A very satisfying good episode!
everyone went our hearts doki-doki-suru!
Koyori successfuly countered Kururi's curve drive! Koyori really knows how to adopt and counter any types strategies in Takkyuu! Counter Smash made Koyori win against Kururi!
If they've never seen Kururi get cornered! then that simply means that Koyori should really be in 1st place ranking and 2nd place is Agari.
Kazuro is such a good friend to Kururi! Kururi must treasure it because win or loose it won't change the fact that they are still friends!
That scorching end was so great!!!
5/5!

I just got caught up with this series and oh my lord that final episode was fucking amazing. Especially with the enjoyment and the final scene, that scene itself was pure sakuga fest! ;_;

This is probably one of my favorite shows from this season after catching up honestly, also I do like how this was resolved in a sense, her "doki doki" basically helped Kururi in a sense, she turned back into a normal person. In a way xD

Technical groping explained. Yuri ships got real strong.
Koyori vs Kururi was awesome, those wild poses, tornado, doki doki, on the spot learning, the techno, everything was intense.

I definitely loved this episode a lot! The match between Koyori and Kururi was just absolutely amazing! I was worried how Koyori was going to return back those smashes that Kururi had pulled off in the beginning. I was surprised to see how the ball was able to curved so slightly off the table when Kururi was able to create like a tornado effect with her curve drive. I'm glad they showed a flashback having Agari practicing with Koyori on how to find that sweet spot in order to counteract against the curve drive. It really did help wonders.

I had a feeling that Kururi was not going to give up that easily and she put everything in her power once Koyori had already figured out her curve drive technique. That match felt so intense and I was rooting all the way for Koyori with her heart-racing moment as she was incredible with that sweet spot effect. I know my heart felt racing at times though. :)

It was an awesome match and I think they both learned something. Though Kururi had lost, I'm glad that Zakuro was able to comfort her and her teammates were inspired by her great play out there. Koyori has got so much better after each play she was up against and I'm proud of her that she was able to find her reason why she loved table tennis so much. Kururi looked so vibrant and very cute when she realized her error and got to chat with Koyori afterwards.

Next episode looks to be about the tournament and we'll get some more of good plays out there. I was hoping there would be another season as the show has been one of my favorites shows I've seen for a sports anime. But I'm OK with that so my heart is going doki-doki style for the next episode! :3

I really thought Koyori would just direct the ball away from the table with her smash, to use the curve effect to make it actually hit the table ^^' (seemed the obviously solution, XD )
but, they actually used something more "technical"

anyway, I like the ending of the match... when Kururi put her all in that weird smash, but Koyori hit it back... I think they should put more moments like that... normally the matches are way too predictable because they make too obvious that one side is dominating (and when the other side make something to turn the wave, is also obvious that will dominate from now on)...
I miss scenes like that, when one player make something, and they actually give an atmosphere that is something great, but in the end, isn't enough... if had more scenes like that, the matches would be less predictable (although, in this one, was obvious that Koyori would win, XD )


well.. now the wind-Master creepy girl gained light effects in her eyes, XD

Ending wasn't too surprising, but it was fun to watch nonetheless.

Really enjoyed this episode. Well, Koyori-chan was able to turn the yandere into a friendly yandere. Kururi realize that her friendship with Zakuro is real, no need to pay anything. ^___^

that last return by Koyori is awesome. I like how they added battle shounen elements into pingpong.

Kururi acted like she had already won after the very first score lol. What a surprise, her opponent was able to counter her play when she used literally one trick the entire game.

Kudos to the animator though, very well animated sakuga.

Great match.

Kururi crying at the end was an emotional moment. Zakuro and the other team members were so proud of her.

So Kururi's Borderlien Personality Disorder was fixed by her losing at a ping pong match?

A sports miracle.
Pretend there's something flashy and cool here.

that was great but what did kururi expect? using that one single move as her like only thing wont get you far.
actually thats the issue with basically every player in the show. they all have 1 key move that makes them "good" and they lose because the opponent learned how to deal with that move
