| Such a perfect anime |
 |
| This is seriously really good. |
| Damn, I want to go to Kaio Academy now! The gym, the library, the money, wish my high school had been like that :/ |

| Amazing episode. I just love the animation during matches. |
 |
| This show is amazing. |
| Dam those Ping Pong matches were intense and awesome. Kazuma is pretty scary with those dragon image, and Kong lost in the process. A little character development for Kong though. I'm hoping for a match between Smile and Kazuma. |
| I didn't like this episode as much as the previous two but that's okay seeing as this was still boss. I can't wait to see where it goes from here. I wonder what the importance of that girl is. Does Kong's loss actually meant anything to Smile? You just can't tell with that guy. |
 |
| every week im loving this show more and more and it's on 4 episodes in. kazama's match was one of the most exciting contests i've seen in a sports anime it gave me a similar feeling to watching a great fight in a shounen like hunter x hunter. not to mention all the great dialogue with the old coach and the old lady and also kong and his coach...just amazing. easy 5/5 episode |
| Good episode. Peco needed to lose one time, so he can see that he's not the best there is and that he has to improve himself too. Still sad seeing him crying alone at the end, i thought Smile should at least go home together with him. Sad to see Kong lose, Kazama really looked like a Titan^^ I guess we won't be seeing Kong around anymore, I actually liked him. It was nice to hear some Mandarin in anime for a change which also made it more realistic. |
| I can't get enough of that OP. |
| I'm not sure why Kaio is still regarded as high school lol. Peco being lost is a good thing, he underestimated his opponents too much. I hope he would improve later. I wonder if Smile is going to accept the inv or not, since he has quitted the club. Another great episode overall, glad i picked up this series. |
 |
| In what world is this 5 frames per second animation with crappy looking art great? Also, around 13:05, Kong's shot clearly hit Kazama's side of the table TWICE, yet Kazama was allowed to return it and score the point. Really unbelievable and egregious error by the animators. |
Hisomi said: At first, I am really worried about this animation's sales ( esp. it's sold as completed box =.=!!!) But today I checked the accumulated and predicted points of the whole animations this season, it goes well........( beyond my imagination ^.^) Hmm? How well is it doing? Just curious, since I'm worried about the sales too. Another great episode, the matches are seriously intense. Love the directing techniques used, especially the matches and that dragon bit. I wish the budget and schedule was better though. |
| This show is superb, I love every part of it. That opening artwork is unbelievable.. The matches were great, especially Kong VS Kazama |
| god-damn wenge got own'ed |
 |
| For being such a cocky bastard, you have to feel bad for Wenge because ping pong was his life, but feel good for him because he lifted a huge weight off his shoulders. Amazing episode once again |
| Kazama is a beast, respect. Kaio Academy looks amazing, except the meal part, I EAT WHAT I WANT, GOT IT?! Peco got owned, step it up n!gga and Tsukimoto got b!tchslapped ;) That's the end of Kong Wenge?! :( Where's the sea dude? he was amazing! Need more of him:) |
 |
| Epic match !!! |
| So basically, Smile lost for no reason |

| Awesome episode. That was fantastic. Intense matches, nice moments near the end as well. |
| Peco vs. Akuma and Wenge vs. Kazama made me feel anxious. It was like I was playing the match myself. The dragon symbolism was interesting. I didn't expect Wenge to lose to be honest, but this opens the door for further development to his character |

| I just realised something, when/if Smile versus Kazama I'll finally have an answer to "What would happen if a robot fought a dragon?" Unless Smile is channeling the superhero by then. |

Smile didn't want to crush his dream, being a nice guy and not really into ping pong. He gave him a chance to go against someone who's actually aiming for the top. |

Yea but then Wenge loses in the end so there was no point to Smile's intentional loss; maybe there will be a big development between the two but Smile's sympathy has no reasoning anymore |

| Ping Pong doesn't let up. I wonder what direction we're headed. The usual rematch at the next tourney? Perhaps something weirder. |
| 00:21 surappu! 01:51 ohhh yehhhh 05:09 I bet Peko'd lose 11:06 dat hentai 11:52 agreed 16:27 Sea King domination 18:46 wow 7/10 for this episode. |
| Isayama Hajime should be awarded The Manga with The Highest Inconsistencies of Characters' Appearances. He keeps performing multiple plastic surgeries on those Shingeki No Kyojin characters in a SINGLE chapter. Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga. Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month. Patiently awaiting SNK TV/movie/OVA anime-sequel. The 2015 SNK live-action movie would probably suck. |

Yea, it shows the will of everyone; if only Smile had such will, well that was what part of the episode highlighted |
| Ah, damn. The streak of good episodes was broken. Did they run out of budget already? the art and animation are considerably worse in this episode. Pico's match was just terrible and stupid. 3/5 |
 |
| Feel bad for Wenge. Wonder where the anime will go from here. |
 |
| i saw lightning and dragons... looking forward to the next one :) |
| I'm loving Wenge's relationship with his coach, it says so much without huge gestures. A single smirk between the two was suffice. |
| “Suppose, gentlemen, that man is not stupid.” |
| The talk between Wenga and his coach was really touching. The way his coach smiled him during the match too, it was like he was telling him : ''You did your best''. It was a bit obvious that Peko would lose, he surestimate himself way too much. Damn, that Kaio college sure is one hell of an high-tech place. Such crazy measure for a sport always astonish me. They are really waging their life on a sport. |

| Kazama with the wreckage. Kaio seems like a ping pong resort facility o_O |
