Atobe is so awesome that everyone was able to hear Hyotei's cheering. Nice...

My fav. part was probably the end with the red-haired kid against Oni. And Echizen saying "Cool drive."

My fav part was when Atobe used his racket to touch the bum of Hiyoshi.

I think this episode was ok for me, but I didn't really love it as much.
I loved the end when Ryoma said cool drive as well ^^
I can't wait for the next episode when Ryoma plays.
Tezuka's a good captain even though what he did was mean D: I really thought he was mocking Kaidoh when I was watching it >w<

I wish there was a gif of Beautiful tennis, I loved that scene when dude was in the air.

Otherwise mind blowing stuff in tennis,


And Echizens partner is amazing, my favorite in the series with that match.

Finding that part only so-so already, due to mediocre animation and partly horrible soundtrack, I'm scared of what's coming up. The manga went straight downhill soon after the present events (and still is).

Same thing here. It'd be very funny if that happens.
I also like Tokugawa. He's just sooo cute *-*~
Wakashi and Keigo's match was the best in this ep. Man, Keigo touching Wakashi with his racket was hilarious kkkkkk
I'm looking forward to see Kin-chan and Oni's match. Kin-chan is so cute when he's having fun ^^

I like this episode because Snake showed what he can. But I'm angry, because they don't show us Ryoma's games!!

First time watching a tennis anime, and i feel like the only way to make this even more intense is if they start shooting lazer beams or learn levitation -,- meh, i want to see more of Ryoma, so next ep should be good...

I loved everything about this episode, especially my baby Kaidoh<3 XD
But seriously, this ep was just as good as the previous ones, I loved both of the games. Tezuka and Atobe are amazing players as always.

Even without the Hyotei cheering squad students, their cheer could still be heard, lol. Everyone just got used to Hyotei! Hyotei! Hyotei!

~Tezuka, you bastard! Stop screwing around!~
I totally agree with the Viper. This Tezuka zone is such a crap and the most irritating technique.=(

What a wonderful episode. I understand what the captains were trying to do, but it did feel mean at the same time.

This season is going great so far. The animation is a huge step up from the National Tournament arc.

I got what Atobe was trying to do with Hiyoshi but Tezuka pissing off Kaidou to get him to power up?? I don't know, it felt like kind of a cop out because Kaidou gets super pissed off in like half his matches (and outside of his matches) anyway. I feel like Tezuka could have taught Kaidou the importance of staying calm and collected or something, and not let things provoke him so easily. He'll need a cool head as the next captain especially with Momo as vice-captain lol
