| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Oh man, Sawamura has a bit of attitude after the game. The match itself is about winning, quite fitting for the direction of the game. On the other hand, Inashiro's lineup still looks very deadly with some of their star players. Definitely a team to keep an eye on. |
 |
| Poor Sawamura is feeling frustrated. The coach should've definitely put him in much sooner. Losing isn't surprising after giving up 5 runs in one innings. I'm looking forward to Inashiro playing against Teitou. |
 |
| The coach was the one who lost the game, we all know this. |
 |
| Eijun really showed class in this match. Too bad they still lost , I mean Furuya gave 5 runs in one innings and Kataoka really waited long time to switch him. Kataoka really made a bad decision there. It cost em the match. |
 |
| I liked how they showed Mei above Miyuki past game. Damn this precious Sawamura moment when he hit ball! he was so good in this episode. I hope that after game between Inashiro and Teito we will have some moments in Seido dorms and training grounds. I want to see how guys react to this loss. |

| Missing Summer Koshien again lol. Thanks Kataoka. BTW, the cherry on the top was Zono fucking up, like usual. |
 |
| It was wayyy too obvious that they would lose tbh. Of course, the author would save Inashiro vs Seido for the summer tournament. But man, this season has nosedived in terms of art and animation. 4/5 for the episode. |

| Well... of course they lost. All because the coach was stupid enough to leave Furuya in the game for so long even though it was clear he was playing extremely badly. Seriously. Good job. Sawamura is right to be frustrated. It's so unfair. I'm surprised he managed to get on base at least twice though. |
| for a moment I thought Sawamura was going to hit a home run XD |

seikanyuuki said: for a moment I thought Sawamura was going to hit a home run XD kind of like the Bartolo Colon home run play of the century xD |
  |
| i like amahisa lied back attitude when he's pitching " he look like he may be a strong fighter" XD My boy sawamura making miracles, they were even scared of him the second time at bat and walking him lmao He seems really frustrated and is not sitting with the team. hopefully this lose will improve all of them for the summer tournament |
 「 To other people, I might not have changed at all, but I feel like I was able to change... 」 |
| Sawamura's batting was awesome! and the crowed being surprised was funny xD. Sawamura seems angry! sitting away from everyone else and he s damn right! Another shitty animation as expected why do their teeth always seem closed when they talk (talking about amahisa and coach) . |
| I love that Sawamura consistently pitched to the end and didn't concede any runs. His frustration is understandable though. I really hope coaches will start to consider him as a candidate for the role of ace soon. Also, DID WE JUST SEE SAWAMURA ACTUALLY HIT SOMETHING AT BAT? |
| Awesome signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| This outcome was inevitable, but damn, if they would've started with Sawamura. |

| Nooo, they lost. Where's my Shounen comeback? T.T Real shame that they lost, Sawamura played like a champ even hitting the ball but they couldn't make anything happen. :( I hope they can do well in the Summer tournament. :( Interested in seeing how the characters are gonna react to this loss. |

BTW, the cherry on the top was Zono fucking up, like usual. its spring koshien. summer is an entirely different tournament and is the more competitive one. Wasn't Spring Koshien the Koshien in which Furuya lost against Hongo? I thought that was the Invitational, which I supposed was the Spring Koshien (less competitive... since Yakushi was there as well...). Edit: I'm confused. They just played Spring Koshien... and now the played the qualifiers for... Spring Koshien again? What? Can someone help me with the Two-Koshiens-and-respective-qualifers calendar, please. |

| Sawamura was amazing. His pitching was at its best, and even his batting was great. So it hurts a lot that no one was able to send him home. It also hurts that he had to feel frustrated like that, about the difference in treatment between the ace and the relief pitcher. Kataoka admitted his mistake, and Furuya also said to those reporters that he was the one who lost, but all of this feels weird since it's over for now. Amahisa trying to strike a conversation with Sawamura, and trying to learn the secrets of his pitching while he was still dealing with all this was rude and annoying too, but the way he even asked him for his LINE ID was somewhat endearing. I guess it means he recognized him as a worthy pitcher, but well. Now it's time to root for Mei, and it seems that the next goodbye is already coming. Only three months, huh. It still feels like Chris-senpai and the others just graduated, and now this. ;-; |

