The last chapter of Blue Lock saw Alexis Ness reject Michael Kaiser's suggestion to quit football, determined to help Kaiser become the best. While Kaiser wasn't angry, his and Isagi's innovative gameplay left no room for Ness's outdated style.

As play resumed, Paris X Gen focused on Kaiser, while Rin marked Isagi tightly. Despite the pressure, Isagi and Kaiser crafted a new attack using Isagi's off-the-ball movements and Kaiser's Cross Magnus technique. However, Rin’s sudden evolution disrupted their coordination, neutralizing the threat.

Blue Lock Chapter 290 is expected to see Paris X Gen launching a counterattack, potentially led by Rin Itoshi following his recent evolution. Rin’s newfound understanding could shift the momentum in PXG’s favor, creating opportunities to get through Bastard Munchen’s defense.

Meanwhile, Isagi will likely attempt to understand Rin’s “mutation” to adjust his tactics accordingly. Rin’s improved capabilities, combined with his natural genius, could introduce a number of new challenges, pushing the match into an even more heated battle.
