While this episode was slow paced while usual, it had some character development. Haruki and his family problems though. Pretty sure at this point, I think the show is aiming for a final performance. The brief flashbacks this episode wasn't very pleasant. Seriously though, with all the support they're getting, I really hope Breakers make a break through in the upcoming competitions.

Ay Sho x Sakura is definitely nice to watch

Hope Haru can get things straight with onee-chan soon, it's depressing and frustrating to watch for me even though I wouldn't be doing any better than him

Sorta sad that they skipped out on the performance, but I hope that they have a spectacular animated performance on the final ep at least

Oh and Haru be gettin' a girlfriend soon

I really dislike how they didn't show the performance. I know it was just the qualifiers and maybe they want to save the big performance for the actual nationals... but they built up a pretty decent amount of suspense for the qualifiers and then literally don't show even one bit of the performance. Seriously made me drop the score from a 7 to a 6.

I was really disappointed at first too, but at the same time, they had too much character development/ side-plots to deal with and obviously wanted to clear things up before the end. Also, Haru apparently messed up, and I think they didn't want us to get upset having all of this buildup just to see Haru fail and be a hindrance to the team. Honestly, they should have shown it, but sadly this will only be a 12 episode anime...it could use a few more episodes to show performances/practice/those other new characters we now almost nothing about

Am I the only one curious about that injury Sakura had? I think it's been a good 2-3 years practically. It must've been surprisingly serious for her to still be in rehab/physical therapy

Yanno, for a show about cheerleading it might've been nice to actually have seen that routine...

I totally understand that they wanted to save room for other things. I mean, I didn't dislike the Sho and Sakura backstory that they highlighted in the episode; I thought it was pretty interesting. But, I would've liked to see even a bit of the performance. And I'm actually personally really curious as to how exactly Haru messed up. I don't think showing it would've "disappointed" me; I think I'd be less disappointed with this episode if they had shown it.
I wouldn't mind a few more episodes either, so more things can be shown and tied into the anime.

Great characters development especially for Sho. Sho x Sakura relationship is nice to watch.
Little disappointed that they didn't show the performance, but I don't mind if the final is epic.

I wonder how Haru can getting along again with his sister, she didn't let him talk.

If Shou and Sakura end up together, please buy Shou's clothes from now on 'cause what he was wearing was so .....0.o
I bet if Haru and the Breakers did their stunts to cheer Haruko on, she'll finally get out of her losing streak drama.
With two eps left, most likely we'll see a "complete" performance and it will be awesome!

Really not a fan of Haruka... the way she's acted since the start always bothered me. She barely talks to Haru anymore every since he quit Judo and she's acting like it's the worst thing in the world that her brother found something else he wants to do. I mean, it's his life and he's in college, let him do what he wants! And now the way she's acting with the "losing streak" she's in (which I assume is because Haru isn't there to cheer her on anymore; and if so that's also really lame) is affecting Haru which is making annoyed with her even more. Bah!

What's the tittle of episode 10??
To national?? No
is called "what I wanted to tell you". Which focus on the coach and Domino for once. Explaining that sakura back injury is cause by him. Also, if you pay attention they just focus on the basic of cheerleading and cheerleader. So am I surprise that they decided to cut it out??
No, not really. Also, Haru mess up his flip and stunts. I don't want to see my boy mess his move up

Domoto knew him calling Sho's team a circus was what caused Sakura to be injured so severely that she had to quit cheerleading, yet he went to Sho's new team just to tell him the exact same thing. There's a circus alright and Domoto is the clown.

He's not nearly as bad as Haru's sister though. She's easily the worst and most unlikable character in this entire show. I know that she's not meant to come off this way but I just see her as heavily spoiled and entitled. She's whining that her brother isn't there to cheer her on anymore and that she's not winning without once being happy that he's found something to do that he really loves. She's been doing nothing guilt tripping him and refusing to talk to him this entire series. I'm sorry but when you put her attitude next to an episode like Kaz losing his entire family and wanting to do cheerleading so his grandmother can remember him, it makes Haruka look really bad.

I'm disappointed that they skipped the performance. Every time the boys perform, it's either skipped or is just a bunch of still shots. I hope that the nationals are better. At this point this feels more like a drama anime where the characters happen to be in a cheer team-- which is fine I guess but the cheerleading aspect was just so unique and strong in the first few episodes. That was what drew me in to watch and continue watching. I can find about 500 other drama anime.
