It's kind of hard to believe that Akagi was bad at basketball...

And what... will Mitsui be part of the team in the future? o_o

The new ending really suited the mood of this episode. Mitsui turned out to be interesting, after all.

Yeah, I wouldn't believe Akagi was that bad if he was so passionate about basketball since he was young. Then again maybe that's why he forced Sakuragi to learn the basics so fiercely. xD

Nice that we get some backstory and not just some random attack on the basketball club, hmmm what will Mitsui do?

That was quite the shock to learn about Mitsui, I wonder what happened since I feel like I'll know and relate to this story all too well. I like how they were throwing in humor during the storytelling like when Rukawa dissed Sakuragi about pretending to be a genius. Really glad this is turning out to be more than just sports.

I wonder what happened to Mitsui and he changed so much.

Damn, Sakuragi going serious beast mode now! Not even that bastard punk adult had any chance on Sakuragi.

LOL, Sakuragi having a light slap just for Rukawa. Even adding the broom which he himself broke XD

Gori is finally here!

I love how Sakuragi hold Mitsui just to learn more about his past.

Even Mitsui shared the same cockiness as Sakuragi!

It's funny how Gori played just like Sakuragi did XD

Finally ED2 is here!! Now we'll know the tragic past of Mitsui T__T

This is definitely my favorite ED in the whole series!!!

Can't wait!!!

C'mon Mitsui is tough guys, at least he's still standing straight despite being punched by Rukawa and Sakuragi, got beaten up by Yohei and slapped multiple times by Gori 😂

That guy in the new ED looks like... I thought Mitsui was going to be just a recurring annoyance. Interesting.

Sakuragi is finally fighting back, and those guys will regret attacking them. Mito, was going all out because basketball is one of the things Sakuragi loves the most right now, and he’s been happy to see him enjoy it. 

Exactly, grow up already.

The slap was satisfying

He used to be part of team? What the heck. I was not expecting that. So Mitsui was a well known basketball player. What happened to him. Interesting, even Akagi had a hard time at the beginning.

I'm guessing Mitsui is going to be another player on the team. Too much back story for him to be just a side character

Didn't expect a Mitsui backstory, but here we are, lol.

New member to the team for sure.
