| So Anri has quickly moved on from Aoi? Or am I mistaken? Anyway, Aoi technically isn’t the wrong about Hana making meal plans for Kuribayashi being a good thing for her, but the way he asked “why do you need to ask me” was quite dense. Hopefully he starts understanding how to better interact with Hana. As for the match, I’m definitely interested in seeing how the trio plays. |
| What an episode! Damn this dude Ashito, first telling Hana that he wants her to stay and talk to her, and then he goes off on her soon after. Good thing he realized, or at least I think so, on the drive back after seeing that picture. The moment when Tachibana said he would like to play alongside Ashito and Ootomo with the music in the background hit differently, a truly wholesome moment. After this long build-up, I can't wait to see what the next episode holds. |

phantomfandom said: So Musashino is a kind of giant killing team, but this kind of team can only go so far in the anime that takes giant killing tactic as its main theme. If I remember correctly there's manga/anime in the past that play with this idea but I forget its name. Generally I expect a big fish to continue to eat small fish in Ao Ashi, and Esperion is a very big fish in a Japanese pond. I don't expect a romance aspect to be this complicated. Now Togashi is involved in this mess too by eating Anri's bento that was supposed to give to Aoi. And there's already Aoi-Hana-Kuribayashi triangle, and let's not forget that Anri has a crush on the coach Fukuda, and Motoki is her childhood friend. Wow, this line-up is just as exciting as a soccer match line-up LOL. Ohtomo seems to be the only one missing this romantic chaos train, he sacrifice himself to act as a running gag. Aoi getting upset that Kaneda insult Tachibana but its actually Aoi's words that hurt Tachibana the most. Because Aoi only speak the truth, and not insult, so when Aoi criticized Tachibana in the previous match, Tachibana completely lose his confidence. But I'm glad Tachibana getting upset when Kaneda insult Aoi, even if it almost lead to a physical confrontation. Takeshima and Togashi had a fight reminds me that sometimes members in the same team had a fight for a who-knows reason. But the worst thing out of this unnecessary infighting is that some, if not most of the time, they're not resolved in a better relationship. It's very likely that they'll get worse and thus bring the whole team's morale down. And it seems like Takeshima and Togashi fall into this category. I hope they'll reconcile, in fact, I expect they're gonna reconcile soon, because they're fictional characters. If they're real people the chance that they'll reconcile is almost close to zero. Oh, when I watch Shoot last week I kinda expect more fan service from Ao Ashi too, but it look like there'll be none. Maybe I'll have to looking forward to Blue Lock instead. anri does not have a crush on fukuda. she is just a hardcore fan.and dont worry wont give spoilers but love triangle wont last long. |
| What a great episode. Well worth the two weeks wait IMO. I'm hoping that Kaneda will have a Nunez moment next episode where he gets a red card from being riled up by maybe Togashi or Takeshima. Speaking of those two, apparently, they had a huge fight which will only make their partnership worse. Two positions missing in the lineup and you would have to assume that Asari and Kuroda will fill up those spots. Can't wait for the next episode. |

I fucking hate this romantic subplot, it's just annoying and utterly useless. Aside from that, Kanade reminds me of  . Well, it was really heartwarming to know that everyone still thinks highly of Tachibana. He just gotta step a level up in the Esperion team. Also, he stood up for Ashito which made me like him even more. He's having a lot of down moments but IG, it's soon that he'll reveal his true strenght. Kaneda is such a fucking F-tier character in terms of everything. |
   “You yourself have to change first, or nothing will change for you!” ' |
| YOO tachibana's sister is kinda ..... Yk..😝😝 but omg aoi ashito you FOOOOL. this god damn soccer hyperfixinated dumbass 😭😭 poor hana gotta deal with someone like him. nice kick hana anri giving her hand made lunch to togashi ummmmm they kindddda cute.. and tachibana☹️ bro everyone's rooting for you and they truly do believe in you im so sad as to how he cant see Why they would |
| I have grown so attached to these characters I love them to death!! My hype levels are through the roof for this upcoming match I really hope they go all out with the animation!!! Love this anime so much. |
 |
| Well hey, Togashi gets a free lunch even if it was meant for Aoi. So awkward haha. We get to finally see these Musashino guys in action. Had a few questions about that: What’s wrong with “pressing high”? And what’s the point of what Satake said about “taking risks”? I mean they’re playing as a single cohesive unit and like Aoi said they’re aware of their own weaknesses, is that why they can take risks or are more willing to? Did Hana poke his butt? Haha. Their awkward flirting is just too precious, man. I guess she’s a little jealous of Anri though haha. Ohtomo was gonna lose it if Miyako was Tachibana’s gf. He had that “damn flirty couples” look on his face haha. Ohtomo trying to hit on Miyako and then getting shot down so hard lol. Poor guy! I guess we see how Kaneda doesn’t fit the team style. Dude is the Evil Aoi, just talking about getting the ball to him and scoring. Overcompensating for being shit before I guess. Phony tryouts? Oh get fucked. I can’t stand this dude! Aoi is a good friend standing up for Tachibana and calling Kaneda out on his bullshit. If Kaneda played as well as he talked shit, this fucker would have made Esperion. Hell, he’d have gone pro. Hana kicking Aoi in the face was great lol. Those two are seriously so awkward. They have feelings but don’t quite understand it themselves lol. Ohtomo looked pleased, little troll lol. Without Yoshitsune, the teams gonna have to rely on their own skills and strengths. This issue with Togashi and guys like Takeshima and Kuroda needs to be resolved. Tachibana seems like he’s getting his shit together. Everyone needs to shape up before the match. Big time. Musashino ain’t messing about, if Esperion doesn’t bring their A game they’re done. |
| i don't know who is more of a trash: Kaneda or Akutsu...well maybe Akutsu is more skilled and has trashy attitude but Kaneda is far more of a trash because of a more trashy attitude and his skills and mindset is really not for teamwork... Ootomo reactions are so hilarious! as for Hana looks like she's slowly realizing that she cares for Ashito...come on! let the love/romance begin! lolz 5/5. |

