Blue Lock Manga Chapter 276
Review
Alright. So today I'm back with yet another chapter review and today we will go over Chapter 276.
Initial Thoughts on Chapter 276
So for Chapter 276, also called "The Last," we usually start off by reading the text at the top, but for this chapter, I can't find it, so let's just get straight into it instead.
The Goal and Reactions
Chapter 276 starts off with the crowd being absolutely ecstatic over Rin's goal. They get up from their seats and start to scream "goal" over and over again as they celebrate. After that, we leave them and see the real superstar of this match who's now kneeling on the ground with a bleeding nose.
The commentator asks the world to pay attention as at the 11th hour, PXG ties the score and says that this is Blue Lock's number one, Riitosshi. We get a close-up of Rin's face which has an ecstatic feeling to it while Isagi is just looking at him in shock.
Character Interactions and Conflicts
Nanasi is also looking at him and is amazed at his crash shot, but he isn't the only one as Rei and Karas also can't understand what just went down out of nowhere. Charles starts to run towards Rin as he screams at him, telling him that he is out of his mind. Charles goes right by his side and starts to laugh at his nosebleed while saying that his shot was just insane and incredible.
After that, he tells Rin that he's definitely got some loose screw somewhere and says that he loves it while also saying a devil emoji as the weirdo that he is. Shida overhears this and comes by. He asks Charles which one of them he likes better. After that, he gets an annoyed facial expression as he tells Rin that he just can't stand his personality or those lower lashes of his.
Rin's Realization and Isagi's Reflection
Isagi is lost as having himself so close to Rin should have stopped him as he knew that he would crash into Asahi but still he wasn't the least bit afraid. He thinks back to Rin saying that the feeling he got from that goal felt so good and also compares that to his goal against Team Niko when he got the exact same feeling. He concludes that they both felt the same thing and starts to wonder if that means that Rin has just started to realize his own talent.
Loki and Noah's Entry into the Match
But just then someone takes their hand and grabs Rin close to him. Rin is shocked as he's just randomly getting pulled back but we later see that it was none other than Julian Loki who is having a dark and almost furious feeling to him. Nanasi and Karas don't know what is happening as Loki has never done this before, and Isagi just watches quietly by.
Final Moments and Upcoming Climax
After that, the new players take the field and the commentators come on once again saying that with a score of two to two, the final match reaches its climax. The point from this last goal will determine the game with both teams' masters in play and the game hitting its peak who will score the last point and become the Neoegoist League champion.
Rin vs. Isagi: The Rivalry Intensifies
After that, we get this last awesome panel with Asahi burning up with frustration in the middle while he has Kaiser, Shida, the Rat, Hiyori, and Nes behind him. Wow, there was a lot in this chapter, so let's get into it first. I find Shida and Charles' deal extremely interesting because as I interpret it, Charles will make his own evaluation of the two and then ally himself and pass to the one who Charles himself thinks is capable of changing the world.
Final Thoughts
If Rin's feeling now and the feeling Isagi got when he first entered Blue Lock is the same, then I can't imagine how much more potential Rin is able to unlock, but if that were to be the case, then it just feels kind of insane. Next, I was really happy that we finally got to see a bit of Loki's own ego as he's been kind of a stone face this entire arc. But after Rin's goal, something awakened inside him which made him burn up with excitement and it's insane that we are finally seeing both of the Masters enter this match like seeing Loki and Noah go at each other is going to be wild.
