----------------------------------------
Noukin vs. Saitama Kouyou, and both sides get a fine taste of each of their rival team's capabilities, more thn Sakura trying to imitate Masato's styles from the past of teaching techniques.

We all know team captain Masato being Noukin's ace, but on Kouyou's side, it's all banking on Sakura to deliver while Hiro and the rest are on defense. To get Salura out this early is a setback for the Kouyou team as they essentially lose a stronghold, the interlinking chain that holds the team together.

Kouyou's always had it together with aspirations from sport to his only family, but when things get rough, he chckens out. It's only thanks to Hiro and the rest that Sakura's time on the court is lengthened, but going against Masato is another matter to surpass. Taking an L with an injury, Masato is out for the time being, but seeing Sakura with the determination to surpass the Noukin ace, it's gonna get good.

Looking forward to Sakura going all-out, unrestrained of expectations that anchor.

Game between Noukin and Kouyo, an intense match. The kick before the game was incredible.. He's just like the captain.
Yoigoshi's new technique was insane.. animation was amazing too.
Ojo was damn scary this ep..

Okay, so the match between Saitama Kouyou and Noukin is undergoing and we can already see some of the genius players like Sakura who has already left playing Kabaddi and is still ruling the court. But not for too long, our defense showed their strength and skills by stopping him in his tracks.

Yoigoshi looked like he had some kind of superpowers on the court like the way he was running and moving all around. It was interesting to see. Ojo once again showed why he's a beast in the court but with the power of flashbacks, Sakura managed to take Ojo down but couldn't prevent him from taking the four points.

2-11 is a huge point difference for Saitama Kouyou but they're looking motivated since their ace is pumped up as well and Ojo is out of the game till his bleeding completely stops.

This practice match is interesting because you can easily tell that both team are learning from each other and both are growing stronger during the match. Ususally in other practice match only one side learning happen because one team is much stronger than another team.

I like how they're developing Sakura.
But why did this suddenly turn into Naruto? I swear everyone was teleporting this episode.

They certainly have a lot of confidence in Sakura to call a lona for him.

Noukin Vs. Saitama Kouyou. Practice match was going intense. Sakura's character was given some insight. Also he was able to make a successful raid after Captain caught him. Also he was close to taking the captain down but he's Ojo Masato he won't go down that easily! I also liked that that they are actually implementing real techniques such as Dubki, Self Lona, and Feints. Only 2 more episodes left. Will they cover this interschool match in 2 episodes?

The best moment was when masato said that move was called "Dubki". Man, what is this feeling called.
By the way "Dubki" is a Hindi word which means "Dive".

Pretty good episode! Sakura is a beast himself but, he's no Ojo. Sakura's backstory was sad though, I can't imagine the pain when someone you love literally forgets about you. Man, them teleporting and shit had me tripping lmao, but that's one way to demonstrate speed. That sharp cut of Yoigoshi was dope. Sakura bout to go off next episode.

yeah 100% agreed and I think VAs should try to hold their breath when they Kabaddi while raiding.
Other than that it was a pretty good episode

sakura is a beast in his own but you gotta give it up to ojo and his instincts in how in milisecs managed to face the mat sideways and reach with the extended elbow

Looks like Noukin is managing to hold their own against Kouyou just fine for now. Even though they're up by 9, Ojo is out and Sakura is a strong player so they still can't relax just yet.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol.

Sakura is so ridiculously hot. He’s the definition of what they mean by bagel boy in korean. Cute face hot bod. Yummy.

Can’t wait to see how he turns it around (or not) these episodes are definitely picking up. I prefer it when it’s more character-focused but I get that they really gotta explain the sport too. Finding out about dubki & lona was interesting!!







but i’ll probably remember over and over again

All episodes are so far from reality.
when 2nd time that other school raider came to raid and everybody just start to hold his leg one by one ,it is completely shit, first man correct for thigh hold but the second one should him by waist and dash him.
and i see a character who has hair all over his face ,how is he able to defend. and they defend in single line ,they have to move in rhythm.

9:20 of the anime; Oujou called that technique "dupki", which is really funny to me as a native Hindi speaker, as it translates to "dive". I really like this information as even I was not really familiar with that wording in Kabaddi haha. I like that the mangaka has done good research on it.

Why wasn't Sakura penalized for being so brutal with his tackle. Is it ok in Kabaddi to hurt your opponents till they bleed?
I am better than you.

We've got ourselves an ace here. Sakura has it all: strength, speed, agility and intelligence. Noukin need to be careful. Sakura tho is way too focused on surpassing Ojo, it's actually kinda scary in a way.

I was surprised they actually used 'Dubki' instead of translating it into something else like dive. They should try using other Hindi words as well. They are more impactful.

That wasn't intentional. Penalization occurs only if it's intentional. Whether it's intentional or not is decided by the match referee. Kabaddi is a rough game so occasionally, an injury like that is inevitable.

Some crazy plays made by both teams with Noukin taking the lead. Hiro is quite the great friend for sticking by Sakura's side and even creating a Kabaddi club for him to return to.
