Damn, there's so much competition between the characters in the show.

Not just sumo but in general, the characters are so motivated to prove themselves. Waching Hinomaru compete again showed how determined is in his match. Too bad I wanted to see Chihiro compete more and Hinomaru still has a lot of room to improve himself. Kirihito's triple move was dope.

That was tons of fun. Tsuji really kicked some ass as a coach. Hell, he even put Hinomaru down and topped his special move. Too bad his stamina is awful.

damn, this show is a pleasant discovery this season. i thought this will be very generic shonen-like, but it has a quite a unique feeling to it. the problems that Tsuji revealed were spot on, really like it so far

It was a very good episode. I really liked it.

The way Kei beat them all was both nice and realistic. I expect great things from him, to be honest.

And the reason why Tsuji became their coach was interesting as well. Too bad he has a terrible physical condition although I think he'll end up taking part in the tournament for some reason. I can't really tell tho.

Much better episode than the last one I felt like. It went back a little to the style of the first two episodes, which I also enjoyed. I don't know, I guess episode 3 just felt out of place a bit, I think they should now focus on developing our main team characters. Hopefully it won't disappoint again.

Man awesome episode.
AND I LOVE THE ENDING
SO AMAZING AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

I think I'll go ahead and read the manga, it's plenty interesting and I don't want the anime to rush through this great story, but I'll watch after I go ahead of the current material.

Chihiro is still best boi and the cutest one tho <3

Great episode again.

It was super cool to see Chihiro winning against the other members and Tsuji vs Hinomari was super awesome. I loved how Tsuji earned his recognition amongst the team. Real shame that he can't compete cause of health reasons which is what I kinda expected given his character so far.

Still feel the animation during the sumo matches could be improved, it's still very largely still frames but I'm assuming this show didn't really get enough budget or something.

Liked the final scene with Kuze and his Dad.

Looking forward to next week.

Tsuji can do good sumo. It's too bad about his lung condition. With training, the 5 can hopefully get to the top.

Looks like Kuze got the okay to get back in the ring. This will prove interesting.

Poor Kirihito man, I really feel for him.

But I have high hopes that he'll take them to the top especially Ushio. I loved when Ushio said "make the best sumo team", and not only refer to himself.

This is the series I take a bit serious.

But how can Tsuji be so fit if he can only last 20 seconds...

Another great episode. The training on the boat was probably influenced by Hajime no Ippo or at least it reminded me at it. Tsujis handicap also reminds me at Misugi from Tsubasa, so there might will come the time when he's going to enter the ring.

He's a strong and cool dude, would be really a waste.

I can already see how Tsuji will help them when they're in a pinch (with a time limit of 20 seconds).
This serie is so badass holy shit. Sumo is so intense nice!

Agreed

Really liking Tsuji and Chihiro even more now and I thought that it was cool that Hinomaru got the inspiration for his sumo style from the prodigy guy's dad

Great episode. The boat training also reminded me a lot of Hajime no Ippo. The characters are becoming more likeable.

I was enjoying the anime up until Tsuji first appeared. Now I'm considering dropping the series.

There's something about his personality that I hate. It's absolutely cringy when he adjusts his glasses and how the light is constantly reflecting, hiding his eyes. But this is probably because I just hate characters and people with that attitude in general.

Loving everything about this show. I really like the characters and how it is developing all of them, not just the MC. I love the OP/EDs and love Tsuji being a tactical genius, he's super cool and his health issue was quite gutting! Cannot wait for the tournaments

Tsuji is pretty impressive, too bad he has weak lungs

Glad that he regrets something he said in the past and wants to help his old friend, being a coach definitely fits him
