It was an alright episode, not as intense as the previous. Looks like the guys are still practicing. I think Eijun is struggling a little more than I had thought.

The bromance moments were awesome. Ah and the team are prepared now. Cool. I can't wait to see them in action again.

My favorite moment from the episode:


LOL. Rip hair.

Sensen versus Seido.
Some of the Sensen players dislike Seido for not being chosen!
Miyuki getting to say two cheesy lines and one with that fist on the heart!
Sensen's coach calling Seido's coach too trusting as a weakness!

Masuko at the end xD Can't wait for the match to start!

LOVE the OST this ep <3

We finally got to see some of Haruichi. It's been forever since he's had decent screentime. I really want to see him play aghhh.

As always, looking forward to some more pitching battles in the next match.
I cracked up so much at the end. That was hilarious :-))

LOL. This break between matches in the manga was funny, but seeing it animated is even better. It was a refreshing episode before the hard matches to come.

And yay, we'll get to see Sawamura's middle school teammates once again!

Ma-Ma-Ma-Ma-Masuk-Masu! XD

Only one episode of down time, I'm glad they're jumping back to the games next episode already. Sounds like Sensen is going to be defense based with their insanely strong pitcher.

Is that the first time the coach has laughed? Oh man Masuko you won this episode.

I loved this breather episode. Good break from all the intense baseball. It was a great way to end this episode too. I think I almost teared up two times in this episode.

I'm looking forward to the upcoming OVAs about the brothers.

Haha Masuko at the end there :) Providing some fun and relaxing atmosphere for the team before their next match! I love how even the the coach was getting into the fun.

Miyuki tells Eijun the truth, that his pitch hasn't gotten faster nor heavier, only the timing is difficult to get. But it's because he holds potential that he's on the first string! At least Eijun didn't let that get him down.

Fun ep especially with Kataouka laughing at Masuko as well XD

Glad that Eijun is back in his hype mode :3

That was good practice. Man Kataoka is OP lol

But I think that was some foreshadowing when Sensen's coach was saying he'll use the over trustful nature of his :( hope nothing bad happens.

And yay! Eijun"s girlfriend is coming to watch :P

I liked this episode. Nice transition. I'm glad they made it short and sweet and now we are on to the next game. It was funny how Tetsu was too ready to bat when the coach was on the mound and that ending! xD lol Tanba made a new friend there.

Considering the length of the Final, I'm guessing that the semi-finals won't go past 2 episodes. They're not gonna be able to fit the entire thing, otherwise.

Best Daiya no Ace episode in quite some time. Isn't it nice to get away from all that testosterone and connect like human beings, good show? :3

Haruichi is best. ♥ Thought I'd miss the Todoroki's but him and his bro more than make up for the loss.

Even the humor is more natural here (with exception of the overused Furuya snooze gag).

More baseball next episode... almost wish Seido would lose so we could get the Tournament out of the way -- not something I should say of a sports series -- so unless Madhouse/I.G. change their ways... (논Д논 )

"What, I'm on a break?" FURUYA YOU BETTER STOP
Miyuki's chest fist bump(≧∇≦)
Man, every time that girl texts Eijun, I get sad because I remember that he left behind all his good friends back in junior high :( LOL! Masuko's accidental hair buzz! When Furuya simply said "Me too." and it affected me, I knew that my love for Furuya is becoming unsightly. I accidentally sped ahead by a minute or so and my facial expression when I saw that I had skipped to a moment of the Kominato brothers talking was pained. I'm nearly about to cry now that they put a flashback, I had to pause so I wouldn't die or something that would inconvenience others. First and last time... Does this mean that Ryousuke is a third year? I was under the impression that he was a second year, or maybe I was lying to myself when the back of my mind kept whispering that he was a third year... Are they going to eat breakfast together? Oh, I think I remember that someone spoiled me once and it ends up in sadness for the two brothers, no, the whole team. Of course I can't say it but... Of course I can't say it buuuuuuut... I should stop catching feelings for anyone that isn't the tenth grader trio. Wait! Scratch that, if there's only 18 that can go to Nationals on the team, Eijun and Haruichi are 19 and 20 so?! Okay. *braces myself* I should stop catching feelings for anyone that isn't number 11, Furuya, right? Haha, I'm joking. The comedy around Masuko's head is delightful o(^▽^)o What's done is done!

Hmm, this grudge against Seidou that didn't invite the player seems a bit silly considering Furuya wasn't invited too but still tested into the school, and it's not like he's the smartest guy as we saw in one of the episodes. Of course, it's easier to blame someone else than to do whatever possible for your wish.

Thank you, coach, for appreciating Eijun.

They didn’t invite you, but you could apply? Satoru, aka Furuya, did that.

Also, I’ve been using Satoru instead of Furuya because I like his first name more lol

Masuko is a baldy too lmao
