Blue Lock chapter 291 will most likely see Bastard Munchen initiate their counterattack. With Kaiser clearing the ball away from Rin, the ball likely dropped to one of the Bastard Munchen players. This is because the manga did not show the ball going out of play.
Hence, fans can expect the next manga chapter to focus on Isagi and Kaiser as they yet again become the nucleus behind the German team's attack. That said, Yukimiya Kenyu could again use this opportunity to showcase his pacy dribbling.
