| Wow, that was a nice touch by making the crows explain the rare ability of eagle's eyes in their own perspective. I remember reading in the manga before and it was only plastered in the panels in a narrative like form. I am super hyped that a lot of viewers appreciates Ashito's development now. Bet you're gonna love him more in the future episodes and matches where you can further witness his tremendous growth as a player. I started reading the manga last week since I cannot wait for the next episode anymore and just caught up with the latest chapters. And all I can say is there are so much more to look forward to this adaptation! Not only Ashito but with the other characters as well (like Akutsu hehehe. I hate him in the 1st episode but slowly his character is growing on me after reading the manga). I just hope and pray that the future anime adaptations will also be as powerful and intense as the manga :) |
Smudy said: I have to say that i was a bit disappointed with the lack of hype during Aoi's goal, the crow narration before was neat but after that, the music just wasn't worthy of a climax and the goal came abrupt. No big yelling or celebrations, just a still frame of it. Only this though, everything else i really liked as usual, Ashito and Hana continue to be absolutely adorable together, Ashito's development is awesome and the tactics being throughly looked at, great. I guess they are saving up the animation budget for the important matches in the future. And yeah, totally agree with how adorable Ashito and Hana's interactions are :) |
| Now this was some good episode, never did I doubt they'd lose to those high schoolers and indeed the win was as emphatic as it can be. One goal and an assist, guess Aoi finally earned some social credit lol. Also yeah the usual "eagle eye" of the protagonist finally made an appearance. |

This moment was so hype |
3x the concussion rate for 300x the excitement |
| that was a very weak "apology" from Asari so even though he seems to be far more reasonable than Akutsu, he is still a little bitch in my book... |
| see you, space cowperson . . . |
| Ashito's finally got the hang of the trio formation As someone who doesn't know jack about soccer and only played it for fun, I really appreciate how well they explain 'The Triangle'/3 man formation. Aoi's getting into the game so well now that he can make guesses and predictions on how he, his teammates, and opponents will move and what kind of plays they will make. Ashito's improving a LOT! Anri giving tips to Aoi? I wanna see more of Team A and the actual national Junior League team. This episode felt so fucking short lol. Amazing episode. Aoi totally wooed Hana with that final goal lol Can't wait for more! |

| Seeing the match on tv, maybe I'm getting ahead of myself but gets me excited to eventually see the main cast move up to the J1 league themselves, maybe to move to other foreign clubs even and eventually play for the Japan National Side. I don't know if realistically that will happen though, especially season 1 I guess they're likely to be the Esperion youth still |

ryo-san said: I loved this explanation, thank you. I haven't seen discourse on this since KnB.Let's talk ball Triangle: core of buildup It's as simple as it gets. Like they told us in the episode 3 people link with eachother to try to build up some kind of play that can produce goals. The thing about the triangle is its efficiency. Football is a fast paced game, one hardly has thinking time and in a game of 90mins an average players has possession of the ball for an average time of just a single minute. So Passing the ball is the most effective and efficient way to score goals in football. Why? Becz it's faster, -it's has an element of -unpredictability -it conserves player's stamina -it's press resistant (pressing means when opponent runs at you in order to close down space and to win the ball) Ao discovery the triangle in this match. Triangle is one of the various patterns of passing the ball around the pitch. What advantage 3 people have over 2 people is simple having extra support, support in numbers. If one teammate is marked (marking in football means an opponent checking over your teammate) you simply pass to the other guy and vice-versa. Playing in a triangle is like the very nxt step a player learns after basic passing. Take a look at the image about how premier league teams pass the ball in triangles (season 2021-2022) just google it and it will be the 1st image shown. (I try posting it here but the entire comment got removed lol) Look how good triangles Man City and Liverpool stir up together. And they scored the most goals in the league. The teams with little no. of triangles are not so surprisingly scored lesser amount of goals eg. manchester united (every team has passed some amount of balls in a triangle but the image only shows it if they do it in more) Every single professional football team and even many amature teams works with the triangle, the difference is the quality of the triangle. Ashito: The Flow state Bluelock readers must be familiar with this term. Its a mental aspect of sports and it actually exists in real life. Any athelete, yes ANY athelete even you and me, it doesn't have to be football it can literally be any sport it can even be any other activity, ANYONE can enter the flow state. I will give an example, did it ever happen to you like you are playing a video game for 10 mins and then you check the time and it's been 2 hours since you started playing! You ask yourself "geez the time flew by so fast". OR Pov: watching a good anime episode Yeah that's the flow state. I have personally been in the flow many times while playing football. When one is in flow state, they are - deeply immensed in the activity. - soo concentrated they lose sense of time. We will talk about flow in terms of football here. Flow is the state in which a player performs at the maximum of their ability. They don't need a second thought, it's like everything is happening on its own. You know what, when one is in flow, they don't really feel tired, they are tired but they don't feel it becz they are enjoying the moment. It's actually like a superpower but anybody can have the key to it. Anybody can enter flow but not everyone enters flow, becz there are elements like pressure and discomfort which ruins the pleasure. Well great players seek pressure and they enjoy working with it and ofcourse they enter the flow state more than other players who crumble under the pressure. How to enter flow? There is no real rocket science here, one just needs to enjoy what they are doing with a little bit of challenge to work the brain, otherwise without challenge things will get boring and you won't enjoy it. Ao entered the flow state but he looked tired in the eyes. Thats becz of all his weeks of overtraining at nights. He was not feeling the fatigue becz he was immensed in the game. Another thing that's actually NOT a super power is how Ao was able to predict the opponents movements. Many players can do that and it's called "reading the play" . It comes with experience and talent does affect the quality one can "read the play". Every player weather its a defender, a midfielders, a forward they all have ability to read the play but they use it for different purposes. |

| Finally our boy is beginning to grasp tactics. Who the hell taught this poor kid? His team mates are right! This is like the most basic of basic stuff. But I'm willing to let it go for the sake of the plot as it's very nice to see these kinds of break downs. The way that the triangle was explained to me was: "If you got the ball, you always have the option of going straight or passing to the right or left. If you don't have the ball, get to the right or left of the guy who does. If he starts to dribble, move up with him." And that's about it! If you understand that, then congratz you are now as tactically skilled as Aoi here. I kind of find it funny that they're calling it "Eagle Eye" but have always shown crows, but that's just me being biased and nitpicky. |
-insert NGE meme here- |
| I can see they're starting to show hints for when the manga transitions into a super hero story as Aoi get's recruited by the JHA (Japanese Hero Association) for his precognition ability. |
| Ngl, not paying much attention to the basics and fundamentals is a very relatable flaw xD With the newly gained understanding of tactics Aoi is finally tapping into the realm of his whole potenial. Baka yet tensai at the same time, the typcial shounen protagonist. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Since crows typically fly through the area, I think the name of the ability should be different. Perhaps they chose the name "eagles eyes" to avoid being compared to Haikyuu. And I assume Kuribayashi is the man in the cap who is observing Aoi? It appears that the sponsor girl is looking to evaluate Aoi's eagles eye potential. In short, he might learn more about his ability by doing this or maybe is something entirely different and I’m just reading too much into it 💀 |

| He really have an eagle eye :) |

| My boy should just play CAM instead of Forward... |
| Really liking it so far. Was a bit surprised by the crows suddenly explaining Aoi's godlike power of knowing every single players position and somehow being able to look into all kinds of different realities lol. Anyway it's all good fun, glad Aoi's learning more and more of the basics. |

| Great episode this is def better than FrameLock |
