Agreed. Especially when he was the one to get Tsubaki's ball. He is such a odd or creepy guy yet innocent you feel guilty for thinking that way.

I am glad we reached half time. I really love when the antagonists get their way but surprisingly i am sick of ETU getting owned. Really could use that comeback.

Tsubaki's match huh? Well Kubota and Tsubaki are pretty much the same thing... Yet Tsubaki has to discover that... or better said, push that trigger and prompt that ability of his... His upwide view of the field and his amazing skills of passing... and always reaching the ball... whatever it is, it's interesting to know just a lil' bit more of ETU's enemies... and seeing such guy like Kubota getting attention makes me really happy since it's interesting to know that he was a Defensive Midfielder as Murakoshi is, just as Tsubaki more or less is, and Dulfer just have the good luck of discovering Kubota's real abilities... SO then Kubota doesn't have a high Stamina huh? Then he has a weak point... nice... I hope Sugie can take a chance about that... make him extra tired... that would work... like puching him to the sides... that would be awesome.. so then Kubota would get tired... that must work...

Kuroda vs Hauer seems solved since Kuroda already got a hang of Hauer's abilities... Kiyokawa vs Katayama is awfully unbalanced... such is the other guy vs ETU's 22... Too bad Sugie missed Kubota for a while... that's pretty much why Kubota scored... fruck... And really... I was so pissed when Kubota scored... I screamed and hit my head hard with my closed fists!!! Gaaaah... Kubota... you bastard

Oh and Katayama's chance was so near... Awesomely, Dori managed to stop that pass and take it!! Oh man I was so scared and my heart pumped hard when Kubota sent that pass... Dammit.. I wish I were part of the game...

Oh and about Gino... Is he alright? Or is all an act? Dunno... hard to tell... But I do love his appearances and his uneasy passes... Plus the thing he said was awesome hahaha

Really want to know if ETU can win this game.

I don't like Kubota and the Osaka team's coach (and his annoying assistant) >__<
so hope that Tatsumi will have awesome plan to defeat the Osaka team during the second half of the game!

Gino's passes are long because he wants to exploit Tsubaki's speed and stamina.Things,that Kubota doesn't have(his manager said so).
But Tsubaki doesn't reach the balls because he has national players in front of him...who will run out of stamina sooner or later.

It's been bugging at me that Kubota and Tsubaki are alike.

I hope ETU gets to do something cool next episode.

Kubota is a weirdo. Wish that weirdo was playing for ETU. It would be nice to see Tsubaki to play as free and enjoy the game as much as Kubota does. He'd be playing much better with that mindset. I'd love it even more if Sugie can figure it out.

Giant Killing is a really average show when it comes to the actual play. Let's hope the match won't drag for too long.

So Kubota already show his true ability and talent.

Tatsumi now knows how to counter it. Looking forward to the next one.

kubota seems like a really big ace for the overall offensive strategy, but tatsumi will find a way around that

Dulfer has the upper hand so far over Tatsumi's ETU, what the hell was that training program fo TATSUMI?!

Seems nothing is working for ETU and prince's miscues aren't helping at all, they better come up with a decent strategy for the second half.

All I've got to say is that Kubo would not be as insecure as he is, if he were in real life. Somebody as talented and popular as him would actually have much more confidence and would probably be much more talkative.

The shape of Kubota's mouth gets on my nerves everytime he laughs. And I still believe that they can turn the tables of this match on the second half. Go Tsubaki!

ETU down by 2 goals. If they plan on winning this game then they must somehow overwhelm Osaka. It's going to be a hard thing to do.

Kubota is even more annoying than Natsu.

they actually could defence well unless the mangaka had to write kobuta, i mean, let's create a series about him with all the episode concentrate about him.

the way i see it however, the mangaka going to destroy his own best character here...

Kobuta looks like Tsubaki, the characters design in this show lack imagination.

The first half was interesting, I wonder if ETU can win this time. Doesn't seem easy this time.
