Blue Lock chapter 260 Recap
Blue Lock chapter 260 revealed Michael Kaiser's tragic past. After his mother left him, his father drowned himself in liquor and forced Michael to steal food and daily necessities. To make matters worse, the father used to abuse Kaiser physically and mentally.
In response, Kaiser rebelled by saving up money to one day escape his father's torment. Around this time, he bought a football for his 12th birthday. The reason he chose a football was because no matter what he did to it, it would stay silent and do nothing.
The manga later revealed how Michael Kaiser was framed for a robbery by his friend. When the police arrived to arrest Michael, his father claimed all of his hidden cash.
Moments later, when Kaiser's father tried bursting his football to check for money, Kaiser beat up his father and policemen. The manga then revealed how Ray Dark (then a PIFA agent) offered to help Kaiser escape prison if he would agree to play football.
