| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Nice episode! Natsu is LOL. He seems like a good addition to the show. If he can live up to the expectations he should be a nice asset to the team. I just hope Sera doesn't go all emo and start sucking like Tsubaki. LOL, I thought it was Goto rolling around in the grass all hammered from the night before. Urahara Out!! |
 |
| Agreed, Sera is going to be our new Tsubaki. New guy is quite the character; he is on the boarder between awesome and annoying though. Just haven't seen enough of him to decide. |
| Wow, that was a short game. I guess they'll focus more on team dynamics than games for now. I like Natsu. He'll keep Sera on his toes. Sera should have more faith in himself or he'll end up fumbling really badly... |
MrHatandClogs said: - Best image ever.LOL, I thought it was Goto rolling around in the grass all hammered from the night before. Lovely episode, indeed, and Sera makes a much better Tsubaki, honestly... |
| Funny how he made that awesome volleykick, and Tatsumi wasn't even looking. |
 |
| Another nice episode. hahah prince is too hight lol anyway nice he had a bit of goals =) and now sera is getting worried, man he should start being like Natsu, optimistic than thinking about his ranking. i wonder how things will turn out with the forwards now. But seems interesting, plus Natsu seems also good. moremoremoremore |
 |
| A game with the Yokohama Mariners (lol they just translated the Spanish to English) coming next. Makes you wonder what else will happen (besides Sera not scoring lol) |
 |
| Looks like Natsu will add some serious firepower to the offense. Hope Sera steps up his game sooner than later. |
 |
| Good episode. Next episode, it looks like that Tsubaki goes back to his old ways and Sera regresses.... with Mr. ETU realizing some new pressure may be needed. --- Randy |

| Well that was a weird episode. Not only do we NOT get to see most of the game, but it ended very abruptly. Oh well. At least team dynamics is interesting, and we won't have a game every episode (which can get really tedious!). Maybe the new character will push everyone to work harder. Gino was great, as usual. :P |
| Not a bad ep. Finally happy to see a substitution in this anime, was starting to think everyone played 90 mins each week. I like how they added the competition for a spot with someone just coming off injury. Wonder if Sera will lose his place as a starter. |
| I'm still not liking those flash backs. -.- Well, pretty decent episode. |
| that Natsu is a funny addition to the show indeed |
| Some things in this episode make me wonder. 1st. How can Tatsumi didn't recognize Natsu and where this player went when he was injured? He is his manager, surely he already see his biodata etc. Moreover he is ETU's backbone in last season. He is willing to check every of his opponent player. But he doesn't pay much attention to his own players (okay, he also pays some attentions for his player like showed in Murakoshi, Tsubaki, and that baldy case). But still i found this Natsu case a little weird. 2nd. ETU surely has a physiotherapist, but Tatsumi didn't know when will his player comes back from injury. ETU surely has a very good communication sistem in their management. |

ETU surely has a very good communication sistem in their management. he'd never met him in person, chances are he'd only seen videos of him playing and maybe a small picture in his file. and even if he was expecting Natsu to come back that day, there's no reason for him to expect to see him rolling around in the grass laughing and crying. also, Tatsumi did know a lot of what he was being told and said so, Matsubara was just refreshing his memory. which is probably necessary when you've been cramming info about players and coaches from every team in the country into your head nonstop for weeks with very little sleep. |
| Nice episode. The funniest so far for me. Gino is love <3 Sera is such a worrywart, but I hope he stays as a main. This made me lol so much |
| is anyone still watching this or is it only me o.o lol i still love this show ^^ |

Maybe that's the case for my 1st question. But for the 2nd, i can't help thinking that Tatsumi didn't know when Natsu will come back from his injury. I have an impression after he met Natsu in the morning, he called Yuri to check whether there'll be a player return that day. A manager should know when his player comes back again. And i don't see that in this episode. If that's the case ETU surely has a communication problem in their management. A manager should know when his player recover from injury especially when he has a very limited choice, moreover that player is a key player from last season. |

| that new guy is awesome |
| Wow so little viewer XD |
 |
| Very good episode ^^ |
| Nice episode. Sera shouldn't be too worried about his ranking; it'll just put unnecessary pressure on him. |
| How long would it take to earn 50 million yen, Karasawa? - Katsuya No longer than it would take to get to the bank, provided I have a gun. -Karasawa I'm through talking with you. -Katsuya |
| Can we merged this two thread already? |
| |
| Another mediocre episode.... What happened? |
| I loved it. Natsuki rolling on the grass, laughing and then crying was hilarious~ |
 |
| Was key... but definitely is not really a needed player... but hey it's great to see somw fresh faces on the training sessions!! Oh well well... I liked this guy... Although it's borderline between being bubbly + kewl and annoying I found him refreshing nonetheless... he's an interesting guy... since he can do such volleykick with ease after being injured then he gotta have a nice technique and striker sense... he's a great addition for the team... I'm sure he will help ETU stride higher As for Sera... I just hope he tries harder, if not we will have a Tsubaki the Second which is not good since he needs to perk up and really do the trick... I mean he really has to do his work... Oh well whatever... at least this looks really kewl... I love the competition inside the team.... and two win streak looks promising... GOOO WTU! Signs, Green |

| Sera is annoying, and also it looks like he will be more annoying in the next episode. |
 |
| this guy seems like he is really going to over do it |
the only way to stop a gamer from playing is either: beat them, or wait until they get bored (though 2% percent suffer seizures  |
| Dupe threads merged. |
| New guy huh. And he looks to be a star striker. Well ETU certainly seems to need one since they seem to have scored goals with defense and midfield players until now. They also have another win. So i guess they started rolling. |
| Now the focus is shifting towards Sera and Natsu. The footie practice is interesting as always. |
| This was an effective episode not only because it helped to introduce the character of Sera, who we hardly know, but also brought in the new player Natsuki. Now the forwards will have to be more determined to give it their all, and in th end the team will finally have the offensive power that they have been lacking. |
 |
| really liking Natsu so far, really funny guy :D can't wait to see how he will perform in the games of ETU |
| "Truth is always a delusion." - Friedrich Dürrenmatt |
| Natsuki is hilarious. Definitely makes ETU funner to watch! :) The last part made me laugh. |
| Natsu is an amusing fellow, already liking him. Trying to win over Tatsumi, he's like a child who wants attention. Him and Prince make for some hilarious moments. That kick though, wow. |
 |
| Sera is so adorable LOL. Backflips. And Natsu is hilarious. Meri said: Gino is love <3 This made me lol so much |
 |
| the new striker is so epic xD 5/5 |
Sayonara,papa! "Just how a mirror reflects you,people will also reflect your heart." ~Athena Glory,Aria "Whatever happens,happens" ~Spike Spiegel's thoughts on dying(Cowboy Bebop) |
| Gino in a nutshell lol Natsu returns and wants Tatsumi to notice him. Scores a fantastic goal but Tatsumi wasn't paying attention. xD And then Dori and the other guy scold Natsu lol |
 |
| good character development episode. natsu is a good addition, i already want to see how he plays. on the other hand, i want sera to not lose his position. |
