| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Damn, this season keeps pushing Hinomaru to his limits. From the match alone, he puts a lot of pressure into his attack despite his opponent's size. Pretty amazing to see how much he can lift even against someone who is much bigger than him. |
 |
| Little sad how the match has turned out but I am more hyped for the come back So coming episodes will be focused on the team |
 |
| That ending bit when he was basically stalking their instagram is hilarious |
| This was intense. At least Hinomaru was able to bring him on his knees. And I'm glad that his dream isn't over yet. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| That was awesome and really intense. Poor Hinomaru. He gave it his fucking all. |
| It feels like I forgot what happened last episode cause the match came out of nowhere. I know they started the Inter High at the end of last episode but we went straight to action in this one I got confused for a moment. Anyway, the match was awesome and super intense. Hinomaru tried his best but unfortunately at the very end he couldn't come out on top. :( The final scene with the captain saying the dream isn't dead yet was awesome. :P Reina was adorable this episode. <3 |

| Still can't believe Ushio lost to Tennouji, but I guess it couldn't be helped since the guy does research on his opponents. The series felt real somehow, since this depicts a sense of growth in his character and that he should approach his upcoming challenges in a different route next time. Tennouji was strong, a yokozuna, loves sumo, was small framed, does research on his opponents and also respects other opponents. It was likely he should win otherwise if he didn't then the series would've been a fluke. But I guess Ushio will redeem himself in the team participation. |

| I didn't really like how that went down. Left a bad taste in my mouth but I guess that was it's purpose, to make me want to see the dream become reality even more. Also is it just me or was the animation slightly better? |
 |
| Sucks he was set up to lose right away. Maybe the rest of team can actually get some solid matches in this time. Also new op/ed is so anti-hype. |
| Sieg Zeon! |
QuattroVaginas said: Yeah, should have kept the previous pair. Also new op/ed is so anti-hype. |
 |
| Yeah.. really been enjoying this until now. Just really awful narrative choice to skip to the final boss. It's also just built up Tennoji too much, this is reminding me of when Kuroko became awful. There's really no good reason for Tennoji to lose - and his love for sumo does clearly trump oni |
 |
| Episode was amazing, but what they have done with OP and EP? Where is the power, where is the hype? Also that super manly "kawaii" in the last scene! |
 |
| i want the old Op and ED back |
  whats a signature |
| Had to watch the first opening again because the new one didn't heat me up. Never expected to see Ushio vs Tennouji right in the bat and see Ushio lose! Still pretty epic battle. Would be pretty cool watch in the individual tournament the match between Tennouji and Kusanaji. |
| new OP was alright but new ED compared to the old ED is a but lackluster... Tennouji was OP, Hinomaru still lose! 4/5. |
 |
| Oh no the op and ed are now gay such a shame... but the episode was really great |

| Best episode of the series so far |
| “I love heroes, but I don't want to be one. Do you even know what a hero is!? For example, you have some meat. Pirates will feast on the meat, but the hero will distribute it among the people! I want to eat the meat!” - Monkey D. Luffy |
| And he loses his match, damn now the team has to win. This just got a lot tougher. |
 |
| A shame about the new ED and OP. |
| For a moment, I thought I skipped an episode since the last one was the introduction to the tournament but in this one, we went straight to Ushio's match with a simple reminder that he had a few other matches before... honestly, I think they could have done a better job with the story progression but well. Anyways, it was another intense episode. Hinomaru sure gave everything he could but sadly, it wasn't enough. However, it was still predictable at some point since Tennouji is the current champion and this episode just portrayed how much of a formidable opponent he can be. And now, it all will depend on the team's efforts to accomplish Ushio's dream. Those matches sure are going to be amazing to watch. |

| I loved the original OP theme, and I'm not really a fan of the new OP, aside from getting a chuckle out of the "be naked" part. The new ED isn't bad though. It was hard to see Hinomaru lose to Tennouji, although the match was close, with Tennouji acknowledging Hinomaru's strength, as he was once as small as him. Hinomaru isn't going to let this loss stop him though. Like with all losses, you learn from them. |
 |
| a hella sick bout - respect to both tennoji and hinomaru |
AnimeFreak-San said: is this a male gender issure...human issue...mental illness perhaps? |
| Didn't expect Ushio to fight Tennoji so quickly in the individual fights, almost believed he had no way of becoming pro Luckily he still has a chance to beat Tennoji in the team matches, together with nakama powah they can do it!!! Lmao that after credit scene of Tennoji stalking Yuma |
