The upcoming Blue Lock chapter 260 will be titled “Piece of Trash” and will most likely focus on Kaiser’s failed attempt at scoring the goal in the previous chapter. As per the last panel of the recent issue, the missed goal causes extreme frustration and dismay in Kaiser, which could be further analyzed in the upcoming release.
Considering Kaiser already knew that the technique may not work when the ball is in motion, he may further rethink the strategy. As such, there is a good possibility that the mangaka will give Kaiser his moment to shine. However, the main question is whether this will happen anytime soon in the manga.

Blue Lock chapter 259 recap: Kaiser unleashes a new technique
While Blue Lock chapter 259, “Challenge the Impossible!” begins with celebrating Isagi’s goal in an earlier chapter, Kaiser fumes at the Paris X Gen player’s success. As such, Kaiser strategizes to team up with Ness to turn the name in his favor.
After Kaiser signals Ness to join him, the match resumes. Rin gets the ball and passes it to Karasu even though Charles requests him to pass it to him. Raichi and Hiyori do not let the ball get through to Karasu, and Kurona gains possession of the ball. He attempts to pass it to Isagi but to no avail.
Ness blocks the ball following Kaiser’s indication, and the duo shoots it, aiming for a goal. However, before the chapter reveals the outcome, a flashback shows how Kaiser explains the Magnus Effect to Ness. Following the detailed explanation, the Bastard Munchen player strategizes to use the technique on the field, only to pair it with the Kaiser Impact.
The elucidation impresses Ness, but Kaiser states that the technique will work only when the ball is at rest. However, since the ball will be in motion during the game, it would be challenging to make it happen. Besides, Kaiser confesses that he has never successfully scored a goal using this technique when the ball moves.
Nevertheless, back in the game, the chapter showcases Kaiser and Ness doing their best to score the goal. They decode the opponent team’s formation, and Kaiser exhibits the Kaiser Impact: Magnus, as the duo had planned. Unfortunately, their score attempt fails due to insufficient spin. Naturally, this frustrates Kaiser, but his reaction is a matter of the upcoming chapter.
