Upon realizing his true nature, Rin wished to destroy both Isagi and Kaiser. However, Kaiser did not move the way Rin wished. That's when Alexis Ness cleared the ball away to gain Kaiser's approval. Unfortunately, Kaiser no longer cared about him.As the ball dropped to Charles Chevalier, Kaiser realized that if he wanted to become Blue Lock's main character, he had to dethrone Rin and Isagi. Thus, he blocked Charles's pass to Shidou. This instance helped Isagi realize that he was stuck in an infinite cycle with Kaiser and Rin. Each of them was capable of taking down the other, thus Isagi deduced that the game needed a new protagonist to break the cycle.What to expect from Blue Lock chapter 273?Kaiser, Rin, and Isagi as seen in the Blue Lock manga (Image via Kodansha)Blue Lock chapter 273 will most likely focus on Rin Itoshi.
