| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Game between Ryuou continues. Azuma's batting. Someone in Ryuou is telling the pitcher to do a ball that he might not hit it, but Azuma did home run. Kou's pitching pissed that Ryuou guy (he's the same person who told the pitcher to do the ball). Kou is protecting his 1 point well so far. Aoba is hyper and complaining about Kou to Azuma's brother. Two guys went to see Aoba with love letters and she refused them with pissing expression. Kou is suddenly doing a ball that shocks Ryuou. lol @ that fat guy from Seisho. The batter that Kou is afraid of hit Kou's ball! Azuma said he did well. The coach said that the extended game is inevitable at this point. Even that spiky hair guy did well? Ryuou changed a pitcher. They did a plan to not let Azuma hit the ball. Kou has been waiting for that batter, so he let a random batter to go (4 balls). He's having fun! The batter hit his ball, but Kou caught it. Long game continues next ep. There's a new girl appearing, too! |

leoneri said: omg .. is wakaba still alive??? That's what I'm sayin!! That would be insane!!! Episode was Epic!!! This game is the exciting! Aoba is LULZ funny, "I'll beat the shit out of you..." Kou is lovin this, I so hope he strikes dude out!! And wtf? at catching the ball bare handed...baka!! I can't wait til next week, to see if this girl really is Wakaba, that would be so awesome!! Urahara Out!! |
 |
| New girl better not be Wakaba... |
| my type of pitchers dual here, fast paced and not drawn out.... but indeed last part of the ep was epic |
 |
leoneri said: Wakaba is dead..seriously Last thing i wanted to see in Adachi's series is a dead girl walking..omg .. is wakaba still alive??? Lol for Nakanishi to trying to get double, if he just reduce his weight probably he will XD Looks like they will go for extra inning, hopefully nothing wrong with Kou's fatigue as he was pitching all inning And who the hell is this people sending love letter to Aoba in the middle of the game XD |
 |
| Probably one of the best episode so far! Somehow i think that Seishu will lose this game |
| Guessing by the preview they're gonna lose.. I really hope not though.. |
 |
| I hope that girl just looks like Wakaba. |
 |
Heibi said: The girl in umbrella..ella..ella, before the op changedShe's been in the opening the whole series. Watch closely. |
| |
| Really good game. The ending is so good when Kou caught the batter ball his hand was shaking. OMG finally she is here next episode. |
 "A Legend is but a tale of a beautiful lie." |
| Really good episode. I liked it. My only problem is that Kou looked too much like Aoba whenever he wasn't standing still. |
noteDhero said: Really? it's not that hard to tell the different..Kou is using a blue glove..well probably i already get to used to it from manga..Really good episode. I liked it. My only problem is that Kou looked too much like Aoba whenever he wasn't standing still. |
| |
| I mean that when Kou was pitching, I knew it was Kou, but the face and body resembled Aoba more. Especially the hair. That seems to be the only differentiation between the two when their in their uniform, but they were identical at times, despite that. |
| Hmm, probably they did it on purpose.. |
| |

bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |

That seems to be the only differentiation between the two when their in their uniform, but they were identical at times, despite that. I think they purposely did that in the beginning to emphasize that it was Aoba that Koh was imitating when he pitches and after that just got lazy and reused it. |
silverangel said: Yes, despite the animator's reason for probably being lazy, in story itself as silverangel said Kou is adapting Aoba's form because Aoba's form reduced the pressure to the body and it was perfectly fit Kou, so probably they just use that reason to reused the animation over and overnoteDhero said: I mean that when Kou was pitching, I knew it was Kou, but the face and body resembled Aoba more.

