Well, it looks like a pro returns from a previous episode.

Dat Leonardo Silva. And he has something to test against Kakeru?!

Both Silva x Kakeru and flashback of Suguru x Silva one on one were enjoyable. Great episode.

Was nice seeing Suguru again.
Cannot believe Suguru was the top scorer of the tournament. Just as what you expect from a soccer ace.

And it was nice seeing Suguru-mode Kakeru battling it out with Silva.

Jesus I don't think I've watched a series that has taken itself as seriously as this one does. Kakeru's brother living in him, the mythical feint? What a load of crap. Not to mention that this is incredibly unrealistic when it comes to football. If you know your stuff about football, you'll soon find out that the makers of this anime never watched a fucking game in their life. This series is an absolute disgrace to football.

Go watch Giant Killing instead.

So many heart thumps. I think the episode was handled well. Mine is so into her heart theory and worst Leonardo Silva believes it too? If she would tone it down maybe but I just dont like how its affecting Kakeru and confusing him. The flashback Leonardo Silva was pretty nice, kind of wanted it to last more than this episode as that soccer scene was cool. Suguru needed to be around longer, he's great in these flashbacks and rather cooler than Kakeru.

Lol leonardo's voice kinda annoys me . Also man that girl is graceful :3. Hope Kakeru will snap out of his emo mood soon though. He is still thinking all he has done is thanks to Suguru..

I agree. That voice doesn't fit his character tbh.

I got a weird feeling that this might turn into a love triangle or something when she meets Kakeru after her match against Seven.

This anime turn me off I don't like the fact that everyone sees Kakeru as his brother maybe even seven sees him that way too!!

I think seven is in love with suguru i hate that, I also hate the fact that seven is a better soccer player than Kakeru that just pisses me off!!

I'm not watching this anime seriously anymore i skipped alot of episode and watched episode 17

I guess I will just wait for this anime to finish then watch the ending!!

This anime would be so much better if they just dropped the whole "your dead brother is possessing you through his heart" thing.

Neat idea. I didn't even think about that. They should have taken that route. Instead of killing him and following this chessy ass "spiritual possession" stuff.

Silva is annoying as hell. I hate his character, tbh. The story feels a bit forced, like it's trying too hard. The football games have still ceased to impress me. Boring tactics, and just boring football. I really want to enjoy this series because I love football, but this isn't cutting it.

I also don't like the fact that everyone is looking at the Suguru inside of Kakeru instead of Kakeru himself.

And also, Mai is pure <3. I like her more than Seven to be honest, appearance wise for now, her attitude seems pretty good too, for now.

The doctor just keeps getting more and more ridiculous. And it seems like she has a thing for Suguru, maybe that's why she wants to believe he's alive inside Kakeru.

Probably the best episode since the first few. This crisis of identity for Kakeru goes back to the heart of what separates Area no Kishi as a sports series. While I can see the case being made for his brother still living within him, I also agree with the coach's point that Kakeru can only be Kakeru.
