It looks like Reiko returns this episode so I bet Matsutarou is happy.

The food they were having looked delicious. Overall an alright episode. Matsutarou and his man tears though ;_;
I don't ever remember seeing him like this before.

I must admit while it didn't catch me by surprise per say.. It's nice to see a sports anime where the MC doesn't just pussy foot around telling the girl and then when he does he gets her.

I have to say that I am curious as to where it's going to go from here... Reiko was Matsutarou's drive for Sumo Wrestling in the first place and continued to be the key to his determination throughout his career so far. Without her... I wonder what's going to happen.

I felt bad for Matsutarou and Tanaka. Matsutarou confessed his love to Reiko, but he got dumped.

Tanaka tries to cheer Matsutarou up, how nice of him.

This is probably my favorite or second favorite episode of the series thus far. I think this will have a huge impact on Matsutaro's future, and I can't wait to see how he handles this. This is pretty much the first time we've seen him completely vulnerable and completely human. Even in his return home, he still had that cockiness and arrogance, but now he's totally broken up. As others have said, Reiko's the main reason he started Sumo to begin with, or at least wrestle where he's wrestling, so what will he do now? Really great episode, I hope it continues to build.

By the way, does anybody know how many episodes there will be for the season?

Yeah I am very interested in what is going to happen now. She was his drive and now well...I'd like to see if Matsu will chase her regardless of being 'dumped' or just give up...
What a haul! What a HAUL!!!

The show got really serious that episode and ended on such a depressing note. Can't wait to see where it goes from here.

Vengeance of everyone's grudge.

Finally someone puts in place the bad Matsutaro...If it were not for those final two minutes, it would have been another episode to yawn.

Por fin pone alguien en su sitio al malo de Matsutaro...Si no fuera por esos dos minutos finales, hubiera sido otro episodio para bostezar.
