I be damn, Peco have improved a lot in only one year. I think it was a bit obvious that he would win against Kong. Cause he lost last time and his effort would be for nothing if he lost. Poor Kong at least he wanted to win once so he could make his exile period end. I guess that was why he said he wanted to be send to another country, Germany or Sweden (why not mention shitty Norway :P).

But I can predict and assume that Peco will loose against Kazuma. It's pretty clear to me that he is even more clever than Peco. We all probably know that the last match will be Tsukimoto vs. Kazuma. It's gonna be an interesting match and amazing enough 3 ep. left. This series felt like it gonna end very quickly. What I am curious about is what Tsukimoto is going to do after he wins. Is he going to become a pro player or is he just going to be at the same place as he is now. Now that's the question. :D

I loved the metaphor and depiction they used in the Kong vs. Peco fight. Such a lovely depictions. It's actually these parts that makes this anime very unique and good, beside it's animation ofc. The guy just wanted take his ass and fly away back to China to his mother. xD ♥๏ธŽ

Just wanted to note BGM was spot on.

I was rooting for Wenge there, but it's Pecos time to shine.

Kong is a great character, I think he’s an unlucky man but he’s able to face the difficulties. Good episode but I wanted Kong to win.

Wooo another Inter High! Who would've thought it'd come so soon? Awesome matches this episode as well. Peco's come a long way in the last year and Wenge has grown into a likeable character.

Absolutely stunning. His hero came back! Its Peco! My underdog fighter came from behind to surprised everyone! Finally i had a big revelations about Smile's past. His hero! And its just, yeah, full of a warmth feeling in the end. Its not just that. Because its just full of others feelings too. Funny, sad, worry, surprise, dissapointment, wrath, and happiness with one emotions, in one episode. Holy shit!

However, its not the end. Nor its peak too. Because, Peco still had another burden. The dragon, before he met his closed friend. Oh, well, even their tournament chart just wanted them to fully commited to kill each others in the end. Its surely full with another complex feeling. Once again, i am satisfied. Thank you very much, Yuasa!

On the other hands, once again, my chinese dude might never be back to his homeland. Because, yeah, its the second lost, there. Oh, well, what a pity end. However, no need to be so hurry, Kong. Your new home still needed your advise. At least its not a true hell like your own homeland, right? His smile just gave you a complete end of his feeling. Its very, deep and i was simply love his expression!

Poor Wenge, his character came a long way and he surprisingly became a favorite. Good for Peco though, it was tough to choose between the two. Cheering for Peco from this moment forward! His character started from the bottom all over again. Can't wait to see how he's evolved.

So Peco is Smile's hero going by Smile's "the Welcome back hero" line. Seeing Kong lose was quite painful to watch but Peco really stepped his game up. He's definitely gonna go up against Kazama at this rate.

Another great fucking ep. This is really, really, really fucking good. I can't wait to see the final 3 episodes. I had to sacrifice a bit of my homework for this, hope it's worth it.

The way this show manages to make such complex and deep characters in the span of 6 - 8 episodes is insane. I bet more development for Smile is coming soon.

These last set of episodes have been extremely good and this didn't disappoint either. How long until the knee injury starts affecting him though?

As much as I hate China, credit where credit is due, his development from the first episode to now is actually insane. First episode China would NOT have let Peco win that game, let alone give him the win and passing the torch to him to defeat Kazama once and for all.
