| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- He's not my favorite player in this series but we get to see a bit of Miyuki's side a bit this episode. This also includes his own thoughts on Mei and his performance previously. I think he has a feeling of both fear and anxiety. And welp, not surprisingly enough, he bumps with Mei's team. I didn't think anything would of escalated there ofc during the flashback. Miyuki's past is cute to watch with that bright smile of his. "Catcher!" XD |

| Miyuki knowing the guys from Inashiro! Mei really seems to like Miyuki. Miyuki not joining Inashiro to beat a stronger team! Miyuki also knowing Chris and Rei before going to Seido and was the reason Miyuki chose to go to Seido! Miyuki in elementary and junior high! He is always smiling and thinking differently from most. He actually really enjoys being a catcher. Seeing Chris when he was younger! To be able to play like that. Really looking forward to the game against Inashiro. All those batting practise to be able to score from Mei! |
 |
| Nice seeing Miyuki's past. Man he really is a bright character then and now. |
 |
| That deadly glare that Miyuki gave Narumiya in the begining... That scene of Miyuki escorting the first-year trio is one of my favorites of the manga, because it's exactly as Haruno imagined lol. I'm glad that they extended the scene of Miyuki's senior league game so that we could see his agressive calls and Chris' own play. It was good to see little Miyuki's house and he cooking his own food (now we know why he's such a good cook), since there's no such scene in the manga. It's also an important episode since it shows the bullying of his teammates and how it affects partially, if not greatly, in his personality... I really liked this episode :D |

Inashiro's a team with a bunch of all-stars like you guys, right? So... I want to face you as an opponent. MIYUKIIII YOU'RE TOO COOL. Damn that was an adorable episode. It was really nice to see a bit of Miyuki's family situation too. I was expecting to see Mei during the Junior High flashback though. |

I really liked this episode :D Same, great episode on Miyuki's background! And I thought the anime additions were really fitting as well. Makes me love Miyuki that much more. And this is why Miyuki is such an awesome guy, he never lets anything get him down. He does he wants and always tries to improve himself. Love how he would rather face a strong opponent than be part of the all-star team. Heh, it's also the reason why Mei likes Miyuki. It's also amazing how he got scouted just in his first year in junior high. |
| Miyuki is such a positive person. It was nice to see this side of him. All the build-up for the match is awesome. Can't wait for it. |
 |
| Chibi Miyuki <3 He was so darn cute and so short!!! >.< He is a very inspirational character, always being positive and optimistic. Chris was so cute too!!!! They all were just adorable! AHHH can we get the next episode now! I can't wait!! |
 |
| Miyuki is such an amazingly positive person. Great flashback. Will make seeing him eventually become emotional more impactful |
 |
| Definitely one of the best episodes of Diamond no Ace in a long time. It was a nice change of pace from the onslaught of baseball match after baseball match. This episode served to get you pumped for the finals, and it was a good breather. It also helps that Miyuki's always been one of my(like most of everyone in here) favorite characters. We all know he's a talented player, but this episode made you realize how great of an attitude he has. Seems like as a kid, he was on his own a lot, and that didn't appear to bother him much. Not only that, whether it's taking a loss or having to put up with team Inashiro's smug comments, the guy doesn't let anything bother him. I both admire him and envy him. I wish I had half the attitude he has. Also loved his first meeting/game with Chris. You can tell how much respect and admiration Miyuki's always had for him, so it was nice to see where it all came from. Chris was a powerhouse, even as a kid. Just a great episode, and I'm more pumped than ever for the finals. I certainly hope Seido wipes the floor with Inashiro, and also wipes the smug look off Mei's face. I hate that guy. |
| MIYUKI <3 <3 <3 CUTENESS OVERLOAD <3 FAVE CHARACTER BANZAI!!! |
| Chibi Miyuki is so damn cute! *.* Love him! It was nice to see his past! :) I can't wait to see Seidou vs. Inashiro *.* Really hope Seidou will win! *.* |
    |
| Huh, I don't remember the bit about his family background being in the one-shot manga at all. Did Terashima-sensei tell the anime people? Anyways, nice episode. |
 |
| It was an okay episode with a nice backstory on Miyuki. I cant wait for the match tho'. Think next episode is also going to be hyping up for the match coming up. |
| Loved this episode. Miyuki and Chris are my fav characters so knowing about them was awesome :D Really liked Miyuki's personality even as a kid. And Chris was BA XD Didn't expect Kazuya and Narumiya knowing each other personally from childhood. I AM HYPED >.< |
 |
| Wooo tiny Miyuki is sooo cute xD |
| Why is tanba bald in the flashback? |

It's also amazing how he got scouted just in his first year in junior high. Yes, I also think the additions were very good. I'm really glad that Terajima-sensei agreed to make it canon so now we know (although partially) how is his family situation. It makes this episode even more impactful especially because Miyuki is such a "playful" character. I can say for sure that even though I already liked him, now I've even more reasons to. He faces his problems head on in that easy-going way of him and for that I respect him. I also liked the parallel they made with Miyuki admitting that both Chris and Takashima-san were the reason why he chose to go to Seido (if I remember correctly there's no such scene in the manga with him admitting it out loud, much less in front of Sawamura), since Miyuki himself is the reason why Sawamura decided to go to Seido as well. They're always inspiring themselves in some way or another (again, Sawamura also admires Chris). It makes me wonder if there will be a day in which someone will decide to go to Seido because Sawamura inspired them...

