In Blue Lock chapter 261, the reason behind Michael Kaiser’s choice of Alexis Ness as his partner is revealed, shedding light on their dynamic and partnership within the Neo-Egoist League Arc.
Kaiser’s decision stemmed from his need for a partner who would willingly submit to his malice, a crucial aspect of his football strategy and mindset.
As depicted in the chapter, Kaiser’s upbringing shaped his perception of goodwill and kindness, making it difficult for him to accept such gestures. Instead, he found solace in being the target of malice, a familiar and comfortable state for him.
However, he recognized the necessity of developing an ability to excel on his own terms within the football environment, leading him to create the formidable Kaiser Impact Point shot.
Kaiser’s Choice of Selecting Ness as His Partner
Despite his individual prowess, Kaiser understood the importance of having a partner who could provide him with passes and support on the field. In Alexis Ness, Kaiser identified the ideal candidate—a player with exceptional dribbling, passing, and creativity, all qualities that complement Kaiser’s own skills.
However, what truly set Ness apart in Kaiser’s eyes was his sense of isolation and loneliness. Ness’s backstory reveals a lack of support from his family for his passion for magic and the impossible, leaving him feeling isolated and questioning his abilities.
This sense of loneliness resonated with Kaiser, who offered him a partnership that provided both moral support and a powerful weapon in the Kaiser Impact Point.
By extending his hand to Ness, Kaiser offered him a sense of belonging and purpose, alleviating his loneliness and providing him with the opportunity to excel on the football field.
In return, Ness found solace and validation in Kaiser’s partnership, willingly submitting to his malice and forming a formidable duo capable of achieving success in the Neo Egoist League.
