Wow what an awesome episode. Tama just keeps getting more and more entertaining. Also realized I don't like Miya at all lol. Next week should be pretty crazy too.

What I don't get about Miya Miya, is how come she doesn't do anything about her stalker? She can get really strong when she goes into bitch mode, so how come she just doesn't confront her? That girl isn't going to magically disappear. I wonder if Tama is going to be taken out or something, the teacher had a very serious face at the end. Oh and great episode.

I was thinking the same thing. Theyv'e written him as a good teacher, who wants to win but not at the expense of the health of his students.

It's probably a false alarm like with Kirino's mom. Most likely he will scold her for not saying anything about the injury and then give some time off (judging from the fact most of the next episode seems to be at her home).

Wow, Tama-chan unlocked her aura... that girl deserved it. I think even Saturn-san was impressed.

Kind of wish the other fights (besides Satorin's) were longer though, but I still liked this ep a lot.

Atomic fire blade!

From the expression the sensei showed in the last few seconds I wonder if it means he's planning on taking her out.

Anyways good episode. "Atomic fire blade" ftw.

That was a seriously good episode. It was so intense, it makes me want to take up kendo. I took fencing, so I think I might actually enjoy kendo.
Tama-chan was so intense, even her war-cry made the other girl break out into a cold sweat. Had the girl shook, before she even made her first move. I love Tama-chan, and this entire series - Yeah!

Kirino is awesome when serious. I like Saya too. Those two rarely lose. And then of course there's Tama who brings justice on her opponent like a machine. Azuma is comic relief, but she's impressive too. She's my favourite. Her temporary moments of peace were hilarious.

That evil girl pissed me off. I'm glad she went down the way she did. Next episode looks interesting. It looks like there will be an argument between Tama and Ishida.

Trance Kirino! Atomic Fire Blade! Awesome. That is epic win, ROFL. And yeah, intense. Definitely intense. I was on the edge of my seat. Tama is just amazing, she can stand with that can of injury (and still hold her ground). I was disappointed Miya lost again. I hope in the next set of matches she goes into reflection mode and then has her own "trance" mode you could say. I bet she will, she has to win at least once in this own show.

Man, I hope Kojiro doesn't take her out of the match, but I guess it's really the responsible thing to do as an adult. Thinking differently from all the Tama freaks, Kirino was great as usual! Good ep.

awesome episode! I loved every minute of it. Satorin's fluctuating bowel movement made me ROFL. Kirino wasn't to shabby either. she was in control the entire match. as for Tama, well, she's in whole another dimension when she's serious. that Konishi shouldn't have messed with her because she's gonna be in a whole lot of pain. that is if Kojiro doesn't pull her out of her match. I have this feeling that he will though.

Every character had their moments. Well, we're all waiting for the day when Miya-Miya wins though...

I never thought it was possible, but Tama's match was just as intense as an episode of Kaiji or Shion no Ou. And now, what will Kojiro do...

I was expecting Miya Miya to win for once. There's always next time I guess. She really has to do something about that stalker first though.

Trance Kirino was awesome and the same can be said for Tama. She's quite intimidating when pissed.

I'd be surprised if Tama's opponent is in any condition to fight after receiving throat strike at that level. She had it coming though.

honestly, this episode is pretty bad. The whole thing is an insult to anyone's intelligence because the team/Tama let it happen without doing anything about it

1. They knew ahead of time about the rumors, they could've sent someone with Tama as a precaution. The girl even revealed her bad intentions to Azuma and she didn't say anything.

2. Tama literally just let herself be dragged in without a fight, she practices kendo every day vs girls who obviously don't, so she should've been able to put up a bit of a fight at least if not outright shrug them off or even shout for help. She even had a cell phone soooo and the thumbtacks obviously gave it away that someone had it for her. This is the dumbest really...

3. Finally, she retardedly decide to follow the girl towards some path instead of you know, going where she's supposed to. And step on a ball? Are you kidding me?

I understand they did it to take the episode to where it is, but they could've came up with a situation that didn't require the protag being braindead.

Damn, they could've won easily without the food and Reimi... at least Tama destroyed that bitch. I hope sensei doesn't forfeit now just because Tama is hurt, she endured it to win after all.

Some dirty, underhanded tactics were at play this ep, but fair play to Tama for sticking throughout. Her efforts might become void tho, if the preview is to be believed.

Dammit Azuma. You should have easily won that fight, lol.