Did Terashima-sensei tell the anime people? Anyways, nice episode. His family background is not shown in the chapter that showed his junior high days or in any other chapter until the present. If I'm correct, Terajima-sensei seem to have tweeted about this in his twitter yesterday so I think it's safe to assume that, yes, it's canon. He must have participated in the making of the script. little_lemon said: OMG BABY MIYUKI IS THE CUTEST THING EVER >////< Love the talk between Miyuki and Inashiro guys. He was too badass. And little Chris was cute too! hehe The part where they showed the factory, Miyuki's house and dad weren't in the manga. Guess that was the part Terajima-sensei tweeted back then. I still wanted to see his parents' faces tho :O "It doesn't matter as long as baseball remains so fun" was the line I was eager to see. Hoping that there be more feel to it when they animated it. Guess I expected too much. And the part when those evil seniors called Miyuki a "psycho" wasn't animated either. I'm kinda disappointed that they cut some scenes from the manga. Oh I also was expecting that line with more of a "serious air" just like he did in episode 18 when he said "If it means making the pitcher shine, I'll do whatever it takes. I'll lie if I have to, and make myself hated if I have to." Because just like in this scene, when he said "It doesn't matter as long as baseball remains so fun" he seemed to have the same resolution. They kind of censured that bullying part right? Let's be fair, in the manga those bully kids said pretty harsh words to Miyuki and in the next day he was even more beaten up than what was showed, so they sugar-coated it in the anime. |

| MIYUKI BABYYYYY ♥ Inashiro match soon! #gethyped |
| Little Miyuki!! He was so freaking cute and he loves this sport and the positiong he's playing,one of the pure smiles I have seen.I really liked the flashback(he is my fav character) and the first interaction with Chris and the scouting girl. Hyped for the match! |

| BABY KAZUYA :33333 I loved seeing Chris in action too |

Kitoge said: Yea in the first minute before the opening. Tanba was in the dugout and he was bald.Sol_Ou said: Why is tanba bald in the flashback? Was he really? If he was, haha they failed |
| Hmm bald Tanba was foreshadowed even in the flashback : 0 Miyuki <3333 Chris-senpai <3333 Rei-chan <333 |
sheidesu said: Ikr ? <3 <3 <3 MIYUKI <3 <3 <3 CUTENESS OVERLOAD <3 FAVE CHARACTER BANZAI!!! If I didn't already love his character,I would have totally been won over by this younger chibi Kazuya.SOOOOO ADORABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
 |
| So happy we got to see young Chris-senpai too, that adorable baseball star <3 This was definitely a nice break from all the games. |
 |
Sol_Ou said: Why is tanba bald in the flashback? Yeah, I noticed this too haha. I thought this was gonna feel more like a filler episode, but the background between Miyuki and the players of Inashiro will make this next game even more interesting. And it was also nice seeing how Miyuki grew into loving baseball and his position as catcher ^^ |
| Miyuki.... UGH. So adorable~ <3 I love that he was so short. xD |
 . . . . . ✘ . . . . .DO NOT touch my rice. . . . . . I'm Asian. . . . . . |
| Miyuki got rekt by Chris. |
 |
| That gathering by Mei reminded me of Kuroko no Basket. Loved the flashback involving Miyuki and we get to see old Chris being op as well. When I was watching the flashback, It saddened me as I thinking of the present Chris losing his high school baseball days. |
| The Kazuya flashback was interesting, and hilarious!!! |
| I didn’t expect Miyuki to have some history with Mei and I didn’t expect Miyuki to suddenly get a flashback. Mini Chris and Miyuki were adorable. |
 |
| I love Miyukis attitude, choosing to be the challenger and pushing yourself to get better is the way the strong minded go. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Miyuki was a cute shota, Rei looked pretty sexy in that skirt. |
 |
| Baby Miyuki and Baby Chris!!! So cutieee! |
 |
| Miyuki ❤️ I love him. What a well-written character! and Sakurai Takahiro-San ❤️ voice is part of Miyuki's charm. One of the best episodes. I enjoyed it so much. |
| Miyuki as a kid was adorable yet cheeky just like current time lol. Funny how Rei tried to scout him without knowing he was a seventh grader (~12 years old) |
 |
| They knew each other, Mei and Miyuki. Of course they know each other. Nvm, the whole team knew each other before. Oh woah, Miyuki, he stayed because of Chris and Eijun. Tiny Miyuki is adorable haha . Oh woah Shirakawa and Chris are from the same junior high school. Chris was impressive, no wonder Miyuki was inspired by him. |
