| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- The Noukin team is on guard against the Souwa High team with a 8-point difference...that is once team captain Masato enters the play, and the sparring between Masato and Souwa's ace raider Takaya ensues to close the gap. The strategist Iura knows it all too well, and is trying to limit the Noukin raiding to just Yoigoshi to spare Masato the blood, sweat and tears. Don't ever undermine his "jack of all trades, master of none" ability to wreck out of difficult situations, the Burning sensation of Kabaddi has sent the ace raider out to increase the Noukin team's chances of victory. It's only up to Rokugen to set the pace further in the last 52 seconds, and a chance to steal the Struggles from Date and Misumi, and even with strategic teamwork from the entire Noukin team to stop Rokugen in his tracks, the struggle of victory has shined on Souwa High with Noukin losing 31-32, a meagre point behind with the loss of time. Pretty interesting that Rokugen is the one whom like Yoigoshi is a complete amateur when he first started, and his spars with the agile Masato and thinker Iura pretty much shaped each's experience. Hope this ensues a new journey for the Noukin Kabaddi team even with a loss, and already looking forward to the future like Yoigoshi. |

| The match is still on and Ojo is still a scary beast in the field of Kabaddi. Ren might be the ace of the team but he's too inexperienced to know that he's going against a player whose whole life is devoted to this sport. It's not the battle between two aces but the battle between 'The Experienced One' and 'The Enthusiast One'. Yoigoshi was entrusted by the captain to take out Takaya from the game and he nailed it. Even having a chain in front of him, he used the 'Frog Jump' to get over it and the struggle between Ren and Yoigoshi was so tense as Ren pushed him out of the court but it was Yoigoshi's day there. Great job, Rookie. A great episode from the way both the teams were depicted there at the end and you can clearly see Yoigoshi's face full of determination and the anger lingering through his body. He's getting hungry for the taste of that sweet victory. Noukin will remember this loss against Souwa (31-32) as they'll enter the tournament. |

| Yeah, very nice episode. I just wish we had more animated cuts. I thought they'd get destroyed but they only lost by 1 point, that's pretty good and they likely would've won had they not run out of time. Yoigoshi's raid was really cool but the team holding back Rokugen was definitely the best part of the episode, good stuff. |
 |
| Damn that was a really close match but they played really good with 2 new players. The OST was just incredible when Yoigoishi went to raid. |

SideCharacterKa said: The OST was just incredible when Yoigoishi went to raid. Moment of the episode for me as well. Got to get that soundtrack! Iura v the Brick was a really cool moment too. Animation felt lacking still but episodes with tempo like this is always a treat! |

| The match was really close, with Yoigoshi's explosive potential, next time will definitely end differently. |
 |
| Best episode so far. Animations still feel stiff sometimes. But overall it kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time when Ojo was going for Ren. And also Yoigoshi's raid was amazing. He was burning from the inside with that dead determination to take out Ren. It was Fire vs Water lol I'm really enjoying this series. I'm also enjoying the soundtracks. They do be hyping moments up |
 |
| Further development of Yoigoshi-Takaya rivalry, and the introduction of a Iura "Oujou's friend"-Rokugen rivalry. A solid episode overall ^^ |
 |
i really enjoy watching this anime bc it's funny and has a good story but the art style and animation are killing me 😭 |

| Too bad that they lost the match by 1 point. Looks like new characters are going to be introduced in the next episode. |
| This was such an intense episode! Ojo and Takaya competing, Yoigoshi's raid, and Iura's strategic tackle! All of them were awesome! Still Noukin lost by 1 point. It was a really close match. Yoigoshi's determination to get to the tournament and play better is commendable. Really looking forward to the next episode! |

| amazing episode, i really didn't expect the match to end this way i felt so frustrated almost as if i were there lol |
| Great episode! Definitely the best episode of the show so far. Ojo and Takaya's back and forth was great, Yoigoshi's raid though was something else plus the soundtrack in that scene made it so good. Very satisfying to see Takaya get defeated, we also got some really solid art this episode, even though the animation is definitely lacking the artstyle is really good at least. Being referred to as nothing more than "Ojo's friend" must suck, I am glad Iura got his moment and he was finally able to grab the attention of Rokugen. Shame they lost by one point since Rokugen was just that stronk. But the teams interactions after the match was pretty good. Looking forward to the next episode, more members are joining. |

| That was so nice of Yoigoshi when he tried to make Azemichi feel better by telling him that he was the first person to defeat him, the “undefeatable” ♡ |
 ꕤ but i’ll probably remember over and over again you were there and everyone else was there — the day we all searched for just one thing ꕤ |
| They finished up the match this episode and it was hype. As others have mentioned, I wish the animation during the matches was more dynamic and not shown in a Powerpoint type way, but it was still fun to watch. Noukin did well considering the fact that they aren't considered a strong team. They only lost by a single point, so as they continue to improve they should hopefully be able to beat Souwa next time. |
| 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. |
| great match! but still lost but at least only for 1 point! Yoigoshi is now dead-set on getting stronger!!! 5/5. |
 |
| i liked tha intensity, tsn they created in between raids i too was hyped for those moments |
 |
| that was great oh my god. the captain obtaining 1/3 of the teams points, and yoigoshi obtaining 1/4 of it. this episode focused on our 3 strongest guys, op captain, smart tactical vice capt, and greatly improving newby yoigoshi. the other 3 was .. pretty useless so i hope to see more focus on them in later eps. the 1 point lost was frustrating too. enjoyed this episode the most so far, dont know what changed but it was nice |
| Even if they lost, they were still able to do their own personal best. As for Azemichi, like Yoigoshi said he needs to keep playing and practicing to grow experience since he never played any sports before. I felt so satisfied when Yoigoshi got Takaya out. When Yoigoshi went to comfort Azemichi, that moment was so heartwarming. Looks like they'll have new members next episode, it'll be fun to watch. |
| The match was fantastic (tho I'd complain again that they could have used a bit more motion in the animation during the match). It was pretty much a game for raiders. Defenders didn't do shit. Hope the defenders level up their game, so we get to see some good tackles as well..... |
 |
| Too bad they lost at this point, they still did great for the match in my opinion it was tense |
 |
| Defeated by time. What a way to lose the match. This ep was just like any typical anime sports match, tbh. |
 |
| Too bad they lost by one point but still an impressive result for Yoigoshi since its his first match, with a lot of growth possible for the rest of the team possible before the tournament begins. |
