Blue Lock chapter 279 recap
Blue Lock chapter 279, titled Soccer Junkies, saw Noel Noa revealing that he never intended to become the world's best player. He only ever followed his striker instincts. In doing so, he identified Julian Loki as his next big threat. With that in mind, Noa asked Kaiser to surpass Loki and compete against him to make him better.
Kaiser did not wish to follow Noa's wishes. He was finally feeling "zero" and launched his Kaiser Impact Point - Magnus free kick, hoping to score his brace. While Isagi tried tracking the shot to steal the goal, he failed. Just then, Julian Loki used his Godspeed to reach the ball and clear it away.
What to expect from Blue Lock chapter 280?
The developments in Blue Lock chapter 280 will highly depend on where the ball would land after Julian Loki cleared Kaiser's free kick away. If the ball were to stay within the field, Paris X Gen would likely initiate their counterattack. However, if the ball were to go out of bounds either for a throw-in or corner kick, Bastard Munchen may have another chance to score the match-winning goal.
