| At the moment the music started to be played in the background, I knew it was Sora & his mom's last moments. Honestly I even expected her to pass away on screen but it'd have been really worse in terms of sadness. After like 5-6 episodes, we eventually discovered that Kuzu High lost the match but I doubt this is any important right now. How's the team going to survive/evolve remains the major question. |
 |
| wow! This is out right pure TORTURE! -Sora's mom passed away -team lost the game -tobi might change schools? -basketball club is on fire!? 1/5. |
 |
| Wtf man this is too much. They lost the game, Sora's mom died and the locker room is burning. This was too much sigh. |
 |
| Damn, Miss Kurumatani actually left us. Honestly, the whole sequence wasn't as heartbreaking as I was expecting but still, it was decently executed. Would have been better if we knew what disease she was suffering from tho. It would have made viewers (me included) empathize with her in an easier and deeper way but that's just my opinion. Quite the eventful episode we had this week. Lots of things were addressed and fortunately, most of them were handled quite decently without ruining the pacing nor the overall heavy mood. My only complain would be with how they tried to needlessly increase even more the "angst" factor by having Madoka nearly being assaulted. It was completely unnecessary but at least, the moment didn't last long thanks to our boy Chiaki. Also, Tobi deciding to stay at Kuzu was predictable yet reassuring to see. Though truth being told, seeing him showing such strong resolution and optimism just to then jump to the following scene with the basketball club room being on fire was kinda funny xD Well, they lost the game and there are still 17 eps. left. I have no idea how the story will play out from here on but let's hope things won't go downhill now that one of the plot's main goals is no longer reachable. |
RW0 said: I'm not gonna address the game being long because I think criticizing pacing is weird in general. I mean, if your starting point is a total dismissal the crux of my entire post with a handwave because it's "weird" (what does that even mean btw?), of course you're not gonna understand anything I've just explained right there. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ |
| Oh my oh my. That was an emotionally heavy episode. Good stuff. So the school is burning down because of that cigarette... So funny :D And yes, sneaky ninjas were chopping onions. That ending song is phenomenal and fits well. |
 |
| Wow they are real THUGS they SMOKE its unacceptable !!!!!! Madoka has feelings out of nowhere for momoharu W T F More and more drama its ridiculous |

| We are lucky that the mysterious Anime Parents Death Disease ain't real or we'd all be orphans. I love how it's never explained. It's always just "she/he has a disease" "F" |
| what a sad ep :( When Sora thanked his mom, I couldn't stop my tears :( in one day he lost his first match ever and lost his mom ; just why all this happen to him :( I really love all the members of the team |
| Aah shit! Given the fact that she wanted to see him play this day was giving it away, but no amount of foreshadowing could've prepared me for the feels. The dialogue between Sora and his mom was incredidbly touching. Even as someone working in a hospital, this still got me. As for the match. Kuzu's loss made this episode even more depressing. Still, congrats to Shinjo, catching up wasn't for naught. Really excited for the direction this series is going to take now. Edit: Just realized that Kite refused the offer from the school he wanted to visit before coming to Kuzu, made the scene at the end too badass. |

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Damn... This episode is heartbreaking.. It f*cking got me. |
| RIP Sora’s mum (;´༎ຶٹ༎ຶ`) that was so sad to see Sora just being there with his dearest mum at the last moments...... I’m glad he was able to be there by her deathbed. Sora thanking his mum was so heart-wrenching. Such a good kid. Tobi is the best boy. Ugh I love him for what he did. He’s the best!!!!! That whole 1% bet thing was great dialogue. And uwuUuu at that subtle detail of that coach being drunk, he was upset that Sora’s mum had passed away. I guess they hinted at him being in love with her of sorts. That was sad. Development wise was great this episode. I also liked when Sinjo captain told Chiaki about how his team is great. How respectable. And their faces when their advisor almost caught them smoking LOL |
 ꕤ but i’ll probably remember over and over again you were there and everyone else was there — the day we all searched for just one thing ꕤ |
| The author really had no mercy. Those idiots actually managed to burn down the lockerrooms because of some cigarettes. Its upsetting to see the team lose but still understandable considering they only started one month ago. Got pretty emotional seeing Sora and his mother in their final moment together.... |
 |
| didnt feel like talking about this ep when it first came out because i lost my mom not long before so this whole episode spoke to me an a different level and i felt like i had a connection to sora too. you can throw emotional curveballs like that in a sports anime and it works wonders if pulled off correctly and they did. Especially with the locker rooms up in flames too this was the best episode imo. |
 |
| This episode really hit like a ton of bricks. Without a doubt, the bond between Sora & his mother has been the best part of this whole experience. I was really hoping this wouldn't happen especially when Yuka said she found her new dream of being Sora's coach. It tore me up so much when she apologized for Sora's height only to be thanked for it. While it's been the biggest defining handicap for Sora, it's also been the driving force for why he's been so passionate about basketball. Also big respect to Kite for shutting down that other coach. He's been the most relatable character for me and i like how he isn't second guessing where he really belongs. |
