----------------------------------------
Beautiful episode! I wish there was a little more focus on Hibito, but his parts showed some hope so I was pretty glad. :)

But ahhh, Mutta and Kenji. ;_; It sucks because I love Kenji so much, but I just want Mutta to go to the moon more. I hope it'll end up that they can both go. However, Kenji has always had obstacles in his way of the moon - obstacles that I think, he should value more than going to the moon. If he was an astronaut, he would miss his whole daughter's childhood. I think that he would regret it, the way he is.

Great episode, though. :) I love the ocean and it's so interesting to see everyone in a new position. Can't wait for the competitions!

I thought Mutta would have asked further when he heard about Hibito having problems but he's much more focused on his current task it seems. I'm really liking the sea training so far, it's too bad he is going to have to compete with Kenji for the position but this makes the show more interesting IMO. The current teammates seem okay as well. I want to know more about Andy, hopefully we get a little story about him. Fun episode.

Something is going happen between Mutta and Kenji, why else would they show all those bro moments.

I think they're just showing how competitive it really is to get into space. If you think about how few of the potential candidates have made it this far, and how many of them will still fall by the way, it's pretty unlikely that Serika, Mutta, and Kenji can all be successful. I suspect that we'll see family issues derail Kenji. Having a young family and becoming an astronaut would really be a tough task. One of the two is going to suffer.

Competing head on head with a close friend for the same position is really tough though. If you're not careful it can lead to hurt feelings.
Please don't feed the trolls!

GODDAMN SPOILER.

Yeah, I'm quite sure now that Kenji won't become an astronaut, look at the preview. Seeing that expression on him... wow. Obviously he values his family and that will likely be what he will put first, unlike Mutta who doesn't have that to be concerned with. Or maybe Kenji is selected but gives up his spot to Mutta (if that is possible). We'll see.

On another note, this arc is quite interest so far. :D

This looks like another great arc, hope we'll see Hibito from time to time, i assumed the worst enemy in the title meant Andy, despite looking like a scary fellow he seems to be a nice guy, i can't see Mutta beating Kenji but i agree with everyone's speculation about Kenji getting derailed and Mutta taking the spot.

WHAT HAPPENS TO KENJI'S DAUGHTER AAAAAAAAAA

Damn previews, why do I always watch them. Btw, it's obvious that only one of them will go to the moon, we'll see who.

Anyway, Kenji x Mutta is the best bromance, even better than Mutta x Hibito.

I was so glad when I see Mutta and Kenji in the same team. But I think it won't end that well.

NOOOO!!! I was so glad Kenji is gonna be main for now and we'll finally see him working with Mutta but then we had to find out only one of them are chosen T_T

And the PV doesn't make it seem any better :(

Since Mutta's the MC and Sharon telescope plan isn't far away I hope wins this one. Kenji can go nxt year with ease. Still feel bad though.

But really. I love how this series keeps introducing new characters every arc and make u get so attached to them. I can already tell that Monster will be awesome XD

Love this new arc about underwater training. And Kenji and Mutta in the same team but only one will be chosen? Really looking forward to it. Btw, I am so glad there is no extra Hibito anime in the end.. I am enjoying every episode to the fullest!

Seeing the fish reminded me of that one candidate who wanted to see what other life would be like out in space. Been awhile since I thought of him. But ha, these new characters are an interesting lot to be tossed in with. As happy as I was to see Kenji back it really was tinged with a certain amount of sadness knowing that they are competing. This time I'm certain they aren't going to do what they had done before with having us only think one could go.

Ahhhh what an awesome episode! LOVE the friendship moments between Mutta and Kenji ... like helping each other up :') Unfortunately only one of them can advance ... DARN IT BUTLER! You totally planned this out didn't you ... here I thought the "worst enemy" was referring to Andy but instead it's going to be the competition between the two rookies :( That said I'm interested to see more of George and Andy. Pretty funny about Andy bumping into stuff ... I thought he was doing it on purpose lol :P
Glad that Hibito's getting some help to continue with his training! Keep working at it! Both brothers are working hard :D
Unfortunately looks like something happens to Kenji's daughter next episode ... nooooo! How could this happen T_T I believe you can figure it out! D:

I'm skipping previews :o

Underwater training is pretty cool as far as anime goes, in real life i'd lose my shit.
Marine life in general just creeps me out.

Aw Andy's just a misunderstood giant. He kind of looks like a SnK character.

NEEMO seems like a great place to dive to with all those surroundings
Mutta got a nice team with Kenji, whatever the selection may turn out to

Ahhhh! And here I was being happy that Mutta and Kenji were on the same team for once. I remember being sad back during the first stages when Mutta and Kenji were on separate teams. Now that they're finally on the same team, they're competing against each other. ;-;

I really hate to say it, but I feel like Kenji is more qualified than Mutta too, which makes it sting all the more, because we all but know that Mutta will come out on top. (It's not that I don't want Mutta to make it; to have Kenji get cast aside in the process is rough...) Space Brothers has never shied away from reminding us that everyone involved here is human, has their own hopes and dreams, etc., whether or not they make it. Even though we're seeing Mutta's dream come true, how many others have been squashed or delayed in the process?

That's life, though.

Seeing Mutta and Kenji's friendship is so heartwarming. It just makes the whole situation even more sad.

Man, I have a feeling something 'bad' is going to happen between Kenji and Mutta :/

Good to see Hibito continuing with his 'rehab'. Seems that one of the team members dropped a hint to Mutta, wonder if he'll found out more about Hibito's condition through that guy... I hope he wont lose his focus for the NEEMO training though

Kenji and Mutta best bromance as usual. Only bad thing about this episode was being told that only one of them would be picked. Whoever put them on the same team is a dick >:(

IF PICKED I wonder how long until Mutta would be going to the moon. Hibito needs more time to heal... so I'm almost rooting for Kenji to go this time, Mutta can go later with Hibito...

Roo-ra to Kenji and Mutta.

Too bad they are rivals :(

Well shit. Not only are Mutta and Kenji rivals now but Kenji is also winning. Also good that Hibito can secretly train but I wonder how he will convince NASA to give him another chance.
The only opinion that should matter to you is yours.

So good to be back with Mutta. Looks like Mutta will have to beat Kenji in order to go to the moon. I want to see Mutta and Kenji go to space but sorry only one can go. Kenji will have to wait another time
