----------------------------------------
Not much to say, just wanted to get the episode topic going. I enjoyed this episode, the added guys from Masahiro Totsuka's other work was kinda weird though. Was actually searching for where those 2 characters are from and the only other manga/novel I can find that's done by Totsuka is called Material Puzzle which isn't the title listed in the TL note by STAR fansubs for this episode.

A team who fights dirty and will do anything to win? In my sports anime? The preview sort of ruins any minor suspense about the ending though.

Another solid episode, but wouldn't the league get suspicious of the fact that that girl's opponents get suddenly injured or disappear before most of her matches?
Saya worrying about Kirino was cute and that Sega Saturn bit was hilarious.

That has never stopped this plot device before. :-p I'm kinda curious to see how Tama is when you really piss her off.

She got scared. Plus right after it happened she just vanished, so I think she couldn't even confirm it was her.

I agree, this type of cheating is so obvious! Officials will start to wonder ...

Tama's probably gonna go red-mode (*cues blade braver music*) and pick up a broom then blast down the door.

Well... maybe not, but you know you wanna see it happen :)

Grrrr. No one locks Tama-chan up and gets away with it.

I'm not sure who I want to see take revenge on the cheating highschool. Miya Miya might end up murdering someone... which would be amazing.

I like the idea about Tama going "blade braver" mode and busting the door down.


The sega saturn was hilarious as well.

The next episode should be great.

Yeah, she does have those Gin expressions.

From having a glance on THAT AnimeBlog, I know that Tama is going to kick ass next episode. Miya-Miya's scenes were great in this episode.

Honestly, as fast as tama is, im surprised she didnt just slip out of the closet before they could even close the doors and just be standing behind them. that woulda been pretty cool too. Poor miya miya keeps losing, if it werent for dan, she'd probably have killed several people already in this anime x.x; Personally if someone does come to save her from the closet of darkness (obviously a trap set up by death armor) I kind of hope it's yuuji instead of ishida, yuuji has really been feeling rather useless lately, almost seemed like he was gonna have a part when he was one of the reasons for satori wanting to join, before he flew out the window after she fought tama xD

Haha, yeah I agree completely. Although, I have a strong feeling that they're trying to make her seem overly intimidating, when in fact she's actually a good person, and it's all her damn fanclub's doing without her knowing of it.

So those two guys were from another manga? That whole scene after the eyecatch kind of threw me off there.

I hope everything goes alright with Kirino and her mom in the long run. She's always so upbeat I'd hate to see her any other way. I also want to see Miya Miya get a win next episode. She's overdue.

...even a saint needs a soldier to do the dirty work.

DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

The football and baseball guys bit was seriously the best comedy we got until now. Satori giving the crushed tea was probably the second one. Tama's opponent was really intimidating though, the first enemy kendoka on that level yet. The cliffhanger was also the first one actually captivating up to now. Overall this seems to be one of the best episodes we've had.

Hmm I wonder if the enemy commander is actually part of that sneaky trick to keep Tama out or if this has only been orchestrated by those three girls. Anyway, can't wait to see Tama or Miya crush them!

It's good that Kirino's mothers situation wasn't too serious.

Resorting to cheap tricks like that, lol. I wonder if Miya will step up and win a match now, in Tama's place, hmm.

We are finally in the tournament, and everything is going well-a group of senpai-simps lock Tama in a closet. Yep.
