If Minami didn't slap the coach and Tatsuya didn't get to him then I was going to take him out, how insulting. I want to understand this guy's agenda.

I would have punched him too. I'm guessing the coach was jealous of his brother.

Koutarou is just brilliant. Yay for a practice match. I feel a little bad for Minami though, I'm guessing the Coach knew which is why he said yes.

Mmhmm, that's what I figured too. It makes sense.

Wow, the coach turned into a vile asshole in this episode. I'm glad Minami slapped that c*nt, he went way too far with the Kacchan stuff. Excited to see a baseball match after a really long time, it's only a practise match though.

I bet the coach has a similar story to Tatsuya's.
Anyways great dramatic scene in the begin.

All Minami's restaurant seems to serve is spaghetti and coffee.

What an asshole. Just because you don't get along with your superior brother doesn't mean everyone else think the same thing.

I can't believe this demon, going out of his way to torment someone else with the death of a loved one; saying stuff like "you're lucky", or "you must feel relieved". Insufferable, a slap was too little, but at least it happened! And I can't believe the principal, instead of doing something for the team, he decided it would be better to bury the truth "for now".

Yuka is starting to feel pitiful running after Tacchan all the time too, and I liked how Koutarou decided to do something for his team by arranging that practice game, but I'm more interested in Minami's side with the gymnastics. And the new ED is nice, but not like the first two.

Ok, the dude went way too far there. Absolutely bad in taste.

Alright I completely changed my mind on that fake asshole, being strict can be a good thing but beating the shit out of people and insulting the innocent death goes too far, no bullshit reason can forgive him from that. But I have to say he didn't deserve that slap, should have been done with a baseball bat instead.

All the aggressive backchat from Minami and Tacchan did seem rather unrealistic in the last few episodes. The man is twice their size, nearly twice their age, known to be violent and can end any of their school careers if they so much as raise a finger against him. IRL even a overconfident hothead like Tacchan would have been acting more like Kotarou and the others around the coach out of sheer fear of a beating. At least until Kashiwaba started mocking his brother's death. I got angry enough to punch someone just watching it, I dread to think what I would try to do if that happened to me.

This guy might show like he is some hard ass person but from inside he is a depressed soul.The constant comparisons with his brother really has really broken him to pieces from inside and he has not been able to recover from that.

The asshole coach thinks Tatsuya is similar to him which couldn't have been more further from the truth. He deserved that bitch-slap and then some.

The asshole was jealous of his more successful older brother. On the other hand Tacchan loved Kacchan and sacrificed the world for him to succeed until his untimely death. I'm guessing this is how Kacchan would've turned out if Tacchan never held back his talent.

The new ED is fine I guess. I'm digging the 3rd OP (Che! Che! Che!) more lately.
