Lol good ep. The previous catcher before Chris was scared shitless of Sawamura's throws. Anyways don't you guys think Sawamura sucks a little too much? I know the author isn't trying to make him the cliche overpowered main character but he's just way too bad. He completely screwed up every single pitch after all that practice.

I think that kinda adds to his charm and makes him relatable(sp) to the viewers. Plus, it'll make his skill and actual character growth satisfying to watch as it happens.

Great episode!!! Amazing how Chris turned the game. Love the teamwork too. It was risky indeed but a very well thought game plan by Chris. Clap Clap for that. And that younger pink haired dude is impressive too. He is even the leadoff hitter! No wonder the older brother is scared of his younger bro's skills. Gotta love Miyuki too. He is not scared of the idea that Chris might take his position in the 1st string. Man, CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEXT EPISODE!!!!!!!!!!

Lovely episode. Nice game! Although, I would like Sawamura pitches to be perfect I understand there is character development but at the same time I really wish this anime would quit messing up the serious moments with comic relief. It was funny the first few times but now I expect it to happen. So when he was about pitch at the beginning I knew he would mess up. Smh

When Chris's eyes came to life, that hit me right in the feels. It's so cool to see how much respect they all have for him(the Coach as well), and especially Miyuki, considering that he and Chris are in direct competition with one another. What a great episode this was, and what a show this is turning out to be.

That is a really nasty skill. He just needs to refine it, and it would be a really powerful pitch.

He's not simply 'not scared' - being Miyuki, he's craving for a fight with Chris for the starting catcher spot.

Yes, he can, easily. But he won't be doing it in the near future - he's in the 1st string, not the 2nd, so he technically has no right to even work with Sawamura unless Sawamura makes 1st string. That's why he talked to Chris about Sawamura in the first place - at this point he himself has no right and time to help Sawamura develop his potential, but Chris does and is talented enough himself to help Sawamura make 1st string in a record time, where Sawamura will finally be within reach for Miyuki as well. Well, there're 2 spots in the 1st string open, and it's pretty obvious that Miyuki's ideal case scenario is for Sawamura and Chris to be the ones to take them.

Ah, I totally forgot Chris can also be advanced to 1st string also. LOL.

But next week seems Chris will meet with some upsetting issues.

7/10 for this episode.
Isayama Hajime should be awarded The Manga with The Highest Inconsistencies of Characters' Appearances.
He keeps performing multiple plastic surgeries on those Shingeki No Kyojin characters in a SINGLE chapter.
Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga.
Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month.
Patiently awaiting SNK TV/movie/OVA anime-sequel.
The 2015 SNK live-action movie would probably suck.

Can't wait to see Sawamura's final form. Also, it looks like the blonde guy of the rival team might be related to Chris' old injury.

Chris was awesome there with his plan. Also great to see Eijun show some progress with his new form as before he was just self-taught without actually understanding how to pitch, hopefully soon he'll be able to strike.
