Yeah you are right. Most of this episode was about the team Bijou ^^ But it was still fine :)

I wanna watch the 3rd season so much if possible :/

Hey subs are out for this now. It was weird to see Ookiku back after the second season ended, but it was a fairly mellow episode connecting episodes twelve to thirteen.

If anything, this episode just made me want the next season of Ookiku with lots of Mihashi and Okazaki Tomoya.

Breathtaking masterpiece of an episode. The moral ambiguity, character development, intricatedness of the grand plot and subplots and the incredible level of detail make it the best sports series ever made. By far.

In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same.

The was a pretty interesting examination of the whole cheating angle, quite different from the usual trite emphasis on fair play. Without this it was merely a red herring for the game. Certainly worth making this extra episode.

I'm not very appreciative of the infodump about the healing of ligament injuries, though. I had quite enough of that kind of artless, yawn-inducing stuff in the first season from Shiga, thank you.

So-so extra episode. Oh, I kept on forgetting that this happened in between episodes 12 to 13. LOL

Was a bit confused on how the catcher-whose-name-I-forgot was cheating. Oh well.

Hmmm, I'm not that interested in Bijou but I really don't like Roka. Even if he might have had reasons.

God this epsiode was so great, I can't believe they left it out???? It was such an important part of the series as a whole I think. Plus, they referenced a lot of stuff from this episode

Hope the cheating will stop now, injuring an opponent is horrible.
Their goals are great too, fight on!

this is ep 12.5 yeah?

man.. knew something was up. i like how they give all perspective on this cheating part. the culprit, the culprit's associates, the one who made him do it, and the one who caught him do it. roka is just desperate isnt he? he'll try his best to make the team he coaches wins, even if its on a dirty path. and man i really do like tousei's capt, so happy he got a lot of dialogue and screentime throughout this whole show. wonder if cheater guy will actually admit to it or if they'll get caught some day, how he lowered his head to ask roka to not do this to other people was such a boss move. worth the extra ep liked this a whole lot. tajima and hanai duo after their interview was nice too
