Dude this was insane. Barou finally understood what it feels like to be a loser. He let his inner demons lose and became a beast. The evolution of Barou. That was so sick. They better pick Chigiri!!!

a little flashback for King's childhood, and he looked literally the same, eyes, hair, expression, stance, etc

barou plays soccer not because he likes it but because he likes to destroy people's dreams lol now that he is feeling the same thing, i'm sure he isn't enjoying it

Barou took the starting ball and went straight for a shoot, which didn't work, but everyone went in the offensive and didn't let others play
barou running to the ball, but red is faster, oh no, Barou has to do a shoot from outside his best range
instead of that, he got intimidated by Isagi's spirit and passed him the ball... this is where Barou really broke down lmfao everyone was looking at him with surprise
meanwhile Isagi using Barou's words agains't him once again, that's the funniest shit ever

some flashbacks to past episodes, where Barou kept calling Isagi bad, and saying he would crush him... just for this episode to happen a few days later

it's 4-4 and the final play is coming, what to do? stop Isagi? but they can't leave the other 2 alone lol
but first, they have their own chance with a kick off
everyone is thinking about Chigiri's speed, it's the strongest weapon in that team

the plan was to put Isagi on Reo and force him to do a strange pass, where Nagi went and stopped that pass, a big gamble but they trusted their plan
the lost ball was caught by BArou, and he is now looking at the other 2 and thinking about how his team mates felt until now, always passing him the ball and being happy about it
"we can win with my pass? that's what soccer is?" lol they told you that much 100x of times already this game

when he was about to pass, his future flashing before his eyes, he refuses to be a drunk man watching Isagi playing on the tv lol
mad as hell, he went with some strange fast dribbling with a 90 degree, easily passing through Kunigami lmao
Reo tried to predict what he was gonna do, but Barou hid behind Isagi's light, confusing everyone and going to the goal alone, refusing to be reduced to a supporting role, he kept running, and it's done, goaaaaaaaaaaaaaal
welcome back, awakened king

Barou was annoyed enough to grab Isagi's shirt and tell him to take back the donkey part, which Isagi did pretty fast lol Nagi coming from behind and throwing them down, oh my, how dare you throw the king on the floor like that? hahaha

explaining how he turned villain during that game to score the final game, Barou told Isagi that he won't lose again... oh he called his name? better call Nagi by his name too lols

Ego's talking about the defeat and how to use it, not by keeping some hope for the future, but by acting on that dispair and fighting to catch that dream right away

now, the 3 defeated guys are feeling the same dispair, who will get picked? if i had to say, ojou-sama would probably be the easiest choice, but will need to watch the next episode to know that

lastly, Anri's packed as hell schedule, from doing yoga, to waking Ego, to cleaning his room, to study football, to check players healthy conditions, to writing reports, geez lmao
she wanted Ego to eat something other than cup noodles, but he had to destroy her food by putting a ton of mayonaise on top of it lols

Decent episode. We got some Barou shine which was expected but not too keen on how it all transpired and what it means for his character going forward

Love how Barou was Isagi's bitch for a moment there. He really needed to be taken down a peg but in the end, the lesson was fruitful. There were some bizzarely drawn stills which looked too off-putting sometimes. Animation was pretty janky and all over the place for even the highlights of the episodes. Speaking of which, the Barou redemption was good...? I guess but it was already established that he always was competitive from the beginning and throwing that on as his supposed "awakening" just comes off as cheap writing and rather moot at this point. But I digress. I'm atleast happy he can work with both Nagi and Isagi now ... Hopefully!!

The cliffhanger was kinda NOT COOL at the end but I gotta say, even after being disappointed a bit... I can't stop watching. We're approaching the climax of season 1 so very excited for what they have in store for us in the last leg of this season

Giving a power-up rather than character development is very much like BL. At least, it was very satisfying to hear Isagi calling him a donkey.

Esse anime parece até que melhora a cada episódio. Essa partida foi muito boa. Eu achei que nesse episódio seria para finalizar a partida e eles iriam descansar. Mas eles fizeram esse episódio especialmente para vermos a evolução do Barou na obra.

O diálogo do Ego foi tão legal. Não ficou aquele papo de "só em contos de fadas pra isso acontecer". Parecia até uma mensagem do criador da obra que foi colocada como indireta apartir de sua opinião. E o que ele falou me convenceu.

