Shingo hates yakyuu! That's something unexpected, and as a side note, it was nicely and fluently placed in the episode. USA vs JAPAN on the way, Cuba, get lost already >.>

For the past few months I've watched Major from the start all the way through 'til here... and now I'm upset that I can't just marathon it anymore and I actually have to wait for episodes to come out. XD;

Either way, I'm glad Gibson Jr. is actually showing compassion now, even if it's not amazing... XD

I forgot about that thing wrong with Gibson Sr, but it was good to see Goro pitch himself out of that jam.

Someone beat Shingo up... or deadball him.
On the other hand, now we all know that if Toshi does well in a game, it's the power of Mamiko Noto.

Lol whattt I didn't know Shingo didn't like baseball that much. What happened to the younger Shingo who was secretly practising his pitches :s
Hope that nothing happens to Gibson, he seems like a really good guy especially after what happened to Honda in the first season. I think he shouldn't pitch as well, I doubt Goro would want him to do that as well.

Wow when did Shingo become such a dick?!?!

Okay you don't like playing baseball, that's fine. But when you travel to another country to watch your brother play, YOU DON'T PLAY YOUR DS DURING THE GAME!!! Have the decency to watch and cheer for him!! Momoko should have broken that DS in half.


And also I have to say, DETCO PARK, oh man...

Right? Their in the wrong city >.< . . . and the stadium in question isn't you stereotypical stadium either, it looks nothing like that.

Also have to agree with Shingo being a brat. I thought he liked baseball and was going to try and beat out his dad and Goro . . . I guess somewhere down the line that ended. Anyways, where is Chiharu? She would be rooting for Goro . . . Well, whatever, good episode, although I completely forgot that Gibson had some kind of disease / injury. I really don't see this ending well for him.

Even if Japan wins this, I think there won't be a "real" challange between Gibson and Gorou in the next match, not with a deceased Gibson at this rate.

And somehow I don't blame Shingo for not liking baseball. I don't know, maybe he'll be interested in it again in the future, what I know is that Momoko should have stayed in Japan.

Lol Shingo is just a brat. Can see it so clearly that shingo and goro are not blood related.

Shingo hate baseball. Moms hate him!

I had totally forgot about the Gibson sub-plot. Maybe they should kept it a bit more fresh, like establishing it later than they did.

Shingo is being incredibly rude. He's probably no good at baseball and upset.
Great episode.

Junior likes his father now? I think it'd be great if Gibson died playing baseball though.

Besides that, I'm quite disappointed Shingo doesn't like baseball. But since that's the case, no doubt it'll be Goro's child who becomes a baseball freak, if he has one.

Shingo annoyed me, so what if he doesn't like baseball, he should watch his brother play.
Gibson seems to have a big problem, hopefully he won't end like Shigeharu.

Momoko should have taken the DS from Shingo before they left for the stadium. There's nothing wrong with him not getting into baseball himself or even caring about it that much, but for him to be acting like that when his brother is at the semifinals of the World Cup is just obnoxious.

It would be interesting in a way if neither Shingo nor Chiharu ever ended up getting into baseball/softball. I kinda hope one of them does, though.

I don't think Gorou would want to risk Gibson's life just for them to have a match, but you better believe he'll give his all if Gibson does anyway. I hope he survives. Based on the context, the operation Gibson Jr. mentioned would probably fix whatever is wrong; I'm guessing Gibson isn't having it simply because he wouldn't recover in time for the finals.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

All this Shingo talk.. why?!? Honestly.. who cares.

I loved the realistic strategy of baseball in this episode and it wasn't bogged down by how fast some pitcher threw a fastball and it taking an entire episode to talk about it. Gibson subplot is awesome.. great cliffhanger!

all the episode i waited to know what toshi told miho and in the end it was nothing special except his promise to contact her.
what happened to shingo from S3 that loves baseball? they insert his side-story kind unprepared.
and it was lovely to see gibson jr. to see gibson as his father. wonder what his surgery is about.
and in the end it's goro and toshi that make the whole japanese team, kinda unrealistic with all the major players in the team.

Shingo you brat get off your damn game! Momoko should've taken Chiharu instead to America.
Ominous to know Gibson's health condition is so worse that Junior worries about him risking his life just pitching.

Didn't expect that from Shingo, maybe he is mad because baseball keep his brother away?
Otherwise good chapter.
