| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Lol, ball 4. Well, it looks like Eijun's team is having fun playing at least. A decent amount of plays this episode imo. I think there' still room for improvement but was a fun game. Welp, look who showed up at the end~ |
 |
| See the two trying out their pitches makes me think how wonder of a pitcher Tanba would've been if he wasn't injured for a while. Ochiai really knows how to get Haruichi and Kuramochi into full throttle, kind of like inciting a rebellion out of the two and bringing an "I'll show you" mindset as they enter the batter's box, which is really leaving its mark in the game. Ochiai's criticism and making his agenda clear to the players, at least he is clear about his intention. The tension between the two coaches stands out like gold amongst a sea of crows. Yuki's brother sure looks like quite the prospective person. Team B is doing a wonderful job in trying to play a good game, and not so much as to only try to advertise themselves. Wonder if the lineup would change a little. |
 |
| OP batter incoming? Lel |
 |
| he might be a douche, but that coach knows what he's doing. |
 |
| Kominato brothers flashback. I want to see the two of them together more often. Nabe is always so precious. |
| Ochiai changing the ways of the players. Haruichi doesn't want to bat using the metal bat, but he was forced to. Kuramochi though that it might be suitable for Haruichi to change to metal bat though. Lol when Kuramochi thought that he's a switch hitter because it's cool! I agree though X) But it seems like he's really good on the left side. Maybe it was because he was pissed at Ochiai :P Eijun was doing very well in the beginning, but without a really good catcher like Miyuki, he can't be as effective for the rest of the game. Miyuki didn't think about Eijun's pitches or if they were lacking or not, he only thought that Ono was making predictable calls. As for Furuya, he's a slow starter as usual, but once he gets into the game, he's pretty good. I mean that happens, but it's not as reliable imo as say, Eijun who can start well. I'm really enjoying the match between first string and second string. Second string is putting on a good fight. Nice seeing Yuuki Masashi being scouted and watching the game. I wonder if he will decide to go to the same high school as his older brother. His mind is really set on going pro. Also, good job Eijun for making contact with Furuya's pitch! I love how surprised Furuya, Miyuki, and Haruichi were. Eijun's a bunt master, but I think he may have skills to bat better if he was instructed in it. |
tingy said: Also, good job Eijun for making contact with Furuya's pitch! I love how surprised Furuya, Miyuki, and Haruichi were. Eijun's a bunt master, but I think he may have skills to bat better if he was instructed in it. The detail of this is Eijun normally don't know how to bat and just bunt, but this time from nowhere he hit a good one, he is practicing hiding from everyone? |
| Great episode. At least Ochiai knows what everyone's strengths are. |
 |
| Isn't that the first time sawamura made contact with the ball when actually hitting?! And he's actually thinking about his plays while pitching too! He grows up so fast , I can't even...T-T Even though Ochiai is a good instructor he still pisses me off. |
| ..................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... |
| It's great when everyone gets to show off their appeal. And Sawamura actually got a hit? The world's ending. Hopefully Kawakami will shine through in the coming match. Gotta love Nakata Jouji as Kataoka's old mentor. Should be a great next episode - why does the PV music have to be so sexy? |
| I love how everyone in the second-string team have their small moments to shine. It really shows how much they love playing baseball and why they're part of the team. Sawamura is constantly pitching really well. Really impressed with the second-string player's performance. Furuya's doing pretty well too, pitching with brute force. Of course, the other first-string players are really strong. It's interesting to see them listen to Ochiai's orders and it seems like it does make quite the difference. Not sure if they'll keep doing as what Ochiai told them to do though, we'll see. It was nice to see Yuuki's brother and even Coach Sakaki appear. Seems like Sakaki is checking up on everything but I wonder what he wants to say. Sawamura being able to hit a pitch for once and it happened to be Furuya's pitch?! Well I'll be damned! That shocked everyone. xD |
 |
| Eijun hit Furuya's pitch o/ Tetsu has a little brother... I wanted Haruichi to enjoy himself batting. Not be pushed into using a metal bat ;~; |
 |
| Intense episode |
| New characters look promising. |
| Lol at everyone being surprised that Eijun hit Furuya's pitch.I wonder what kind of batter he would be if he practiced his swing? I like how the match is progressing so far and the 2nd stringers are not doing bad in relation to the 1st stringers.I also like how we were able to explore the feelings of some of the 2nd stringers who just like Eijun never gave up and continue to strive for their respective starting position despite being in the starter's shadow. So not only do we have Koushuu and his glasses friend but Testu's younger brother seems be coming to Seido next year.The future first year crop of Seido is looking promising so far XD. |
 |
| alright all the people going on about "omg sawamura got a hit". come on, you've watched this baseball show for over 100 ep already, cant you tell whats a hit and whats not? Sawamura put the ball in play but he was thrown out, its not a hit, its merely putting it in play. but yea its not everyday he make contact with a pitch. |
| How do I signature? |
| As much as I dislike Ochiai, he does give some motivating and good tips, but nonetheless, still an ass. I still want Kataoka to stay as the main coach and maybe Ochiai as the co-captain. Everyone got surprised when Eijun made a play, and at Furuya's slide xD |
| Knew it was Tetsu's brother as soon as I saw his face. You can definitely see the similarities. Can't wait until the new freshmen join the team. We know of Tetsu's brother and the two guys in the stands in the first game. They all look pretty promising :) |
| Another really good episode, I'm starting to like Coach Ochiai and his approach as he's trying to take out the best in the team. If Coach Kataoka is to leave in the future, it'd be interesting to see what kind of a Seido Coach Ochiai will create. With all that in hand it seems like the former coach is back to Seido as well. Tetsu-san's brother looks promising as well, next ep gonna be awesome to see who this Demon Child is. |
| Testu's brother looks pretty strong; can't wait to see him in action, but that will take a while lol |
| Can't imagine Sawamura being a good senpai to Yuki's brother. So far so good. |
| Tetsu’s brother looks huge! Eijun hit the ball? Wtf! |
 |
| Ohh! Team Furuya vs Team Sawamura. Sawamura is much better now! He even hit the pitch of Furuya! Wow! Ochiai can do something good sometimes. Nice. |
 |
| Ochiai may have a douche mentality but he to an extent knows what he's doing. Still hurts seeing Haruichi being forced to use a metal bat instead of the wooden one. Also promosing to know Yuuki's little brother is going to join next year. |
 |
| Haruichi just keep doing your thing. I guess they have more players that they can use anytime. Noooo Haruichi haha!! She’s scouting already!! Yuki has a younger brother???? What the hell. Coach?? Hello there |

| YUKI'S LITTLE BROTHER IS HUGE. Another new face to join Seidou~ |
 |
| This is super enjoyable Assistant coach being a bit mean tho. Poor Haruichi :( The first years next season are going to be beast I’m predicting a Nationals championship win in S3 |
