| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Toshi is such a bastard, using people to further himself. I don't see how anyone could be his friend and how he can treat the one person that drove him into this field like a rag doll. Completely despicable; he's bound to appear in the future seasons and they'll probably be friends, but if it was anyone but Goro, they would have deserted him for being such an ass. |

| Man, I really hate that girl character that is in love with Toshi. She is so incredibly pointless, yet she takes up so much screentime. |
 |
| I think the rivalry between Goro and Toshi has added a dynamic to this series that just makes it so much more entertaining. I like both of them, btw, though it's true that they are both pretty flawed personalities it makes them feel much more human. |
| "Yes, I have been deprived of emotion. But not completely. Whoever did it, botched the job." - Geralt of Rivia |
| Toshi does some things that are out of line but I can't bring myself to hate him at least not yet. But good for Goro mounting the comeback. |
 |
| I like Toshi. I understand his motivation too. In his mind, if Goro hadn't effed up and brought his name up in front of the scouts, he would be well on his way to achieving his goal. Like, you have to be too dumb to live to do something like that. I think it's weird to expect Toshi to just lay down and let Goro steamroll him. Psychology is a big part of any sport. I say use all skills at your disposal short of going against the rules. Besides, other than reading the batter and calling the pitches, how else is he, as a catcher, supposed to make an offensive play against Goro? |
devilzzy said: I agree, ever since season 1, he made that comment to Goro during their game when he was playing catcher, I didn't like him.. ditto |
 |
| Goro's home run! Serves you right, Toshi. But Goro needs to be calm too. He is easily agitated (just like when he was a kid). |
| The competitive attitude has been growing in Toshiya ever since season 1. Despite being unfriendly, I really didn't have anything against his playing style since baseball is indeed more than just hitting hard and throwing fast. Walking Goro was cowardly, but he's still focused on getting into Kaidou and I can understand that he doesn't want to sacrifice his carefully planned future for some macho duel with a friend. What really set me off, however, was that last ball towards Goro's head. Doing that while knowing about his father, he's a sick bastard. Glad Goro got a homerun off him anyway, albeit home runs are starting to get a bit repetitive. |
 |
| I'm starting to hate Toshiya. Tsk. I thought they would just fight to get better, y'know just being friendly rivals? No grudges and hard feelings. Grr.. He looks like a villain now. Hahaha. Komori was pissed off! XD Haha makes me laugh when he threw the ball to Goro's head. Lol. Nice batting Goro! Welp, good thing you managed to cool you head down. XD |
 |
| Toshi was really an asshole in this episode. |

Good thing she's starting to know how Toshi really is, not the super attractive nice guy she knew before. Also love how Komori threw a ball at Goro, wake up already ! :D |
 |
| I really can't respect Toshi as a ball player, I mean he has no business being in a shounen anime!!! His style is too underhanded. Well whatever, anyways, glad that Goro got back in his normal rhythm, that last bit was ANNOYING. |
 |
| Now we all know why his parents ditched him, dont we? |
| How do I signature? |
| Things are heating up! If it wasn't Komori, then Gorou would have let Toshi emotionally & psychologically manipulate himself. It was seriously becoming hard to watch, thank goodness Komori entered the scene. Stunfisk said: Man, I really hate that girl character that is in love with Toshi.

| Damn, that episode was a rollercoaster. Toshi is such an evil bastard xD He sure is effective in the end, especially since Goro is extremely emotive. But now, that plan have been strike out! No seriously though, stop this Toshi, pls. Goro major flaw is his selfishness. Even if he corrected it a bit, his selfishness have cost a point and could have cost many more. Yamane was right when he said that he wasn't being good at team work. He will often sacrifice his teamates because of his lack of self-control. And that flaw will probably follow him all his life, with such a temper. He'll have to deal with it. Well, mostly his teamates will have to deal with it. |

| ah toshi, you machiavellian genius. |
| Awesome game, the best yet. Love the mind games, great challenge for Gorou |
 |
| I'm really starting to dislike Toshiya, his whole reason for trying to get into Kaido. If Toshiya's grandparents found out his reason for trying to get into Kaido, no doubt would they feel devastated.. They're working hard for Toshiya because they think it's his dream to be a professional baseball player, when really he's doing it because "Baseball is the fastest way to get money" or whatever he said, to pay his debt back to them. If I worked hard to support someone else for their dream financially just to find out it wasn't their dream but all because they wanted to pay their debt back to me, I would fucking give them a hiding. Pathetic, really pathetic, I feel immensely sorry for his grandparents. |

Also love how Komori threw a ball at Goro, wake up already ! :D I don't think so. She was actually worried about Toshi if you watched this episode carefully from her expressions and her comments on Toshi's sudden cold personalities. Sure she's worried but she isnt the same as she was when she first met him. She is slowly finding out about him, what he's really about, might not be a lot in this episode, but it's something. |
|
| Toshi's such a dick wtf. He's been pretty cold to goro even before his whole family situation. Zzz |
 |
| Toshi's being such a sneaky prick. I know the show's trying to keep them as rivals but there is such a thing as a friendly rivalry. Compared to when they first met in S1 his character has done a complete 180. That said, Goro really needs to learn to keep his cool but it's somewhat understandable since they've known each other for ages. The guy knows how exactly how to provoke him >_> |
 |
| That was a stupid way to lose a point but at least he got it back with a home run. |
 |
| So much pointless Toshi hate. Keep in mind what his situation even is. He's losing something very important while Goro doesn't even care about it. Of course he's pissed and wants to beat Goro and get that spot. It's not like he's physically attacking him and insulting him. He's just agitating him and fighting him psychologically, the same thing Goro's been doing in the past season, though more because of his loud arrogant mouth. |
 "Your sight, my delight. Will you marry me?" |
| Can see why Satou would be salty,but still.. hope that Gorou can overcome this crisis and that their friendship will become like back then once again. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Best episode of season 2 so far and a very emotional episode... I really dislike Toshiya at the moment and on the other side Komori just start to be even greater than before cause hes at eye level with Goro. Goro kinda was distracted but thats how he works. Its easy to provoke him. I loved how he didnt even answer in the end anymore. I wish Goro will win together with Komori and afterwards Toshi's going to think about this game... what he has done to Goro, even if it wasnt against the rules. Goro even wanted to tell the Scout to check Toshi.. in a discreet way. Go Goro Go! Im even a better cheerleader than Toshis Grandpa! |

| My only regret is having regrets! |
| love to see the series back to his track. toshia vs goro is a masterpiece, i wonder if someone else could do the same for goro, toshia know him the most, while it pity to see him losing it. goro totally falling for his trap but komori serves well as his best buddy at the club. though i don't like hime much, i actually miss sawamura. |
| Toshiya is a true next-level virgin. |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| Komori was the best one in this episode. He deserves more credit. |
| Being competitive is good as long as you can still be friendly but Toshi really do be acting like a huge douche especially with that ball aimed for Goro's head that could've been a deadball instead of a ball if Goro wasn't fast enough. Glad Komori woke up Goro and luckily they managed to regain a point through a homerun but Goro really needs to work on his selfishness. |
