This episode/show feels really human. Between the emergency baby delivery and the baseball drama going on, it was really emotiona.l

Itsuki Roppa is a strong new season opening character. Not only he save Bonda but also save this show.

Love Itsuki. He seems to have his priorities sorted. A great role model for all of you aspiring pro athletes :)

I'm glad Itsuki's kid came out alright, I kinda was invested in his story. I loved how he only thought about his kid during the game, and asking that cellphone during his interview was priceless.

Wasn't the Tempters the team his secret love was rooting for?

Probably the best episode of the whole series (both seasons) to me.

I like him too, but his arc could as well end here. He's already been central to the show for an unusual amount of episodes, in my opinion.

I really do love this series, it kills me that its not getting the love it deserves from many.

This was another great episode, was gutted that Itsuki missed the birth of his kid but hey it was all good in the end.

lol Bonda messed-up in that game and he now feels conflicted!
but good thing Itsuki has redeemed himself and Spiders win because of his home run!
Nice Hiroshi was born and Isuki's extreme worry has paid off!
5/5.

The episodes revolving around Itsuki were really the most engaging ones so far.


Glad that the could overcome his little slump and that his wife has born a healthy son.

Definitely enjoyed this Itsuki arc to start the season with, if I’m not mistaken this is the first multi episode spanning story for the show too so it was fun for that reason as well. I really felt bad for Itsuki having to play that game and his in-laws ignoring his calls after they said his son wasn’t breathing and he was “likely” to be okay, but what I did love about that was the contrast to how Itsuki played versus Bonda thanks to him not being focused on the game and not feeling the same pressure as Bonda, I found that really interesting, and Bonda‘s reactions sure were great lol.

And it’s nice to see Hiroshi was born with no issues and Itsuki’s wife is fine, Itsuki and Bonda hugging and crying was a good bit to end on lol. Season 2 is shaping up to be a bit better than the first so far, I have nothing against a new story every episode but I felt this consistent story was more engaging in this instance.
