Why are you guys acting as if using decoys is so bad? All the teams use it, but when Rakuzan uses it that's bad? No wait, when Mayuzumi, a guy barely shown for 2 episodes, is used as a decoy, that's suddenly bad and you pity him? He's the one that fucked up, he should be thankful he's even being used as a decoy at all.

On a side note, does none of Seirin's or Rakuzan's students come to support them? I mean, we are talking the final match of a national tournament. I don't think I've ever seen any in any of Seirin's games.

basically cause Mayuzumi is Kuroko 2.0 So the exact same situation could happen with him back in Teiko considering Akashi sees maboroshi no sixman only as a tool.

And that is why I'm saying, what is wrong with it? Using a decoy is a perfectly acceptable strategy in actual games. In fact, using it multiple times like with Mayuzumi is a very gutsy thing to do, considering that any team worth their salt would not fall for it more than once or twice.

Solid episode, not sure about the flow of the game. It's always strange how it focuses so much on two characters at a time then moves on to another two.

He fucked up in the final, against a team whose mostly won from comebacks. The fact that he was still in the team, even being used as a decoy, is something he should be thankful for.

Imo it's because the rest of the team treats him now like a useless shit, you know it wouldn't happen in Seirin. Besides, we saw during this episode that Mayuzumi himself doesn't feel good about it either.

pretty bad episode imo, the different point is 20, then the blonde guy score 2 times and being responsed by seirin with koganei's shoot, it should be 22 in difference, so why is the difference become 18..?
instead of putting many new skill in the players, i think it's better if all of the score being shown in the amine to make the match long...

I'm getting really tired of every comment on literally every move a player makes. I wouldn't be surprised if the bleachers people will praise one player's single step or a dribble.

For such an intense match it felt kind of slow, I liked the Hayama vs Izuki bit and the animal comparisons were epic.

With Iduki's help, Kagami and Kuroko stop Hayama.
Lol at Koga's The Wild animal. Glad Hyuga got encouraged by him.

yeah Koganei in da roof. I've been interested with this guy since the beginning. Because of his cat-like mouth lol. It's nice to see the other players get the recognition they are due. Anyway I sure hope we get to know what the hell is up with that Void though

also Reo-nee? dafuq? so is he gay then? that was unexpected..

Kinda sad Hayama got less screen time than the other two with explaining his moves and all. And the emphasized the sound of his dribble more in the manga iirc. Or it could've just been my imagination haha. I can understand cutting out material though. The manga version really dragged this match out.

Looks like Hyuga's coming back into the game! I'm excited to see how he deals with Mibuchi. And Kyoshi has to beat muscle man too :p

seirin really fighting their way to close the gap, but they definitely aren't there.

not only that, i believe akashi didn't even got seriously yet.

but i guess it's a matter of time before seirin's power up, i wonder what will be done.

Koga the house cat hahaha. He got his bit of shine and thanks to him Hyuga can make his comeback. His mom would be proud, before she preached him the importance of being there for your team. What his sis told him was also very true. He has a good family.

Izuki proved his worth as well, he's more than just an average player. I loved the shots he fired at Hayama xD Would give the win to him in this face off since Hayama had to pull back. Akashi gave off scary vibes there.

Last match of the series and now we focusing on the rest of the players.. took a long time lol.

Izuki and Koga did throw their hands, but it certainly not helping when it comes to diminishing the lead. Seirin has so much to do.

Also Koganei got the most spirit as well as Kuroko. I'm hoping he gets his big moment before the finale.

I know I'm watching this show late, but my goodness, I'm surprised I didn't hear more complaining about the animation back when it was airing.

People are livid over Blue Lock S2 right now, but this episode made even Blue Lock look good. This was just PNG the Episode.

Really hope the last several episodes got a better budget, because this is becoming very underwhelming right at the finish line.

One of my favorites Episodes of this match simply because two unlikely heroes made their stand here - and triumphed in their own way:

Izuki vs Hayama: Figuring him out, not by skill or power - but by wits! Outwitting an Uncrowned King him and setting him up for a trap.

And Koga Vs Mibuchi: facing off a devilish Shooting Guard and jumping defiantly, playing by cat-like instincts and throwing him completely off guard - through pure passion for the game and the will to succeed and contribute to his Team's victory.

A shame he couldn't completely stop Mibuchi - but he made him almost miss and more importantly enlightened Hyuga how to predict & stop his Demonic 3 Shots. Which is a HUGE contribution for the game.

Additionally, Izuki's self induced comic relief was hilarious - I bursted out laughing so hard the entire house shook! Can't remember the last time I laughed this hard from any show!
