A somewhat breather episode compared to the others.

I'm actually really glad they're giving time for Hinomaru and Reina to spend some time together. Reina isn't easy to get along with but at least they have some common interests. That bath scene was priceless though lol

Even Reina can a bit girly sometimes~

I was not expecting Reina bath scene

Hinomaru is worried I hope nothing bad happens

This episode didn't feel intense except the part with the fight a calm episode

I didn't expect him to pass the test like this, lol.

Shunkai is so likeable so far (old men in sports or shounen in general are just awesome) and I love how passionate he is about Hinomaru. This seems like the start of a great relationship.

This anime needs more attention. No other words needed.

I thought that they were going to change the opening, because they have already chose it.
I mean, I love Fire Ground, it was one of my favourite openings from 2018, but I wanted to see the new one. Kaze Ga Tsuyoku Fuitaeru already changed it after the hiatus, btw.

Great episode.

Loved Hinomaru's training and that win at the end was so satisfying.
Reina bath scene. <3

why so few comments!
it was an awesome episode!
old man trained Hinomaru to think of thousand ways to execute his technique!
and not only that! he won against "odenta"
and of course even if Hinomaru lost against a current high level yokozuna at least he was able to feel the real deal of being overpowered!
5/5!

Pretty nice episode, I like Tenma but it was really satisfying to see Hinomaru beat his ass. I hope we'll soon see Shidô though, maybe next episode we'll have him + a new opening~

A good episode and I loved that Ushio beat that Afro guy, and pretty quickly, too, because that dude was a straight up cocky prick. He needed to be humbled.

I'm glad they didn't change the OP like usual when the second cour starts. I really love that intro song.

I wish Ushio didn't go with Reina but with Hori, I just love her than Reina. I feel like the series is pushing them together even they have zero chemistry. Anyway, this was a good episode and I'm glad he perfected his technique well.

I'm really glad he defeated than guy, I didn't like him.

I prefer HinoXHori but whatever.

It's about time this show came back, and it came back with a bang. Hinomaru gets mocked again and then rises to the challenge.

Inter high, bring it on.

The episode started slowly but man, those last minutes definitely made up for it. I was so excited when Hinomaru did his now perfect technique. Not to mention that the image of the thousand demons capturing Hikage was so cool, being honest.

All in all, a very entertaining episode.

P.S.: With so many scenes of guys doing Sumo, those bath scenes with Reina and Chizuko were absolutely welcomed :D

What is with this trope of a character not using a smartphone or being unaware of inescapable technology in current year? It is so weird and doesn't make the character unique at all, plus it is being done in a lot of anime and manga.

Also, why is Reina with Hinomaru? It should have been Hori instead because she actually likes him. Just looked like a weird writing decision but whatever.

Hinomaru is definitely getting better, and he even managed to beat Tenma!

He couldn't beat the current Yokozuna of course, but that's to be expected. Just for Hinomaru to step in the ring with him was an honor that most don't get. If Hinomaru ever wants to be able to beat him, he'll have to train for a long time to get there.

Did not expect that the training was for Ushio to change his mindset, at least his small self managed to throw Tenma over him

Ushio even got short match against the current yokozuna, his chances on the highschool competition have gone up
