Review
Today, we’re going over chapter 267, and it’s definitely something special. We’ll see the aftermath of Kaiser’s insane goal and a heartbreaking departure between two characters. I can guarantee that it’s worth sticking around because this chapter is insane.
Kaiser’s Insane Goal – The Aftermath
The chapter starts off with the text at the top saying both teammates and opponents are left speechless as Kaiser’s new weapon smashes into the back of the net. Both Kuiggami and Charles can’t believe their eyes. The commentators scream it was a “Super Galeazzo” and remind the audience that Kaiser, with a single strike, shows why he’s considered one of the best strikers of his generation.
Kaiser celebrates by raising his hand towards the sky, while Naas is in disbelief, wondering what the shot’s trajectory was. Katsu, in shock, realizes that Kaiser was going for this goal the entire time. Meanwhile, Tokimitsu is afraid, saying it’s impossible to stop such a shot.
Kaiser’s New Approach
Isagi watches Kaiser and reflects on his evolution, noting that Kaiser is like an emperor willing to sacrifice everything for his growth. Charles also notes Kaiser’s showmanship, while Hori confronts Kira about why he passed to Kaiser. Kira admits there was no specific reason and that both he and Isagi could have scored. However, Kira tends to side with underdogs, surprising Hori.
Kira’s mindset confuses Hori, who calls him a weirdo, while Isagi asks Kira if he will now always side with Kaiser. Kira says no, explaining that he sides with whoever aligns with his interests in the moment, saying not even the gods know who he’ll side with next.
Isagi’s Realization About Kaiser
Isagi reflects on Kaiser’s evolution, realizing that Kaiser’s goal started when he changed his approach. By passing to reciprocated instead of Naas, and forcing Kuiggami to work with him, Kaiser set up the perfect final pass. Isagi concludes that Kaiser is a “holistic ego type.” Despite this analysis, Isagi feels there’s still something missing in his understanding of Kaiser.
The Heartbreaking Departure of Ness
Ness, filled with admiration for Kaiser, congratulates him for his incredible goal. However, in a surprising twist, Kaiser thanks Ness for his support but says he no longer needs him. Ness is heartbroken, with tears flowing down his face as Kaiser tells him to find a new king. Isagi overhears their conversation and reflects on the differences between “freedom” and “restriction” ego types. He realizes that depending on the environment, people’s performance can change.
Isagi’s New Understanding of Ego Types
Isagi further categorizes ego types into four categories: freedom and restrictive ego types combined with individualistic and holistic ego types. He notes that he and Hori are both holistic and freedom types, while Shida and Bairro are individualistic freedom types. Kuiggami is an individualistic restrictive type, and Kaiser is holistic and restrictive. This new understanding makes Isagi confident that he can eventually pinpoint Kaiser’s weaknesses.
The Final Confrontation
Kaiser approaches Isagi, declaring that he’s more excited than ever and that it’s time to determine who the true king of their generation is. Isagi accepts the challenge, and both players are filled with immense aura, determined to crush each other and claim the title of the world’s best player.
Rin’s Seething Rage
In the final scene, Rin, who has been watching closely, seethes with rage. Overshadowed by his rivals, Rin prepares to assert his dominance and announce himself as the best player in the world.
Final Thoughts
This chapter was packed with action and emotion. Kira’s mysterious behavior, Kaiser’s goal, and Ness’s heartbreak all made for an intense chapter. The dynamic between Kaiser and Isagi has reached its peak, and the competition between them is heating up. Meanwhile, Rin is just waiting for his moment to make an impact.
