^Biggest tl;dr tsubasalover lolsummary ever

Doesn't this episode make everyone love Kurumi more? She has totally legit reasons for her actions. I don't know, there's just something about her that makes her shine and make me love her that much more. For the first time, I think Sadako's obliviousness got on my nerves.

lol, Ryuu still can't get the name right.
Kazehaya wasn't able to save Sadako, don't you guys think Ryuu is more fit for her?

Okay, lets count how many posts say that Kurumi got pwned.

(The expression on her face is priceless)

Also, I for one am happy this didn't take the predicable route and made Sawako help Kurumi because she is a good, nice, selfless etc.. girl.

I know Kurumi has two personalities but i cant hate her ,i love her voice and shes so cute....and shes funny and very frank about herself.

So Kazehaya seemed a little jealous of Ryuu ....

The whole Ryuu factor might get interesting....i want to watch more:(

Kurumi actually isn't as bad as I thought she might be....she's just really really jealous. Even if Sawako falls for Kurumi's plan and it starts to work....i'm sure Ayane will do something about. It's nice that someone else knows about the situation.

That was a really slow episode and holy freak, the animation quality drop was really noticeable. Did anyone else see how choppy some of the scenes are? I like the music at the end when Kurumi tried pushing the thought of getting with Ryuu into Sawako's head. That was fun and scary music. Too bad for her, Ryuu already has someone.

Also, no, that was not a reference. Kurumi will be using the "Your name is now in my Ume notebook" throughout to indicate she hates someone. I hope the Kurumi arc will only last for another 2-3 episodes.

Loved episode again. More elements of interest....Kurumi shows more her bad side and manipulation for me to note down. Interesting drama on TV going on that Sawako watches, I was more into the warmth of her family...they are so nice. Yoshida's red shirt...nice shirt. High fives were good but I think the one of Kazehaya counted more than anything and it was the first (so the notion is out=> "Let's all be like Kazehaya to be cool" thing).Of course the shoe incident on Kurumi is to me Sawako bad luck coming to you Kurumi! Muhahah! It satisfying let's say. Was very impressive that Ryuu remembered Sawako's name and saved her from the ball that would bruise a lot her face. That was quite a nice scene but also smell Kurumi's scandal plan coming up. Also still very good scenes exchange of Sawako x Kazehaya eyes and smile (keep it up!). Most likely this was the most intense of the parts...Ryuu saving Sawako's face from destruction and pain. Soccer game...great! Sawako becomes the Flashgirl and is so fast I had pause. I really had to pause it with this result=>
Yoshida can make ball kicks that can burn through the net (it looked a lot like it is what I meant). It looks better here with smoked coming out?
I would have to say this a good example of Yoshida's close and warm frienship with Ryuu, she plays and jokes with him. They are meant for each other and Kurumi will not stop that, I am hoping.
Is it just me or Yano looks better in this pose than normally when she appears here and there in the episode.....

Hey there Linalee-Stratos friend! Based on you quote are we going into the arc of "Kurumi tries to separate Sawako x Kazehaya so that she can take advantage of it?" thing.....Kazehaya looked to lose his manhood.....his expression did not look good, lost of confidence? I refer to this part of him

I personally found Sawako's honesty to herself when telling Kurumi that she could not support her to be the best part of this episode. I am also amused at how people have sarcastically warmed to Kurumi when I'm finally starting to come around and dislike her scheming. I'm actually getting really board with this Kurumi arch. I hope Kazehaya owns up to his feelings and kisses Sawako right in front of Kurumi and Ryuu next episode. Let the epic love story continue please!

I have to admit, that I do like Kurumi more after this episode. Her fake "nice girl"-image was annoying. So I'm actually happy to see her true self.

Ryuu trying to remember Sawako's name and Sawako thinking, that someone is standing behind Kurumi talking were the funniest parts of the epsiode.

It's interesting watching Aya play the bad guy =P, makes it hard to hate the character.

Quite a good episode, didn't expect Sawako to react that way - I thought she would've dragged on the episodes to "realise" her feelings.

