Diamond no Ace Act II Chapter 52 Discussion

That backstory was needed to explain Koushun's character a little bit it thankfully it didn't take too much time and it was closed off backstory as well (that coach got what he deserved and we don't need to ever return to him ever again).

Now will however is the main meat as, previous tournament aside. After Koshien in which we never seen a good full out game... all we have been waiting for is the summer tournament and the question how the team for that tournament will look like is something that needs an answer.

Still, it's true that it's weird that it's first years vs third years. If I remember correctly last time it was first years vs 2-3 years. I doubt it means that the second years won't get to play so it's either just a little inconsistency or, the second years will be in both teams.

If it second then it might be interesting game if the first then it will be rather one sided massacre with few highlights here and there just like it was year ago.

In the end though, I still think it's not time for first years to join in though. Even if some of them make it, they will be benching it the whole tournament. Who will be next main catcher will be thing to look forward to but if during summer, there will be need for someone to replace Miyuki then it's instant "RIP Seidou".

In this chapter Koushun even agreed that he is not on the high level enough to catch Sawamura's numbers.

I think it would be cool to bench Miyuki in one of the games though, for strategical purposes , heck even a rotation of battery (I hope Koushuu replaces Yui in the first string) and we'll finally graduate from last year's problems of having "we can't win without Miyuki". I hated how everyone seems to think Miyuki is this perfect little prince each and every game. If not that, I would hope Koushuu (since Ono is too inferior to Miyuki to tell him anything and Yui seems too nice) to at least be in the bench in a game and tell Miyuki (or Kataoka) off when he becomes too much in the dugout, which he was in some Summer and fall games.
