Haha, seriously? Gyro-fork? I love the Japanese and their love of the so-called gyroball. Either way, that's some killer pitch. Can't wait for the match.

I LOL'ed @ the 90kg hand grip.

And now I can predict another "injured Goro" story arc with that foreshadowing of how strenous throwing the fork ball can be on the arm.

You don't know how pissed I've been at this anime for people repeatedly telling Goro that he shouldn't pitch a breaking ball. I'm glad he finally learned one.

Knowing Goro, if he injures his other arm, he'll grow a new one.

I found this season far more interesting than the previous one. Also that Gyro-fork ball sounds great.

Oh yes finally finally! A breaking ball he can use! Gotta love how Goro always somehow gets things so quick. Excited for the match (: I can't really imagine them winning though, especially since it's against a few top major leaguers. But then again, this is anime and many times has Goro's weaker team beat a much more stronger team lol.
Dunno bout everyone else but I don't think everyone on the team Goro's on should be Japan representatives. Sure they're good but I think having some of the original should be better.

Oh finally, a breaking ball. Yeah it has a crazy gyro name but that's forgiven. Now Goro starts to have an arsenal rather than just a cannon.

Interesting match against some of the Major Leagues! And I was surprised that Kiyoshi recommended Goro. Anyway, I am glad that he already knows how to use a breaking ball. But of all the breaking balls, he choose the most strenuous one.

Like I thought, after all of the time Goro and Toshiya have spent being rivals, it still feels best when they form a battery. That gyro-fork looks like one hell of a weapon, can't wait to see what it's capable of when completely mastered.

That pitch is pretty scary . . . If he gains control of it I'm sure he will be able to contend pretty damn well in the major leagues. If he also was able to learn something like a change-up he could actually have the potential to be one of the biggest pitchers out there too.

''I called it... the Gyrofork!!''
Goro, you're funny :P

It was kinda funny that Goro didn't remembered the one with the most stupid face x)
Is Mayumura part of the young team? I didn't saw him. Also, that would make a lot of pitcher in the same team.

MAN, I WONDER WHO WILL WIN THAT GAME.
Seriously, though, it will probably be a damn good game. That Suguro was a real bro to teach him that before the decisive game.

Sounds like an evolution of shounen series' protagonist main attack. And I love it!

I think he's with the older team, right? Though you'd probably already know by now.

Lol @ "gyro-fork". Gorou, please.

Seriously though, that's a pretty crazy looking forkball. It was immensely kind of Suguro to teach him how to throw one like that; such humility on his part too. People like that are awesome.

Knowing this anime's track record, I really don't think it's that easy to predict who will win. Gorou's pitching will almost certainly impress enough to get him on the team either way, but whether "Young Japan" or the current National Team will form the core of it, I'm not entirely certain.

It should be interesting, in any case.

so in the end kyoshi did recommended goro to the youth team, and not surprising why after a looking on his bat.
goro acting really strange and develops well, even in S2 he didn't developed this well in the trainings, really like this.
and i'm glad he finally had another pitching, it surely will be for his advantage with his mighty 165km pitch.

So Goro was never able to throw a breakball because of how he throws the gyro ball, finally an answer to what I've been wondering. Respect to the kind Suguro for helping Goro out with his first breakball technique (finally), the Gyro-fork, which looks insane
