| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- This is some pretty intense training Jotaro is undertaking there. There's obviously some drama among these guys but I think Jotaro can handle himself. I suppose this episode also gives an impression of how tough competition is ahead with some of those skilled competitors. |

| Ninja actor while missing. He was a ballerina in London. He seems to want to find something for himself and requested that he stay in Japan for a longer. He had trouble? lol @ the daughter being the scissorhand. Hirakawa-san's character is coach of Japan representative. in China now. So HiroC's character is the top of China representatives? KajiKaji's character immediately challenged him (his personality likes to challenge others?). HiroC's character's score is higher, though. NamiDai's character, then, being my pace and challenged himself as if it is a practice. Interaction and practice. Nice, coach bringing daughter to visit main character on her b-day. Ninja actor following KajiKaji's character around, then they got lost. Not having sense of direction? Hirakawa-san's character found them. Female Chinese competitor is the fan of the actress who passed away. Officially end of practice, but HiroC's character still practices. HiroC's character seems to be a long-time competitor, too. Talk w. main character, who happens to see him. He asked main character why he is still here when he's already in limit (saying he knows his limit and when he should retire). Main guy said he would continue do the gymnast until he dies. After back in Japan, main guy said he wants to do 4 rotations... |
I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| I thought it was going to be drama/dark moment for Rei but no it was just...kitty-chan haha Jotaro is definitely motivated now, I hope he will succeed. |
 |
| Now I understand why Liu Longxiang is on top of the gymnastic world, he really is impressive ! Ashhk said: I thought it was going to be drama/dark moment for Rei but no it was just...kitty-chan haha Yeah I was also worried for Rei but it turned out to be a wholesome moment with a fan of her mom haha |
| The music in the beginning with Leo gave me strong Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso/Fruits Basket vibes. I love Masaru Yokoyama's music so much <3 Leo's story is really interesting. I prefer him a lot in his emotional/dramatic moments. That's where his character shines the most. |

| Wow, that was some graceful ballet moves from Leo. Hope to see more in the future. Joe is surely becoming a better and interesting main character as of late compared to the early episodes. He's like a kid moving around unbothered while a little tension was already building up around him. And that sudden stop after completing the aragaki was so unexpected but refreshing to watch. Who would have thought he just want to try it out hhahaha. And wow, Kamiya Hiroshi as Lui! Been so long since I've heard him talk a lot. He has few lines in Haikyuu so hearing him talk a lot here and moreover laugh is such a bliss! His voice matches well with Lui's personality. I agree with Lui. They are not getting young so while at your peak, do your best. However, I love seeing Joe being so passionate about his dreams. He is not motivated by being on the top (like some sour guy we know in a bandana hehheheh) but giving his all to something he is really passionate about. This series is surprisingly getting steadily better and growing on me. Looking forward for more! |
| Leo acting out his dancing ballerina activites IS JUST SLICK. He's not just the Sumarai Ninja, but the Ballerina Ninja, and the journey to get there isn't an easy one, from Japan to London. Rachel Scissorhands though... The main meat being the training between the Japanese and Chinese teams, and Tetsuo draws first blood against the China elites, especially the topman king Liu Longxiang, and as historically complete as it is in Olympics, China always has the upper hand when it comes to sports, and the camaraderie between nations strong. As expected, Jotaro sure likes to show off for awhile...still retaining to minimal injuries. Some quality time between Leo and Tetsuo, but it's like the breath of fire in a perfectionist world. Rei has a fan? Kitty-chan! So much for "like mother like daughter" sharing inheritance traits. To see Jotaro in a pool of young-and-upcoming gymnasts, the scuffing with a former Chinese Olympic gymnast who's on the brink of oust and reaching their limits, there's no limit to trying even if age disallows. Try harder Jotaro! "Learn till old, live till old." - A Chinese proverb |
 |
| Nice episode. Now Rei can get a friend otherr than the bird. And I guess Leo had a similar problem than the other guy: Being pretty strong at his sports but probably having lost to someone that was even better. The mother (?) of Leo has a nice voice actress. ;) |
| Rei and her fan’s moment was cute. Joe is going to try a quadruple flip, wow. |
 |
| Kamiya Hiroshi's character is here ^w^ i liked the confront between Jotaro and the highest scoring chinese gymnast. Liu asked sarcastically if he would train to death ... and our man said yes am still intrigued by Minamino's determination, if there is any background or something and the whole run training and getting lost with Leo was so cute >.< |
| One of the better episodes. Finally, we know more about Leo. Minamino is just too intense. Kamiya-san makes his appearance, yay! |
  |
| HEE'S A DANCER!?!?! MUCH LESS FROM THE UK!?!?!?! So it's not Leo, it's Leonardo. and omggg his voice is actually naturally deeper than how he usually talks okay, wow. WHEN SHE COSPLAYED EDWARD SCISSORS HANDS YESSS I WAS HIM FOR HALLOWEEN THIS YEAR LMFAOOOOO Aww, when Jotaro got excited after doing the Aragaki triple thingyy^^ Mr. #1 champion of the world over here got me drooling Glad there are no tense feelings due to Jotaro not coming home for Rei's birthday :) The girl with the purple hair omgg she's a fan of Mrs. Aragaki that's the sweetest thing ever. |

