The previous chapter saw Yoichi Isagi planning to make Kaiser's move predictable by hurling abuse at him. While this worked initially, as Kaiser charged at Isagi, he realized what went wrong with him. Hence, to become the best player in the world and defeat Isagi, Kaiser reinvented his ego and became zero, which in his case was being one with his ball.

Blue Lock chapter 262 recap

Blue Lock chapter 262, titled Zero, saw Isagi manipulating Kaiser into becoming obsessed with devouring him. This made Kaiser's moves predictable, helping Isagi walk all over him.

Upon being at the receiving end of this humiliation, Kaiser realized that he was afraid of losing everything he had built up. At some point, after becoming a wanted human being, Kaiser stopped going after higher goals. Instead, he was trying to protect what he had achieved over time.

Kaiser decided to rewrite his ego by removing all of his glory and the sense that he had become human. With that, he decided to become "zero," i.e., one with his ball.

What to expect from Blue Lock chapter 263?

Blue Lock chapter 263 would most likely see the football career of Kaiser come to an end or start from a new page. After Isagi mocked the German player for being a clown, Kaiser was devasted as his pride didn't allow him to become second to anyone, much less his arc-nemesis, Isagi Yoichi.

So, there are chances that the next episode could see Kaiser throwing away his pride and adding a few more players to his arsenal, alongside Ness. But the final match of the Neo Egoist League only a few minutes away from full-time, will Kaiser create an impact on time or will this be his last match as a football player?
