#blue lock 273

[wttcsms]

yet another friendly reminder that this is a SOCCER manga 😭😭

[chodzacaparodia]

Why do I have to have such associations and the first thing I thought when I saw Sae on this panel was: "Oh shit, Genie from Aladdin!"

[galaxynajma]

imagine seeing THAT running towards you

Isagi’s face is totally justified

[lunarcloak]

Just saw leaks for Ch 273. Fuck yeah, this is why Itoshi Rin is my favourite character. He's Unhinged. Absolutely nothing he does is self motivated. He could've scored, could've secured that 2-2 value, but it's not good enough for Sae, so it's not good enough for him.

You FUCKING IDIOT. Why do you make sense to me????

And it's not just that, it's the fact that in his pursuit to make it to the height of talent that Sae expects from him, he's wrecking every other expectation and implicit rule in the progress. Isagi, who's improved SO much over the course of NEL, can't even comprehend what Rin is doing. When it's been emphasised time and time again that Isagi's analysis and metavision capabilities have reached professional, maybe beyond levels of perfection.

Insane. Itoshi Rin, you are insane. Loki's right, in an official match that would be absolutely diabolical. Noa's right, you ARE the worst type of egoist. But only because even at this height of performance it's STILL NOT FOR YOURSELF.

And WHAT THE FUCK IS UP WITH THE TITLE OF THE NEXT CHAPTER?!?!? "No Longer Rivals"???? OH MY FUCKING GOD. Is it implying Rin surpasses Isagi once again?? Isagi stops Rin?? How the fuck does the most polished, most fascinating rivalry (personal opinion) end here??

I mean it makes sense considering the next arc is the world cup wherein they're gonna be on the same team so it was inevitable that there would have to be some sort of resolution for the Rinsagi rivalry here but at the same time Rin is still so hyper focused on Sae he's not even thinking about Isagi rn how the hell are they going to do this. Kaneshiro and Nomura better be working their magic.

Thank goodness for the author giving us other emotion for NEL Isagi other than being psychotically excited or a complacent mf in this arc.

Everyone in the field is scared witless with Rin rampaging about in his Berserker mode.

Even KAISER who is a world class player and member of New Gen is shook.

If the author had decided to make Isagi an unrealistic genius who quickly analyzed Rin's movements faster than Reo's Chameleon Skill, I'd have thrown away my phone on the wall.

Those memes are so much funnier with context, lmao

[yumienikkie]

[boinin]

A lil early for this month, but it's about to hit midnight in Japan 👀 expect the second half of chapter 25 to start doing the rounds soon.

BTW, hoshi's reporting that the main manga will have a two week hiatus (not one as expected). So by my count chapter 273 will release on 27 August (leaks 23 or 24 August approx).

Hope that Nomura-sensei and his assistants get to have a well-earned break ☀️

Reactions to Chaos Creator's Chapters 272-273

Short Summary: Beastkin prisoners rescue operation.

Last chapter, I was expecting a battle scene between two dragons. Unfortunately... we did not get that. 😭 Ryan blocked Eruhaben's attack with a magic shield, and that was it. Even having 2 chapters today did not help because it all focused on Cale's rescue operation.

Chapter 272 was mostly focused on the beastkin prisoners rebelling against Ryan. Chapter 273 was about Cale's allies leading the rescue operation. And Archie being his chaotic self. 😂

Wisha managed to recruit other Aipotu beastkin elders in joining the operation. The rat and mole beastkin dug underground tunnels which were used as escape routes.

Meanwhile, Lock's berserk form awed the wolf beastkin prisoners, making them think he was the Blue Wolf. It did not help that the author became poetic when describing his berserk form. So... Lock would have his own version of Caleism in this world? 🤣🤣🤣

Archie was the funniest this chapter. There was a magic circle that detected anyone mentioning Ryan's name. That magic circle was linked to the magic circle that restricted the use of magic in the lair. So the solution proposed by Cale's group was... to launch the fantasy version of a DDoS attack! 😂

And Archie led that attack. He was the first to shout the name "Ryan" and the others followed his shouting. Even though he was joining the fight, he repeatedly shouted the name Ryan. 😂 Funny thing was, even Gashan's crows were shouting Ryan's name. 🤣🤣🤣

The numerous people shouting Ryan's name then overloaded the magic circle detecting mention of Ryan's name, causing it to be destroyed along with the magic circle restricting the use of magic. Oh yeah, truly a DDoS attack. 😂

Ending Remarks I was disappointed that the 2 chapters did not focus on the dragon fight. Fortunately, the scene changed to Cale and the 3 kids at the end of chapter 273, so expect some chaos on Tuesday next week.

Yes, Tuesday next week. The author posted a note, saying that she would not be able to release the chapter on Monday (April 1) because of a sudden family matter. Thus, the chapter for Monday would be posted on Tuesday, April 2, instead. And that was also the reason why we got 2 chapters today.

Lastly, if you still have not heard, we finally have an official English translation. Seven Seas Entertainment recently released an announcement of their license acquisition for the LCF novel. The 1st volume would be released on September of 2024 for $19.99, with it available in large-trim editions with new covers.

I suspect this was because of RIDI releasing ebooks for TCF recently. My problem would be how many chapters would one volume have. Would it follow RIDI's format of 20-25 chapters per volume? Or would it include more? And that price... yikes. Hopefully, the price of the English ebook version would be lower than the printed version.

RIN THIS IS THE SECOND TIME YOU’VE TRIPPED KURONA

STOP

[lunarcloak]

The official translations for Blue Lock chapters are always so much more satisfying and well done than the fan made translations. It's kind of crazy how some dialogues are completely different in their wording and interpretation.

[lazysublimeengineer]

Ffs.

If I haven't read Blue Lock and someone told me that this is horror manga, I'll really believed them.

Just look at these panels of Rin, he looks like that male protag gone insane from that Spiral manga of Junji Ito.

I'd be running for my life too if someone like him chases me on the field.
