Ouch that head injury...
It's definitely going to affect the diving competition for Tomoki although I think he'll be okay in the long run.

With one more episode, the guys pretty much established themselves of their current skill set as divers. To me, I guess this show is more about character dynamics rather than the storytelling of competition.

Sakurai-san's character wants to meet the head of diving association?

American person talking to the female coach and that friend of main guy's guessing something because he has English tutor.

Main guy getting hurt? Everyone visiting, but Nakamura-san's character led main guy and Sakurai-san's character alone when Sakurai-san's character came.

Main guy was shocked because he thinks that the whole diving stuff is mainly set up by the adults , so got bored and wanted to do more challenge.

Sakurai-san's character realized that main guy's serious and back to sense of his goal of being in the Olympics to think everyone's rival.

Main guy met female coach and she said he needs to fight alone.

Sakurai-san's character wants to represent fairly.

Everyone else succeed in getting to the point that the head wanted.

Three of them challenging each other for the space to Olympics. That means they are fair rivals?

Yoichi bond to Tomoki is so strong. I wouldn't even give away my opening ceremony ticket to my family, let alone the olympic spot at competing. Any doubt that Tomoki and Yoichi are not canon? Even Okitsu know that they want to have 'private time' at Tomoki house. Not counting that in ancient greece, orchids represents fertility, virility, and sexuality, but seriously that's big effing flowers they carried around

Tomo's head injury.

Youichi gave up his Olympic position so he can get the spot in a fair way. He also created a competition with the others. Hopefully we get to see a tough match.

Tomo's accident felt so sudden, I couldn't even care. The China meet was over in a blink of an eye as well. But it can't be helped. There is only one episode left and things need to wrap up. Seriously, this anime would have needed more eps so it wouldn't feel that rushed.

I liked how Yoichi finally stood up for himself and the chairmen gave him a chance to enter the olympics fair and square if he wins in the trial in december. Tomo also chose his own path, he tried to perfect the four and a half instead of playing it save at he china meet. It was more important to him to reach his own goal and to be independet.

With the trial in sight, Tomo and Okitsu also have a chance, though I thought Okitsu couldn't enter the olympics because of his back...?

That was quite the fall Tomo had.

Youichi gave up his spot for the Olympics, it ,might not be appreciated by the others but he shows real sportsmanship.

1 episode left.

Am I the only one who thinks that Tomo like the Coach, and does not want her to go back to America (reason for his injury as well) ? Actually I totally ship them.

Goddamnit, Tomo. Better be careful, maan. Poor baby.

This is a pretty weak episode for me and the fact that after this one will be the final episode. I still loved it, though.

The trio will fight each other, and I understand Youchi really. He didn't fight to get the spot in the Olympics; it was given to him, and that's not okay. Good thinking, Youchi.

Who's Teramoto again? I don't think we've met that guy before. I'm right, right? Hahaha.

I wonder what the Coach is talking about to the foreigner. She better not leave MDC, maan.

They started to rush due to this series being only 11 episodes long... oh well, my expectations were always moderate for this series, so as long as they don't make the ending into one big jumble, it's ok I guess.

They are really fuzzing over the olympics! and look what happened...Tomoki over-exerts himself and had a bad dive fall! good thing he's alright.
Everyone is so pumped-up on who is going to the Olympigs! and Tomoki might complete the 4 and a half dive!!
4/5.

So they have 3 slots available for the Olympics. They choose to only use 1 or 2 though. That makes no sense to me. The best doesn't always win. Shit happens.

I noticed this too. I think this show could benefit from an extra episode so I hope we get one. Or maybe it's just an OVA type thing they're tacking on the end.

I agree, that accident was so fast (usually anime series show accidents in slow motion but not this one lol)

Yoichi was really stupid this episode. He brought flowers to Tomoki and then he changed his mind
and took them away. We know he is careless, but he is also smart. This kind of stupidity makes me think that Yoichi is not the same character he was.

The accident was quite random tbh, I also don't get why they have to skip over competitions that fast...

Man, this keeps getting worse. I don’t really care for this show and am just trying to get through it due to the completionist in me. However, I have to credit the series for bringing some emotion out of me, as I haven’t hated a female character, Reona, as much as I do since Rachel from Tower of God.
