| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- So the older Kashiwaba finally appears. That part at the end with the younger Kashiwaba talking, he may actually want to destroy the baseball club. |
| The answer to Koutarou's question: Kazuya wouldn't have stringed Minami along for the best years of her life; having her act like his wife whilst refusing to get intimate. The way both Minami and Tatsuya are covering for a person who's trying to destroy their dream, and has only ever said and done bad things, is as retarded as ever. Does it even matter why he's doing it? Again, I feel obliged to point out that this filler coach business is meaningless, in the grand scheme of things. It wasn't needed for the baseball side, and all it has done is get in the way of the best aspect of Touch - the romance. I would be moved by the childhood friendship parallel if it mattered enough for me to care. It did bring up an interesting point, though: would Tatsuya, Minami, and Kazuya's relationship have gone in a similar direction if Kazuya hadn't gone bye-bye? |
| Nice try for the sympathy card with the demon but I'm not buying it, he's done too much to deserve any from the team. |
 |
| Well that one hell of a grudge...Tatsuya proving him wrong so far and not giving up. |
| At least a new character appeared. Alright episode. |
 |
| A really good backstory of Kashiwaba's arc I don't like how Eichirou said something like that Actually, he should tell everyone about the accident when he graduated so Eijirou won't be like this right now And, I smell love triangle between them. But overall, coach's arc is what makes the story interesting. |
 |
| The situation with Yuka is getting out of hand, but to the most important thing of the episode: the Kashiwaba brothers. I don't understand why Minami didn't say the truth to the older brother, and got rid of the demon. He isn't wrong in calling his brother "incorrigible scum", we already saw enough to know that this is exactly what he is, he even threatened Tacchan with ruining his summer and dreams, and he disrespected Kacchan's death for the third time, but Tacchan is such a silly buffoon that he is saying that "no matter what the demon is our coach". He isn't wrong, but he is only the coach because he lied, and pretended to be his brother to get this position in order to torture young players to feel alive in his miserable existence. Yes, his past is sad, but his brother didn't even blame the accident on him, he volunteered to take the blame by himself. Of course his brother was wrong to accept this, but really, there is no way to justify what he did, and what he is doing with Meisei's team. |
 |
| Nice backstory for the coach, really made me care about his situation. Sure, his methods are harsh, almost cruel and apparently he's still holding a grudge, yet I can't help but think that he's having good intentions in mind. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Really makes me wondering about Tatsuya's life without his brother's death Would he lead a life as misery as the interim coach's? They were particularly the same, a concerning brother that love their sibling more than their self. Indeeed Kazuya wasn't a delinquent unlike the coach's brother, but we'll never be able to foresee what's going to happen, right? |

| Sympathy? nah, the coach is still a douchebag and totally deserves the misery he is going through since he brought it on himself. Even though I agree with Koutarou's point at the start, I also don't think Tatsuya should do it now but do it after reaching Koshien showing that he surpassed his brother before actually dating her. On the other hand he could easily have refused any of Yuka's advances. |
 |
| I was hoping for this episode clear up some things yet it basically retold what we already knew and left me with more questions than answers. Like, I can't even read if Kashiwaba Eijirou (the asshole coach) is doing what he's doing for petty revenge or something else. What is the story trying to tell us about Kashiwaba Eiichirou exactly, that he's actually the real monster and not his younger brother? What's with the shades making him look more sinister than his brother? The only thing I caught from this is that Eijirou is basically what Tatsuya might've grown up to be if Kazuya didn't die which is something I realized much earlier when Kashiwaba was introduced. But man the fucking coach is trying too hard to make a point to Tacchan, the "yOu AnD i ArE n0t So DiFfErEnT" trope. When will he realize the Uesugi twins are nothing like him and his brother. I don't smoke but he probably shouldn't have wasted a cigarette there. Koutarou has a girlfriend and he isn't really wrong. Minami and Tatsuya should've already become an item. But Tatsuya seems to enjoy cockblocking himself still. |
Damn Koutarou is a thotslayer. Based.0451Aug 23, 2021 5:37 AM
