| Nice match between Nagisa and Nozomi, good to see their background as well. I hope Ayano will wake up soon (within semi-final or some how) if not this series will not named Hanebado any more. |
Glasses girls is the best girls. |
| This was probably the first really good episode in this series, to me... It was really, really good. 👍🏻 The one major detractor being Ayano... She’s really beginning to piss me off. |

| Nozomi's coach was very annoying. Wait, we're near the final match? About Ayano's attitude...I saw that coming. Fuck you Connie. My main issue with this show is still there. 2/5 |

awrup said: RobertBobert said: Ayano becomes so much like Bakugo that it seems to me that later episodes will turn her into an opponent for Nagisa as MC. And do I understand correctly that Nozomi's coach wanted Nagisa to get a knee injury? Is it legal at all !? In sports as long as you don't break the rules, you aim and exploit your opponent's weaknesses, either mental, physical or technical. Nagisa's knee problem happens because she always overextends her play aka her own fault. Nozomi's coach just planned his strategy based on that. I understand this, but at the same time it's hard for me to imagine that an adult coach is considering a possible trauma of a teenage girl as a good chance. @sirwence How well the studio did it is another matter. |

I heard that connie lost to Ayano in the manga though. |
| Another awesome episode and Nagisa is best girl now |
| BRAWLERS |
| Ayano are being too much cold, i dont like her like that, this episode she was bad in my opinion! Nagisa well played, hope Nagisa change Ayano in next match! Ayano only need be this cold playing against his "Sister". |
 |
| Ayano's transformation into a cold, condescending douche has been so jarring and sudden that it's hard to take seriously, but it was pretty entertaining this episode. I think they need to sort out her mommy issues. Nagisa v. Nozomi was great though. This show still looks very pretty. |
| Can anyone tell me why didn't the coach chose Nagisa during the middle school?Was it because of her legs? |
 |
| While I liked the story for this match, I would've preferred it to have at the very least two episodes, for this whole development. Otherwise it would feel too rushed and less believeable and it did. Still a solid episode and definitely fun to watch, but just not as striking and satisfying due to the lack of build up. Btw, Nozomi is such a cutie 😶 |

| Sieg Zeon! |
 Welp she lost to her former middle school friend nagisa and it's in her face!  Well, Ayano is now a bitch, all thanks to Connie and Ayano's mom, who drive her to the edge. Something tells me that she'll get owned and eventually becomes this sweet and shy Ayano again. |
| Great episode, I really hope that Aragaki somehow beats Ayano. |
 |
| Always love to see some Nagisa in action, just hope she doesn't blow out her knee against Ayano. |
  |
| Lots of people talking about how much they hate Ayano right now, but honestly it's not her fault. She's just regressed back to her old personality because of what Connie and Kaoruko said to her. And probably because of her mother as well. I don't think that Ayano thinks about what she's saying, she's just dead on the inside. Since her mother has essentially abandoned her, there really isn't really a reason for her to keep on winning. I think that the reason why she wants to win so badly is because she simply just wants to be acknowledged by anyone. It makes me just feel bad for her. |
| Damn, Ayano was really bad in this episode :/ On the other hand, congrats to Nagisa, she played really well, glad that she won. I was very surprised that Nozomi's coach wasn't a total douchebag and he realized that he was wrong, respect. I think that Nozomi's coach was talking about not letting Nagisa play when her knee will be at her limit and she won't listen to everyone, because it's better to make her lose a match than to lose a knee, so that Nagisa's coach will be hated by her but he will know that he did the right thing. Please Ayano...come back to normal. |

Vivekananda said: Can anyone tell me why didn't the coach chose Nagisa during the middle school?Was it because of her legs? Nagisa is the type who doesn't listen and just play her own way, Nozomi however obediently listened to the coach probably of desperation coz Nagisa is better than her she forgot to play her own way in the end it doesn't matter coz Nagisa is still better than her |
imSOunique said: Yeah, probably, I don't really remember. That makes manga Ayano even more OP. I hope the anime follows that coz Connie deserves a beating and classic humiliation And if that happens I can already see what's gonna happen, she beats Connie in front of her mom, then asks her mom a match but her mom is gonne be like "I told you I'm gonna let you play me anytime once you've gone stronger right?" I think she'll say that Ayano have gone weaker and refuse the match. If that doesn't happen, I'm gonna be forced to read the manga, this is actually quite a predictable show |

| Whew! After Ayano talked to Connie, she became this douchie little girl when she opens her mouth. Aragaki might not be my favorite character in this anime but she's a great character. Glad that this episode has more of her coz she's just inspiring to watch. The match was intense and well-animated as usual. Aragaki's smashes felt a lot of impact, which is good since that should a smash be. Next will be the finals! Aragaki vs Ayano I want Aragaki to win to knock Ayano's senses back (well, I kinda sure that will be case coz there's NO WAY they'll keep up with this current Ayano). Ayano's mother has been absent for 2 episodes now after that last scene appearance in Episode 6. :v Great episode as usual and looking forward to the next episode! :) |
 |
| May I present: Ayano, the living yo-yo effect. Nice Girl - psycho - nice girl - psycho - and probably back to nice girl by the last episode. …. is it too late to make Nagisa the only MC? |
| Ayano is getting on my nerves |
 |
| Ayano, girl you need to see a therapist (a psycologist -or maybe a psychiatrist?-) because that kind of "double personality" of yours worries me a lot... And also, for once I have an episode focuced on Nagisa only but no... they had to add a coach who acts like a soccer (fùtbol) fan. I didn't even know that a coach could be that noisy in Badminton I mean, that must be really annoying and distracting for the other players in the whole gymnasium. |
| Well, this was some flop if you ask me. Ayanon is becoming more and more unlikable as a character. Just the way she speaks and her unsportsmanlike behaviour is abysmal really. I hope things will be cleared next episode though and we get to see the old Ayanon back. Intense matchup though, in this episode. Nozomi’s Character really took the spotlight of the show here. But I didn’t get the whole deal with the Coach later on, it’s just so unrealistic and cheesy. Here’s hoping the show manages to regain itself from the next episode and onwards. It’ll be interesting to see the final match too. |

