Toua's calculations and explanations really do make sense. I'm guessing Johnson's gonna be defeated by Toua in the next ep.

haha totally agree. He looks so ridiculours.


Lmao, yeah. I love all the subtle things done in a show, some of them can be great.

Johnson running into the wall was great, but at that speed, it must hurt <_<

Heh surprised nobody mentioned the end where Tokuchi, who NEVER had any batting experience in life (as far as we know), had so good ball control on a pitch from a prof pitcher, even if he's not throwing his a game at that moment. But yeah for some anime you need to toss aside your reason and logic and just go with the flow, enjoyed the ep ^^

This anime really takes some obscure baseball rules and situations into focus. And also add in some stereotypical American as well.

What else you got Toua?

I confused what Johnson's calculations are. Forget it that will ruin my brain from thinking it out.
When Toua first batted, I was shocked that it is first time batting.
Cat and mouse game it is tough as a motherfucker to trap Johnson speeding.
5/5.

I actually liked the explanation. Cleared up why nobody can seem to get this guy out. Also, I hope Toua keeps making that guy smack into the wall. I laughed the first time. xD

Jeez the hate for this episode was ridiculous.

I liked it. The math actually made sense and it didn't seem terribly confusing in my eyes.

Curious to find out Johnson's weakness.

Had to go and see the drunk announcer. There really were some visual gags I missed!

Good episode. I expect this next episode to be epic!

8/10

Well if nothing else, he could just keep fouling them into the left field like that, I mean Johnson will get worn out and probably a little rattled if he keeps face checking the wall like that.

Toua can't direct the ball where he wants coz he's just a beginner, well let's see in the next ep that what he has planned.

I guess that the flaw is that Johnson can't stop running when he start to. So if he try to always send it on the side, he'll get injured at some point.

For the first time, Toua has registred gain, but what he said on the bench is some huge foreshadowing I believe. He said that with the coach logic, they think that he'll be able to get to home 8 or 9 times on 10. With their new strategy, if the coach get obstinated on that statistic, he can get nearly as much money as he lost. He could even transform it into a gain.

Though it was a bit ridiculous, I didn't mind the long explanations that much. Tokuchi still seems a bit too overpowered, but he did give up that one run. It's still really exciting though!

If the series continues like this, I will give it an 8/10. If they somehow throw in another great element or turn up the excitement even more, it could very well even become a 9/10.

I think that those really precise calculations by Shirooka and Toua don't exactly apply for every single run but it's an estimate from all the available data. It was pretty hard to keep up with all those numbers but I can definitely tell that every decisecond counts!

It's nice to see Toua play all sorts of different roles in this game for once. It looks like he was able to pick up on how Johnson's method of defense centers on the really risky All or Nothing approach. It'd be very entertaining if he takes advantage of that and make him injure himself while running for the ball.

Toua just lost 1 billion, he probably has a plan already
He found a flaw in Johson's defense
Also he can play as a batter, guess he's just the perfect baseball player

This episode cemented my theory that Tokuchi's favorite strategy is flubbing things up and giving the other team false hope so they crash and burn in the end.