| might be the best episode this far. Leo is a dancer from London, intersting... Seeing Jotaro's little chat with Liu was nice. Rei meeting other chinese gymnasts too. Aragaki is back into the groove doing the Triple Flip but guess what! he's gonna win by adding MORE FLIPS. Will be cool to see the aragaki mark 2 |
 |
| Okay i found out over writing this episode. Lol. Finally they revealed the backstory of Leonardo. She was a ballet dancer at a great city of London that somehow getting a stage fright later on. Well, so thats the reason behind his escape from the first episode. Interesting. Even he had a time limit until the next winter to overcome his weaknessess, or else, he might get a punishment from those lady boss. So thats the reason behind his sudden comeback at the previous episode. Damn! Meanwhile, the joint training camp with Chinese people was nice. Absolutely Minamino took the first met as a chance to test the water, the level of competence between him and the king of gymnast, Liu! How funny that Jotaro didn't give a shit with their fights, rather, he just enjoyed his visit and felt the nostalgic vibes he had at those place. Lol, as expected as he was! Intriguing that in the background, he might had a crush, maybe, by the look of those young chinese lady, that later its revealed that she was actually a fan of Jotaro wife. Lol. What a revelations! Unfortunately the rest of those Kitty girl role was still unknown, and somehow she just befriended with Rachel. Hmm interesting how those subplot ended to whats direction. At the other side, its good to see some good chemistry within Leo and Minamino. They both had the same struggle as a lone wolf, tried to conquer their own goals. However, its looks like Minamino was more determined than Leo, by seeing his expression. Its would be nice if it can be Leo's character development to overcome his own fear. Then, the last line between Liu and Jotaro was something. The backstory of those brilliant chinese gymnast started from Joe, and making Liu laugh at his good time by listening to Joe conclusion. Its simply a nice conversation afterall between them. The determination has been setting up within them. Its even ended up nicely to see both of them giving their support to each others, even though Joe involvement was so indirect. At least, they both had a nice chemistry. And As the result of their conversation, Jotaro needed to step up his technique into a wholly new level. Could he do that? |

| What a good episode. Finally some background information about Leo. My guess is that Leo maybe lost in a competition and put too much pressure on himself so that the dissapointment was too big for him to handle. I really like this anime, still disappointed with the rating. |
| Fantastic episode, we now find out more about Leo and he is a dancer from London. Indeed Leo's dance was really beautiful. I hope if he's really gonna go back to London permanently, at least he should be allowed to say farewell to the Aragaki's. All those gymnasts all serious and shit while Joe over here just reminiscing lmao. Interesting interaction between Minamino and Leo. Oh damn, a quadruple huh, The Aragaki MKII let's fucking go. |
 |
| We finally learned more about Leo, so he's a ballet dancer from London. His time in Japan won't last for much longer unfortunately. Jotaro is gonna do a quadruple? If that's what it'll take for him to be at a level that's higher than the Chinese gymnasts, and even his fellow Japanese gymnasts, then so be it, but I hope he doesn't hurt himself. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
Very good episode. focused on china training is Japan. |
| They really put the OST to work this time, uh? Pretty nice episode. I simply love how coolheaded Joutarou is regarding his goals. Of course he's not seeking for the top, he just wants to keep doing what he loves while he still can and that's perfectly fine. So... guess the pressure as a prodigy dancer was too much for Leo so he ended up running away, uh? |
| Liu was quiet the whole time and then it turns out he is voiced by Kamiya Hiroshi, wow. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Nice Rei chan got a female friend. |
 |
| So Leo is a ballet dancer? That was something I didn't expect, but it actually makes sense. My heart broke a little when it was revealed that he can only stay with the Aragaki's until the end of winter... It's going to be so sad to see them part ways. I love seeing people doubt and try to drag Jotaro down and every single time, he just brushes them off. He knows he's past his prime but he's still doing what he loves and that is so damn inspiring. It was so funny when he did the Aragaki and jumped off the pole... pretty underwhelming after Lui & Minamino haha 😂 |
 |
| So Leo is a dancer from London. We need an episode of him. I loved how calm Jotaro was and how happy he was to do the Aragaki. |
 |
| Ohhh. Leo is a ballet dancer in London trying to bring back his passion for dancing. Jo is surely motivated to win, he's up to something! I hope he will perfect his Aragaki Mark II and win.  |
| Joe might not be sharpest tool in the box but he has a lot of heart. Minamino has yet to grow out of his angsty shounen rival schtick, which is underwhelming, since the rest of the cast is pretty good. |
| Jotaro sure looks pumped up. He's doing great as it is but he definitely won't win with just Aragaki. |
 |
| Honestly expected Leo to also be a gymnast and not a ballerina dancer but his moves are pretty slick and I can see why he takes such a liking to Jotaro seeing that they are in a way very similiar. |
 |
| I still don't care about Leo despite how funny it was the beginning with him being all dramatic and the three other guys just watching him. Rei's scenes still the best ones. |
