In the latest Blue Lock manga chapters, Igarashi Gurimu is praised for his defensive skills, specifically for stopping Rin Itoshi. Noel Noa, one of the star players in the story, acknowledges Igarashi’s weapon – malicia – as being crucial in holding back Rin’s aggressive playing style.
With this recognition, Igarashi’s role in the field has grown significantly, and the world has taken notice. The chapter shows how Noa motivates Igarashi to utilize his abilities against Rin, who has been relentless in his offensive maneuvers.
Blue Lock Chapter 278 Recap
As the chapter progresses, the match resumes, with Noa and Michael Kaiser spearheading the attack. Isagi Yoichi, another key player in the game, attempts to join the attack, hoping to contribute. However, rather than passing the ball to Isagi, Noa uses him as a decoy, strategically making use of Isagi’s positioning to advance the play.
This tactic shocks Isagi, who realizes that Noa isn’t just there to help the team – he’s there specifically to evolve Kaiser. This revelation is a key moment, as it shows that Noa joined the Neo Egoist League not just to support his team, but to help Kaiser grow stronger by providing him with a rival. This situation leaves Isagi feeling frustrated, as it seems like he’s merely a tool for the development of both Kaiser and Rin, his two primary rivals.
With this context, fans are eager to see what happens next in Chapter 279. Michael Kaiser is expected to unleash his signature move, the Kaiser Impact Point Magnus, during a crucial free kick. The distance from the goal, at 29 feet, is well within his shooting range, and the big question is whether Paris X Gen will be able to stop the shot or not. As the Master Strikers – Noel Noa and Kaiser – have only been on the field for about a minute, the match seems poised to continue with more intense moments ahead.
