| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Very tense match between the two teams. You can see Sora trying his hardest out there and their coach watching closely. I love the usual comical chemistry outside the court though. As tense as this episode is, there's still moments to collectively gather thoughts after the match. Sora has a load on his mind that he needs to focus on including his future. |
 |
| At this point it's kinda funny to watch them get their ass kicked hard. |
 |
| They're done, there's just no way for Kuzu to even reduce the score. |
| No tomo malas decisiones, solo me gusta apoyar causas perdidas. Disfruté Mayoiga, Ou-sama Game, Evil or Live, Mirai Nikki, Big Order, Arifureta, Ex-Arm, Tesla Note, Shuumatsu no Harem y Platinum End nope les falle con esa, lo siento pero todos tenemos nuestros límites. Así de jodido es mi gusto en anime, ¡Y estoy pinche orgulloso de ello!  |
| I don't blame the teachers for walking out in the middle of the game. It's like watching an NBA team full of All-Stars take on a high school team. Kuzu can't even buy a basket when they need it the most and no rebounds means no second chance points for them to make a comeback run. Taiei is just dominating in every aspect of the game and there is nothing that Kuzu can do about it. One of the things that bothers me about Kuzu is that they have no depth in their lineup. They don't have anyone that can sub in for Sora or Kite and give those guys a break for a couple of minutes. |
 |
| I guess this game will take up the rest of the episodes. 50 episodes, and they have only played what? 3-4 games? Is it must me or does the short dude for the other team..the one with the cooler at the end look like Madoka? |

| I like Mokichi but this poor guy is unlucky as hell, I want to see him shine a bit more. The episode was quite boring at some points, by the way. |
 |
| 6 more episodes to reverse the trend : I just want to realize I watched a 50-episodes show where the protagonists actually win a game About this episode, it was pretty much the hurricane in Kuzu High's face... |
 |
| As expected Kuzu is getting overwhelmed! looks like this basketball show is all about pitiful failures! 4/5. |

Who could possibly be their advisor now? 🤔 I liked seeing the Taiei coach give advice to Sora though since he knew his mom. 🙂 |

Whoa, I just realized... Kuzu actually never won a single game in this entire series so far? 😮 They definitely aren't winning this one against Taiei either unless something ridiculous happens. |

Hope he can overcome his endurance problems soon. It's kind of tiring always seeing him get tired out so easily. 😅 |

What the heck happened? 😅 I agree the player at the end looks like Madoka. 😂 |
Dukino said: Nao at the end of the last episode was right. This is getting bad. Kuzu is playing their hearts out with that best lineup but it's still not enough. Taiei is crushing them plain and simple. Pulling away by 20 points in the second quarter? Man, I don't wanna say it's over but, ya know, yeah. If you're down by over 30 points at the half then it's basically over. I don't see these boys as being mountain climbers. To overcome a deficit like that would take perfect play from Kuzu and a complete implosion by Taiei which I don't see happening. Maybe our boys can make it respectable but winning I just don't see it. Even with Mokichi and Tobi out there Kuzu is struggling like no one's business. Can't make any shots, can't get any rebounds, can't stop Taiei from scoring at all. Hyou dunking like a madman was dope tho!! We saw him do it before against Kitasumi but here holy shit he's got hops! Dude can ball and he's not the only one. Their star Sakurai has taken a backseat and the guy Sora is guarding has shown his stuff with those shots. The big man for Taiei named Yakuma nailing that three liking like a unicorn shocked me as much as it did the Kuzu team, don't see that too often. I hope that Sora can rally the troops and those words about his mom don't get to him. Now it looks like he'll be talking to Yozan before the second half begins. If anything, I think they'll score some points, but I definitely don't think they're winning this game either. Yakuma's humility and hard work makes him really likable. I loved watching him nail that three, too! I imagine Yozan and Sora's talk is going to fire up both of them since they're both short but skilled players with something to prove, and the second half will be more interesting than the first half's stomp. |
| Well, if the idea of Kuzu winning was already hard to believe, now it's practically impossible. Yeah, they're screwed. Oh well, at least the team and Nao particularly will learn some pretty important things from this match. |
| welp just when I thought mayyyyybe they have a chance at this game for a change, nope, back to the same old stuff. Take 1 step forward and like 60 steps back. Seriously what was the point of that whole training montage if they're still flopping around like before lmao. but as they always say, the match isn't over until the final whistle so who knows, maybe there will be an omega comeback |
 'On-Hold' is another way for a completionist to say 'Dropped' |
| I'm surprised how many people here actually expected Kuzu to have a chance and are upset over them losing rn. This is exactly how this game should be going imo. It's a start-up team with barely enough to man the court versus a national champion-caliber team (yes, even their second string). This is about where it should be imo, although I think the scores in general are a little high. Kuzu is outcoached and outplayed. The shining light is, however, that while Taiei is ahead, they mostly pulled that lead in a single quarter. If you can stop the leak of points and begin to score your own, you can come back. A three for every two, four points for every three, turnovers, rebounds, etc. Kuzu has twice the time, a whole half, to close the gap. They can do it, theoretically, but it starts with slowing that drain of points for Taiei. Either way, Kuzu SHOULD lose this game, Taiei is simply better. But I would like for them to gain some ground back and at least threaten a comeback. I think that would boost their confidence going into their next game and training circuit. |

| Not sure why people expected a win. They have zero bench and playing a team that's good enough for nationals. The fire in the clubhouse was a mistake. It really slowed down the pacing of the show and doesn't offer up anything to move the story forward other than finding a new advisor who we never really saw in the first place. Just pointless. They should have scratched that entire plot point and done a time skip to a point where they picked up a couple new players and improved as a team. Maybe the following school year. Really enjoy the characters, but I gotta downgrade my score some here from a 7 to 6. 44 eps in and really feel like little progress has been made. |
| I know the basketball plays in this anime are just slide shows, but this one was especially bad. No effort put in the animation at all. It's ironic how a basketball anime is at its worst during a basketball game, but excels at character drama and interaction. Just a weird aspect bad animes have I guess. |

That wasn't Madoka, lmao??? |
| Why would you even become a teacher with such an attitude? Lol. But to be fair, after years of working you might not be the same person you were when you started. Many adults come off as emotionally numb when you meet them in a professional setting. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| This episode just pretty much confirms what we already knew, Taiei team is on another level compared to Kuzuryu. I really wonder how they are going to change the tides (I hope Momoharu can score some points) |
