Team V makes Team Z look like massive underdogs in this, given how tough they are.

This episode imo, was both intense for the pacing and momentum. Even with the odds against them, I like how Team Z makes a comeback in what seemed like an almost impossible obstacle. Not a fan of Team V but that Zantetsu (the glasses guy) is impressive.

Yeah that good ol’ introduction
>He’s a Ba.. Bakemono!!!
>What we mere mortals can do in front of this omnipotent?!?!
Et cetera, et cetera. I mean anyone can picture their facial expressions, this trick is that damn old lol.

Though with 3-0 down, and already looking like a bunch who gave up a long time ago. Bachira came in and shifted the momentum for team Z like no one, like dude owned the entirety of team V with such ease. And no surprises that one goal fuelled the making of another, with Kunigami scoring diminishing the difference to a lone goal.

Though wait, we still didn’t have anything from our protag, right? Well of course dude thinks too much in his head instead of applying the same on the field, moreover again got questioned about his abilities from an opponent. Kinda developing a knack at this point lol. Though if anything I feel for the goalkeepers, just there to witness the drama.

Team Z caught up, 3-3 now. Also VAR-san.. Yellow card?

Now that Japan has beaten Spain and Germany. Let's see if our boys from Team Z can beat their opponents. But, Nagi is a big problem. That overhead kick was so good. But, not just him, all of our team was being countered by one of theirs. But, Bachira was so cool there with his goal that he reignited the fire in the boys.

Ichigo with a super goal made them 3-2 by halftime. And, thanks to Chigiri, we are equal in the end 3-3. Chigiri really is a speed demon. The boys are playing well.

Now I know why Animage choose Bachira on front page cover alongside with Isagi. I find it hard to ship Isagi when there are so many shipping potential characters, so Bachira might be a good start.

I still think a cooperation with Kuon is required to win this match.

I'm wondering if Team Z goalkeeper, Iemon, will unleash his potential in this match or not. This guy is too comfortable playing a goalkeeper, but I bet there'll be a situation that force him to be a striker.

Bachira's incredible. What a monster. He has the right mentality and woke everybody up from that brief despair. And now Team Z has begun to awaken. So excited to see what Isagi will do to take it to the next level.

Nagi's just too big a skill difference. Done 0-3, but plot has to save the team. Kunigami played extremely well, same goes for Chigiri.
A comeback is possible.

Yes of course, because god forbid we have an anime without people forcibly creating relationships between the characters that make literally no sense within the context of the show.

The ultimate team, with ultimate players, and right now, there is one: Team V's Nagi Seishiro.

Team Z is being pressed hard, and whatever tactics they have, Team V easily condenses it to their advantage. Only one person remains: Bachira, who can help lead the team out of trouble, by playing his own formula to help score a super special goal of the impossible. Which in this case, it's his dribbling.

With 65 mins to go, Team Z is revived thanks to Bachira, and everyone is working like footwork altogether to score goals, like the 2nd from Kunigami before the halt for half-time. Once everyone is back from their rest to the 2hd half, things get harder as each person utilizes their weapons...that is everyone except Isagi, who has yet to realize his awakening.

With the score tied at 3-3, the one to become the world's best striker...is the one that dominates the match. Intense, yet even more exciting.

Bachira has the best ball handling skills on Team Z and his goal was able to rally Team Z out of a three goal deficit to tie things up. Will Isagi score the game winning goal as time runs out?

RIP to Team USA being knocked out of the Round of 16 and I'm pulling for Japan to advance to the quarterfinals by beating Croatia.

3/5

A step up from last few episodes in all honesty but still nothing too extravagant. I'm fairly enjoying this game more than any other games before it and the animation is not as terrible as previous episodes surprisingly

I was itching for some Bachira shine since he's my favorite character so far and boy it was satisfying. I also loved the inclusion of various football skills like roulette, elastico, scorpion kick during this episode. Bachira's animation choreography was decent and exceeded my pre-conceived expectations. Most of the animation throughout this episode was good even the CGI bits. The still shots remain my major criticism for this show and some of it continue to look goofy

Chigiri had his shine too and so did the Orange haired guy. Isagi is still a bit annoying for me rn but I can see a major shine coming his way in possibly the next episode, which im excited about. Please tell me our no. 10 guy does something cool in near future because that jersey number demands something glorious, if not than it's wasted

This was the first time I found myself craving for more after I realized the episode had ended. Can't wait for the next week

So far, this is my favorite episode. Bachira's roulette to rainbow animation was clean af and that rabona goal was fire. Hyped to see how the match ends in the next episode now that Isagi is the only one left to score. Hopefully Team Z wins. 🤞

How is intentionally elbowing your opponent who doesn't even have the ball not a red card?

Also the OST on this show is just amazing.

So I guess it's time for Team Z to reinvent themselves. I still don't buy Ego's philosophy behind the match but it's anime so whatever.

PS: Rip "soccer" or whatever they call it there, today football/futbol prevailed in the World Cup.

It went from 1-0 to 3-0 real quick.

Bachira isn't about to give up when he releases his inner demon and this man goes full mode, scoring Team Z an awesome goal by his dribble skills.

Kunigami & Chigri follow along and both of them play awesome and score 2 more goals.

We also get see some Ego and the woman screentime where Ego explains everything.

With 3-3 now they are tied, Ego still reflects on Isagi as Ego said that there's only one top striker and that's presumably Isagi, Isagi is for sure gonna do some incredible skill moves to let the team go to victory.

What an cliffhanger though, ending the episode on 3-3.

Also how did that fool not get an red card for elbowing Raichi, bruh.

What an incredible episode. Even with 3 goals behind, Bachira didn't feel anything else but excitement of playing against such monsters. This allowed him to surpass his limits and created a whole new situation for Team Z, which made everyone believe in themselves again. Kunigami scoring way out of his shooting range or Chigiri passing to himself and outrunning the, as he thought, fastest player in Block 5 Zentetsu.

Raichi can definitely get on your nerves, but the way he's defending against Reo is topnotch. I guess now it's up to Isagi to find his limit breaker which will bring him onto the next level. The best part about Chigiri's equaliser goal was to see Kuon's stunned face, because he couldn't understand what was going on.

I'm so looking forward to next week. I'm sure this will become even better.
