeon.
Rin later revealed to Sae Itoshi that the ultimate monster inspired him in a children's show. He admired the monster because no matter how weak he was compared to the hero Evolman, he was ready to sacrifice his life to win. This memory helped Rin realize that the true nature of his ego was "life-risking destruction." Just then, Michael Kaiser arrived to challenge him for the ball.
What to expect from Blue Lock chapter 272?
Blue Lock chapter 272 will be titled Rock-Paper-Scissors. As seen in the previous chapter, Rin was blocked by Kaiser as the Bastard Munchen player tried to steal the ball from the Neo-Egoist League's No. 1. Fans can expect Isagi to join these two in the battle of the first-come-first-serve and fight for the ball until one of the players manages to steal it.
Moreover, fans can expect other players to also get involved in the game as Shindou and Charles have been out of view for quite a while. Moreover, Alexis Ness, after he was rejected by Micheal Kaiser, might also make a return and show Kaiser who he declared a lackey. But there is no telling who will win the ball in the end as the final minute of the match draws near.
