| Yeah, but it was clear at this point Nice episode, but I missed more focus on the fights... It seems they put everything in this one episode, they needn't to rush it like that.. |

| Awesome episode, I believe it was the best so far. All the developments are coming together now and it's just perfectly set up for the end of the series. Can't wait for next ep ! |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| I expected Tama to lose due to all the foreshadowing but man I did not think it would happen that badly D: |
 |
| That was quick. Still a great episode, since it had some scenes with REIMI!! :D |

| Great episode. It's too bad that Miya-Miya gave up too soon. I bet she could have been much better but her confidence just wasn't enough. Poor Tama. Her first loss. :O I wonder what will happen now? I guess individual matches from now on? |
     |
| Random thought: I think it'd be funny if Dan wins the guy's singles tournament and becomes the one to save Ishida's job. I want to know where they're going with the two deliquents. A guy's team? They'd be one short though. |
| Glad I took the time to convert the mkv to high res. The fight scenes made the wait worth it. |
 |
| No tama! but DAN-KUN was so pro today. |
 |
| That was a lot for one episode, right? Poor, Tama. But now she can come back stronger than ever! ;D Can't wait until the next episode! |
  |
| It was about time the overpower Tama lost... |
| That was quite the intense ending. The foreshadowing was kind of blatant, but it was still kind of a shock. What was with the other two kids? Who cares about them? I wonder what is going to happen next, no more major tournaments to set up, at least not in this amount of time. Maybe there will be a focus on the singles tournament, but that would kind of defeat the whole team build up. |
 |
 The first taste of defeat. It was bad enough Tama still can't get over the ascension stance and in addition, Rin was the one using it. Kenzaburou was always expecting this to happen. It's better for someone like Tama to lose to someone her age so she won't break down. So what now, I guess both teams are still advancing? |

I would think it be better if she lost to someone older then her. At least if they where older she could have the feeling of "oh that person was more powerful then me because they have more experience". She's probably gonna suffer more now because of the fact that they're the same age. This is kind of like what happened in Prince of Tennis. Ryoma ended up sucking for a day or two because of his first real loss to someone his own age. This episode it felt like Tama was robbed. She was too focused on her memory's about her mom and that's what's so stupid about how she lost. I'm truly pissed at how it happened. It would have felt better if it was a real win were they where both trying and had no distractions. This was just way to fast and way to one sided. I can only hope Tama overcomes her weakness and slaughters this bitch in the finals (if their even in it now). /end tama-chan rant |

| Rin blatantly said Tama's weakness was not her skill, but her focus. The other Sensei wanted her to lose to someone her age so she could not make any excuses and realize that she's not unbeatable. Expected, but still sad. That said, I did got the vibes Yuuji wanted to restore the men's branch of the Kendo club, though I don't know what showing those two guys being thugs have to do in the overall scheme of things. And yes, I'm guessing Dan-kun and Yuuji-kun are the last hope for Muroe High now, which will put a sense of irony in the whole thing. |

They've foreshadowed she would lose due to her mental state for episodes now. This was a great episode. I couldn't care less if it's foreshadowing her mental state. The way she lost was robbery no matter how you look at it :P. Her overall focus isn't the problem, it's only when she sees that move that her mom used to use that she looses focus. Playing someone your own age and losing is much harsher then playing someone older. Tama is gonna have a hard time keeping focus <i>now</i> because of it. |

DeathfireD said: Hence she will have to overcome it. She can't make an excuse anymore, that's HER weakness, and unless she can overcome it she will get beaten over and over with it. Obviously, she will get over it next time, since we are about done.AnimusNathan said: DeathfireD said: This episode it felt like Tama was robbed.

| Sokku desu ... Kawaii Tama lost But the match itself really great, from ascension stance to one handed style and got "men" really great Rin-san. And the last "men" also impressive since it's the greatest move of Tama. Braver never lost cause they represent justice... Really good quote from there too Hope Tama will grow from this lose and become stronger |
| I'm not sure if I hate Rin or not. Tama losing was disheartening but she'll probably be back to kicking asses in no time. |
| I was expecting the match between Tama and Rin to be like a boxing match were the two fighters would exchange blow for blow. But this one wasn't too shabby. Its like a wake-up call for Tama that there's still practitioners out there that are in a different league. |
    |
| We've all seen it coming, Tama losing that is. Too bad her feeling of "I never wanted to know what it feels like to lose" came true... Poor Tama-chan D: Rin is NOT hateable/despiseable, she's just clearly stronger than Tama at that moment. Rin isn't like some bitch that played dirty trick to Tama last tournament. Ganbatte, Tama~ but it does seem this ep was kinda rushed.... Oh btw, I sooo would like to own a set of those little plushie mascots :3 |
  |
| I think because of the two delinquents the Coach will be seen as having no control over the members of his club, and this will lead to a move to dissolve the club and hasten his firing. Especially now that the girls are out of the tournament. |
| time to know what losing is for Tama, time become more mature, if she can handle it, next step will be better. |
| lol Braver will actually lose to Shinaidar... great episodes though... Maybe Braver will get some power-ups somewhere and kick her ass... |
 |
| So sad that Tama lost, but i guess she have to loose to become even better. .. |
| headphones are sexy~~<3 |
| Poor Tama... but Braver have friends! Go! |
| Miya Miya has strength and bloodthirst, but she lacks technique and focus. She basically charges blindly, which means she pushes the opponnent around a lot, but can only score illegal hits. |
|
| it was good that she lost. i agree that she should loose someone same age as her so there'll be no excuses. that fight was kinda short and i didn't see much action in there, if you look at it, there's more action in tama VS azuma fight ^^ probably after this, the team would be low in morale and would lack self-confidence. and then cap'n kirino comes to the rescue and as the heart of the team.. would comfort them and bring the team up again. lol.. just a guess ^^  |
| |
| I felt this episode was rushed. Tama lost for the first time, poor Tama. I liked Rin than Tama. Unlike white hair with practitioner who had a dirty trick to Tama, Rin's not hateable, evil practitioner. I suppose she have more experience than Tama have since she used jodan stance, and she dodged her tsuki. I guess Rin was disappointed about her match against Tama. Tama will be back in no time, but the preview looks not cheerful to me. I hope Miya Miya wins against Carrie but she lost, sadly. |

