| I just realized something. If all of them bet on Toua then no one will get paid even if Toua won. |

"I have been wielding a blade since before your were swimming around your father's scrotum." - Kurou |
| What a god. Most of the time, everyone focuses on the batters. Home-runs are praised, it is rare to see a shining pitcher. Just seeing every single batter get struck out by Toua was very pleasing to watch. |
 |
| Come on man, can you at least look like you give 2 fucks? Toua, at least pretend to care. That other pitcher looks very interesting, I sense a heated rivalry brewing |
 |
| Wow the owner of the Lycaons is sure having to give Toua a shitload of money. The owner's gonna go bankrupt if this keeps up. I was confused about when Toua is supposed to pay the 50 million yen at first until I realized that he only has to give the owner 50 million yen if the opposing team scores a home run when he's pitching. Great episode. It seems that this is where the anime truly begins. 8/10 |
| I had to pause in the middle to read all the baseball rules. Anyways, great ep. |
| Impressive, I wonder if we will get the perspective from inside his mind. |
 |
| Interesting way to not lose and get Toua on the team lol. Toua is just so awesome! Pitching out entire teams, I didn't think it possible lol. He gon' be rich! |
 |
| Technically it isn't, mind games will never get you this far in Professional Baseball, mainly because batters are nowhere near as easily shaken. However having said that, I do like the set-up for this series. Also the fact the owner signed a contract like that with an "unknown" pitcher is even more dumb than signing a contract with a famous pitcher, at least then you could calculate your chances of losing/winning money. |
 |
| Low whistle. Damn Toua, damn. |
This is my first sports anime. So far, pretty exciting. Looks like the manager didn't follow Sun Tzu's advice:  Seems Tokuchi now has the best contract in the team 2.3 mil dollars just for the preseason games lol. |

| well now it's getting interesting, i'm starting to like it. I want to see a tough opponent against toua. |
 |
| Ah, now I just want to see Toua ruin the owner! :D Yay, take all his economy! I just wonder how they'll explain his supremacy on the field. There must be somekind of non-supernatural explanation to the terror he put in those poor batter, right? |
| «Time is passing so quickly. Right now, I feel like complaining to Einstein. Whether time is slow or fast depends on perception. Relativity theory is so romantic. And so sad.» - Kurisu Makise a.k.a. The Zombie |
| Even though he Toua promised not to gamble anymore ... he made a contract with the owner that's basically like gambling :D 270 Million Yen! Loving this show so far. |
 |
| good animay, but has a little too much moaning |
 |
| I expected Kojima to do that lol Omg 270 fucking million... wow. |
| Amazing,lol,I wonder how much money will the owner have at the end of the season. |
 |
| Fuckin knew it! i sees through the bullshit. |
| 270m, the owner will go poor quick haha |
| Interesting to see that Toua was admirable enough to not count the deadball as a strike. In the end, it's paying off because now he's making bank out of the contract he signed with the owner xD |
 |
| He made a shit ton of money, that's what you get for underestimating him Owner-san!! |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| Surprised how they handled the outcome of the game,Toua lost against Kojima and became pro. Loved how he wrecked the owner and the batter of the opponents team. |

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Since the first eps. Im not really into this kind of sport , im just think the MC is cool with his style but now ,, damn,, i think just got great anime to watch this week.. |
| What did You expect? life sucks from the get go.... |
| I don't understand anything about baseball but Toua is so cool lol Kaitani is really good! I love his "Liar Game" and this anime is great too! |
 |
| LESGOOOOOOOO, HUSBANDO TOUA!!!!!!!!!!! I'm actually quite impressed with how cooperative he's being, and pitching well lolol Granted, there's money involved, but still xD Someone come and unleash his full pitching potential yo. Would love to see it. Toua doesn't seem entertained enough hehe Absolutely loved Kojima's proud smirks when ppl finally recognize how amazing/terrifying his new recruit is C: |
| I only found out about the One Outs mangaka being the same guy who made Liar Game thanks to a previous post here and now that I think about it, it definitely makes perfect sense. The high-stakes gambles and Toua looking just like one of Liar Game's characters weren't just a coincidence after all~ It was really nice of Toua to graciously accept his loss despite Kojima's win barely being a win at all. Now that he's become a professional player, the opportunities for easy and big money will only be increasing more and more from here on out! The owner fucked up big time by agreeing to take that bet but with a pitcher of his caliber working for the Lycoans, there's no doubt that he'd be their greatest asset in going for the championships. |
 |
| I judged from the cover and thought this was gonna be some gun shooting anime, turned out baseball anime lol Well, Didn't notice that baseball balloon. But the cruelness is not that difference when these players actually trying to win the game. It's impressive that they can give so much details about psychological stuffs and mental games going on just between the pitcher and the batter. felt some chills tho. Well, Kojima self-sacrificed and cause of that unpredictable action, he won the game. He thought his kindness and self sacrificing is weakness. But even if his hand isn't injured, it would still be difficult to outsmart that spike hair guy. That guy is too clever. |
  "Self respect is the greatest gift we can give to our self" |
| That was great, Toua eliminated the whole team and wins 270M yens |
 |
| He is just way too good lol |
 |
| Boy before watching this, I expected him to have a crazy fastball and breaking ball but it's the exact opposite!! damn this mc is so good, |
| So Tokuchi accepted his loss. That was an unexpected outcome. And now lol he is making crazy amounts of money from the contract. Will the owner of the team be the main antagonist? |
