Expected plot in Blue Lock Chapter 273
Blue Lock Chapter 273 is likely to focus on Rin Itoshi, especially as the previous chapter ended with the ball landing at Nanase Nijiro's feet. As a member of Rin's system, Nanase might attempt to create a chemical reaction with Aoshi Tokimitsu, aiming to set up a scoring opportunity for Rin.
Isagi and Kaiser may try to thwart this attack, but their success seems uncertain. With the ongoing deadlock between Isagi, Kaiser, and Rin, the match is poised for a breakthrough. Rin, who is in a heightened state of concentration due to his Flow State, may figure out a way to outmaneuver both Isagi and Kaiser, creating a chance for himself to score.
Blue Lock Chapter 272 recap
Blue Lock Chapter 272, titled ‘Rock, Paper, Scissors,’ begins with Julian Loki observing the athletes on the field, noting how they often stick their tongues out when deeply focused. Rin Itoshi's expression, however, appears particularly intense, revealing his wild nature.
This is further acknowledged by Noel Noa, who recognizes Rin's true character. The chapter then shifts to the confrontation between Rin Itoshi and Michael Kaiser. Kaiser blocks Rin's path, preventing him from making a move. Yoichi Isagi soon joins Kaiser in challenging Rin.
During this, Rin thinks about his motivations in Blue Lock Chapter 272, realizing that his desire to defeat strong opponents is rooted in his longing to destroy someone exceptional, a feeling originally sparked by his brother, Sae.
Although Sae isn’t present in this match, Rin sees Isagi and Kaiser as figures capable of bringing out his best, using them as fuel for his competitive drive. As Rin attempts to bypass Kaiser and Isagi, Kaiser remains steadfast, refusing to yield. This is when Alexis Ness intercepts and clears the ball away from Rin.
Ness, hoping for recognition from Kaiser in Blue Lock Chapter 272, is ignored as Kaiser's focus shifts entirely to the ongoing match. The ball Ness cleared ends up with Charles Chevalier, who quickly aims to make a long pass to Ryusei Shidou.
At this moment, Kaiser has an internal realization: Rin is the top player in Blue Lock, with Isagi closely following as his adaptable rival. Kaiser sees these two as the central figures of Blue Lock, making him determined to usurp their position as the protagonist.
He blocks Charles' pass with a header, disrupting the attack. Blue Lock Chapter 272 concludes with Isagi analyzing the situation. He realizes that the current state of the match has created a deadlock among the three strikers — himself, Kaiser, and Rin.
Each of them is locked in a cycle of trying to outdo the others. To break this cycle, someone else on the field must make a decisive move to shift the game's momentum.