| This episode was somewhat rushed, no real fight between Tama and Rin. Tama would probably have felt better if she had lost to someone older (Kenzaburo). Anyway, by what she said to him (Kenzaburo), it seems she hates losing to anyone. But as everyone said, she needed to lose, well not needed, but it was coming. It would have been nonsensical if she kept winning and now, she will learn from this loss. I am not sure whether she was robbed though since she pressured herself to get that one point. Maybe she also had this mental make-up that Braver never loses to Shinaida. Rin isn't bad, she simply was more focused that Tama at that moment. And also, I don't think she (Tama) should have placed Rin in the same category as that of Konishi (the girl whose fans locked Tama in a store in episode 17) and Toyama (the delinquent who was shown in the arcade). After all, isn't she (Tama) friends wiith Rin? Anyway,Tamaki just has to stand up and fight. |
| Have to agree with everyone else, this episode was very rushed, and its kind of sad that that match depending on tama winning in the first place, the opposing team members never even got introduced, how could they win 2 matches?? Anyways, they seriously need to let miya win a match soon, her morale is going down the crapper and it seems like dan's pick me ups arent working as well anymore. Also wondering where they're going with the two dropouts, thought it was kind of funny that yuuji and dan were intimidated by them, cause even if dan's not at their level yet, yuuji should have already been more than a match for them. I don't think they're out of the tournament yet, i think i remember hearing sayako and kirino talking in the background when it was focusing on tama that they just needed a certain number of overall wins to move on, or something like that. Besides, what would they do now if they were completely out of the tourny? The only real thing i could think to have a good end would be all the team members begging the superintendant not to fire him or something, and i kind of doubt thats how this would end. Tama needs to undergo some special training against people who can use the ascension stance for sure. Come to think of it, why didnt he ever think about asking her about that after watching her reaction from fighting Kenzaboro? Oh well, bring on the next episode! T_T One episode closer to the end ;-; |
| I think they are officially out of the Team Matches and their only chance are the Individual matches (that leaves the door opens for the guys to come out of nowhere and win, since they only compete in Individual bouts). |

 You've come a long way, baby. |
| Seconding Kimurin's demand. |
| It was obvious that Tama was gonna lose due to what Kenzaburou said to her back a few epis earlier. So I'm not surprised. |
| Well, this loss was to be expected so I wasn't surprised at all. I'm really feeling bad for Miya Miya though. Are they going to go the whole series without her winning anything? Greggo said: I think because of the two delinquents the Coach will be seen as having no control over the members of his club, and this will lead to a move to dissolve the club and hasten his firing. Especially now that the girls are out of the tournament. That's exactly what I was thinking. Why else would they bring back two characters that haven't been around for 20 episodes? |
 ...even a saint needs a soldier to do the dirty work. |
| Really good episode! Probably my favourite yet. I wasn't surprised that Tama lost, but I was surprised that her team lost. Wonder what'll happen now. |
| *cry* Tama lost T~T Sad... but I think we all guessed it by now... still Tama-chaaaaan T_T |
     Sig WILL change soon~ |
| So Tama lost, its good for her though. Tama has experienced the biggest character development that I have seen all in anime. We'll see what she learns from this. |
| Poor Tama lost this match, but it will be good for her to learn what it feels like for the future. |
| I'm getting really sick of them losing all the time. i understand that it's a learning experience, but I think it's just silly how Rin abides by the dumb Blade Bravers psychology, dumb foreshadowing. |

| I have a bad feeling about the deliquent pair. Sounds fishy.... |
| The Cut-outs/key chain was so cute tama chan's losing wasnt that bad.. i expect that to happen coz we know she always win matches and thats too imba |
Live well - Laugh often - and Love much |
Faust721 said: It was Twist to see her lose like that but now that she lost how is Tama going to recover....I expected Tama to lose due to all the foreshadowing but man I did not think it would happen that badly D: |
 |
| So sad that Tama lost, just doesn't feel right. Wish they spent more time showing her fight though was expecting a long one not two simple head strikes. She really needs to work on that Ascension stance thing, wonder what happened to her mother though. |
