| Sasaki is creepy AF, he gives me the douche chills. |
| Quality Queen. |
| Was to be expected that Sawamura would struggle in his first match as a Ace. I'm not worried at all, tho, Seidou is most likely going to win anyway, but Sawamura hopefully grows due to this experience. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Imagine getting subbed out for Kawakami, that has got to be the worst feeling in the world lmao. |
killerqueen2000 said: I feel like Aod fans really don't get how realistic this series actually is or they are just too biased. Always felt that. Did people actually expect Sawamura to smoothly sail through all his matches? Even real life professional athletes feel the pressure and self destruct let alone a high school player. Sports is not only about the physical side of things but also mental. but go on, keep whining about how realistic it is lol. We all want Eijun to do well but keep bias aside. There are also other factors like Sawamura literally becoming the ace for the first time ever. Do people forget that Sawamura subbed in for Furuya the first time Furuya was ace as well? and that wasnt even the summer tournament! The fact that Sasaki is a mastermind on knowing what the opponent is thinking and Sawamura's character being so unselfish, carrying the dreams of the team on his back contributes as well. If anything, I'm glad this happened now so Sawamura can get back on track mentally next time. We don't care what real life athletes do. If we wanted real life we would watch MLB. This is an anime... where the premise and the focus is the development of the main character, and after all this time the show is just not delivering. |

Then the realism just isn't appealing to you which means you are biased. It does not justify people saying it is "bad" unless theres a logical argument behind why its bad. oh but theres non, except salty fans angry that Eijun isn't dominating and becoming a god just because he has a the number. It doesn't work that way. Mei and Furuya have both been through problems as ace and NOT even in their first games. Is underperforming the only thing that can happen in that situation at sports? Definitely Not. Some people are unaffected, some just don't care, some turn the pressure into strength. Storming through the match with an outstanding performance would have been realistic too. And most people would have loved it. |
| I'm absolutely convinced that some guy slept with the author's girlfriend in the past, and that guy's name was Sawamura. And now this is the author's revenge. There's no other explanation to an MC getting screwed over this many times. There are so many ways to create conflict, but the author constantly falls back on his old tricks when it comes to Sawamura. |
| Good decision making from the coach sawamura was falling apart. Let's Hope he's going to Come back |

This literally made me die laughing xD I agree though, don't know why all the build up since the very first episode of season 1, if it doesn't pay off when he's the ace. Just bad writing overall tbh h1soka said: killerqueen2000 said: Then the realism just isn't appealing to you which means you are biased.

And most people would have loved it. So much this. Underperforming seems to be the only tension that the mangaka can think of and it's seriously repetitive at this point. Most people want to see Sawamura shine and there's nothing wrong with allowing the protagonist to have his moment, especially when we had to wait nearly 7 years for it. |

Lmao this is accurate i feel ya, as a manga reader when this chapter hits, im so tired of the author pulled out this shit again and again like he had grudge towards Sawa or smth lol... like it doesn't make any sense... how the hell Sawa still choke after all the experience he has been through? he had a strong mentality that make him overcome yips!. |
| I'M SOFT FOR SUPPORTIVE SATORU 🥺 |
| Incredibly disappointing after all this time to see Sawamura finally become Ace and choke this hard in his first game. |
 |
| Eijun is too worked up, he need to get his sh*t together. I hope its the case of Kawakami being sent to say a message instead of actually switching. |
 |
| This is just getting on my nerves. It feels like Eijun is a completely different person. It’s like all the growth we have seen just disappears when the author wants it to. He has become a mature player, making his own calls, and now all of that is completely gone. This author just loves to take the spotlight away from Eijun in his most important moments. |
 |
| Damn bruh why can’t Sawamura just dominate now that he’s the ace. After all that buildup. AFTER 170+ EPS OF BUILDUP XD I sorta wanna blame the author but I shouldn’t lol Ah well, only a few eps to go. Hopefully I don’t finish this season with a sour taste in my mouth! |
