Holy crap 50 consecutive losses!? Who would've thought that'd happen? Maybe 3 but 50? How much time went by with that!? Anyway, feel sorry for her obviously, hopefully she makes some of the other wrestlers moan next time.

I found this episode to be pretty stupid.

There was way too much moaning, and the 50 losses was quite extreme and unbelievable

Oh c'mon, the "Boston Crab is easily avoidable:

Wtf is this moaning porn?

A dorky wrestler would have already found a way to avoid the "Boston Crab."

Why do they put Sakura in a Steiner Recliner as an alternative?

Painful to watch in more ways that one. Not even the fanservice is any good thanks to the lazy animation. Hope they improve a lot by next episode.

The episode started with her scream and ended with her scream. What a show! lol This is a rare anime I don't feel sorry for female characters when they are tormented. They do the sports at the risk of getting tormented on their own free will.

I was planning on watching this show just for the voice cast, but it's so awful that I don't think I can sit through any more. This entire episode was just Ayana Taketatsu moaning erotically while her character was being subdued with the same move over and over and over again. I didn't think a single episode of a show could get this repetitive. And what's up with the crotch shots? If you made a drinking game out of them alone, every participant would die of alcohol poisoning in the first five minutes.

This shit just doesn't even make any sense. I can't believe that Sakura could take 100 consecutive throws but be incapable of finding a way to get past a single submission hold. I really dig Ayana Taketatsu, Kana Asumi and Haruka Tomatsu, but this show is quite possibly the worst show of the season. Hell, it's even worse than Inu to Hasami wa Tsukaiyou, which is quite a feat.

While I wouldn't have called this a great series I did like it until this episode. However I don't blame Sakura for giving up or for being beaten. I doubt I could take a Boston Crab for anywhere near the length of time she did (and I have no intention of finding out either). I agree with Symbv, "Sakura already endures pain further than many could go, so why shouldn't she give up? Just to prove that she could bear more pain??" No I blame her trainers, and really it makes no sense that they wouldn't have taught her a counter.

Take the training at the end, instead of just telling Sakura to find a way out of the grab wouldn't it help if she actually taught her one? Still I'm going to keep giving a chance for now I think it has potential (otherwise I wouldn't be here).

And yes there was more moaning in this than a politician's secret invite only party.

This comment by cyborgneko999 "The fans love you on top but when your not they hate you like garbage." got me thinking. I havn't read the manga but what would be interesting is if this turns into a social commentary on the nature of fandom and what happens when an idol loses the support of the fans. Something tells me that won't happen.

I laughed at the preview - "for the sake of the sports drama". At least they're admitting it.

I'm starting to ship Sakura with that cute chubby fan of her's, though. He's sticking by her no matter what and I think it'd be really cute if they met properly and hit it off.

Well, this has gone downhill. I get that she loses every match to the boston crab, but do they have to show them all? It's tedious and I'm not sure that I care anymore. This felt like it could have been done in a five minutes episode (including OP/ED). Additionally, the artwork certainly feels stale (as does Sakura's end-of-match yodelling).

p.s. And as others have pointed out, surely someone, somewhere could have suggested that she try something new over the course of 50 matches, especially since her remarkable failures are bringing opprobrium to her stable. Or maybe, she could have just asked somebody.

You would think that after getting beaten by the same move 10x in a row, she'd asked around or do her own research on how to counter boston crab.. Chris Jericho gets countered at least once every match -__-.

Boston crab is painful alright but you'd think that pro wrestlers should have more moves than that. I wish they'd shown more techniques, it looks like Sakura's the kind who would tap out from a simple arm bar.

I also call bullshit that Toyoda can simply suplex that giant woman. That'll be akin to Gail Kim suplexing Awesome Kong, unless Toyoda is as big as Beth Phoenix.

Either no one told her or these seem to be shoot matches. Even so, 50 losses makes her a real jobber, punching bag.

I lived around the corner from "Brian the Silent Mackney" who really was deaf and dumb, not just his nickname. I don't remember him winning a single fight in the 26 years he wrestled though I'm sure he must have early on. By the time I was watching him, he was just a punching bag guy in the ring for the stars to pound on. I went to school with his kids who were not deaf or dumb but they sure knew how to take advantage of parents who were as their mother was also deaf.

Yep, I'm seeing a lot of problems with this anime. It seems the mangaka exaggerated in the numbers(100 throws? 50 defeats with the same technique?) for impact and he doesn't know a thing about training(physical/muscle and parring aren't the only kind of training! Not even the most important. How in the hell a box fighter or even a Basketball player would improve if the only thing they do is training physically and parring/playing a game?)!

For some reason I'm still liking this anime a lot(maybe the opening and ending song?), so I will still give it a try. If it gets better (I'm not talking about sakura beginning to win, for me she could loose a hundred times, if the rest was well made) then I will be happy, but if it keeps the same I will be pretty mad.

Pretty depressing episode. The losses aren't so much the worst part. It was expected for her to lose a lot during her debut period. Turning her back on her idol fans and friends and watching as they abandon her was hard to stomach.

Well, we all know this is the storm that she will have to overcome. At least they aren't glossing over how hard wrestling actually is. I have to keep watching now to see things improve for her.

From wikipedia: "In Japan, the Boston crab is commonly used as a hold to defeat young and inexperienced wrestlers; the ability to overcome the hold is considered a sign of growth".

Unfortunately, Sakura is being put in some of the most brutal Boston crabs I've ever seen... I'm surprised she hasn't been snapped in half a dozen times over. It seems she will eventually learn to break this hold, although learning to avoid it altogether probably won't happen.

I didn't think Toyoda would be so merciless in the training session. It will be interesting to see how Sakura overcomes her sensei, who has her locked in the most painful and devastating crab yet.

Man, at this point I'm really just continuing to watch because I hate to have my "Dropped" list grow. This show is just so damn bad and unrealistic. Yes, I realise Japanese Puro is stiffer than WWE stuff and it is pretty normal to have rookies get hazed in the ring to see if they can handle it, but NO, absoluty NO promoter in their right mind would book a wrestler to lose 50 matches in a row, never mind losing all to the same fvcking finisher. If she can't figure out a way out of the hold, she will be out off the live shows and back to just training at the dojo after maybe 20 matches at the latest. Yes, promotions need weak jobbers to put their stars over, but with 50 losses in a row, she is just damaged goods and has been rendered such a bad wrestler that no crowd will ever give a damn about her again. And getting a non-reaction from the crowd is the last thing any promoter would want.

Now, I realise I shouldn't expect a 100% accurate display of the happenings of puroresu, but still, this is just so far off the mark it's just ridiculous.

And THEN you add in the fact that your 'heroine' is screaming more in one episode than most pornstars scream in their entire career. Might just be worth it to watch the next episode on mute and just read the subs.

I wish Sakura would stop sucking soon and actually figure out how to wrestle. There must be some kind of counter to the Boston Crab, or maybe should could work on her grip so that they won't yank her away from the rope every time. In wrestling that's supposed to require a break in the hold ... of course, this is also a universe where pro wrestling is real, so the rules may be a bit different.

I'd honestly be about to drop it if it wasn't for all the fanservice, and the fact that the next episode preview looks like she'll finally figure out a counter to the Boston Crab and maybe even start winning a match.
