Manhood lol

This episode was kinda depressing on some levels not just with their recent loss but also having to take on another team of players, who aren't exactly the friendly type. Plus, I think this episode really stresses on how a team needs all their players in order to make it a whole.

And oh, Kazuki is kinda badass.

This episode has both manhood and manhole, I choose the latter...

Anyway the music is very loud.

Woah, never thought that they'd commit to Shun's death with the death flag of a silent death that other than his medicine being coffee, has the already-disbanded Minato Tribe going more haywire.

This hurts more for Saori because both her and him are a battery of a pitcher and batter together, having gone through experiences of manhood. To make matters worse, their former rival of Adashi Tribe lead by its leader Senju Hyakutaro has kidnapped the sub-leader for their own gain.

Shun didn't just pass on, he'd already prepared his life for the end as and when it would eventually come. For the rest, it's facing against the Adachi Tribe and their ruthless "dungeon" playing field without their most important strategy players, which sends them to a frenzy daze.

This mysterious player whom appeared out of nowhere under Shun's recommendation...talk is cheap, action is king, so prove it and he did: the new stratagem player Kazuki Aoyama.

Yeah, that's unfortunate that the audio muxing wasn't done well.

Well at least kamiya asked his evil twin to help the minato tribe in moments like this, a little disappointed that they are that bad without him or they are just depressed and now they are going to show their stuff.

Well, rip Kamiya, should've known it more faster when i can decipher the poster meaning. But, lifes needs to moving on, especially for Arisugawa. Then, as expected, they already got a challenge from the noisy motorbike gang tribe. Surprisingly each of their tribe had different style of home, eh? Those gang owned their shopping district and turned it into a dungeon. Seems bad for playing baseball, but those guys really known well what lies under their homebase. So, its understandable for Minato folks to be slaughtered in one game, but the arrival of the new guy seems to turn the table fastest than those glowing ball. Alright, lets the introduction fell short for the new guy and take the queen back from those chinpira.

Kamiya's replacement couldn't be more suspicious.
I've got a hunch he's just a temporary ally that wants to uplift the crestfallen Minato for his own agenda.

So... Kamiya is dead. That's a shame, he was actually a pretty cool character. Rest in peace.

BUTTTTTTTT, I may have some theories about our blue friend at the end here.

1) He's Kamiya's brother, or half-brother, or something.

2) Kamiya's not actually dead, Blue Kamiya is just the real Kamiya in disguise. He faked his death to rally Minato Tribe and play some mind games with the other tribes.

3) Kamiya DID indeed die, but his body was taken away and he was resurrected for some purpose by an organisation lurking in the shadows... and he's been implanted back into Minato Tribe for his mission, either to take them down from the inside, to rise up against the royal family and take down the system, or just to plain ruin XB.

Look, if the creator of Danganronpa is involved, I've learnt to expect literally anything to happen.




ALSO THE MUSIC IS REALLY LOUD THEY COULD STAND TO TURN IT DOWN A LITTLE!

I liked this one, so Kamiya actually died, a little surprised about that, but now Minato Tribe is up against a biker gang from Adachi City to save Arisugawa, and they aren’t exactly playing fair, but from what I’ve gathered so far there really is not much fairness in this sport lol. I like the biker guys tho, they have cool designs and Adachi City looks really cool. And now that this new guy has shown up Minato Tribe is gonna gain the upper hand. Sad no ED this week.

Also I guess I’m the only one that didn’t notice the music being too loud lol, I was just enjoying the ost while reading the subs, but thinking back maybe it was too loud.

Gaddamn, the episode really started with confirmation that Shun is dead. The background music was definitely loud, but I don't really mind that much, the soundtrack is a banger.

Yep. Kamiya is actually dead. lol. Ishida Akira dies again!

I couldn't actually feel Kamiya's death at all. They should have made the death have some more weight instead of just building up to a new game.

Another guy, Aoyama, is here to replace Kamiya. And, he acts just like him. It's like Kamiya's still here. I wish he was different from Kamiya in some ways and slight similar in some other ways so that he'd remind us of him, but never truly replace him.

A guy who speaks with his tongue hanging out—that should be impossible. But, in fiction, if something is believable, it should be enough. Sadly, it also doesn't look believable!

Seriously, Kamiya died? I didn't expect they would actually kill him off. I just hope that the new character and story will be able to carry the show onward without Shun, because I feel like his charisma and energy were half the fun.

So Kamiya is gone for good and he asked Kazuki to step in a help the Minato tribe that is struggling against the Adachi tribe and the complex shopping district. I wonder what happened to Kazuki's left arm?

Obviously the show is ridiculous on purpose, but it's just too dumb. There's a line between stupid awesome and stupid stupid, and this is on the wrong side of it.

Wait, they actually killed Kamiya off. That sucks tbh he was my favorite aspect of the show. I'm gonna miss him.

I do like the gimmick of the Adachi field, makes me look forward to what other gimmicks we'll see in the future. Also these guys just driving around with motorcycles lol that's pretty funny.

The audio mixing for this ep was horrendous. The BGM is good but damn you don't have to make it this loud. Hopefully they'll get their shit together for the next episode.

Not entirely convinced that Kamiya is dead. The new guy at the end is interesting tho.

The seiyuu who voiced the Hyaku guy sounds so much like Suzuki Tatsuhisa that he should just replace him in all of his roles lmao.

This episode felt really rushed. There was so much still animation and flashbacks of things we could have put together with context clues. I like this show because it's essentially yugioh with baseball but for an action show to have this much still animation is incredible.

I thought at the end of the previous episode Kamiya just fell asleep...to think he actually died I almost felt like I skipped one episode or something...

This new character looks so much like Kamiya. He could be his brother or cousin.

This match with the gimmick of an endless shopping centre + opponents riding on motorcycles is awesome

Was thinking at first that the manholes function as maps but woah they're straight up cheating with the underground part

No wonder Minato tribe lost so many points considering they neither have Kamiya (rip) or Saori who is their playmaker. Good thing Kamiya's look-a-like replacement has arrived in time.
