| Well... Ochiai.. In YOUR FACE!!! Wamuura lol.. If we look back, kanemaru also grown so much to the point that i almost forgot that he was such a whiny brat And dont be surprised, in term of talent alone, sawamura might be better than furuya, that's what shogun said when the series still new |
| When you see Haruicchi's eye, you know things are going down! This episode was awesome, even if I watched it super late. I can't stop screaming when Sawamura pulled off that three strikeouts in a row. This frame says it all, and that smoke from Miyuki's glove.  Haruicchi and Kuramochi's play was epic too! This team is really the best! Hope Furuya doesn't do any regretful in the future. |
| I feel bad for people who never watched Dia no Ace ;_; They have no idea what they're missing ;_; |
 |
| yosh! yosh! yosh! i have been waiting for sawamura new style !! so excited for next episodes !! |
| did sawamura only used one type of grip when he pitched change ups? |
| Cty Best mid |
Kurokokoy said: did sawamura only used one type of grip when he pitched change ups? He used a combination of the palm ball and circle changeup. His palm ball is the one that looks like it breaks down and away from a right-handed batter (though it does more of the latter). His circle changeup slows down more and breaks down/away from a right-hander too (though it breaks more down than away). |
| YES YES YESSS! So proud of Sawamura and Seido! I cried three times this episode, once when Sawamura first used his change up, once when they won, and then again when Go-chan cried. Onto ep 26! |
R2D3 said: Pretty much this.Lol at Ochiai sweating and remembering what he said to Harucchi after he scored that homerun.This ep had so much going for it: Eijun prooving that he gunna take that ace spot one day XD Haruichi proving he gat the skills for a wooden bat and shoving it in Ochais face :3 and showing that he can fill big bro Ryo's shoes. I understand Furuya is threatened by Eijun with him vying for his ace position and all but damn,it seemed as if he was more pissed/jealous at Eijun for doing well on the mound and less elated about the fact that Eijun's pitching was helping them win. |

| YOSH YOSH YOSH Sawamura did it! |

| Osu! Osu! Osu! Sawamura with the feels this episode :) Now take that ace position! I love the change up animation. On to the semifinals! |
TeriyakiNinja007 said: Watched a bit of the episode today, and from what I can remember this is the first match Sawamura used breaking ball.R4vel said: In addition to the really satisfying conclusion, that Haru and Kuramochi duo showing their capability really made me happy. Unfortunate for team was sacrificed for Sawamura's breaking ball haha. talk about digging shit up from the grave but I really couldn't ignore your last sentence. Please correct me if I've misinterpreted, but I don't believe the team was sacrificed for Sawamura's case as he was able to 1) show that he could somewhat competently throw the changeup while he was at the bullpen and 2) was told before the game, to only use it when they were in the lead. I believe this situation is different to sacrificing team for Furuya as everyone at that point in time knew that he had a weak early game and still needs to work on his stamina(roll). This game was different. Despite giving up two runs in the first inning, Sawamura did not concede anymore runs from the second inning. Sawamura being able to throw the changeup showed that he is starting to grow into a reliable pitcher and step up as a potential candidate for the ace position. If he had failed then, I think he would've been subbed out because no one single player is worth more than the team. Just my two cents. Awesome episode overall and Sawamura is definitely giving Furuya a run for his money. Their battle for the ace number is starting now! ps. understandably, Sawamura's chant can be a bit hard to hear. But going by what the animators have put on-screen, he's saying "おーし！おし！おし！(ooshi! oshi! oshi!)" with the "shi" pronounced more as a "sh". Now, may we all chant with confidence with Sawamura So basically to me it felt like the opposing team in this match (I think Onoya or something) was sacrificed/lost just for the sake of showing Sawamura's growth Hopefully I got my message across properly, excuse my grammatical mistakes. |
| OMG o_O I can't believe what I'm seeing ... Sawamura really improved a lot and became reliable. He also pitched the all game, Way to go, man! This is what I've been waiting for so long, a perfect (well, almost) game from Sawamura. Really tired of Furuya and all the attention around him, when the protagonist is Sawamura. Also, in the previous game, with all that talk from Sawamura about Furuya being the ace made me think the show was going down, but now, this game changed my mind. Can't wait for the next game! |
| This Oya match wasn't bad, I actually sorta started liking Oya including Go-chan and dam glad the Sergeant got proved wrong when all the players he called bad, played super good. |
| Eijun is really dominating with that new change up. Even the crowd was repeating his chant! That home run tho! |
 |
| Don´t cry Wakayashi! kekeke |
| Great episode, they made it without Furuya, Seidou is on a roll. But I always feel bad for the opponents. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| My favorite episode of the season so far *_* |
| I think it was the first time we saw Haruichi's eye. No wonder he hit a home run as he could see it properly, jk. He really did well here. What a great episode overall. Eijun owned the game like a boss! |
  |
| Sawamura is really showing Furuya how an ace plays. |

| Sawamura is so good here!! Kominato hit homerun using wooden bat! Ochiai feel ashamed to what he said to him before xD |
| Proverbs 4:23 Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. |
| Yes! Yes! Yes! This is actually a huge milestone for Eijun as not only he now has a breaking ball but this is as far as I remember the first time at Seidou he has pitched all innings of a match. |
 |
| "He might get on the same level as Furuya" Oof props to that high praise coming from Miyuki yossha!!! Sawamura's face when he got praised can't get over my head 😂 Cute and funny! This whole episode is just wholesome. Harucchi home run?? *clap clap* Oshiai better be reflecting in himself :P (Coming from a person rewatching the whole DnA lol) And Sawamura pitching until the end? HECK YEAH Liking that last bits of Go-chan crying :) |
  𝑇𝐼𝑃𝑆 𝐼𝑁 𝐺𝐼𝑁𝑇𝐴𝑀𝐴 - NOT your usual shounen anime - Pure comedy? DEAD WRONG - Treat Gintama as SoL/weekly sitcom especially earlier seasons - Ep 1 & 2 are for manga readers - BIG patience for its 'slow' start |
| Oh my gosh he finally did the change up!! Nobody is underestimating you dude, Seido is actually taking you guys very seriously. I’m so happy for Eijun!!! Finally he’s starting to grow as a pitcher!! Haruichi for a home run!! I’m so proud of him!! Our boys are growing!! In your face assistant coach!! Furuya you need to focus on recovering!! YES LETS GOO EIJUN!! EVERYONE IS GROWING!! YES!! YES!! YESS!! |
 |
| It is so satisfying to see Chris's proud face, and also when everyone starts to acknowledge Sawamura much more! Furuya obviously can't stand still after Sawamura's changeup, hehe. What's with the sudden home run from Harucchi? That's so unexpected because I would have liked more screen time when he hit that home run. As always, he's so cute when blushing :3. Serve it right to that Oaichi coach! Harucchi proved his words are wrong. |
 |
| THAT’S MY ACE!! Let’s go Eijun First full game hell yea |
