Okay episode. I honestly wanted to slap that Coach SO HARD. But because of the ending he probably has some idea in his head that he wants the middle-schoolers to become better than the high schoolers or whatever.

What annoying high-schoolers! What a biased coach! ): ... Or so I would say, but as always, I bet he's showing the middle schoolers some "tough love". Sigh.

Loved how Kin-chan and Ryoma were the energetic dudes there. :D

Next episode: Sneaking into the training camp! I have noooo idea what that has to do with tennis, really, but it looks like plenty of fun! xD

Yeah, I noticed that too... thought it was just lazy animation work though.

I wonder where they keep all the tricycles and shovels, though... the building does not seem big enough for all that equipment plus beds, even if they are only enough for half the group.

Also, I bet there is some benefit to sleeping in the cave, I hope we find out about that soon.

The Data Tennis Duo was amazing, glad to see it being put to use at last.

Well, all I can say with the episode is I WANNA HUG THE LOSERS, especially Sanada and Kenya D:

I love Kin-chan and Ryoma's energy; I guess that made the sempais work harder.

As much as I want to kill the coach RIGHT AWAY, I know that the Spartan training he implemented with the middle-schoolers is a way of making them stronger.

I also got impressed with Yanagi and Inui's data collection. That part was the BOMB of the whole episode.

Looking forward to the next episode! Mada mada dane :D

Awww man if Inui got to use his waterfall serve , end of game :). That Niou should have copied Tezuka and use tezuka zone though , the whole game would be alot simpler.

Anyone got the "Holes" reference?
I thought that was pretty neat.

Ryoma: " You high schoolers who lost to middle schoolers have no position to talk. " Well said Ryoma!
Ryoma and Kin-chan being energetic was soooo cute. *-*
Inui and Renjii pair was the best part!
I'm looking forward to the next episode.

DATA PAIR FTW :) But that idiot coach didn't let them win T_T

Btw, what kind of training is this? It's more like concentration camp than tennis camp...

Having the same high school kids be villains is a bit lame. I'm not saying they have to be friends. Just be neutral.

Lol so Tenipuri is basically now an action/battle shounen, the hole digging part reminded me of shounen training arcs. (And that preview! Laser beams!) I'm really enjoying this though, this whole season has been fun so far!

Loved how Ryoma and Kintaro were basically having fun during all the training tasks even though it seemed pointless and despite everyone else complaining/struggling through it. I laughed out loud when I saw them on the tiny tricycles. Ryoma and Kin-chan doubles fail though XD Meanwhile data tennis strikes back! It was nice to see Yanagi and Inui work together.

And lol @ them imagining the winners at the camp... I definitely saw a maid in the background lol. I'm sure the winners are being pushed hard though, which I'm sure we'll see later on.
