| GOOOOOODDD The scenes of the puzzle pieces take the entire budget xd |

| Team Red vs Team White match is intense, like holy shit lol, everyone is evolving on a rapid speed, that's out of this world. Barou on the other hand still is behind and wanna be the "King" of the field, while Nagi & Isagi are both dominating the field on their own, that was incredible to see, Isagi being the mastermind obviously reads the whole room and counters the attacks. Barou being used as a decoy and Isagi even calling him an "Donkey" lmfao. It was 3-3 for a little while but the inner beast from Chigiri woke up and she scored again. Intense match so far and an incredible ep. |

| The Tri-Fusion of Team Red with Kunigami, Chigiri and Reo, Team White of Isagi, Nagi and Barou has a lot of groundwork to do. Barou's individual play already becomes a one-trick pony that can be defeated, and Isagi is the only tactical person who can link both Nagi and Barou together. With 1 goal given to them thanks to Isagi and Nagi, having that reaction with Barou will bring them further, if the hard-headed young man just heeds instruction against his ego to win. If he doesn't want to listen, there's the option to keep it with Nagi and give up completely on Barou, which isn't what Isagi would want to make this a reality. If Isagi cannot control Barou, then he has to devour him somehow. And his dribbling exacts the way that he's linking both Nagi and Barou from the blind spot straight to the goalpost, Isagi's given Barou a taste of his own medicine, to get him riled up to fit the play and both Nagi and Isagi to fill in the gaps of where they expect him to be, earning another goal to level 3-3, the score that Chigiri upped one to make it match point. Great match. |

| Lmaoooo get OWNED "Baron" I stand by my words: I don't care how good of a player he is, if he can't work in a team- gtfo. This episode illustrates my point exactly At this point I want Team White to lose so Isagi could get picked. |

| 3/5 Fairly decent episode this one. There were few goofy visual illustrations here & there but the animation was fairly consistent Chigiri and Kunigami are actually rolling and never would I've pegged them for being this formidable. Rio had his moments too but Barou has been abysmal. His inability to work with Isagi & Nagi came as a shocker after last week's bonding episode but I guess their bonding was never tested in a real match yet. Also, love the diconmy between between both teams. One is composed & the other one in shambles. Barou's absolutely loosing it and Isagi feels bad for him but I have to commend him for doing his own thing instead of just lunging for Barou constantly. Also, "How can I form a chemical reaction with Barou? I'm going to devour Barou!!"...OKAY THEN Isagi. Do what you like fam xD. Some CGI scenes looked clean but there was one in particular that was completely jarring. Some still shots action sequences were cringe but ive seen worst. Isagi & Nagi are ruling the field rn with their impeccable understanding leaving Barou for himself. I'm really hoping for a Barou redemption here. It's predictable but the whole story to this point has been pretty predictable and has fallen into that classic anime trope of Show & Tell What will the lads do? Can't wait!! Oh, and also.. Another team has formed apparently. That loud mouth scum with the oddball silver hair dude and the annoying older twin. A good match up...I guess?? |

| Barou's so hot when he's humiliated like that UwU |
 |
WOO SPORTS ANIME GO HARD  |
| Question to those that watch soccer/futbol Was the hit Isagi took legal? I didn't know the game could get rough like that. Kunigami looked like he was playing rugby. Barou was beyond annoying. I guess he'll have an epiphany next week or they lose. TBH I want Isagi's team to lose. Then I want Reo to quit or get injured so Nagi, Isagi, Ojo, and Kuni become a team. Did one of the skulls Isagi saw onBarou's path look like Kuon to anyone else? I was happy to see Gugu-chan and Jingo. I was wondering where they were. |

rirururu said: anime_on_demand said: What's neat is that if you really reflect on it, it's been hinted at that Barou is super weak from the very beginning. Other than that game he won against Team Z at the beginning of the first selection, his team actually lost every single game. Then he lost the 3v3 in the second selection just to lose the 2v2 immediately after. The man is on a losing streak and it's not a matter of the author writing him inconsistently. He's just genuinely awful in a team. I love little hints like that.Omg bro this show is killing me. Every week I wonder if it'll drop off, but it stays 10/10!! First of all, Barou has never seemed so weak... My goodness. He's completely different to when we first met him. We thought he was unstoppable. Now he's getting easily shutdown by Kunigami and Reo. It is interesting to see that he's frustrated with himself though. Nagi is so damn cool bro. He's definitely one of my favourite characters. Every time he's on screen is hype. But ISAGI. My goodness. I love when he enters this badass, dominating version of himself. When he said "I've got to... devour Barou" bruh hype. And his goal oml. Loving this. "I'm saying don't get in our way... you donkey" (!!!) My man just called Barou a donkey XD Also Chigiri evolving at the end was awesome too. I find myself cheering when either team scores tbh. Not to mention the hype OSTs!! And omg Isagi smiling at the end. I can't say enough about this ep. (also cool to see Raichi's new team. they look pretty good) Thank you! I thought I was the only one seeing Barou's weakness. He's only strong if all obstacles are out of his way. He's got big fish little pond syndrome. Now that Barou's in deep water with the sharks and getting devoured bit by bit, he's realizing he was only King of Guppies. If he doesn't change, he'll never see Ren's team (The great whites). Barou has a strong body and a weak mind just like a donkey. |
| Yoichi "improvise, adapt, overcome" Isagi. But man, how much I wish they could take another additional player to replace clown Barou. Chigiri is a must but if Kunigami manages to reach his own awakening, he could easily surpass this so-called "king". dragynfaerie said: Totally valid. Kunigami went for the ball and won the position while taking advantage of Isagi's inattention.Question to those that watch soccer/futbol Was the hit Isagi took legal? I didn't know the game could get rough like that. Kunigami looked like he was playing rugby. That said, Isagi could have feigned a foul but guess that's not his style. Not to mention I have no idea how referees work in this anime. |
| Another fantastical episode for me with some tense moments adding on that! |
 |
| Bruh wtf is up with Nagi lmao? No matter how bad their matchup is, he still manages to pull off some kinda crazy aerial yoga pose and score a goal for his team. I'm sorry but the 'devour Barou' at first sounded like he wanted to eat Barou out 💀💀💀 Isagi was on demon time today. Bro was manipulating everyone with his seemingly normal plays. That's why he's the GOAT. The GOAT. Barou has literally been reduced to a decoy for his team in this match. He either has to cooperate with them or act as support for Isagi and Nagi's goals. Chigiri eveolved in the end. Props to him for cutting through both Nagi and Barou with his fast dribble. So hyped for the next episode Raichi, Wanima, and Gin teamed up huh? I wonder if the rest of Team Z was even able to pass the first stage of the 2nd selection. |
 ◑ ━━━━━ ▣ ━━━━━ ◐ "Everything I've witnessed... This whole system you have built has always rejected me. Now I'm ready to reject it. That's why I destroy. That's why I took this power for myself.

