Damn, Kakeru and the gang in desperate here.

Looks like he's going into Suguru mode next week.

The match is awesome. Everyone are doing their best. Looks like Suguru will awaken again. Looking forward to next episode.

I'm not sure I follow what happened at the end. Kakeru shot the ball, but Yoin scored?

^ agreed, I understand that he's good, but the dude is supposed to be human, and humans can't teleport. Whatever, I guess logic isn't that important in sports anime. I already gave up on realism when they started having conversations mid game

What did just happen? Did Asuka teleport or something? Kakeru shot the ball but Yoin scored?

WTF just happened?
Asuka teleported or something like that! What the heck.

Oh yeah, for everyone who hasn't noticed, the guy with the flashback of Kakeru, when he was told he was spacing out, he was sitting down, but when it came back to him again, he was standing up holding the drinks! Like, what happened on the animation intervals?!

Hopefully, Suguru mode would put Asuka back in his tracks. He is just way overpowered. Make your comeback Enoshima!

Ye, I'm also getting the "WTF" reaction towards the end. I might re-watch it again later to see what the hell happened this time.

So this match goes on for the next episode. I was hoping that we'll see the end of it in this one. Still, the little history served was pretty enjoyable, especially with Suguru in it. (He's such a great character and it's a real pity to have lost him so soon.) The end of the episode was quite weird and the match wasn't that enjoyable for me mostly due to the background music; it's getting boring. Anyway, looking forward to Suguru's appearance in Kakeru with he next episode.
And slowly, you come to realize... It's all as it should be...

WHAT HAPPENED AT THE END:
For those who are confused about the end It looks like that as Kakeru was about to score, it gets stolen (but it wasn't shown) and then was long passed straight to Asuka who was already running half down the pitch. And since most of Enroshima was playing on offense, it left a big gap in their defense, making Asuka take advantage of that and easily scoring.
Making it 3-1 to Yoin as it's shown on the scoreboard (since they scored 2 goals in the first half already)

Was anyone else using Horrible subs? Because I watched it twice and they said Enoshima tied the game even though it was clearly the other way around.

Yeah I'm pretty sure thats a translation error, Yoin definitely got the goal, otherwise the whole team wouldn't be like all O:
over a tying goal. Unless that shot was amazingly super incredible that it went beyong the speed of light >_>
Also, Asuna's back was showing. Well, maybe next episode should clear a few things either way~

Same here. I realized what happened, but reading the subs I was thinking, "Wait a minute...."

Seriously, who subbed that episode cause I feel kind of forced to downvote that group who makes such obvious mistakes. Not only the fact that Yoin takes a 3-1 lead but also the line that Kakeru is wearing #11 when any idiot can see he's wearing 20.

And ending kind of sucked. Rushing the ending leaving out an entire play just to have it end on a cliffhanger. Lets just hope they'll show us the play next week.

If you think about it the translation mistake is actually understandable.

The translator was most likely using translating from the script rather than the episodes itself (as it's a simulcast), and the previous lines didn't indicate that the goal went the other way. That said it still should have been picked up in a quality check.

And there's no episode next week - episode 24 airs on the 23rd.

There was some translation errors apparently. Anyway i'm asking myself about how enoshima are going to win this match... Even in Suguru's mode Kakeru cannot put 3 goals in 20 or 30 mins!

Is that really a translation error? I didn't hear wrong and I did hear that Enoshima tied the game with Yoin. Japanese "Douten" is "Game tied" in english, right?

At first I thought Asuka tried to block Kakeru's shot which resulted in an own goal, but it clearly didn't give the vibe that the game would be tied. My guess is the keeper blocked it, did a long punt, Asuka got the ball and since the back line left a gap Asuka scored. Idk that's my guess.

Swift and well executed counter that! Way to break the mood, lol. Hope it was the keeper who blocked and iniated this attack as his role thus far was rather forgettable.

Cant stand that but guess its time for Suguru to save out his brother from his misery.

I didn't understand the end at all. The goalkeeper saved and Asuka countered and scored a goal in a just a second? Like wtf?

Yoins defending is quite awful, allowing so many long shots, but then every team in this anime is awful at it.
