Load of action this episode.

While the sumo wrestling still felt a lot of the same, it did show the stress and endurance characters have to go through to build their abilities. Hinomaru keep his head up after getting knocked down and that earned my respect for sure.

I'd say that Saki amde quite an impression this epsiode. (even with her accent)

I thought he would at least get a hold on the belt but bam on the ground difference in experience was shown here in this episode

Saki looks cute

Hinomaru has still ways to go, but exactly this makes it so exciting.

And I didn't expect that Saki would turn out to be the sister of the national champ.

That was awesome. Loads of fun and lots of sumo action with Hinomaru in this episode.

I'm getting more and more excited for the eventual tournament. Lots of big names are being revealed.

I liked this episode. The feeling of fellowship was really nice to see.

And without a doubt, it was a great experience for Ushio to practice with them. His fighting spirit and motivation to not surrender against a bigger opponet is something great to see as well. It only makes him a better MC, being honest.

Looking forward to the next episode.

I can always get my regular dose of testosterone watching this every week. I'm shamefully a sucker for underdogs like Ushio. I see myself in him the same way that the retired dude who couldn't achieve his dream of yokozuna does. Ushio is probably the most badass underdog character I've ever seen.

Great episode.

That first sequence where Hinomaru just charges and pushes the other sumo wrestler out was extremely well done.

Was really cool to watch Hinomaru train and even get the pro wrestlers excited.

So Sosuke is already at max pro level? Damn. There's a long road ahead Hinomaru.

Hinomaru got a taste of what he really wanted at that stable. He loves intensity, and will continue to improve as long as he continues to push himself.

Ushio really held his own against the sekitori in the last round, but I still think he needs more to defeat opponents like him.

Even the manager's brother is the mix, Ushio sure has a lot to overcome but I'm rooting for him like the sensei.

Damn this anime is so spicy you can really feel the action sequences thanks to the sound effects and directing. The female characters are so well designed top tier waifu and porn source. This is my favorite of the season.

That was fun to watch. Hinomaru got his ass handed to him and yet it didn't bother him at all.

Training with the pros, Ushio did pretty well with the sekitori, but still quite a difference in level