Even though Kurumi is a little annoying, this time she's right, I know she doesn't doing that for Sawako's sake but Sawako needs to understand where she's standing...
Maybe she really thinks he's special because he helps her? (I know it's really not just becasue of that, It's a shoujo after all.) But she really needs to talk to more guys and see if it's the same with other guys too.
If it was in the reality, then she might get hurt in the end beacuse she didn't understand her emotion properly.

Sawako's kindness towards Kurumi blew me away.
She's seriously overflowing with kindness!

I thought Kazehaya's reaction towards Ryuu's attempt to say Sawako's full name was strange since I don't see anything particularly special between the two of them. Maybe because Kazehaya believes that he's the only one who can call her by her full name.
Also, I don't think it's even possible for Ryuu to be that interested in Sawako because he already has Chizu (the better match!) and he has trouble remembering Sawako's name anyways.
So Kurumi's request will definitely end up in fail despite Ryuu's amazing save.

I felt a little bad for Sawako because she actually gave into one of Kurumi's arguments.
Now she has a Kazehaya isn't that special anymore mentality. He IS special! I'm sure Sawako will eventually wake up to that again because she has every reason in the world to fall in love with him.

I like how Sawako's and Kurumi's 'friendship' is progressing. Wonder how that will turn out.

The football match was again very realistic with the keeper jumping away from the ball when Yoshida scores (that goal reminded me of Captain Tsubasa).

I think Ryuu is just the cool gentleman he is and does not have feelings of any sort for Sawako, like Kurumi implies.

Yes you have got that right my friend..:) , Kurumi is definitely trying to put the idea of "SawakoXRyuu are perfect" into Sawakos head , so that she gives up Kazehaya and kurumi can have him for herself. Kurumi has been doing these sort of things from quiet awhile as shown by the flashbacks of her middle school.

After that Sanada SAVED Sawako from disastrous incident of baseball....That Kazehaya's face worth million ^^
Can Ume Kurumizawa succesfully make Sawako to have relationship with Sanada?(despite of so much failure)

I was having the same thought after watching this episode. I like the little quiver of menace in her voice when she's being "threatening." Reminds me of when Haruhi is being sadistic. Oh wait, that's all the time.

Ahahaha, the shoe on Kurumi's head! She got what she deserves. Rofl, "Ume-chan". Sawako is really good in understanding the things wrong... Sawako leaves afterimages, hah. Seems like Sawako is gaining some popularity. The signs are set for Ryu x Sawako, but that's only in Kurumi's opinion so she can get Kazehaya. Forget it, bitch.

I really loved this episode because it surprised me. Both Sawako and Kurumi were shockingly honest about each other, and I loved that. As a side effect, my positive feelings toward her have skyrocketed. That said, I definitely wasn't surprised with now bringing Ryu (and Yoshsida, by proxy) into the web of love via Kurumi's scheming. I wondered about how it would happen, but this way is definitely the best and it doesn't seem like anything crazily out of character will happen. I expect two episodes at the most to breeze through things since everyone is so refreshingly up front about their feelings. It's enough time for people who need melodrama to be satiated, but more importantly for me, I think a lot of comedy gold it to be had with a conversation between the two.

Awesome ep. kurumi starting to be herself at least around sawako, and it was hilarious watching ryuu trying to remember sawako's name, along with her shunpo.
Apart from that i liked the fact that sawako declined to help kurumi, at least somewhat understands her own feelings, even though not completely . SawakoxRyuu would be funny I could imagine him calling her the wrong name while they're dating lqtm.

The introduction of this episode was so anti-climactic and well done I was speechless. Seriously, it was just great. Then, I didn't think about that in the beginning, but the relationship between Sawako and Ami Kawash... huh I mean Kurumi, has really developped well and is now much more complex that what I believed it would be. It's becoming extremely interesting and emotionally-involving thanks to that, and the last developments with Sanada are looking great for potential script developments. Aya Hirano as Kurumi is seriously pissing me off though.

Nothing too special to write about this episode apart from the Kurumi and Sawako relationship. Oh yes, we got to have very nice Captain Tsubasa references in the second part and that was kinda cool. Anyway, this episode was as good as the previous 10 and KnT is still by far the best shoujo out there, and without a doubt the best released in 2009.

In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same.
