| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- The practice session was honestly weird to watch. Between the small talk and plays, I had a hard time taking it seriously at first. Ofc they also throw in some man service this episode lol. Jokes aside, it was an average episode imo for me. Felt more like a buildup for perhaps bigger episodes in the upcoming weeks. Weird cliffhanger. |
 |
| Looks like the guy trying to protect his friend got injured. I guess we're gonna have to look for it. Seiin vs. Fukuho is on the corner. Too bad, accidents happen a lot of times. I hope it won't affect Fukuho's gameplay. As for the episode, it was pretty mid. Nothing more than ordinary build-up for their match. Ngl got bored by the end of the episode. I hope it picks up because there are only 3 eps. left. |
 |
| What a way to end an episode. |
 |
| The greatest ending to an episode ever forged in the entire history of mankind. |
| I swear the plot confuses the protagonist team all the time |
| Of course they're gonna show off rape face Aoki in the nude, lol. He does have the hottest face, although I don't care for his body. Ochi had Subaru sit on his face, but he didn't know the safety word, so Subaru sat on him for too long, and Ochi stopped breathing. This may affect Fukuho's play. |

phantomfandom said: I'd feel the EXACT SAME way, but the victor is clearly Stars Align, how 2.43 paced with various sub-plots just feels so disjointed and disconnected.Is 2.43 trying to compete an unease feeling with Stars Align? Most of the times, it's always from Seiin's POV, now we see from Fukuho's (at least for the 1st half). Subaru's physical situation sure made for some danger aversion of protecting his vitals from internal harm, but other than that, it's pretty much the normal chit-chat and extreme-level training of all the volleyball groups before the next tournament. Trying to have some manservice as an excuse for filler time, but it was also the time that people started to shift away from volleyball (for Aoki and Oda). The "save" moment of Subaru towards the post-credits...Fukuho is in deep trouble for having a player injured (and essentially losing him), pretty ominous indeed. |
 |
| I hope Subaru pull's through all this, not playing for 2 years is such a longtime, especially for serious player as him T^T Kuroba and Ookuma are such a great dramatic duo xD Did Subaru land on Ochi's head and what's with that after scene!? |
| I'm so sorry but that last scene was just hilarious. I know I understand it's some big deal and dude is gonna be hospitalized but pleaseeee it looked so awkward like those top 10 epic fail videos on youtube xDD |

| shitttt Subaru so dummy thicc he literally hospitalized a guy dayumm. rip manager-kun though, probs not what he meant when he wanted someone to sit on his face honestly I thought Subaru's knees would explode which is what would lead Seiin to victory, but now I'm thinking that Subaru's guilt/lack of manager-kun might put them off their game |
 'On-Hold' is another way for a completionist to say 'Dropped' |
| Maybe it wasn't such a good idea throwing snowballs at each other before a big game. Well, Subaru's performance during the game next episode may be difficult to predict now. Will he give a sloppy performance, or will he play a game of a lifetime? |
 |
| Like others, I laughed at the moment where Subaru sent his bf to the hospital by giving him a head injury with the sheer force of his butt. I guess the impact of Suburu falling on Ochi's head as he fell on the snow which might be harder of a surface, could cause an injury, but still, I couldn't take that moment seriously. I'm still so mixed on this anime. I considered dropping it, but what I've been doing is watching two eps at a time by skipping the previous week's ep. It's slightly more enjoyable to watch more than one ep back to back. I'll stick with it to the end I guess. The biggest issues I have with the anime is the pacing being way too damn fast. Which has become more of a problem now that the anime is switching back and forth between both teams. The production quality isn't that great either. the animation is okay during some of the volleyball scenes, but everything else is pretty lackluster. And lastly, the supporting characters have gotten little to no development, it's hard to care about them. I guess I'm rooting for the Seiin team, but everything about this anime is just so "meh" This anime is at least better than two of the other sports anime out this season, Skate Leading Stars and that Wave/surfing anime that I didn't even try to watch because of how mediocre it was. But even as I'm watching it, it's like 50% of me just doesn't care what's happening with the story or characters. |

| they're doing a rly good job on making me like the fukuhou team. too good, since im liking them better than the main team lol. !! spoiler for this ep !! that ending was a bit weak tho.. making it seem like ochi broke his arm or something though i feel like it'll be played off as a joke in the next ep. and if its not, if he rly broke his arm thats so lame lol |

| I like Seiin, but I want Fukuho to win. I can't stop caring about them. |

Short_Circut said: shitttt Subaru so dummy thicc he literally hospitalized a guy dayumm LMFAO. I'm not really sure how Subaru falling on Ochis head in the snow would be so serious he ends up in an ambulance. Seemed so unbelievable I was just laughing oops |
| I see Subaru got a little problem with his knee and looks like its serious enough to be an excuse to let Seiin won his first official Volley-bu tournament. Well, i hope i still got a cool nice between them and Seiin. However, in the other side, Seiin showed their determination by taking their coach orders very dedicated. Chika looked pretty different this time, by getting a nice conversation with his senpai. The day of the match arrived. Something bad happened at Fukuho's school. Their snow play got a casualty at their hands. Fortunately it wasn't Subaru, but that little manager. I wonder if those little touch have a good impact to their match performance? Lets see next, then.... |

I am sure they are gonna make Fukuho lose because of the manager-kun's injury. |

| The show tries hard to push drama and the execution is always hilarious lmao |
 |
| With how the show kept talking about Subaru's knees I just had a feeling something bad will happen, didn't expect Ochi to get sent to the hospital by Subaru's massive cheeks though lmao. That was a nice episode, it didn't feel as rushed as before and we actually got some proper build up. Honestly, either team winning is fine by me but it really do be easy to root for Fukuho. |
 |
| Man, this show's character designs are so ugly.. |
| someone got injured at Fukuho...that means will it demoralize the whole rival team??? 4/5. |
 |
| Both team are doing their last training before the play off match... Damn looks like Ochi broke his arm trying to saving Subaru.. Well this is why playing snowballs before the match is a bad idea... I like the build up episodes like this, so you can either root for Seiin or Fukuho.. |
 |
| Japan's paramedics must have got heaps of free time on their hands ... |
| Seriously, what's with this show and its way to conclude episodes in such dramatic manner? Well, it was being a rather decent episode until the last scene with Ochi making that jump as if the fate of the world depended on it just to save Subaru from falling... on his ass. And why did it have to look so funny tho? I mean, Subaru literally sent his partner to the hospital just because of how hard he sat on his head... like damn, those butt cheeks must be hard as fucking bricks, man. And now of course Subaru will feel bad/guilty and won't be able to play at his best due to this laughable accident. Anyways, at least it seems his knees won't explode after all since Ochi took the "cliche-injury-before-important-match" bullet instead. Seiya said: Ochi had Subaru sit on his face, but he didn't know the safety word, so Subaru sat on him for too long, and Ochi stopped breathing. This may affect Fukuho's play. Short_Circut said: shitttt Subaru so dummy thicc he literally hospitalized a guy dayumm. LMAO I'm crying xD |
| Ochi really got injured like that in the snow.... really xDD imagine if he dies, how weird it would be |
 |
| Lots of training this episode for the upcoming play-offs. Foolish of the Fukuho team to have a snowball fight right before an important match, not too suprised somebody got hurt. |
 |
| Well that looked more dramatic than it should have. |