| Majority of the show has so bad aura of everyone! Good thing this episode was a good game and confrontation of Aragaki and Ishizawa! Damn annoying noisy coach! 4/5. |
 |
| Ayano continues to be as ruthless as ever. Nice to have Ishizawa smiling towards the end. |
 |
| Nozomi hottest girl in Hanebado. Sad that Ayano is more edgy than badass now after winning against Kaoruku who made her like that. I hope she doesn't go back to normal Fubuki mode but rather be a mix of being savage yet kind. |
 |
| I'm very happy Aragaki managed to pull out the win, but I don't know if she can go much deeper with her injury and shit |

PureAgiMaxReborn said: I hope the anime follows that coz Connie deserves a beating and classic humiliation Can't follow something that doesn't exist. Why exactly she deserves a beating and humiliation? It's not her fault that mummy left Ayano. Are you even watching the show? Connie's so arrogant to the point of bullying, and she's so insecure with Ayano, you know Ayano? the one who got left by her mom, but you're saying it's not Connie's fault? Yeah it's not, it's the mom's fault but that still doesn't justify her actions towards Ayano who is of no fault either |
| What the fuck happened to Ayano's personality Christ. Why she suddenly acting like a psycho bitch. |
 |
| Nozomi has such an appealing character design. Especially with those lips. |
TheOrdinaryMaiky said: Why in the hell author thought making ayano so edgy was a good idea Lets say thats what the author think is good? I say its somehow good to have an arrogant and confident MC, but Ayano really is a step too far. A bit too far I'd stress again. Anyway... Aragaki becoming my favourite girl for the show, those muscles she show really is something... I don't even had something like that, and that demonic backhand... No way I would come close. Her character is just what I liked too. This show is shaping out very nicely overall. I always liked sports anime if it is like this, giving some excitement I last got in Prince of Stride. |
| Life isn't as fun and easy as anime. Watch anime to bring that fun!! |
| It's rare that there's more characters in a show I dislike than I like, but this show seems to be really good at making me do that. Honestly, the only characters I like anymore are Nozomi, Riko and (most of the time) Nagisa, everyone else is annoying or hasn't made an impression on me. Really disliking Ayano in particular these past few episodes, but then again I'm not really a fan of her mother either, so like mother like daughter I guess. I really liked the match between Nozomi and Nagisa, I'm glad Nozomi was able to play how she wanted to in the end. It's a shame she lost but at least she won my heart (>_^)b |

| Glad to see that Nozomi finally started playing her game (and even the coach understood later that that was a good thing despite the loss). Man, that OST has some cheesy guitar lines in it. |
| I wish Nozomi could just yell to the coach "shut the fuck up you annoying fuck" I think this is the best badminton match I've seen in this anime. Them arm and leg muscles on Aragaki though. Nozomi blushing was cute as well. Also I prefer Ayano this way. Let her be psycho all she wants, it makes her more entertaining to watch instead of that generic personality she had in the beginning. |
| So coincidentally, Nagisa and Nozomi knew and played against each other back then... Wait...coaches are allowed to coach during a match? This is badminton right? Not boxing? Aaaand Ayano is becoming like the very people who looked down on her in the past. Bitch slap when? Ayano does have a point though. Elena dragged her into playing badminton, so she's playing badminton. Got a problem with that? Woohoo! I think this the first anime that I've seen these pair of words used really often! Eww...can hands bleed from playing too much badminton? That's serious... Did Nozomi just get her coach's sympathy? Uhh...no... Based Ayano. As expected, Nagisa wins. Finals are up next. Ayano vs. Nagisa? Well if that does occur, then one of two things will happen: 1. Ayano steamrolls through Nagisa with no fucks given. 2. Nagisa uses the power of friendship to get Ayano to play an honest game. Either way, Ayano's going to win... |

Yeah it's not, it's the mom's fault but that still doesn't justify her actions towards Ayano who is of no fault either Connie was rude. She deserves humiliation and punishment. Do you know her backstory? Ayano behaves like super bitch. It's ok. No punishment necessary. No humiliation needed. Mummy abandoned her so she can treat people like trash. Ayano ,you know Aayano? The one with green eyes and brown hair. They're both victims here, but Ayano's actions were justified. She's in a traumatic state right now. Meanwhile Connie, lol what do you mean "was"? Jfc can you get anymore biased? She's still rude nothing changed. Unless the bitch gets a beatdown and humiliation, she deserves it |
