It's nice to see the guys outside of the games. Being acknowledged for their hard work feels like a special moment if you ask me.

Eijun and his team has a bright future if they can keep their momentum. Lol, Eijun's reactions this episode were gold.

Haruichi finally got his haircut!

We got some cool introductions in this episode. Yuki suddenly running off was hilarious.

Poor Asada is going to struggle dealing with his new roommates lol

Secret third brother Haruhiko! haha, I love that scene.

Good to finally see new first-years, especially Okumura and Seto. Pretty excited for the new team's dynamics.

I loved:
- Eijun narrates/reminiscent his own scenes
- Wakana/Girl manager squad scenes
- Harucchi scenes were omg perfect!
- Sawamura naming Harucchi an third Kominato brother Haruhiko-kun made me laugh even that I know this will happen because I read manga but when he screamed about Ryo-san I cried hard haha
- Kanemaru reactions in class were cool
- Wolfboy arrives!
- poor Asada :D
- Kataoka speech... whoa! I've got goosebumps, voice actor again did great job

Cool to see some new faces in Seidou, some others were already seen in Act I.

So hyped for the restart.

Great episode, loved it.

Haruchi getting a haircut and everyone being stunned about it especially Sawamura was hilarious. xD

The new first years seem like an interesting bunch.

The final scene where Kataoka gets everyone riled up was awesome.
Hyped to see the summer matches and tournaments.

Still can't get over Harucchi's haircut, lol. He really went from a good boy to seemingly a harsh boy XD More like his brother Ryouichi now. Though of course, who wouldn't be annoyed at someone like Eijun making huge deal out of the haircut :P

Finally, the first years have arrived! Kataoka is really amazing, he must've thought out just exactly what he would say to lit the fire in not only the first years, but the second and third years! Poor Asada getting scared. He really thinks his high school life is already over. Koushuu and Yui both really hit the jack pot, one with the best catcher and captain of the team, the other with the ace. Super excited to see the new team!

Lol it's excacly opposite to be honest with those first years :D it will be all harder for them because of "pairings" in rooms. But it gives a show new dynamic and creates cool relationships and friendships ah and of course rivalries.

Haruichi became even more cuter after that haircut. He is a legit trap now. Also wolfboy arrives!

Hongo is just undefeatable! No wonder even one of Seido's girl begin to like him! I've to restraint myself not to talk about him too much but I could lick him from head to toe.

Tetsu's younger brother is the new monster. Too bad he's not living in a dorm so I might miss his bathing scene. I don't read the manga but I bet he'll move into the dorm at some point after realizing that high school baseball is not just a stepping stone to major league and he has to be 100% serious in Seido (like his older brother).

Yui, captain of world series team, is like protagonist from another baseball anime that step into Ace of Diamond's universe LOL

Also, I don't know who's the wolf guy everyone's talking about but I think it's the one who share the same room as captain Miyuki?

you guessed it right Kōshū Okumura is wolf boy, you will hear this "nickname" very soon :D

As it goes for Masashi you got him wrong, he is very serious about baseball :) all about training.

Sawamura's reaction to Haruichi's haircut was so annoying and funny. I guess he is going to be unstoppable now that he will be able to see the balls coming. lol I'm glad Miyuki made this comment, but the poor guy can't even cut his hair without becoming the center of attention. xD

And the new faces are here. Kaoru seems precious, and he also seems to admire Furuya. His presence seems to be annoying/unexpected to Okumura, and I don't know why, since I don't even know him yet, but I don't really like him. Miyuki seemed pleased with his glaring though. Well, the catcher position is certainly coveted this year. Yuuki's brother seems to be a bit full of himself, or at least that was the impression I got for now, but I don't dislike him. And that Seto might be a good character too, but right now he somehow feels like Okumura's sidekick and nothing else. Then there's the cunning one, who I don't really see getting far, but who knows, and the poor guy who wants to be a pitcher and was Kuramochi and Sawamura's victim this time.

Well, Yakushi unfortunately lost too, but their game with Inashiro is coming up. Hongou won the whole thing again, and I guess that's it. Much to look forward to.

Yeah finally Haruichi's haircut! His face turn red when everyone see it, so cute :3 And love Sawamura's reaction especially with the third brother haha x)


New characters here, I wasn't excited when they changed the team in the second season but this time, I feel different or it's just my biased reason to maybe like them. Kaoru and Okumura are in the visual and the ending so I think they will have more importance than the other new members...

Interesting first years. So it looks like we will have 2 prodigies in the catcher position, gosh it will be hard to watch after seeing the ace spot being fought over.

Well yeah me too but as far as I remember there is game against Eigen soon but at this point what I do like to see most is how they adapt Sawamura - Wolf Boy relationship

Well... it isn't like that in pro-clubs.

Boston Red Sox - MLB champions from 2018 have 25 registered "active" first team players + 13 registered players on "inactive" list.

So it's less than in Seido Team A + Seido Team B + all reserves/weaker players. It's just normal that in big school you will have many kids from different years from different classes so total number of them will be huge.

In comparison in real football (soccer if you are from JPN or USA) there are teams like Chelsea London that have 25 players in 1st team + 25 players in U-23 team + many more teams like U-21, U-18 ect.
Also there are pro players loaned to other clubs, sometimes they have like 50-60 loaned players because they don't need them on current time period.

Haruichi has become a true bishounen, but I'll miss his hentai protagonist hairstyle.
Excited to see all those first-years although not sure on Okumura and Yui being a catcher as that position is almost never switched during a match especially since we got genius Miyuki.

Oh my gosh I’m happy the Haruichi cut his hair. He starting to develop his brother’s personality lmao.

The first years are here. The first years already have rivalry, we got two new catchers. Now it’s not the pitches, now it’s the catchers.

The introduction of the first years are giving me flashbacks of Eijun being late and Miyuki betraying him lmao. I know the first year who is assigned to Eijun and Kuramochi is going to suffer lmao. Bruh, they put two catchers in the same room, that’s one way to stir drama.