| Good build for the great match that will come. Could be better, more focused on the real sports than the player feelings and insecurities. We get that Tachibana isnt scoring. We used to that all the time in real life... But hm... since Esperion is a top team who have a top youth, they should be on the top so, Im expecting a victory here. High pressure teams with lack of talented players should at least have some draws and lose. No way literally 1 player can make a difference. |

| Lol Togashi got to eat the bento made by Anri which was originally supposed to be for Ao. She's learning to cook now. Damn, she badly wants to overtake Hana huh? Damn, Miyako is kinda hot lol. Ohtomo trying to woo her with that Jojo-like face was hilarious. Kaneda has become such a douchebag. As much as I want the Aoi and the bois to slander him, the real joy would be in defeating him in the upcoming match. Kaneda is the embodiment of a Blue Lock striker's mindset and ego. The bois have a heart-to-heart in the backseat. Welp, the team seems to be in shambles. Kuroda and Asari are returning so they might be out of sync with Team B and/or might have become too advanced with their short stay in Team A and would probably find it hard to fit in again with their old teammates. Also, Takeshima and Togashi had a fight (probably about Togashi going for a goal rather than defending) so the defence might not be able to perform well. That surprise photo though ಥ_ಥ. Aoi really had to say all that to Hana >:( Tachibana will indeed be playing as a forward in the next match. I wonder where Kuroda/Asari would be placed. Asari would probably be the missing defender. Oh man, only a few eps until this season ends. Really hoping for a fast S2 release. IG should start with Ao Ashito's production as soon as they are done with the Haikyuu movies. |
 |
| Oh boy oh boy, this episode made me feel a rollercoaster of emotions. Damn, I'm rooting for Hana x Ashito ship tho. Wonder what fate'll have in store for the two of them ;) Annnnnddddd suuuuuupeeerrrrr pumped for the upcoming game against Mushashino!!!! LES GOOOOO BOISSSS |
If you choose to do only what you know, you'll never experience the joy of being able to do something you couldn't before.  |
| Ofc they're all starting 😂 U know Tachibana is gonna score in this game |
| I have a third testicle that gives me psychic powers |
| Tachibana's time to shine is approaching. Kaneda is a guy who still thinks a forward is naturally superior to a defender. He would most likely lose. On the other hand, Aoi and Hana have a nasty fight. Really love the chemistry they're developing here. Here's hoping they patch things up by talking and grow closer to each other. |
 |
| Aoi you're an idiot lol |
| I'm not sure in this season will we see the fruits of the decision to put him in the back like that |
| sucess!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
| anyone know what happened to Asari i feel like we haven’t seen him in a while |
 |
iantreel said: anyone know what happened to Asari i feel like we haven’t seen him in a while Him and Kuroda got temporarily promoted to A team. They will be back for the upcoming Musashino match. |
| Dude, WTF? Players not focusing on the matches, a forward who can't score, fist fights between teammates... I swear, Esperion B's current situation reminds me so much of the one my favorite team is facing right now and I absolutely hate it. 3/5 episode. Kaneda acting so unrealistically toxic is beyond ridiculous at this point and the new drama chapter between Ashito and Hana isn't of my interest either. |
Romangelo said: SouthRzVa said: Esperion B's current situation reminds me so much of the one my favorite team is facing right now and I absolutely hate it. Ah... you're a Manchester United fan, right? Boca Juniors from Argentina. Situation is practically the same except that none of Esperion B's players has been accused of violence against women or tried to fist fight the coach. |
 This is the power of brute strength that Kuribayashi was Poopooing a couple episodes ago. It isn’t very elegant, or by some accounts very noble, but it is very effective. Soccer is a contact sport. It may not be as aggressively obvious as with American Football, but there is a lot of wrestling involved. Defenders will try to muscle you off the ball, both legally and for strategic foul purposes. The raw physical strength of a forward in their ability to stay upright is crucial in this aspect. Clearly they’re building Kaneda up to be the weak link in the coming match and I’m curious how they’re gonna do it. Pretty sure the games going to have a moment where Aoi uses his “Eagle Eye” vision super power to send up a long ball to Tachibana for a counter because Kaneda just decided not to mark him or whatever. But who knows, this show is pretty unpredictable so far so we'll just have to see. I don't like seeing Hana get jealous but at the same time I don't really blame Aoi. Unlike most other Love Triangle MC's he's got a lot on his plate so I can't blame him for not noticing. TBH I really don't think he even should be considering about getting a GF rn. |
-insert NGE meme here- |
| Man so many edgy mfers in this series lmao. Also ffs Hana how about make a decision for yourself without having to contact your daydream boyfriend |
| Now I'm convinced that Aoi will contribute a whole lot to the offense(whether it's an assist, orchestrating the entire attack or scoring a goal himself) even as fullback. Togashi ate Anri's bento and it didn't suck, color me surprised. In sports anime you expect to see the trope of the girl who can't cock for shit xD It's hopeless, but I ship these two because I'm not too fond of the thought of Anri being part of a love triangle. Kaneda the fucker needs to take another L and I will rejoice when Esperion and foremost Aoi and Tachibana knock him off his high horse. I respect the grind, tho and he might learn his lesson. |
