| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Flashback episode with Ryousuke. He's cute as a kid but also a valuable asset out on the field so it's nice to know a bit about him before he made it to the team. Can't wait to see the next OVA! |
 |
| Good OVA. We got some extra scenes with Ryousuke/Haruichi that we didn't see in the manga either. |

| Ryousuke and Haruichi's childhood from Ryousuke's perspective! Haruichi following Ryousuke's footsteps, really liked it when Ryousuke hit the bullies back. The responsibility as the elder sibling, his one and final selfish request to go to Seido. Enjoyed the rivalry that the two shared. Really loved the tone Ryousuke had as he says that being an older brother is troublesome ending with a smile from Haru. |
 |
| LoL, they look cute. |
| Good OVA, i was expecting a little more game but still enjoyed it anyway. |
| Tearing up watching this T__T |
| Such a great OVA episode >< Now I think I understand him a lot more. It always seemed like he was "annoyed" at Haruichi since he always said that "Haruichi always copies me." But then he would always be smiling, like what he said/thought was different from his expression. In the end he just didn't want to let down his little brother who followed him around ^^ he said it was tiresome but he enjoys it I'm sure. Love these two siblings and I really like the focus on Ryousuke. |

| Any news on when the second episode is gonna be released? |
| Aniki!!!... |
 |
| Precious. Haruichi and Ryosuke's relationship is pretty complicated actually. I can't tell if Ryosuke is happy or not that his brother is following his footsteps. |
| Pretty cute ova. I like how his brother following him makes him want to challenge himself because he knows what he does is going to make a difference with his brother. Maintaining that positive influence can be pretty difficult as he said :P |
| the official MAL hall of fame/cursed comments is now open for business - you are welcome to PM me any potential quotes to include |
| Wasn't it supposed for all the 3rd year players in Seido to be shitty in the beginning? That's what we saw in the anime, and then the OVA shows us that Ryousuke was a genius kid in baseball... well, it's true that they never said that he was horrible like Yuki and the others so it's not as strange as it may seem. |
| ^ They're not "shitty", more like they're new to HS Baseball and everyone calls them bad at the start. As much as Ryosuke was a genius, he got even better later on. |
| I like how their relationship helps them to get better. One tries to catch up to his brother while the other doesn't want to look unimpressive in front of him. |

Well they were never shitty baseball players. If they were they would have never been accepted into a school as prominent as Seido. They were just relatively bad compared to the rest of the upperclassmen and other big time schools. But even during the scene where the Seido guys are taking groundballs they say "Tired already? Looks like this year's batch of underclassmen are horrible!". |

| Ryosuke on the phone "We'll make nationals for sure next year" Dem feels, no my boy, you'll never make nationals in your whole life, you will never, not even once, stand on the grounds for nationals, till the day you die. |
| How do I signature? |

ova 2  |
 |
| I'm trying to imagine what kind of pride was going through the Kominato parents when they saw Harucchi replace Ryosuke.... I can't really imagine it well. |
 |

|
| Nice brotherly episode. |
 |
| Tbh Haruichi looks up to his brother a little too much but seeing more of them when they were younger was still cool. |
 |
| This was a cute episode, brotherly love is something precious. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Awesome! Throughout the entire season 1 & 2, I wanted to know more about these brothers. Good job revealing this in the OVA. Love the competitive, yet amicable sibling rivalry; Ryo and Haru got it going' on. |
| Pink brothers!! They are so cute and sweet!! Ryosuke is really scary, especially when he smiles mockingly xD |
| Proverbs 4:23 Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. |
| Wholesome episode on the brothers. When Ryousuke first appeared he was quite cold towards Haruichi but seeing later on and also in this ova that he just didn't want to let Haruichi's expectations down as he looks up to him makes him a great older brother in my opinion. |
 |
| Finally decided to watch the OAV starting by this one. It was nice to see a glimpse of the past between the two brothers |
 「 To other people, I might not have changed at all, but I feel like I was able to change... 」 |
| This is wholesome I’m glad that their relationship improved. |
 |
| Can't get enough of these two cuties together <3 |
