Ooh Eijun still making a strong presence on the field.

The entire crowd got fired up (why shouldn't they be?) Good match as usual. I guess their coach's motivation speeches really worked lol. The ending though..I smell a comeback.

F***! Kuramochi couldn't make it D: This is gonna be tough asf! Tojo or Haruichi need to hit one serious hit or else Seido's screwed T^T

Gotta love how Coach Todoroki was sweaty and nervous as hell lol. He's such a fun coach.

And Eijun just going in no stops has been amazing this match. And man I love Wakana way too much. She's so cute and her blush after she sent that message was so adorable <3
I need more of her and it's awesome to see that Eijun really keeps sending her everything in detail OTP <3

Damn i sorta wish we could have seen more of his pitching instead of the music cue haha.
Oh well.

Still badass, and this feels like a remake of the last finals game vs Inashiro, except the other way around.

The next episode name "just you wait". Boy that's what I'm doing. I'm riled up for the next episode after just finishing this highly tense one.

Kuramochi didn't make it :( Damn. If Seido don't score this inning they're done for.

Wakana's blush was really cute :3

I love it when the coaches give their motivation speeches, Both Kataoka and the Yakushi coach are especially good at them.

I wanna see a homerun next episode XD

Too bad he didn't get on base.
Sawamura is a genius lol, I know it's not the first time calling Kuramochi like that but he really knows when to make his chants.
Too bad he's that oblivious about Wakana's crush on him.

That was quite the valiant effort by the bottom of the lineup to be able to bat like that.

Now for Tojo, Haruichi and most likely seeing Miyuki to also get to bat. It really is a now or never moment which just makes it harder to wait for the next episode.

Liked how despite it being a tough moment for both teams, there are zero panic going on, in fact it fuels both teams to become very aggressive.

i'm putting my trust on tojo and haruichi to do something great next week--and maybe miyuki (hope his injury won't get in the way though.)

so yeah...

Lol for real, Eijun's chants are hilarious. Sucks that Kuramochi didn't get on base though, baseball is really a combination of skills and luck. Hopefully Toujou will get on base, and then Harucchi make it a miracle for the team. Let the underclassmen show off their skills :)

Nice screentime for Asou too this episode. Not really one of my favorites since he's loud but not in a fun way like Eijun, but we got to see more of his struggles and motivation. He wants to be praised and seen, but he also realized that everyone else is working just as much, if not even more.

Coach Todoroki did a great job with that talk, it's definitely more his style to just be honest about being nervous. Way to hype the team up.

Fuck im so nervous..... But I have hope because the way it's set up, looks like Miyuki's finally gonna get a hit in the clutch! But then who closes out the game??? Does Sawamura, or will Furuya come in and steal Sawamura's thunder....

Eijun is just adorable with his cheers! I also love the way he talks to Kataoka kantoku. It always makes me giggle. Go Seido! I am once again getting my hopes up that you could win this with Yakushi! Miyuki-senpai, I'm counting on you. Onegai!! =^=

Is it possible that they will go the 10th inning with Yakushi?

Furuya hasn't pitched yet, so it's the most likely outcome, I'd say. Would be just like the last time Seido played against Yakushi too. The ace comes on having recovered from his injury (mostly in this case) to finish the job.

I'm pretty sure Seido will win even if I wanted Yakushi to win as I like this team. Both Seido and Yakushi are great, though.

Wakana is crushing on Sawamura but he's oblivious for now. I wonder if he will return her feelings someday. I personally prefer Haruno but I think Wakana will most probably be the one.

Yeah good point, never really took into account the possibility of extra innings. But with the way things are going that little scenario i mentioned seems plausible.

I'm not sure how I would feel if Furuya gets to have the spotlight. Eijun is working really hard and performing even better.

you know what would be the most shag situation for seido?

> scores more than 1 run and take the lead in the 9th
> furuya comes in to close the last inning
> give up tying run
> game goes into extra inning but seido gg because furuya can only pitch 1 inning
> ggwp get rekt

I am going to be so so so disappointed if Seido lost despite me liking the entire Yakushi lineup too. Too much for Seido to lose 2 majors in a row.. Non-manga reader here..

Surprise surprise from Dia, that was absolutely adorable with Wakana. Lol @ the text message, Sawamura's in his own little world.

I really liked that moment when Aso saw Maezono training. Just a reminder that the people who stand at the top work that much harder.

Have to be honest, I'm really nervous now. As soon as Kuramochi got out, that sinking feeling from season 1's battle with Inashiro came back full force. Toujo's bringing it on, the outcome is so uncertain that it feels like praying would have an actual impact on it.

I can see at least one of the next two get on base and Miyuki getting the game-winning/tying at-bat. Hopefully game-winning :)

So according to MAL this is ending in 3 episodes?

Yes, ANN had an article about it, and the broadcasting schedule for the series also stops at episode 51.

I think we're around chapter 400 right now, and there's a total of 412 chapters for part 1 of the manga, so I guess it makes sense they're ending it here. I didn't realize how much the anime has caught up :(

Wakana so in love with Sawamura too bad he is dumb xD Hmm I'm curious of Sawamura's reaction when he read that text soon. If he blushing he might interested to her too haha. So, in the manga they are together not? (Don't have time to catch up with manga) Spoiler please xD

Ninth inning, here we go! I don't really like Furuya, but he's also part of the team. So, Ganbatte Furuya!
