Forgot to make a thread of the episode.

Seems like this OVA is only about the match between the Hornets and the Raiders... I don't know how to feel about it yet.

And Goro's injury segment felt a little rushed.

FUCK! They sure know how to open the episode.
I totally shed a tear from my right eye when Honda was hit and then the picture of his dad showed up.

We all know who wins, but I was constantly on the edge of my seat.
I love Major so much.

Seriously. Why does Goro always have to get injured? :/ It was obvious he would end up pitching in this game, but that didn't make it boring at least. It's still fun~

It was so awsome to see Mayumura again, I was sooooo glad to see him. Also Goro and Toshi playing together again was really nostalgic.
But sadly one more episode and it'll be over :( Just thinking about it makes me all teary T_T

Whoa. Mayumura and Shizuka was a surprise. Mayumura and Toshi finally in Major. I love to see Watts and Gibson Sr still in baseball circle as coaches. Still great to see Keene though he transferred to Raiders now.

Whoa wait, Mayamura and Shisuka?! Never saw that one coming at all. Goro taking a liner to the head, that is full circle, but geez no baseball player gets this much bad luck in his whole life.

Go get them Goro.

The first scene when Junior's ball hit Goro's head...I WTF'd so hard. I accidentally thought that it was the final game but thankfully, it wasn't.

This. I had to replay that scene to hear it again.

Onto the next one!!

It's great to get a closer look at the World Series and how the pieces are being put together to lead up to that last scene in S6. Shizuka x Mayumura blew my mind. Although it looks like no one has aged, it's still cool to see where everyone has gone 8 years. Onward to the finale, glad I get to see Goro tear it up one more time.

So Mayumura married Shizuka? isnt she too old for Mayumura? the mangaka really likes shipping his characters.

Kaoru is pregnant already and it seems they are currently living in America.

No, the fear hear is that it is a head injury, if he were to sustain another head injury, even a much lighter blow to the head, or even just just his head to hard, he could slip into a coma. That is typically how concussions work. Their fear is actually very founded as compared to a shoulder injury, his current condition could prove fatal.

That development left me dumbfounded, I won't ask any questions about it. :/ It looks like Gorou will turn the tables in the next episode.

Scary start.

They scared me a lot when the ball hit his head and he was in a coma.
This episode was dramatic, Mayumura was pitching on the anniversary of his mother death.
He's married with Shizuka?
He must like them older.

too bad i have only SD quality, but that's what i got in the batch.

anyway, the moment the OVA started i understood they wanted to animate only the last scenes in the final episode of the world series, though i would love a season of this, it seems they wanted only the highlight and the important match to adapt rather than make a whole repetitive season, it kinda remind me hajime no ippo treatment, which is good.

the problem wasn't the game itself which went exactly as any other final-game in the major series but the before-the-game scenes, it rushed too much, we see that goro got hit by junior, but though we know it's serious, the size of the injury wasn't explained well why goro got released so soon and why he can't play yet.

otherwise than that they made big and huge hints to make the backgrounds more clear, shimizu is pregnant, mayaruma married shizuka and other hints. it was actually really weird to see keane in the raiders team after so much time on the hornets. and though toshi is in the hornets it doesn't feel like the S2 moments, mostly because he and goro weren't together at all. gibson being a coach is actually great development for him, i'm glad he moved on, or rather say, he's freaking 50 years old, it was about time. watts being the coach also made it well.

though goro's act to make the raiders intense were smart, it was obvious, that's our goro after all.

After the timeskip end of s6, I didn't expect this to suddenly start in the middle of a match nor Goro's shocking headbanging collision. Still cool to see what happened to some people 8 years later especially Mayumura ending up together with the Kaido coach Shizuka was surprising.
