Wow. That episode was as boring as Komori's character.

At least the baseball logic didn't make me rage like the minor league games do.

An episode concerning on Komori and Mifune Dolphins. Somehow I have a feeling that Komori will end up here again after the old coach retire. Maybe not.
It was a nice episode, but I want Goro now~

As Oobayashi would say...

It seems that Komori is aiming for the pros too, good luck man.

Love this episode.

I also adore Komori. Every time he cries, I cry. Really nice seeing Mifune East team again!

Nice to see Komori and the Little League again. Really brought back memories and reminds me how far the characters have come. But I really want to go back to Goro, Major in America is just so refreshing.

Was definitely better than I expected, though to be honest my expectations were really low. Unlike seemingly everyone else, I'm not that excited about the plot switching its focus back to Goro anymore - I couldn't care less about anyone in the Bats besides him and nearly all the Minors games so far have been dull to a fault.

Darn, so the Dolphins lost pretty brutally. Kind of cool seeing the flash backs, made no secret about this, but season one was definitely my favorite season.

pretty good episode. however, it would have been 100000x better if Sawamura became the coach instead of komori.
i miss that guy ;'(

I surprisingly really loved this episode. I expected it to be boring, but it made me somehow almost nostalgic, which is ironic since I'm marathoning that serie, so it hasn't been that long since I saw the first season. But seeing a mini Goro with longer hair within the Dolphins. They got washed away, but they still were able to not give up baseball nonetheless.

Yep, as much as I am enjoying Goro's storyline in states this one was really good. Also the author really is pushing the baseball to the audience. He is showing that even if someone isn't going pro, if someone is not good enough to become pro, there are still many things to do with baseball, and one can still enjoy it.

This is one of the reasons why this story is good by the way, as unlike most stories, it shows the whole life and not only a short period like high school team aiming for koishien.

That young boy looked so much like Goro, minus the cockiness.

Glasses coach needs to pick up his game too..

Glad I got to see Oobayashi though!

That was pretty great. I teared up a bit seeing those flashbacks. It's so cool seeing how they've definitely left their mark in the team and how much they've grown..:')

I ended up liking this episode quite a bit. It felt kinda nostalgic. Komori is a pretty great side character too. It would be pretty cool if he ended up taking over as coach once Andou retires.

Although I've more or less liked every season so far, season one is still my favorite.

I wonder if Sawamura ever made it big in soccer. He's the only one in the core gang we haven't seen for ages.

Anyway, back to Gorou I guess.

I really appreciate that this episode focussed on Komori. The way he encouraged these kids was so touching.

Komori one of the best characters in the show, hopefully he’ll be able to get into pros after he graduates.

I am not a Toshiya's hater, but this time Komori's story is far better than previous Toshiya's story.
Yes, other posts make me remember Sawamura too. I hope they will show us a little what he is doing now. A little reunion will be nice.

don't get me wrong, i really love komori, but this side-story is exactly as toshi story, though to be more interesting (there's more characters after all) it's the same idea, komor/toshi are the newcomer in their team, and each have their own status/need to prove and getting down and ending in succeeded to break through their obstacles, though i'm glad they rushed it this time and didn't stall entire 2 episodes.
anyway, it was fun to see the little league games, and that shinji is so goro design with changes...

I needed a Komori episode and I didn't even knew it. Great stuff. I liked it better than the Toshi one, but at the same time it seems more like a closure chapter for him, unlike Toshi's.

I liked Komori's sidestory more than that of Toshi. Touching to see Komori prove himself at his university club to those douchebag senpais and also caused those Little League players to play their hearts out and make them not regret the match even with the loss.

I don't know why people don't want these chapters. It's good to give more story and development to secondary characters. It uses to give more depth to the show.
