Lmao, Eijun's brief rage is hilarious.

Pretty loud arena this episode with a lot of tense. Some decent builds but I think the pitching were the more intense parts, especially that last one this episode with the dramatic pitch.

But like almost always, Diamond no Cliffhanger strikes again ;_;

Diamond no Cliffhanger HAHAHAHA!! Miyuki changed his stance so maybe he does get the hit? Man Furuya has it real hard this game, hope Zono and the team goes back well with Miyuki.

I let out a "What the fu..." at the end. A slightly different cliffhanger would have been nice, such as ending a split second later where we can hear the contact.

Furuya's stubbornness getting in the way :/

This series would be a great one to marathon, as cliffhangers won't matter as much.

Nevertheless a great first inning!

F***n Cliffhanger!!! JUST WHY!!! D:

It was awesome seeing Miyuki totally serious like that.

Furuya got REKT lol :P I'm just loving Ume way too much ^^; Can't wait til he faces off against Eijun!!

I'm glad Furuya didn't break down at least though. That's getting repetitive.

Whoooo great episode, that was awesome. Furuya's opening game is always weak as usual...

Haha that ending card, oh Kawakami.

Aghhhh the cliffhanger gets me every single time!! Even though most of the styles of their cliffhangers are all very similar!

Love this episode, looking forward for the next one!

Lol so they're calling it the power curve eh... pretty sure its just called curveball......

And I still cant get the Major vibe out, especially this game, ugumori vs seido reminds me alot of Seishuu vs Kaidou

miyuki = sato
furuya = mayumura
umemiya = gorou
How do I signature?

Nope... it is a power curveball. Power curveballs are faster and have a sharper drop on the pitch as it crosses the plate.

Daamn Miyuki's intensity when he was very disappointed with Furuya. Usually Miyuki is rather supportive, everyone was incredibly surprised. I think Zono can see how Miyuki's harsh ways can work out too. At least it works well with Furuya, who finally got his head in the game. It doesn't matter if it's Furuya's signature to start out slow, he gave up a home run with three runners in the first inning. No more excuses for slow start.

So agree with this :')

But dang, that last moment chance in stance looks kind of dangerous for twisting something.

Not even a cliffhanger huh.

Nice to see that they made us think it'd be a clash of aces when in reality it is a clash of captains (assuming Ugo is the captain) :D

Lots of tension in the Seido camp, but that was to be expected. Hope Miyuki pulls off a good hit, but I have a feeling it's not gonna be that simple.

...and lol, poor Kawakami has ace dreams too ^_^

I was so pissed at furuya. I get that he has pitcher's pride and thinks he can do it, but no, I'm 110% with miyuki.

Damn, Furuya had a pretty bad start and Miyuki had to talk sense to him. At least that got him back on track. That cliffhanger is so painful though. Miyuki changed his footing as soon as he realised Umemiya was pitching his power curveball. Please hit it, Miyuki!

A good episode. Furuya sucking in the beginning as always. Damn that cliffhanger at the end. From what it looks like, Miyuki will of course hit the ball. Now let's see if it'll go for a homer or no.

I got annoyed at Furuya, so I was happy that Miyuki scolded him so hard. But that cliffhanger. Seriously? Ugh. Sawamura is as noisy as ever haha.

Fucking hell Furuya... I wasn't expecting 3 runs off the bat no pun intended but dayuuuum man! Miyuki putting him in his place like a real captain, Zono needs to stfu and follow suit. looking forward to the next episode, hoping we get the Furuya we saw in the first half against Teito or it's going to be an early day for him.

Sadly that's what most ptchers seem to in anime. Goro also thought he was all that at first.

But yeh, Miyuki was right.

Don’t let it get to you Furuya.

Oh hell nah, he got it. WAIT A HOME RUN?

Woah, Miyuki was straight up, he literally mentioned this before so I’m not surprised.