O Isagi mostrou que mesmo que ele evolua, ele sempre será esse cara mó legal que conhecemos. Aceitou o Barou como adversário a altura e ficou de boas com ele. Só foi meio zuado ele querer dar o nome para o "golpe" novo do Barou como se fosse da equipe (foi feito estando na mesma equipe, mas né). O Nagi Seichiro também mostrou ser um cara mó de boas também.

O Barou mesmo parece que ficou mais legal. A gente já cria um certo respeito quando o Isagi chama ele pro time e vemos ele em rotina. Mas, como o ep foi feito pra ele, deu aqueles toques a mais.

O final mostrado não foi em acréscimos, como de costume, mas foi interessante até.

E o Barou falando que devorou o Isagi de volta e o Chigiri falando sobre um tá devorando o outro kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk E parece que por agora está de boas enquanto a isso...

barou learns from his much needed humiliation.


honestly anri suddenly giving healthy food only without taste, especially broccoli?? wtf did u expect. be glad ego swallowed it with extra spices and sauce

Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate.


I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was bound to lead me to a slow death.

Great conclusion, even Barou has room to grow and I'm glad he's realizing it, for the good of everyone on his side.

Ayo, didn't expect Isagi to command and diss the King like that. The egoist king's ego had shattered but he did make a solid comeback.

So basically trying to one-up each other is their chemical reaction. Now that Barou won't be so straightforward with his goals, he will be a much more feared opponent. Bro needed to sense defeat to evolve.

Barou also acknowledges Isagi as a strong opponent now.

I know for sure they'll be picking Chigiri. They have Barou to compensate for Kunigami. They have Nagi to play the part of Reo's passes. Even Isagi is a very good chemical reaction maker. So what they should be getting now is speed i.e. Chigiri.

How the hell do you choose just one of those three? They’re all amazing.

I guess they’ll have to go with a skill their missing in their trio already… so I guess I’d choose Chigiri for the speed.

I’m sad that it means we won’t get to see two of the losing trio for a while… especially since I’m not a big fan of Barou and I’d swap him out of one of the others in a heart beat

Isage really put the L in Barou's mind, so much so that Barou is compelled to abide by isagi's desire and insults, for he is once a King, dethroned and devoured by the egoist Isagi.

However that moment od despair did not last forever, in acknowledgement of his first ever bitter taste of defeat and the feeling of refusal from accepting the supporting role, Barou has evolved and awakened. The King has yet again emerged from the depth of despair, stronger than ever, and finally, his iconic red/black aura is finally here as he took on a new villainous approach when scoring goals, a tactic that has the potential to eclipse even the brigtest of stars. This is the new awakened Barou!

Epic episode holy shit, Isagi ties the game, and Barou finally feels what it's like to feel despair and defeat, along with the spotlight being taken off of him. Isagi was leading the match now instead of Barou. This is how the supporters and players who pass the ball feel when one player always leads the match like they own the field. Barou finally gets what it means to be a team, but he awakens and cuts through everyone to score the winning goal, worried that his future won't be real if he passed the ball. The red lightning all around Barou was so cool too. I knew there would be a darn cliffhanger when Isagi was going to decide on bringing Chigiri, Reo, or Kunigami. That episode felt so short, what happened to the time man... 5/5

Hell yeah, Barou! His awakening kicked donkey. I wanted to see him evolve without becoming a team player and got exactly that. This whole battle of egos just keeps getting better.

That dream doping bit hit hard. Ego-kun really dropping truth bombs. The Anri journal was a nice change of pace from the usual additional time. Her mismatch with Ego has been a point of amusement on the side.

Isagi got insanely disrespectful😅😅 "Don't drag us down donkey." "Move so I can score." "Come along donkey."🤣🤣. Barou has acknowledged Isagi by calling him his name. Nagi is super funny for no reason😂😂 "That's rude call me by my name😂🤣" The way Isagi forced Barou to pass by using pure aura is crazy😅😅. Everyone was stunned. One thing I will say is this needs to be studied how did Barou have a 7-minute conversation with himself in less than 2 seconds😂😂. His evolution went crazy though. Barou's and Isagi's unique chemistry is elite it is a simple rivalry that forces them to evolve

Barou snapped out of his solo thing and used his teammates to score a goal. Barou called Isagi by his name, which is so unexpected and rare. Nagi wants him to call him by his name too.

I’m liking Nagi more than I thought I would. I’m interested in watching the spin off movie now.
