| The match against Hojo High and the strongholds of Shuji Okazaki and Tetsuya Arimura, Yokohama Minato face an upward battle, with Matsuda being the first casualty to experiment on his madman playing styles. Needless to say, a loss is a loss, but to win this strong monster, Mizushima would have to try things differently and follow advices given. The matches that Okazaki can win are opponents distraught mentally, and Mizushima felt the crunch, though the game thereafter he won with his own tenacity and not following Okazaki's lead to eventually play against Yusa, which he is a different beast on his own. Okazaki is right when he mentions that Mizushima is a stranger to the world of badminton competition, and even until now, still hasn't got his mojo to face even his own team's strongholds with Yusa and Yokokawa. Time has stopped for Mizushima, and getting it back is a big hurdle. |

| It's not only that the pacing's absolutely atrocious, going from first round all the way to finals in less than an episode... It's also slideshows, and not only slideshows but simply narrating in a sentence or two what happens, telling instead of showing. I don't mind when sports anime focus more on the drama/slice-of-life aspects, but golly, there's ways to make it less painful and obnoxious. |
| I feel like Matsuda should have had that game against that loudmouth dummy. I guess they just needed him to lose so Ryo could have his big moment, which never really came because once he stopped getting psyched out he shaped up and crushed that dude. Kind of anticlimactic there. I don’t know how much raw enthusiasm or willpower compares to actual talent. That guy’s mental game was strong though, I’ll give him that. I think what everyone means by how Mizushima doesn’t know what it means to compete could be that he doesn’t have that “killer instinct” when he plays. Those other guys are putting everything on the line every match, I guess Mizushima is lacking that kind of intensity. |
| A good episode by this anime's standards placing believeable and huge hurdles in his path. Curious to see how it resolves itself. |

| yikes who said its good adding those cringe red and blue zone effect or whatever the hell was that meaning? not to mention seeing Ryo drastic change of mood, or whatever wind shit allegory mean, from zero to hero then out of the blue back to zero with good impression base kinda wore off me almost. although if i can think slightly rational about the show, its actually precisely understandable for this kind of mediocrity. but man, not just that bad, if i can be honest here.... |
 Hide and seek is the best offline games on this fatamorgana-called-world-thing. Please comment nicely. I am newbie here. I'm level  on mal-badges. View my badges  |
| and i thought Mizushima could now go toe-to-toe against Yusa but i guess not since Mizushima surely improved, of course Yusa would also improve that's why there's still a gap! 5/5. |
 |
| this episode was kinda boring not gonna lie at least the big guy was fun to watch with him going full energy on every move, but he went ahead and got tired cause of that exact playstyle lol |
favorite "new girls" from summer <3 ... click sig for older seasons and more possible picks (rip all the other choices) |
| well that ending was sad as hell. I love Mizushima so much 😭 I don't want to see him owned three times in one episode wtf even tearing up at the end?? ugh my heart |
  |
| He got a mental breakdown. It will be hard to be recovered. |

| And matsuda's "development" from the last episode meant absolutely nothing lmao. This anime really casts aside all other characters in favor of mizushima, which makes sense to some extent considering he's the mc, but here it's too much. It might be an issue with the pacing, but it's like his abilities came out of nowhere and he became an amazing player too fast, but now he's back to square one. Honestly I couldn't care less about him, he's incredibly bland and overhyped by the story |
