----------------------------------------
This coach is out of control. Did he rip up a poster of Kazuya? And just beating Nishimura mercilessly like that. I want the twist about him to happen soon, because I can't keep watching him like this.
I'm very interested in finding out more about the coach's backstory but holy hell that was so fucking funny when he beated the shit out of poor old Nishimura LOL. The poor guy just keeps getting shitted on every episode lmao, he is the best comedy relief character next to Harada in this show XD.
The coach is mad and he seen to has a inferior complex, I hope Tatsuya proved him wrong. Hitting Nishimura that badly was a bit overkill, even he don't deserve such a treatment.
Minami was feeling so left out that she couldn't even enjoy her day off, a pity. At least Nitta went to check on her. Yuka isn't doing well as a manager; I do feel like the amount of work is excessive, but her lack of experience is still a part of this. Then there is the demon coach, who learned about Tacchan's circumstances, and Nishimura, who is always playing the role of a clown, but at least this time he wasn't only wrong, but he was also wronged.
It was wrong of him to try to hit that puppy, there is no way to justify this, but he didn't deserve to be beaten like that by that abuser. He is an adult, and now he is even beating a student from another school. Nishimura really is a clown though, I can't believe he will stay to pitch. At least thanks to the demon coach he isn't the worst character anymore.
Damn never thought Minami did a lot as manager, kinda wish they showed that side of her earlier on
So beating his own team wasn't enough, he now goes after students from different schools. Even though Nishimura is a clown most of the time and the dog didn't deserve the possible hit, the coach really went too far there and could have easily done only the 'stop the swing part'
Yuka is finally understanding what it means to be the manager of a baseball club. Good on her. Also indirectly showed how invested Minami was for the baseball club.
You always play the role of the clown, Nishimura lol. Tho he didn't deserve getting beaten like that. Liked how Minami went to stop that crazy coach.
I don't think the coach tore a poster of Kazuya. Why would he have one in the first place? If anything it was probably something from his old Meisei days. Maybe he never made it into Koushien or something and that's the source of his strictness. Unfortunately for him I don't think I will change my mind about him solely from his traumatic past, he needs to change for the better for the future first.
