Revisiting older characters. Not a bad episode I suppose, but I hope they don't drag this part out too long, or at least show more of Echizen's ventures.

I don't understand this "pupina" part. Did I forgot something from the series? Can you explain it to me? : (

Well, Niou's thing used to be randomly saying "Puri". Shishido started saying something new and was trying to popularize it. Yagyuu called him out on it. Then Niou said "Pupina" and Yagyuu basically says "Oh god, not you too," pretty much expressing annoyance that Niou is also trying a new catchphrase.

So glad TeniPuri is back! If only the manga chapters were a bit more ahead. >.<

Not to try to spoil it but they rarely show Echizen in the manga now. The side characters get a lot more screen time.

Im fucking sick of them 3 stupid filler characters in the episode. If they show up every episode im dropping it. Its like how they do Tina in Toriko.

Oh, it was just an OK episode. Not showing anything for the main characters especially Echizen's scenes. Too less. And all boring characters showed up. Also according to manga, the next episode should be the battle between Sanada x Yukimura, unfortunately, it seems like their luck is out and the coming ones are replaced with Tezuka and Atobe. Are they going according to the manga or are they going to shuffle the manga too?

I was hoping they would ditch that stupid 'Mind-Synch' with Eiji and Oishi, it makes the whole anime look tacky

Kinda "eh" but I guess I'm still excited that there's a new season that it doesn't matter.

I can't seem to remember who won the last time Kikumaru and Oishi played against each other. Either way, I was totally rooting for Oishi since he was busted during before the finals; whatever it was called.

I didn't like Eiji and Oishi's match at all. It was boring -.-'
To think that Niou, Shishido and Gakuto won't be playing again is sad. The same goes for other characters. TT_TT
The pupina part was wonderful *-* Niou is soooo cute!

Shishido. You blush too much. Actually, everyone blushes too much. Not that I'm complaining, though. ♥ But, srsly, POT is as gay as ever~

Loved that Laser Beam. Yagyuu's awesome.

Heartbroken... I'm glad Eiji made it, but Niou and Ryo... ugh. And next, Hiyoshi. Yuuta too, probably.
Thanks for kicking like half of the characters I love |:

The homo level was strong in this episode. No complaints though. It was pretty obvious that Eiji would win, but I still felt really sad about it. Eiji is a much better player as shown during the time he played Singles and even in the Japan vs USA matches.

I knew something fishy was gonna happen when Atobe paired up with that guy and when Tezuka paired up with Kaido. Obviously, the winners will be Tezuka and Atobe...

The last part though. Are we watching sports anime or Naruto? LOL

My thoughts exactly. It made me so sad. Easily one of my favorite PoT episodes.

Ooh ouch, this was a pretty emotional and gay episode... Otori with tears in his eyes after beating Shishido.. T_T although Shishido was such a good sport about it and encouraging Otori at the end<3

And the Golden Pair, ugh, that was pretty painful to watch. It's just like Eiji to not want to play seriously and prolong the match so he could delay the end. Him using Oishi's racquet from now on, ALL THE FEELS<3

Although I don't really believe the losing players are gone for good. I think they're too popular to be gone, frankly. I don't really believe Konomi-sensei or the anime producers would actually write them out of the story. Also, regarding the comment about Echizen not showing up as much in this series, I'm not surprised since Tenipuri's popularity is in part due to all the side characters/rival schools... I mean, I certainly didn't get into this series because of Ryoma. He's actually pretty boring to me.

(Also... "Choi dasa daze" "pupina" XD)

Of course Oishi knew right from the beginning that Eiji was just acting!

I'm actually sad they skipped over Ryoma-Kintarou doubles match, but knowing them, they probably had zero teamwork and was just stealing shots from each other. Ah well...
