Lol, Sawamura gets teased in his sleep. Priceless.

At least we got some gameplay this episode on the field. This show only has a few more episodes left but players are keeping up with their shape. Sawamura was fucking priceless to watch this episode tbh.

The moment when Nori talk to Miyuki make me think very hard on why everyone think it's special. It's not like this is the first time they talk together, but in teenagers there will be time when you just stop talking to some of your friend(s) or some of your friend(s) stop talking to you with or without any reason. But for the team to make it to Koshien, everyone need to be united and put aside all the conflict that is not shown in the main story.

Damn I'm really nervous. I hope Eijun can pitch his best in the game. He was looking really tense in this episode and Furuya seemed like he was getting ready to support Eijun if he messes up in the game.

He would pitch all night if they don't stop him.

And after that teasing, we never got to see Sawamura's reaction to discovering he's been pranked. Even though they included a manga panel of it at the very end. Big boo.

With 7 episodes left.... will we see one game stretched out a lot or will they skip several? Not read the manga so I don't wanna spoil the story for myself, but... I'm curious about the generic layout.

C'mon Sawamura, don't let that number weigh you down!! I'm confident that he will give an inspiring start to their first game in the series.

Also... I REALLY wanted to see the #1 drawing on his back get shown in the baths. I would have cracked up lol

Would've loved to see the reactions of others seeing the no.1 drawing on his back hahahaha.

Also excited to see sawamura's debut as ace, i hope he don't get too tense and mess up his first game, or maybe stress around it a little then overcome it and show everyone his strength would be quite nice too. As long as he don't weigh himself down with the ace number too much.

Sawamura is feeling the pressure of being the ace. It's only natural, but it is a bit worrying since that coach seems to be great at reading players, and he is sure to strike where it hurts if Sawamura shows any opening. Thankfully Miyuki is also quite cunning, and will most certainly be able to be a step ahead of him when making his calls. Or at least prove difficult to be read. Oh, and the episode had some nice little moments, like Sawamura and Furuya's interaction with Raichi and Sanada. Mei's thoughts about Furuya. Kuramochi scribbling the number one on Sawamura's back after he went to sleep with his uniform on. Kawakami being assertive and asking Miyuki to catch for him... It was also poignant though. The third years are getting along well, but their shared time is almost over. It's sad and it pressures Sawamura further. All I can do is hope for the best, but I'm probably going to cry one way or another though. Seidou isn't the only team I care about after all. Oh, and I loved Chris-senpai's message. xD

I'm feeling the pressure on Sawamura as if it were on me & I'm hella anxious for him - the preview for the next episode doesn't make it better at all.

On one side I wanna stop watching from here on out because I don't think I'm ready for what's to come yet,
on the other side I just wanna go along with the rest of the season & finish it...

They are jinxing him alot.
Let's hope Sawamura will be able to pitch how he usually do.

Anyone know who is the VA for Eijiro Sasaki? Sounds really familiar but I don't remember from where.

Kinda late, but it’s Nakata Jouji. And I mean I dunno which anime you watched ofc, but some of his characters are Alucard from Hellsing, Kotomine from the Fate universe, Baki from Naruto and Hai no Me from The ancient magus bride, so you might know the voice from one of those.

I remembered it right it was Nyanta's VA from log horizon.

High expectations and pressure on Eijun as ace, now hoping things just as Ochiai says doesn't go south.

We've seen a lot of "things going south" that I'm traumatized now. I trust Eijun but I still feel anxious for him. :')

It'll be tough, but he'll break through! That's the kind of man he is! :D

Oh man, I’m not liking the vibes I’m getting from this episode. It just feels like Eijun is going to mess up because he’s pushing himself too hard. 

Chris we miss you!! I hope we see him soon.

Even a text message from the goat Chris-senpai makes the episode worth it
