| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Good episode, Goro and Gibson Jr. are both playing well; it'll be interesting to see how this turns out. |
| there are always tickets for Joe Gibson ; ) when they tried to walk Jr, why didn't Sanders stand up and move away from the batter box? I get the feeling that Dad went to every game, but was disguised cause he knew his son didn't want to see him. either that or he had all the games recorded and watched them after, but I think its more likely that he went himself as much as his schedule allowed. I wonder if he'll homer off Goro while batting left handed but not make Goro leave America? it seems kinda pointless for him to take his dad's advice and still fail, but since Goro is 99% guaranteed to win, I'm not really sure. |
| Gibson Jr. and Goro has the best rivalry in the whole series so far, imo. |

| Boy there is some real hatred with the Gibsons. I wonder if Gibson will get a home run off of Goro. |
 |
| Somehow, I feel bad for Jr. His jealousy is understandable which makes it more interesting. I love it when Jr and Gibson passed each other with that slow mo then they glanced at each other. One of the most interesting rivalry I've seen so far. |
| For some reason, I'm getting Cain and Abel vibes from Jr and Goro. At first I was starting to worry that Gibson might have prioritized his atonement to Goro over Jr, but when Gibson mentioned Little League, it was clear that he's been watching over his son this whole time. |
 |
| Well shit, I would just roll with it if I was Goro, I mean sure Gibson literally gave you that catch, but it looked completely bad ass . . . |
 |
| I wonder too why Goro was throwing those easy balls. Well, I mean, easy for Gibson Jr. He was playing a dangerous game. I seriously don't know who will win. In fact, I wonder which would produce more character progression : Gibson Jr losing his bet or winning his bet... Gibson was ice cold with his son though xD Dayum, that was one awkward family reunion. |

| you gotta feel kinda sorry for junior. |
| Fantastic episode, harsh words to his son. |
 |
| I love those lucky moments. |

The sons of Adam and Eve? Cain being Junior? hahaha I see it. |
| I don't really like Junior, but the way his dad neglects him is still kind of uncalled for :\ |
 |
| Gibson Jr. dominated this game against Goro, he didn't want to hit a home run on purpose. Gibson is there to see them both. |
 |
| Gibson went to see his son's games. It doesn't take much reading between the lines to get that from their conversation. Gibson is keeping his son distant because he knows his son hates him and wants nothing to do with him, not because he doesn't love him or because he cares more about Gorou. His claim that he only has one son should be taken at face value. Gibson Jr. is too blinded by his misplaced hatred and jealousy to see that, though. I'm interested in seeing how this plays out. weedie said: wow this anime is just getting retarded.. junior can't even hit goro's pitches and then he goes major and hits 2 home runs every game? wow... just retarded You have no clue what you're talking about, and you make yourself look like the idiot when you trumpet this ignorance so loudly. Pitches at 100MPH or faster are incredible, extremely rare, and very difficult to hit even in the Major League. Well-controlled mid-to-upper 90sMPH would be similarly difficult to hit even in the Majors. It's not that the Major League is being represented poorly. It's that Gorou outclasses the Minor League by that much. |
| Loved the father son interaction and it's kinda sad that Jr. doesn't get his father,really hoping that their relationship will normalize later. Aside from that I was also fond of the intensity when Gorou and Gibson faced off. |

| i admit that gibson jr. seeing goro as rival is making him more bearable, but 'till he forgive honda i will surely not like him as the anime wants. the confrontation of joe gibson and junior were good, finally we got to see gibson more of a father than a player. but gibson jr. really pissing me thinking he could exile goro, if i'm not wrong goro strucked you already. |
| Nice to see a rematch so soon between Goro and Junior but I'm 100% sure Junior lost the bet already. Sad that Junior doesn't try to understand his dad with the latter watching over Goro as atonement but isn't really neglecting Junior as he most likely watched over him in secret during his Little League days. |
 |
| Gibson Jr. story was too melodramatic and didn't work in its chapter... but for some reason he's a good rival for Goro right now. I guess that's fine. |
