Even this show has an accidentally walk in on girl scene lol...

This episode had the most fan service in the show, honestly. Looks some characters are also cheating using devices to manipulate ball movement. Yikes. Honestly, I'm not surprised to see cheaters at this point in the show. The team in this episode plays dirty game rather than some clean Tribe Nine-style baseball.

The girl is hotter when she keeps her clothes on tbh.

New villain? Character design on point again. A shame it's the shows only good point.

Some fanservice episode for a change of pace mid-season. Next episode back to people being beaten almost to death.

Taiga wants real training, though Hanafuda of the Chiyoda Tribe will not make things easy for him.

Haru's beam bat given from Shun Kamiya was close to being stolen, and he should be thankful for Kazuki for bringing it back to him. Definitely wasn't thinking of Haru walking on Saori having her bath and making that a total fanservice moment. But Kazuki has always been a mysterious character, what is truly his end goal?

The crazy rich Setagaya Tribe led by Eiji Todoroki sponsoring a battling contest for any Tribe to win easy money, 10 mil, a palace of women and some behind-the-scenes trickery is nothing to them. Good to see the Adachi Tribe, but they're far from recovered from the last time that Ojiro really beat them close to death. And call Kazuki's warning for Haru to keep the bat close to him, because they were behind the thievery.

As expected, there's another villain group called...to take down Kazuki, and enemies are everywhere.

Money can buy anything, not trust.

kazuki is walking a grey zone, I mean he has proved himself as trustworthy but there is the scene teasing that he may be bad. I knew he wasn't the one stealing the bat but when the explosion happened I thought immediately of him, seems the characters too lol.

Gonna bet that Kazuki isn't actually bad, but anyways there's Ultimate Impostor 2.0 and lots of fanservice, slso Eiji Todoroki which made me laugh out loud. 2/5

Seems like Taiga will train his wind power to the next level with those 100000 swing per day. Can't wait to see him batting on the real match again.

Kek even Tribe Nine couldn't resist the power of fanservices. But wait, i think no, its actually intended. Look at all that bikini parade, nice theme and change of pace for one episode! Arisugawa won't play, but she already had her play.

Red herring moment for Kazuki. Its clear that the intentions lead to it, and Haru might be overthinking about him saying 'simple'. I mean, yes, making Taiga went out training and making him stronger sounds like a simple order xd. But still i don't really trust his character and hopefully there's some more of his background to avoid a shallow characterization.

Back to xb deadly battle again next week, seems like. So lets see...

I liked all the (let's say minor?) twists in this episode.
Minato vs. Ota will be an interesting match.

A nice fanservice filled episode, first with the Arisugawa shower scene, and then the remainder of the episode with swimsuit babes lol, Arisugawa’s wording. It was an overall fun one, I’m glad to see Senju didn’t die, and the rigged competition was goofy, poor Adachi guys unable to resist temptation lol, but damn while Todoroki was an asshole, didn’t really want him to explode over it, but looks like he did at the hands of a new villainous tribe, excited to see where this goes from here with Chiyoda involved as well.

While Taiga continues to train, Setagaya Tribe's Eiji Todoroki tries to obtain Haru's Beam Bat by sending him emails and having someone steal it. Todoroki then puts together a tournament to ensure that Minato tribe will win and take the prize money in exchange for the bat, Haru refused. We then get to meet the Ota tribe who was responsible for taking out Todoroki and now they are tasked with targeting Kazuki.

A nice fan service episode.

I don't even know what the hell I'm watching anymore after episode 3. It's something completely different each week. If I wasn't already in so deep, I'd drop.

Glad Adachi tribe wasn't dead after all, you can never know when characters actually die or not with the extreme amount of injuries. Although being gag characters is probably a worse fate.

Oh, so the Adachi Tribe is alive?



Lots of fanservice this episode, but at least the animation in some of the post-shower scene cuts was pretty good.
