Somehow, I got a bad feeling about what's to come next. I wasn't very fond of a particular someone this episode though even with their enthusiasm.

Well now we know who Blue Panther is, too bad it isn't Kanae the news reporter but this is still good and it's obvious that Jackal would figure it out her identity and eventually Misaki.

Moe is just so cute! And she beats Sakura when she tried to say something encouraging and says it herself. XD And in true anime fashion they didn't make Moe all cartoony when she was freaking out over the gym and from seeing Sakura like in the manga. And judging from the preview, it looks like Moe is putting Sakura in an Octopus Stretch and from a small preview of Volume 4, Sakura puts Moe in an Abdominal Stretch. Their match is gonna be SO good to see! :D

Unfortunately, minus a scene where Sakura apologizes to Misaki for accepting Blue Panther's match, this is where my knowledge of the series ends since this is where Volume 3 ended so I don't know what will happen next and I'll be watching the series blind now. Unless Volume 4 appears on the net of course.

I guess it goes to show that Moe really DOES look up to Sakura and wants to be like her. I'm also excited to see how these two battle it out. Win or lose for either of them, I'll still root for them both.

I wonder how Sakura's mask will look like in her match with Juri.

HanaKana vs TakeYana again lol

CybeastGregarX said:
Sakura isn't gonna wear a mask, she said Máscara contra Cabellera which is Spanish for Mask against Hair. In other words, Sakura will lose her long hair again if she loses along with retiring while Juri loses her mask if she loses.

Blue Panther vs Sakura..........I'm guessing that the last 2 episodes would be focus on these 2 alone.

CybeastGregarX said:
You never know, what we might get a match where Sakura takes on Misaki or something since we haven't seen them have an official match together save for their spar in episodes 3 and 4.

Considering that there is apparently a posting on some japanese book sites that there's a volume 5 to be released soon, so it looks like we may get a second season if the series does well at the end. Also, considering that there is no raws been uploaded yet for volume 4 we have no idea what happens during the upcoming matches, though I have sort of a prediction concering the fight the Blue Panther.

Looking at the volume 4 preview on the comic's website suggests that Moe's match happens after Panther's, so it may look like Sakura wins it. We will see this Sunday if my prediction is true, or someone is so generous as to post the volume 4 raws before Sunday will we find out what happens.

That was my favorite thing about this episode. It's like Kirino and Kuroneko stepping into the ring together.
