Yay, put on that baseball uniform. Oh, and Tatsuya's opponent was very weak.

Heh, almost makes me wish that there was a boxing version of this anime. Tatsuya makes an interesting fighter.

If I was Tatsuya I'd have been pissed this episode, everyone begging him to play on the team then his boxing manager makes that side deal.

Good episode, Tacchan showed guts in this ep. His opponent was pretty weak tbh but a win is a win, I'll take it any day. His boxing manager sold him out at the end lmao, poor Tacchan. Being forced to play baseball as the pitcher, he got fantastic talent to succeed though.

Episode 29 - What? Kind Tacchan's not qualified to be a boxer !?

I liked boxing side of Tacchan, his opponent wasn't weak, it was weak for his reflexes given that him was an aggressive type that doesn't give much thought, but against another boxer story would be different. Everyone want Tatsuya to play baseball even the trainer getting a side deal with Kuroki I would be pissed at it, but in the end Tatsuya really want to play baseball, it was his first choice in the past after all, but he will do a fine boxer too, his reflexes are pretty good.

This was so bad, I was hoping Tacchan would have the initiative, and start playing baseball by himself, for Minami or Kacchan or anything, but because he truly wanted to, but he was forced. Kuroki, and Sachiko didn't give up, and started to stalk him, trying to demotivate him about boxing for their own selfish reasons, when even Minami was rooting for him!

His boxing coach was a joke too, he never believed in him from the beginning, and put him to fight against the strongest opponent as a "necessary sacrifice" for winning, but even though Tacchan won, he still used excuses to expel him from the boxing club in exchange for a sign from a star or something, this is insufferable.

Mmmh seems like he is going to join the baseball team afterall, too bad i'd prefer if he would stick with boxing.
I really hope this isen't going to be a " Tatsuya doing everything to replace Kazuya type of thing"
Tatsuya himself said that he is never going to replace Kazuya but seems like that slowly but surely is what is expected from him.

The "sacrifice" surprised everyone, but I felt kinda bad for his opponent xD

Time to start baseball.

Despite me wanting to see Tatsuya pick up the baseball sport and him wanting to do it but hiding it, I think it's also a bit selfish of the rest to push him into baseball in case he really didn't want to join it.

I knew Tatsuya was eventually going to have to pick baseball back up whether he wanted to or not. I also knew Koutarou was going to be against Tacchan joining the club. But the manager and the captain really insisted on him joining.

For some reason I found the boxing match funny af. But I feel sympathetic to Tacchan's opponent as he won't be getting his revenge.

The boxing club captain literally sold Tacchan for an autograph lmao. I looked up Yoshinaga Sayuri and she's a real actress! Might've been popular at the time in Japan. Her debut was in 1960 but Touch takes place in 1985? The last movie she starred in (so far) came out as late as 2021!

Almost all the characters in the show are so annoying except for Harada. Everyone is kind of forcing Tatsuya to play baseball, not even himself has his own drive to change for the better and now Katsuya is completely disregarded and disposed of from the show without any farewell from anyone.

It is a shame I liked the boxing. I didn't want a Kazuya v2.0.
