| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Hmm, wonder where that steel beam example came from. Johnson tries to copy the famed Brooklyn rage, but fails. The poor sap. Looks like another extra innings game is coming up. |

| Pretty entertaining episodel...it's getting toward Kaiji levels of visual metaphor though. |

Wow, can`t wait when you say that(no offence ofc) since it looked like you didn't enjoy this show.=) EDIT: That episode was much better than the previous ones. Can`t wait to see what`s coming up next. |

| if you like/love this show, then I absolutely recommend watching Kaiji, it's pretty much the same in design, but a lot grittier--i guess that would be the word. I never saw Akagi, but I believe that the three are all in the same boat. |
| Well, Kaiji is my favorite show, and Akagi was extremely good. Though I think Kaiji is easily the best of the three, but that`s my opinion. I love these shows=) |
| You don't need to understand mahjong to watch Akagi. It might help, but I don't think it makes much of a difference. |
naikou said: You don't need to understand mahjong to watch Akagi. It might help, but I don't think it makes much of a difference. Yup, exactly as you don't need to be a baseball fan to enjoy One Outs :) In fact, most probably it's even better to be noob at the topic the anime covers. |
naikou said: You don't need to understand mahjong to watch Akagi. It might help, but I don't think it makes much of a difference. Agree...Well I looked it up a little bit, but I knew next to nothing. That is what amazes me with Akagi, I mean... Do you really know how hard it is to make something really interesting, even if you don`t know wtf is going on? That is pretty sick... |
| Nice episode, I like how Tokuchi turned the game into a game of One Outs. |
| lol at Johnson's reaction - "Oh no! Shit!". XD |
 |
| wonderful episode |
 |
| Gah the narrator just had to say those things at the end! Rawr wonder what's gonna happen.. |
| HEY! |
| The Lycaons offense definitely needs to pick up the slack. If you like One Outs you'll love Kaiji. You might like Akagi, but you might be bored unless you really like Mah Jong and extremely repetitive visual metaphors. btw, anyone else think Tokuchi is Akagi reincarnated? |
 |
MK said: The Lycaons offense definitely needs to pick up the slack Is Kojima playing or is he still recovering from injury? Absence of their batting hero could somehow explain their poor scoring. |
| Johnson RAGE at the end totally made this episode a 5/5. just the simple hilarity of his face garners 2 points. and thanks to the posters before, I'm even more inclined to watch Kaiji and Akagi (since both were getting that much praise). |
    |
| What a great episode! Things were starting to slow down with the past few ones, but this one definitely brings the show back on the track of ONE OUTS. I was starting to miss Tokuchi's psychological mind screwing. XD |

yakyuu-addict said: Agreed, also the owner's realisation moment about the double plays was great. ^^Nice episode, I like how Tokuchi turned the game into a game of One Outs. Hehe Toua can just move his team mates around on the field how he likes. Looked pretty cool when they set up the nine player infield again. Also he continues to make grown men shake in their boot, lol at the abyss of doom and towering Toua visualisatons XD Torisunanohokori said: Actually it made me kinda miss Brooklyn and the rest of the Mariners team. During that arc we got to see the opposing team players interacting amougst themselves, found out their personalities etc. While here there's really only been a focus on Johnson and coach here...Johnson tries to copy the famed Brooklyn rage, but fails. The poor sap.. Aina-Chan said: Yeh that was just evil! Am so glad episode 15 came out yesterday!!!!Gah the narrator just had to say those things at the end! Rawr wonder what's gonna happen.. |

| Oh no! Shit! |

yakyuu-addict said: Nice episode, I like how Tokuchi turned the game into a game of One Outs. I agree. That was pretty sick. I was wondering if they were going to bring back in the actual game of One Outs. This series keeps getting better and better. Tokuchi is so awesome! |
 |
| I'm still grinning when i know that the chairman is losing 200 million and the salary Tokichi's earned is not canceled out |
 |
| Great. Wonder what'll happen next. The background music is awesome. |
| I just love when the owner rages,lol. yakyuu-addict said: I like how Tokuchi turned the game into a game of One Outs. And this. |

| Awesome episode.Tokuchi really knows how to play mind game |
    |
| Well, another great job by Tokuchi, but after seeing how the episode ended, it seems that things aren't over yet. |
| 9 man infield...boy this anime takes liberties with baseball. |

 |
| Every time Toua is in that red aura I just can't help but laugh. It's hilarious when he nonchalantly taunts his opponents into falling into his trap. The title of the next episode is really making me wonder what on earth he's planning now. |

Toua's intimidation in simplest terms: A: You suck. You will fail. B: Oh shit, I might fail...I suck...Fuc-- *batter out* |
| I was predicting the problem Toua had in this episode, but I wasn´t able to predict the way to take care of it. Like making a dead ball was great idea. |
 |
| The Lycaons need to score at least one point, come on |
 |
| Toua continues to succeed in holding the Bugaboos back with those sick mind games. That nine-player-infield was pretty cool. Nobody has scored the entire game. Really wondering how the Lycaons are gonna score the game winning point against these guys with a strategist like Shirooka. Johnson's engrish was definitely the best part of this episode. "Oh no! Shit!" I was cracking up! The owner screaming in terror definitely deserves an honorable mention though! Great episode as always. It's looking like next episode will be the last one against the Bugaboos. 8/10 |

| Wonder what the foreshadowing at the end meant . . . I think it either meant that he was prolonging the game, longer game = more outs = more money. If not then the infielders he subbed in were all really good batters. In which case he intends to end it this inning. |
 |
yakyuu-addict said: Nice episode, I like how Tokuchi turned the game into a game of One Outs. |
| I also liked how he turned it in to One Outs, Toua comes up with all the best strategies. Plus he knows how to psych people out lol. |
 |
| damn toua |
 |
| Damn, he's gonna get rich with that match too. I assume that the owner can't reach the manager phone since he doesn't retire Toua. The more this game get in prologation, the more money he cumulate. Next episode title sure contrast with this one. He'll try to humiliate them, One Outs style. |

| dat owner owned. i've never knew he was a sadist.. Add to that the one outs style and he's invincible |
 「 To other people, I might not have changed at all, but I feel like I was able to change... 」 |
| Lmao the Owner has already lost the 1 billion yen he won from last game. Love how scared the manager reacts whenever Tokuchi has something to say, his reactions are priceless. The enemy should just put in ear plugs, that way they cant be fooled by Tokuchi. |
 |
| Amazing psychological games from Toukchi . Great Episode . |
