| I'm glad it's back because I missed it. Lol! Nikaidou and Rei on the commentary are doing a great job. |

zeroyuki92 said: Albi-kun said: This reminds me of why Wenger doesn't want to leave Arsenal. Hey, this man actually always holds a title! Yeah. Good point... |
| The somber visuals and music were amazing |
| that second half was goood loved the directing and the dialogues BEAUTIFUL ost at 19:09 |
| Damn, it's been so long it feels like I'm watching a third season. Middle section was directed so well |
| while i don't care much about Saku, it really looks hard to be the oldest player, specially with all the "sashes" he got from others :o |
fav "new" girls from winter <3 (2 extra girls this time, but 36 seasonals so whatever) ... click sig for older seasons and more possible picks |
| I'm not sure who I want to root for more in this match, they both have excellent motivations. |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| Really one of the best episodes of the series so far. I loved the internal struggle of both characters as they both have weight on their shoulders. Really well done. |
| That certainly was a pretty solid episode I must say, especially found that ending great! Looking forwards to see how this match will turn out like. |
 |
| Everyone has their burdens to bear. :( |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| Saku has to go on with all those dreams on his back. |
 |
| Sakura has to fight for the legacy of his old comrades. "I'm still burning"... I expect an amazing ending for the match next episode. Amazing artwork |
 |
| Amazing, amazing! These last couple of episodes have all been that good, and I just keep getting impressed in how they keep coming out this good, while the arcs and focus keeps changing. Haunting and deep, I dunno who to cheer to win the title here, wow. |

| That poster is so bad, lol. I love that Nikaidou and Kiriyama get as much room as the actual players of the match. Kiriyama describing the ovals as someone absent on school picture day is so spot on. The Chairman angrily saying they should have a nurse on standby and a machine measuring their heart rate was hilarious. That is quite the responsibility you need to bear, boys. I can imagine that being quite a demotivator before such an important match, seeing your opponent have such overwhelming support. "And with apologies to the old man, I'm going to end these reunions." B A D A S S. I love that burnt field imagery so much. Yanagihara remembering his past because of Kiriyama and Nikaidou arguing was cute. I never realized Yanagihara had such a depressing past. That's quite a load to bear. What an awful question to ask someone. Doesn't matter if it is right or wrong, you don't waltz up to the elderly and say "So when you lose eventually, are you going to retire then or nah?" That's a lot of pills he was taking. Shimada's teachers came to visit him! Why are Nikaidou and Kiriyama in a room like that? Weren't they supposed to be running the demo board? Wait, how did they get there? Wat? Looks like both of these players have a lot on the line for this match. I obviously want Shimada to win, but whoever wins clearly deserves it. The next episode is going to be great. |
| Ah this episode some perspective of the old man Saku, must have been a bit lonely growing old while comrades quit the competitive shogi world Curious to see who is going to win, Saku earning his eternal status as Kishou or Shimada earning his first title after all his hard work |
 |
| The poster is always hilarious lol they always bully Shimada hahahahaha and the 2 baby boy looks out of place in the poster hahaha Chairman's suggestions is so funny! I'm laughing so hard (*´∀｀） Congratulations Saku, but I hope he retire already, he should rest and relax.. he's too old to be stressful. He played shogi for longest time.. it's better to end it while he has the title than having it steal to him. |
 |
| An incredibly well-made episode x.x I especially loved the music in it, helped lots to set the mood. I wonder what's the name of the song playing during their battle.. |
| Shimada and Sakutarou look like absolute legends this match haha |
 |
| Sakutarou's 'sash' scenes were really amazing, I'm starting to see the justification for the season's weighted score now as it's starting to lean towards a 9 for me. (although I still stand by the notion that season 1 is slightly lesser than what it's weighted score makes it out to be.) |

| How Rei and Harunobu look at the poster.. Just lol.. ;D What will remain after you retire and lose work?.. Hm.. What for you live your life in the first place?.. What do you want from life?.. |
| HOLY SHIT That was one of the most powerful episode for me. Really glad Saku is getting some actual spotlight now! |
 |
| Honestly, I was bored out of my mind in this ep I don't really care about yanagihara and Nikaido. I used to care a bit more about shimada when he was one of the ones in the centre but now it's just boring. I want to see more Kyouko. |
| It’s hard to root for either of them since they both have their own burdens that they’ve been carrying for many years: Saku doesn’t want to relinquish the only title that he has managed to hold on to for over a decade, tying it back to the faith that others have put in him after their own dreams fell flat; Shimada wants to make his own village proud by finally winning a title for their sake while proving himself not to be a failure. |
