Heh, a dodgeball game featuring Anya's class and of course, Damian has to be there. Knowing someone with his pride, he's not going to hold back against anyone. RIP Damian's MVP this episode and, RIP Anya's shot. Maybe next time.

This was one of the most emotional based dodgeball games I've ever seen.

Straight up starting an episode with such elegance, ah couldn’t have asked for anything better. Also they say training is fun, and well why it couldn’t be when you have someone like Yor giving those lessons( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°).

Hey no way, just no way you can convince me mister Uncle-with-glasses too is a part of their class, like he’s looking like some 18 something for god sake. And yes this battle of dodgeball definitely triggered some flashbacks from what we had in Greed island back then lol. Still too bad Anya’s team couldn’t get past this big hurdle and lost.

Also just one chapter this time? Though they did go all-out animating this one.

WOW, the animation quality is something. GREAT EPISODE.

Meanwhile, according to the producers, this episode was produced by WIT STUDIO. The remaining episodes(ep 11, 12) appear to be produced by CloverWorks.
Normally, WIT is odd and Clover is even, but the production order has been changed only this time for dodge ball action quality.

Lol Mr. Elegance is jogging and respect the statue and it's legacy, also tea is truly an elegant drink than a cup of coffee, Mr. Elegance is spitting. The background music they used is so reminiscent of any elite school series, also the timetable shown is very deja vu looking too. Mama Yor is so good at sports and meditations while Anya, well she's working on it. Maybe a minor thing but I wish they could've zoomed out straight showing a line of two teams a bit more quicker but the whole dodgeball segment was really unexpected with the whole take on it's direction, Anya with her obvious telepathy can read someone's movement too easily so she can dodge but she can't even play dodgeball on her own, how awful for her and her teammates ig but anyways when Damian protects Anya from getting hit, that was cute. Also was this Wit adapting today's episode?
2 more episodes :(

Anya really went through a shounen training arc to prepare for the dodgeball match lol.

Bruh, Billy is 6 years old but looks like he has a family and a whole ass 9-5, dude built like part 3 Jotaro 💀

This was easily the best episode so far, they made the dodgeball match so extra and dramatic for no reason. This was hilarious af and I loved the exaggerated "attacks" throughout the game (also DBZ reference from Damian and his bootlicker friends? lmao)
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol.

Dude really just yelled "Die" in a dodgeball game

I know age in anime is usually a topic that usually brings some interesting discussions when comparing said age to how the character looks..but there is no way Billy is the same age as all the other kids.

This episode was pure shonen, training at sunset, a kid that looks like was fed with steroids, dramatic deaths, power enough to Becky feel.

An elegant episode, certainly.

For a moment, I thought Bill was Loid in disguise until it showed him training. Damian seems like a good kid after all. And as expected from Anya, she never lets us down.

What a pleasant and elegant opening scene to see the personification of elegance jogging on a bright Sunday(?) morning.

Is that the sport where you hit and bury your opponent with a ball?


I wonder if she's ever genuinely done that while carrying out a contract.

Just like all SPYxFAM episodes, the 23 minutes were over before I realized what was happening, I love these so much! Damian and Anya are getting on well with each other and they're adorable. The new kid, Bill surprised me with his very adult VA in a 6 year old body.

If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball!

That was the most intense dodgeball game I’ve seen in a long time. The training arc was even funnier, did Yor part a fucking sea with a ball lmao?

Bill is the biggest 3rd grader I’ve ever seen. r/hellofellowkids material. Too bad all that ended up being for nothing since no Stella lmao.

Damian saving anya was hype as hell for no reason lmao

The first minutes with Mr. Henderson was actually chapter 27.5 meanwhile the episode adapting chapter 15.

I hope this means all bonus chapters adapted as regular episodes not OVA.

Headmaster Henderson is still ELEGANCE, jogging around Eden College in his late age, swearing loyalty and with all that swag to cultivate children with good behaviour. And it all starts with the interclass dodgeball tournament...a chance to earn a Stella for being the MVP, even if it's a rumor.

And man, Yor trained Anya like her life depends on it. Love the anime-original content of Yor and Anya training ruthlessly, preparing for the actual day itself in school. And this in turn, reveals a bit of Damian's harsh family dynamic for his father to notice him.

Commence The Great Dodgeball Plan, and Anya and Damian's Class 3's Cecilia Hall against Class 4's Wald Hall, and they do have some strongholds like 6-year-old "Bazooka" Bill Watkins, whom is a serious military clad with utmost precision birth from his military family. Even with all of Damian's plans, it's still given that they'll be foiled, and Emile is a true MVP as a shield.

Of course, how would Bill mamage to outwit the Esper Anya, she embodies elegance. But at the lowest point, Anya about to gp down, and Damian literally going Super Saiyan to shield her, WHAT A CHAD. All that's left is Anya to hold Class 3's fortress, and her ultimate power that transcends the stars...fails LOLS.

But yeah, you earn a Tonitrus Bolt for shouting "Die", that's a thing. As for earning a Stella, try harder next time somewhere else...

Nice routine to start the day with. Looks like Damien's got a complex about his own place when compared to his esteemed bro. Yor got way to into training and forgot the most important thing being that Anya is still a kid. Still her training sure was extensive. For a elementary kid Bills looks way much older than his age would suggest. But Anya's skill proved to be the perfect counter to his immense strength. Though Anya's killer ability turned out to be a misfire that game was damm entertaining.

Funny how MAPPA animated a casual dodgeball game better, than what other studios did in some shounen fights LMAO (I won't point on anything, that's MAPPA for you)

Cool episode

Is it just me, or do people today enjoy seeing main characters lose rather than win? Has having your main character win and prove hard work and training pay off become too predictable and cliché and no one wants to see that anymore? Am I the only one on Earth that still wants to see my favorite characters win? If so, does that make me a bad person or something?

Some help me out.

Lmao I feel like I knew this episode would feature a dodgeball game from last weeks preview (or maybe I'm going crazy idk) but this blew my expectations away. The most over dramatic shounen bullshit ever but I loved every bit of how it played into the comedy and buildup. That absolute brick shithouse of a kindergartener is terrifying. And my god the hilarious buildup and failure of Anya's final throw. I really thought she was gonna do something awesome.
