So yeah, Kuga, Heath and Yagami should have just told their sensei what really happened. The stupid third year relationer tried to put the blame of his mistake on Heath. Kinda stupid I think. There really wasn't any need to become the bad guy for Kuga. And I don't think that this would have destroyed the club or anything – only the third years would have left, the second years would still remain. They probably wanted Kuga to be the misunderstood hero or whatever.

And Kuga had to make a dramatic late entry as he shows up just when their time to report their running line up was almost over. Oh well, now they've got the former Honan star back in their team. This will make things easier for them since they won't have slow ass Ayumu anymore.

This Kuga person is kinda.... corny.
and i find him annoying.....
and his cheap blonde walmart weave is so....... lame.......
so pedestrian

I barfed a little when he was just driving away with his bike without answering anything to heath.... and that entrance at the end with wind and leaves everywhere.......EWWWW DISGUSTING! i guess this is my fault for watching something adapted from otome game, i cant believe girls are actually liking corny scenes like that...

Only keep watching to see more stride especially Hozumi's

At the beginning of the episode, I was going to expect these forums to fill up with constant bashing of Kyosuke, but when I finished, I was like...Never mind! I guess the forums aren't going to be filled with hate! I'm glad.

And when he came back to the team I was cheering while fangirling and the same time. What is it? Cheergirling? Fancheering? The world may never know...

STORY TIME!

At the "girl's club" at my school I told my teacher I liked him for "personal reasons" and she asked if he was good looking and I said yes. But that's not the true reason I like Kyosuke.....c:

What a hugely disappointing episode. That forced drama with that shitty logic.

"These douchebag third years broke Heath's leg. Lets have a second year take the blame and permanently leave the club and not tell anyone the truth because itll split the club up, instead of just kicking out the shitty third years...*one year later* well, the third years are gone, but lets still not let the second year back into the club and lets not tell anyone that he was actually innocent, using this misunderstanding to keep the club still divided."

Damn, the forced drama was shitty as fuck in this episode. Dropping it now.
Not even bothering to reply on my comment replies...why not play the damn game to understand better?

I saw your comments and okay, I accept that you have a different opinion than I had, I still find PoS fine and I love the soundtracks in it, I accept that you dropped it because of various reasons, I know we all need to express our opinions, but sometimes, it's good to have it for yourselves :3 I am sorry for my outburst, I was so surprised someone dropped the anime because of the reasons in the new episodes xD Sorry once again ;w;

Kick right off the bat, and Kadowaki seemed quite healthy (probably faking it), yoo telling the nurse to be "more gentle" ayy
That 3rd year senpai kicked Heath for no reaso, If I was there I'd fuck him up
Hopefully he's not affected too damn much by that injury
Ukitake looking guy joins the team
Overall this episode was quite cliche, but nothing bad.

im sorry but this ep was really bad. instead of doing something interesting and going into a went to far and messed up and now needing to earn back trust character arch, they do the boring evil third year thing like. idk, im disapointed and on the verge of dropping.

They should just stick to running, because everything outside of it has been kinda silly. I get the whole bit about keeping the fight quiet for some time to prevent being forced to disband, but to not tell the truth to your teammate immediately after the dust settles, so you can go back to business as usual, is just fucking dumb. Sure there might be more to it that could be brought up in later episodes or the go further in depth in the game, but do keep up this cryptic tone that ended up coming across really flat was the wrong way to go about it.

And can we please just get on with Kise's brother, I'm tired of waiting for him to "pop" from people bringing it up every time they learn his name.

Didn't enjoy plot so far but it's nice to have Kyousuke back in team. Now it might be realistic to beat any opponent allthough it's hard to judge how good the members of Honan Team really are. I hope there would be at least little build up for atmosphere for next matches.

So far 4/10 (below average, not bad)

Pink-haired Aomine returns.

Kyousuke is my favorite boy just because of this.
Honestly I don't even care about his backstory, I just want to hear him talk for the whole episode.

Episode slow in pace but not boring, the KGB background to come to the surface and fright for a despicable action by the handsome long-haired, is just a bad memory, thank goodness! lovable narration, much of the credit goes to Kadowaki, always funny his jokes, drawings and animations are good. Funny Fujiwara's complex for legs.

yeah, it can't deal with drama nicely, like in haikyuu. there is a life outside of sports and that'd one well.

but to be fair this is more directed towards the ladies and their impossible-to-understand obsession with yaoi so it's understandable that it's not that deep in plot. i just hope that it doesn't fall down on that route.

And can we please just get on with Kise's brother, I'm tired of waiting for him to "pop" from people bringing it up every time they learn his name.


I KNOW RIGHT?!? WHERE IS HE

now in contrast to them all, fujiwara is the most one-note, hope he gets some character development too! i think i like hasekura the best for now♡

personally felt like the drama was alright & a good introduction for kuga back into the team. nothing felt dragged out longer than it needed to be, the pacing is great!

WTF tho @ "KGB" incident jesus........







but i’ll probably remember over and over again
you were there and everyone else was there

I knew Kyousuke wasn't bad. He's way too gentle to be violent. Self sacrificed himself to save everyone.
