Blue Lock Chapter 270 recap

Blue Lock Chapter 270, titled Break, continues from the previous chapter and opens with Rin bypassing Raichi Jingo and Kiyora Jin, aided by a quick pass from Nanase Nijiro. As Rin advances, Hiori Yo attempts to block him, but Rin effortlessly maneuvers past him using a rainbow flick, maintaining his forward momentum.

Yoichi Isagi observes Rin's dynamic play, realizing that Rin's constant motion and ball control are central to his strategy. This leads Isagi to understand that being the focal point of the field allows Rin to predict his movements, making Rin a ‘self-type’ player, unlike Michael Kaiser, who is a ‘world-type’ player.

Rin's approach focuses solely on his skill set, a distinction that defines his gameplay. Isagi notes that Rin is approaching the level of performance he exhibited in the match against the U-20 Japanese National team in Blue Lock Chapter 270. Unlike that match, where Rin's brother Sae managed to suppress him, no one in the current game can match Rin's prowess.

Recognizing this, Isagi decides to take on the role of Rin's challenger, hoping to replicate Sae's defensive efforts. As Isagi gives Rin a shoulder push, the narrative shifts to a flashback of Rin and Sae's childhood. In this memory, Rin is seen playing with his toys with great enthusiasm, to the point of drooling.

Sae notices this and wipes his face in Blue Lock Chapter 270, commenting on Rin's habit of drooling when overly excited. Sae then warns Rin about the fragility of toys compared to humans, who can heal. Rin, worried about being scolded by their parents, is comforted by Sae, who offers to get him ice cream.

The flashback continues with the two brothers enjoying ice cream together. Sae asks Rin if he won a prize on his ice pop, which Rin had missed. Sae reassures Rin, promising to stay by his side until he dies. Blue Lock Chapter 270 ends as it returns to the present. Rin begins to lose control of the ball, realizing that his intense focus on his memories is unraveling his ego.