| I guess I am not the only one who has this hard time with Aoba and Kou being look the same when they put their cap on. Oh god, you can never guess it is a guy or girl when they start the shoot from behind. wakka9ca said: It is.Siva said: OMG finally she is here next episode. It's about time. |
"A Legend is but a tale of a beautiful lie." |
| The thing is...I never noticed it until this episode, so I can't say if it's canned animation or not. |
| It's just the Adachi's style, give the man a break geez. Just the fact that wakaba died interested me, because the main female character in all Adachi's mangas look the same... when they killed her off i was shocked. |
| I'm dishonest, and a dishonest man you can always trust to be dishonest. It's the honest ones you have to watch out for. Honestly. |
| Awesome episode is awesome. Aoba praising Kou was pleasing. |
greenmush said: I've seen that in H2 though, i guess it must be painful :/This is the first time i see a direct catch from the pitcher without the ball bouncing , sweet |
| |
| epic!! The ending was real epic!!! Azuma, Kou and Mishima are enjoying the game Mishima bats the ball and Kou catches it immediately with his hand shaking! 5/5 ep! Can't wait for next ep~ n it's finally time for the mysterious Wakaba-like character to appear xDD |
 When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth. |
| The op keeps changing and we there are more and more pictures of a grown-up wakaba, and now this preview? right now i`m really hoping it`s not her, but even if it is it could turn out well. oh please let it turn out well. :\ |

oridistor said: I think it will be the same..or probably more adulteryanyways, great episode, and like you'll probably understand from the continue of the series, the fact that Kou and Aoba looks the same unless you look at the glove's color when pitching and wearing the cap is pretty much intentional, it's really hard to tell the difference... In the following episodes there will be something related to that fact. |
| |
| "Kitamura Koh, huh", I remember reading that line like 20 times already. This was just as good as the manga. Oh yeah there's a reason why Koh and Aoba look alike, just keep on watching. Which Adachi manga had a joke that all the main characters looked alike. Was it Katsu? |
| Epic....I hope Kou's hand is ok though. |
Laevantein said: Lol for Nakanishi to trying to get double, if he just reduce his weight probably he will XD Sadly, this is exactly what I thought when he fell short of the base. XD He would have made it if he didn't weigh so much... 'cause he dove before the ball was caught. I have to say, yeah, Kou was super cool at the end. :D I'm surprised at how much confidence Aoba has in his skills though. She'd probably deny it if someone mentioned it, though... |

 "Only the dead have seen the end of war". ~Plato~ |
| Shit got serious. |
 |
| The match has gotten really interesting. Also I'm curious about the girl in the end. |
 |
| This match is epic ... |
"The Slave is the have-not, the oppressed one with nothing to spare. But because the Slave is in that despairing situation, having nothing, it can kill the Emperor !" |
| Kya!! Kou is AMAZING! At the very end you can really tell, everybody was going `what tha`fu*k`in their heads. An episode worthy of mind explosions. Many many mind explosions. |
| ~End Nestea bottle abuse!~ Tsuppi is Signe |
| epic He snagged the comebacker by Mashima. Kou wins this time up! The team is really disadvantaged by not having a reliever but Kou doesn't even seem fatigued at all. |
| It rapidly transformed into a pitcher duel. And it look like it will go far into prolongation... That catch at the end. Woah, Koh. Don't break your end :P Aoba being her casual tsundere, haha. I freaking laughed when Shimano broke a finger and the animator kept saying : ''you're so miserable, Shimano!'' xD My prediction is that they will lose the game. I don't know why, but I feel like Mishima and Takuro have a more develloped chemistry than Koh and Azuma, like they have more experiance and/or maturity. From the preview, it look like Wakaba is back... Wut? |

| The Game Continues Koh Catches a ball in a rather Risky Play. xD Akaishi tried so hard to be a badass, and failed horribly. It's Certainly a close game. |
| Argue? Nah Too lazy For That... Are You Ready!~Gulcasa |
| Wow how did the Ryuuou coach get his job? He knows nothing and lets the idiot Shimou do the coaching. |
 |
| That's tooooo good Kou, what is this Kokuro no Basket, is he in The Zone™. Fantastic episode |