| 17 episodes and still nothing notable has happened... Why am i still watching this? The animation is awful and the story telling is all over the place. |
| Wanima actually talked for a decent amount of time for once lol. Well this show is quite repetitive with what happens, I wonder how they'll wrap the show up in the next few episodes. |
 |
| I’ve been waiting to see this scene animated. Let’s go! |
 |
| Hype Baruo is a donkey |
The animations keep getting worse, they only thing carrying it is the key frames which are good, none of the goals fully animated either, this was a very good match on the manga so I had expected more… |
| I'm loving Isagi every episode <3 |
  |
| Yeah the match is sure tense, it's good to see that Barou - Isagi rivalry within the team |
 |
| What a great match and episode! Assuming Isagi's team wins who would they pick? I lean towards Chigiri but Reo may work too (assuming he's over Nagi teaming up with Isagi). And if Chigiri's team wins I believe they had already thought of picking Nagi so because of that I think Isagi's team will end up winning with Barou probably having a paradigm shift. Looking forward to watching the next episode and how this match ends! |
| god damn man that was exciting as hell, isagi is butchering them with nagi and he called barou a donkey!! :0 can't wait for next episode |
 |
| very close fight! i doubt next ep! they'll score 4-4 for a tie breaker! 5/5 |
 |
| Isagi giving us a lesson on how his new ability work, not onlyhe can see where everyone is looking, but he also has 10 possible plays in mind, all in less than1 second lol not even Xavi can beat him now he had the perfect play in mind, he passed to histeam mate, then went past the opponent and waited for a pass ... but he forgot who is his team mate LOL and with that, opponent team scored a second goal... if this was real, i'd say the match was over lol pfffffft the way they made it visual, passing to Barou is death, genius meanwhile, with Nagi, there's hundreds of ways he could score with a pass and we see it right away, with the way Nagi did some strange jump and sent the ball to the opposite side of Chigiri, scoring an easy goal meanwhile Isagi tried to talk things with Barou, if only he could pass the ball back, that would also allow him to score more goals himself, the way he plays now he just loses every ball he has meanwhile Barou saying how frustrated he is with himself for not being able to win, but at the same time he has no intention of changing his own gameplay, he'd ratherdie than passing the ball lol Reo as usual, isn't happy with the fact that Nagi can do ricks with Isagi, he wanted to be the only one to do that with him Reo says h has no weapon, but he isg enough with just his passing skills and how he manages to make use of others lol i like how Chigiri talked to Nagi "i'm not like your king, i can pass the ball"... and then they scored another goal right away there we go again, Isagi and his puzzle pieces are already getting old lol making use of Barou skills aren't enough... playing 2v3 is also not going to work ... so he has to...devour Barou? what? oh i see now lol nice play, making people chase Barou like you're gonna pass to him, then pass it to Nagi and go behind the blind spot, and Nagi passed to him there everyone is going crazy over that play, and ofc Barou is mad for being used lol i like how Isagi used Barou own words agains't him, i like to do the same sometimes "don't get in my way, you donkey" HAHAHAHAHA Barou after getting pissed started playing more agressive, but we all knew what would happen, even tho he won the ball, he wouldlose it right away... and so did Isagi know it, and positioned himself to catch that lost ball, lmao good job King... and with that, a pass to Nagi, and 3-3 is done, yay they caught up next, Chigiri understand his own weakness, the moment he controls the ball, that usually slows him down, now he just touches the ball forward without stopping it, and not even Barou can scare him, and so he scores the 4-3, oh no the king who is getting burried will never be the gratest striker the after credits tho, everyone has the same reaction when the brother suddenly talks lol well, there's not much choice anyway, so the 3 will team up |
favorite "new girls" from summer <3 ... click sig for older seasons and more possible picks (rip all the other choices) |
| That part with Raichi was funny |
| Isagi is so cool!! Seeing Barou getting taken down a peg is so satisfying. |
| So good to see Barou frustrated. Time to improve yourself dude. |
 |
| Barou deserved that tbh. With his kind of logic, the team will surely lose. He needs to face the reality. |
