| Bad call by the ump to end Maruo's chances of a comeback, although compared to the amount of awful calls I've seen in football/soccer and basketball matches in the past few months, this call was nothing in comparison. He lost 6-2, 6-1 to the first seed of a big tournament for him. It's not like a regular sports anime where he's bound to win everything to just lose at the final in situations like this, he was outclassed nearly in every department till the end but he did figure out some things about his game that he should work on and develop like the focus on control while aggressive and his general usage of strategies too. Nabae was just too good overall for Maruo but at least Maruo can learn from this experience to further build on his journey towards becoming a pro. It's definitely not easy to become one and reach the All-Japan Junior tournament so being humbled by the first seed early is probably the right thing to happen to him in the long run. Great mental fortitude though to keep on going till the very end, definitely earned the A grade from Nabae with that. |
| Poor Eiichirou. My boy got robbed by an umpire who's too lazy to climb down a fucking chair and see the mark the ball left. |
| I like how this anime deals with other people's relationship in some matter of time. |
