Boo for cutting it at a pretty big cliffhanger. I wonder how the situation is going to be resolved and if Goro is going to say anything to Toshi. But it looks like I was right, Waka (or rather, Miho) is Toshi's sister.

Mayamura dealt, Japan's hitters made a huge rally, and we learn that Sato's imouto is in America. And here I thought Sato was going to get a girlfriend.

Sato had some really bad times before, he even went against Goro in the past because of that, and to think that when he already had forgotten those bad times, comes this.
We can see that he will have a bad time in the next episode from the preview.

Just as expected.
Why must Toshi be blessed with such a lovely sister?

The revelation was spoiled since I looked at Mimiko Noto's roles earlier in the episode since I knew Miho sounded familiar.

Same, will it be a happy one over reuniting with one of his family members (Sure he would hate his mom and dad, but his baby sister he shouldn't, not like she had any say in abandoning him, she couldn't even speak when it happened.), or will he be jealous since they seemed to have chosen her over him. Well either way, this'll surely be an interesting reunion if it happens. Also like Shigeno's reaction when he figures it out and goes "Not my place, lata".

I have high respect for Mayumura's calmness and patience.

Hopefully we won't have to handle too much melodrama about this imouto-ani issue.

So she's the sister... YOU RUINED A DINNER!
I understand that she don't want to meet him. How many years have they been separated? It's a page he turned. Meeting him will probably only bring pain. On the hand, she'll have no choice to meet him at one point. I think the World Cup wasn't the best time to do so.

Japan vs Cuba should be interesting. It would be funny if both Japan and USA lose :D
But it won't happen.

I know Miho has nothing to do with the fact that he was abondoned, but honestly, she should fuck right off if she knows whats good for him.

Poor Miho, I feel bad for her.
Her parents are to blame, she doesn't have nothing to do with it, I hope they died.

Well I mean, Miho is intentionally avoiding Toshiya, so I don't really fault her for coming to America. Being interested in her long lost brother would be natural. It's not like she had a say in the matter.

Hopefully Toshiya's performance won't tank. I also hope he won't take out his anger on her, even if he does hate his parents.

Wasn't expecting to get some family drama revolving around Satou this season,but I'm taking it.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

(Currently rewatching)

No Goro in the match made it kind of underwhelming LOL
They almost lost but Dominican lost their edge near the end.
Mayumura was a fucking beast tho. Love him.

Gaahhhh the sister subplot is so boring. Skipping it.

pretty expected comeback.
wonder how they will wrap up 2 games in the next 12 episodes, it seems though they are going in way of some slice of life episodes, the cliffhanger was good, i hope she will see toshi.

Expected comeback of Japan but I gotta say Mayumura last pitches were awesome.

With Miho's appearance after all these years I hope Toshi'll be happy to reunite without feeling angry over the abandonment (only his shitty parents fault) or even jealous that he wasn't taken.
