| That was a really great episode and HOW TOUKCHI TRICKED THEM ALL AT THE END.(you must see the caps in every damn new episode) |
 |
| Who knew that Akagi playing baseball would be so awesome? |
| The first round of Tokuchi vs. Token Black Guy, Roid Rage, and Takumi who is not from Trapnest goes to Tokuchi unsurprisingly, but things only get more interesting from here. If it wasn't for Michiko to Hatchin this would be my favorite show of the season at this point. |
| so awesome indeed |
  |
| It was a pretty good episode. It makes me mad that I'm watching it as it's subbed because I could ttly marathon this show. |
 |
| It's really a shame the show is spoiled a little by overnarration, but despite the simplicity compared to akagi and kaiji I'm still loving it. |
ChinesePanda said: This episode was meh imo. I like it more when its Toua who is absolutely destroying the other people psychologically. This episode was more of a "Im trying to figure out Toua" episode. I like it more when he hits people. |
| I really ADORE toua...to the max.. |
| go roid rage go! Wonder what new tricks Toua is going to be using for the next game its fun watching someone try to outwit him and see how it goes just having constant destroying without any chance of countering it is dull... Plus having ball control of that level is pretty awesome looking forward to next episode wonder how Takami will counter or try to counter Toua |

This episode was more of a "Im trying to figure out Toua" episode. I thought that this episode was the best by far, even though its just a transitional episode from the first to the second of 3 games that he's going to pitch. If he managed to shut down the 3 of the best batters of the league, then continues to impress in the next 2 games, wouldn't that make him all the more godly? |
    |
| Great episode. Althou, I thought Takami would become an instant rival for Toua, thats why I thought he would hit the 3 pitch. |

     |
| Theirs only so many types of fastballs he can throw after this. It should be interesting to see what they make up for the future games. |

| This game's psychology was okay, I guess. Although it does seem kind of impractical for a misjudged swing to happen to hit the ball every time. The third game, on the other hand... |

| I'm figuring Toua will have to deal with fatigue in the next couple of games, and I'm looking forward to how he's going to do it. |
Metro said: THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Loved it. Had fun with the big guy breaking all that bats lol. Haha I loved it too. I'm stunned at how Toua and Takami are so smart... |
| HEY! |

XD |

| Loved it, on to the next hour o.o |
 |
| wonder if he'll ever bother to learn a new throw that's not a fastball ;) |
| Jeez, how many bats did Brooklyn break? XD I'm loving this series so far. It's definitely more than just your average baseball show. |
 |
| Damn..all Fastball Tokichi threw is great, and how he used 3 of them is perfect..Love it |
 |
| Another awesome episode. Looks like the Brooklyn bat tactic still can't beat Toua. Obviously. |
| Great episode. Finally some kind of insight into Touas methods and also the first real challenge. Looking forward to more ! |
| I probably regret this post by now. |

Having 30 spare bats a game, he sure loves breaking them :P yakyuu-addict said: I'm figuring Toua will have to deal with fatigue in the next couple of games, and I'm looking forward to how he's going to do it. Same, he really put himself in a really tough situation. It's good to see that he had a trump card, I wonder how many more he has? |
| Nice episode so far.Look forward for more. |
    |
| I still don't get where the whole money aspect is going. The owner clearly lacks foresight if he thinks he won't make a lot more profit if he would simply support and hope that the team wins the championship. But instead, he's just thinking small and in the short term. Sigh. |
    |
| Toua vs Takami Round 1, winner Toua. Man this anime really makes managers look like idiots. |
 |
ChinesePanda said: This episode was meh imo. I like it more when its Toua who is absolutely destroying the other people psychologically. This episode was more of a "Im trying to figure out Toua" episode. Totally agree. I could care less about the opposing team. Takami was so busy trying to figure him out, he didn't even realize there were other methods to Toua's skill. The storytelling was a little bit of an overkill. |
 |
| They underestimated Toua once again! Haha. Well played. Props to Takami for trying. |
| Loved it! |
 |
| That gray card >:D |

| Im pretty sure its physically impossible for anyone to put enough backspin on the ball to actually make it rise. Anyway, nice ep. Good thing they won. |

| I want that guy to beat Toua next time, he is enough clever for it. |
 |
| It was so stressful to watch this episode, I was glued to the screen. |

 |
| Boy was that difficult to grasp. I still don't quite understand what the Mariners did to be able to hit Toua's pitches. Pretty good though Takami could have explained his plan A LOT better. 7/10 Sordan said: Toua's never seemed worried. He just manages to kick the other team's ass every single time. It would be interesting seeing another side to him.I want that guy to beat Toua next time, he is enough clever for it. |

| That Brooklyn fatass is annoying but Takami is awesome. Another mastermind? High spinning ball WTF awesome Nice salary |
| Toua should learn breaking balls . . . If he learned those he would really be unstoppable (in this anime that is), however guessing that "improving himself" is something he really does actually care too much for. |
 |
| wow having the ability to increase or decrease the spins of your fastball!? i'm getting more and more hooked to this anime! also, it was nice to see someone whose mind works the same way as toua's. i hope there are more episodes like this in the future |
 |
| Wow, Takami is smart, his idea was good and it worked for everyone but himself. I didn't think it'd be possible to increase or decrease to amount of spins on a fastball. But in the end Toua still was smarter than Takami. The mind games in this episode were great. |

| Toua outsmarted all of them. I think there will be again takami vs toua. |
