| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Ejiun, have more confidence! I kinda like that theatrics this episode with the catcher and Satoru though. Everyone's like grinning :p The scenes with the snow also added a nice touch of refreshment. |

| Tsk tsk tsk, Sawamura is going to be the ace, Miyuki :P (well, I hope so) Ace of Diamond is a bit less fun when Sawamura is doing nothing. But it was nice to see what the senpai can do! Next episode looks freaking hilarious with the demonic smile at the end of the preview XD. |
| sawamura should pitch well. after 16 eps its his time to shine |

| I was surprised when they got hits off Furuya's pitches so easily. The upperclassmen are total beasts out there in the field and they're doing all that despite their major fatigue from camp. Also that guy in the preview looks creepy. ಠ_ಠ |

| Its to be expected since Furuya's tired(everyone is). About time for him to realize that he is not playing alone and he has reliable team mates :> Ryou-san is being nasty xD Making the pitcher throw a lot. lol And Yuki-san still burning despite the fatigue. Eijun in the sidelines is really funny to watch. Miyuki's weakness exposed - he can't hit if there are no runners around. haha! Eijun's pitching next ep! |
  |
| Nice little development with furuya |
| dat smile in the preview though..... Great episode! really enjoyed it even though they were losing. I need Eijun to pitch now and to show everyone just how great he is. I've been waiting too long for this! |
 |
| They actually put some focus towards batting this episode! I mean, the main focus of the series being pitching is fine and all, but it feels like the supporting characters who don't shine while fielding never get any screentime. Furuya is gradually becoming my favorite character in this series along with Chris and Yuki. Is the smile from the preview the guy from the opening? Took a full cour to get to him so he must have some significance. |
 |
| Finally Furuya realizes that he can't be just satisfied with having fast balls, about time! Even though it was cruel how Miyuki planned all this, but people do learn the fastest through the hard way. Time for Eijun to get on the mound and show everyone what he can do. Oh and that weird pitcher is finally up too...can't remember his name but all I can remember is that he had the weirdest expressions. |
| I would be happy if someone says that i'm a monster because of my pitching Furaya's Past isn't dark at all :/ Tetsu is the coolest guy in this anime |
| Really liked the development for Furuya. Sawamura is to funny, especially towards the end with a mit and bat ready to go in haha |
| There was good focus on Furuya this episode. Eijun was funny and stupid like always |
| We're actually playing a proper game of baseball this episode? Frankly, I'm shocked. Miyuki doing the Monobear laugh made me giggle, as did Sawamura getting distracted by ~*~Chris-senpai~*~ during Furuya's... winter wonderland adventure moment or whatever it was. What the fuck was up with the preview, though? I'm pretty sure their next opponent is Jack Nicholson as the Joker, even if his grin's not quite as... well, as disturbingly creepy as Midosuji's in Yowamushi Pedal. |
| DAT GUY IN THE PREVIEW IS CREEPY |
 |
| After watching the starters play like this while fatigued, I can't wait 'til we can see them play at 100%. They're insane! |

| ...Ok. Has anyone else noticed that Youichi talks and acts a lot like Yoichi from Eyeshield 21? |
| My signature is lame... |
| This episode was for Furuya. I wanted to see Sawamura in action. |

| I'm impatiently waiting for Sawamura to show off his pitch! Also, the PV for the next episode has a creepy smiling batter. |

| .. yeah, this episode reminded me once again, why I hate Furuya with a passion. He's getting praised into heaven, while Sawamura always seems to be "second place" behind him. Having a rival is good, but Furuya is ridiculous. That and he's so anti-social and egoistic, it's making me mad. For him it's always "I want to pitch", "I want to stand on the field", "I want Miyuki to catch my pitchesl". I, I, I, I, me, me, me. Pitchers are egoists, but Furuya takes it too far, especially since he's so anti-social, he doesn't even speak to his team mates. Hello Furuya, this might be news, but Baseball is a team-sport. Of course Sawamura is also egoistic, he also wants to be the top pitcher, but at least he's a team player and interacts with his team mates. Furuya is just a horroble character. |

I think it's actually good that he's unlikable. That leaves more room for character development (as seen in this episode) and having too many perfect characters isn't that exciting, ne? Also, no one said that Eijun is second place to Furuya. Everyone believes in the two first year pitchers and are putting their trust in them. |
| I feel sorry for him. At least he found a team that trust him. |
| Some development for Furuya. Now can't wait to see what Sawamura can do... hopefully he isn't as hopeless as last time even if he is tired. |

| I was expecting some Furuya hate but there are quite a bit more than expected lol. Unfortunately guys it gets worse. Sawamura doesn't really shine until MUCH, MUCH later. Prepare for frustration... and lots more Furuya hate. I advice following the growth of the team instead of just Eijun cuz if you're expecting he's gonna get better soon... But stick around. I don't even consider Sawamura a main character anymore. At least not until later. He's just there for perspective. But the heartbreak you are going to suffer after a few arcs just hits you and kicks you while you're down... in a good way. Beautiful. |
| Great serious and character developing episode. |
 |
| Sawamura was super annoying in this episode. He will get his time to shine and yet he was being such a selfish little baby, constantly screaming at Furuya to get off the mound and have him replace him instead while the rest of the teammates said nothing because they trusted him. What a dick. I can't believe nobody called him out on this. I don't pay much attention to Furuya but I have to say he works as a better comic relief than Sawamura for me. Sawamura is just too loud and dramatic, a huge turnoff. I love Tetsu here, my favorite :) |

Yeah okFuraya's Past isn't dark at all :/ gardevoir7 said: Someone else has noticed! I think it's actually rather amusing. I have to wonder if the author did have Hiruma in mind when making the character. Same laugh, same attitude, same first name....Ok. Has anyone else noticed that Youichi talks and acts a lot like Yoichi from Eyeshield 21? |

| furuya is damn tired :/ that was some shitty playing starters played well tho. at 100% they'll be amazing ._. |

| Furuya struggling this episode was kinda surpising since he always seems like hes cocky with his op-ness The preview at the end for next episode looks scary o.0 |
| Man, I knew I had to come back to say something about this episode. This morning, I watched this episode with my earbuds in while eating breakfast and I was tearing up at Furuya's short memory of being isolated plus having to practice by himself. It was such a great scene. One of my favorites so far... I'm really liking Furuya. He has a certain charm that I end up falling for despite myself not thinking that he's the type of character I'd like. I don't know how to explain it. A bit of social awkwardness, stoic expression, his weird voice and even though he is obviously not a guy of many words whatever comes out of his mouth makes my interest pique. |
| Nice episode!! Furuya learned a great lesson, play in the team, and confidence in their peers!!! |
| Poor Furuya got obliterated lol Eijun is next! |
 |
| Tough start with everyone tired after the hellish training camp but Furuya managed to trust his teammates in the end. |
 |
| Eijun needs to yelling unnecessary things lmao Hold up, the third years are actually insane. They run so freaking quick. |
 |
| Damn dude the cast is excellent in this show. I think I like pretty much every character. 9/10 so far |