Can someone help me with the Two-Koshiens-and-respective-qualifers calendar, please. yes spring koshien is invitational. and this tournament is spring tokyo metropolitan tournament (a prefectural tournament), this tournament used to qualify for kanto tournament, iirc, finalist qualify for kanto tournament, and semifinalist and finalist of invitational also able to participate in kanto tournament if they're from kanto region. after kanto tournament, then there's gonna be west tokyo tournament (summer koshien qualifier, only winner can participate in summer koshien in west tokyo) |
| Thanks for the help, guys. It's a confusing calendar, to say the least. |
|
| The thing I liked the most this episode was how interested Amahisa Boy was in Sawamura. Looking forward to the aftermath of this tournament at the dorm. The Summer qualifier is gonna be great. Judging by the preview, other Seido catcher will finally have their chance to shine. Okumura x Sawamura might come sooner than I anticipated. |
| Another great episode. I always wonder how the pitchers were able to swing their bat so well even without much practices. I remember there were quite a few other times where a pitcher was able to land a good hit while their teammates were struggling to do so. After all, the batters swing their bats every single day, and spend most of their times looking at balls flying towards them. It's weird to see them being outperformed from time to time, and wasn't by sheer luck, but their capabilities. I think Miyuki falls into this category too (since he spends most of his time catching pitches). Would be great if someone can enlighten me, and if this is normal IRL too? |

| Well ofc i'd be angry too if i was Sawamura, in fact i was so proud he finally show his frustation, if it was him performed badly like that, he'll be subbed out in no time and the team will shit on him like always, even with Sawamura carried the game (like he always do) by making a hit, all of his teammates suddenly look surprised... roflmao this team is a joke. t_tomodachi22 said: And my mans Miyuki better show Sawamura the RESPECT he deserves (since he seems to have realized Sawamura's attitude change at the end of the episode when Sawa didn't even sit with the team), or we're gonna have to get divorced! Honestly after more than a year with Sawa's and he still showing doubts like that, i think he didn't even deserve Sawamura at all, meh... just abandon him, graduate already and Sawa better make a battery with the new first year. |

True. I have been following this manga for 10 years now and this favoritism for Furuya has been a constant since it appeared in the manga. I understand that he is a "monster", but Sawamura for better performance than Furuya was treated really like crap. Even some of his teammates, after the friendly against Yakushi, wondered what he was doing in the Seidou. Furuya instead can suck as much as he wants, he is always Ace-sama |
killerqueen2000 said: The order goes like this: Spring tournament => Kanto tournament=>Summer tournament=>Summer Koshien=>Fall tournament=>Jingu tournament=>Spring Koshien Then, according to this order, all 3rd-year player gonna retired after summer koshien and new team gonna play for fall tournament...I don't know whether Terajima sensei gonna draw until Sawamura is in his 3rd year.... (I really wish he draws until Sawamura is in college and meets Chris senpai then they form a battery with him or something.. but knowing how sensei like to torture Sawamura... I don't know whether I should hope for college arc or not.... it will be more hype if Sawamura and furuya is in different college and have a match with each other, hahaha) |

| "It's only us pitchers who can prove for all to see that your gamecalling' choices ain't wrong, yeah?" Sawamura to Okumura before their first official practice game as a battery. |
| When Eijun hit the pitch, I got teary eye! He deserves to be the ace now. Give the #1 to him already!!!!!!!!! Eijun is so good now! I'm impressed on his improvement!!! They LOSE again?!!!!!!!! |
 |
| caught up with the anime, just rewatching again because of Sawamura's badass pitching Sawamura finally hit one!!! That W O A H by everyone lmao I love characters who respect and are interested with Sawamura haha Amahisa boy is funny, he even exchanged lines with him.

Furuya instead can suck as much as he wants, he is always Ace-sama this is such a mood hahaha exactly my thoughts ;-; I know Furuya didn't mean any harm but it's frustrating that they are clearly favoring him even though Sawamura is doing his best. |
| Our boy Eijun was on fire in both pitching and batting, too bad the rest of his team wasn't and also Kataoka basically threwing this match by not switching Furuya who kept messing up. |
 |
| Oh my gosh, even Eijun knows he would’ve been immediately subbed out if he did what Furuya did. This is too much. Don’t let it get to you right now, tho Eijun What just happened, haha, that was surprising. Why do all the batters start playing terribly when Eijun is subbed in. YOSH YOSH YOSH! Kosei is extremely troublesome, Seido’s batters are having a hard time with his pitches. I’m glad Eijun kept on pitching very well even though they lost unfortunately. They could’ve easily won if they started Eijun and ended the game with Furuya, but what’s done is done. I’m glad the coach is acknowledging his mistake. Haha he wanted his line too that was an interesting interaction between two pitchers. Oh woah he’s sitting by himself, he’s really pissed. |
 |
| Really liking Eijun atm. Great episodes I’m sorta glad the team lost tbh |
