I'm glad Minami stopped the stupid bet. As if her feelings in it didn't matter!

Well, I take back what I said about Tatsuya earlier, it turns out he's a pretty considerate guy, not only to his brother but to most characters in the show.

Yeah, it's safe to say already that by the end of the series Tatsuya is going to find himself on my favorite characters list. Touch in general stands a good chance as well.

My stance is almost the complete opposite of yours. Yes - it's great that Tatsuya's thinking of his brother - but Minami has made her feelings perfectly clear to him, and Kazuya has told him he'll go for Minami; even if it means going over his brother.

He's acting like a coward. It's understandable why but he should put Minami's feelings first. If he loves her, then showing that should come above always letting his little bro win.

It's infuriating watching because you just know Tatsuya's never going to find the balls to make a move... or at least not until episode 101, anyway.

The glove thing was cute, but losing the card game was unnecessary
Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone

Tatsuya was good this episode, and Kazuya was a bit of a dick.

Tacchan was really kind in this episode....he truly cares about his little bro. The bet on the poker game was dumb, Kacchan what the hell did you think lmao ? Of course Minami would be mad, that's understandable :o

Yeah it was obvious he was letting his brother win in the cards match, is just like the cake thing, he is over the top considerate, self sacrificing and kind to the rest, but way too much that end being something bad, in the end Minami stopped the bet, but when she asked Tatsuya if he would let his brother win if they bet her, he only saw the other way, doubting. Also Tatsuya buying a glove for his brother because it was rusty with all the money he won in a month is something really appreciative, is just like what he did with the umbrella episode, when Minami was wet in the side, he just moved the umbrella so she didn't get wet, he is kind.

Tacchan, being the fool he always is, wasn't able to give Kacchan the glove he bought for him. I understand that this time he lost the timing and all, but his good intention, and sincere feeling would still be welcomed as it was proved by Kacchan when he chose to use his glove in the end. It seems he just likes to be the left out victim since he can't even bring himself to win a stupid card game.

But his stupid choice of forfeiting the card game, was only a sore excuse for Kacchan to be really obnoxious for the first time; treating Minami as an object, possibly to try and make Tacchan react or something, but there's no excuse for such a silly bet. And Tacchan couldn't even answer Minami's question either.

Well, Koushien is getting nearer.

Tatsuya is "too nice" for his own good, he should value himself more.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

Well Tatsuya as can be seen from Kazuya at the poker and Harada telling you countless times, it's time to drop the 'considerate big bro'

Tacchan gifting his little brother something was heartwarming. It was also priceless that Kacchan decided to go with his aniki's glove.
But this episode also made it clear that Kazuya is more insensitive than Tatsuya, he just has less opportunities to reveal it. One more reason to go for Tacchan instead of Kacchan.

Gotta say I really love the slow pacing of the series so far. It’s not so slow that it drags and it’s not super fast either. Every episode felt important so far.

Lol, this is getting weirder, big brother slapped the gal and now they are gambling with her as a reward.
