Blue Lock chapter 268 is scheduled to be released on Wednesday, July 10, 2024. The manga has returned from its break and will be releasing chapters as per its weekly schedule. Regardless, not all fans can wait that long in anticipation of the next chapter. Hence, here we have brought you some major predictions for chapter 268.

The previous chapter saw Kiyora Jin reveal that he chose Kaiser over Isagi because he was the underdog. Thus, Kaiser scoring from his assist would be valued more. The manga later saw Kaiser breaking his partnership with Alexis Ness, asking him to find a new king for himself.

What to expect from Blue Lock chapter 268 spoilers?

Rin Itoshi may initiate his attack in chapter 268

The end of Blue Lock chapter 267 saw Rin Itoshi sternly gazing at Yoichi Isagi and Michael Kaiser. All three of his rivals had already scored in the match, overshadowing him. Hence, Rin Itoshi was seething with rage and hoping to assert his dominance against Bastard Munchen soon enough.

Given that Paris X Gen was set to resume the match, there is a good chance that Rin Itoshi will take the kick-off. Upon doing so, he could instantly combine his efforts with Nanase Nijiro and Aoshi Tokimitsu to formulate an attack. Nanase's ambidexterity could have a huge role to play in this attack.

Charles Chevalier may switch from Shidou to Itoshi in chapter 268

As seen in the manga, Charles Chevalier was previously adamant about assisting Ryusei Shidou score his second goal. However, ever since Kunigami Rensuke began man-marking the striker, he was entirely locked out of the match. Soon after, Charles lost interest and stopped contributing to attack and defense.

However, during Bastard Munchen's previous attack, Charles Chevalier started contributing to the match again. This saw him block Yoichi Isagi's shot attempt and block Kaiser's path. Hence, the upcoming manga chapter could see Charles Chevalier switch from Ryusei Shidou to Rin Itoshi to help the striker score his goal.

Alexis Ness may get subbed off in chapter 268

As seen in the previous chapter, after Michael Kaiser scored his goal using the Kaiser Impact Point Magnus Shot, he realized that he could not evolve when he had freedom and instead needed to work under restriction.

Given how playing with Alexis Ness allowed Kaiser to play with freedom, he broke their partnership, hoping to evolve further. With that, Kaiser asked Ness to find a new King to follow.

This development evidently broke Alexis Ness as he began crying. Master Striker Noel Noa should soon notice this and have the attacking midfielder subbed out. Given how the series has yet to see Igarashi Gurimu make his Neo Egoist League debut, Noel Noa could allow him to play.
