In chapter 260, we finally got the long-awaited flashback/backstory chapter for Michael Kaiser, who’s served as the main antagonist of the Neo-Egoist League arc. After flubbing the Kaiser Impact Magnus shot, Kaiser was seen having a breakdown on the field as Isagi and the rest of the team watched in shock. In 260, we learned that Kaiser’s had a very tough childhood with an abusive father, and we also learn that he bought his first football at the age of 12. He then birthed the Kaiser Impact shot when he’s seen delivering a swift roundhouse kick to his own dad’s face.
