----------------------------------------
Madoka is enjoying herself on her swimsuit while the guys are practicing. lol @ deciding teams to practice by janken... very messy janken that never going to decide.
In the end, Madoka stepped up and chose by picking up papers.
Ginga and Yuu vs. Masamune and Tsubasa.
Battle begins and Ginga released his skill in the beginning. Then because they are aiming for same enemy, so they bumped each other and began arguing. Masamune began chasing them and Tsubasa released his skill! He almost blew all of them, including Masamune's and he didn't realize that!
Yuu is pissed and released his skill, involving Ginga's. Ginga bumped Masamune while escaping. Masamune attacked Tsubasa. They don't care about enemy or partner anymore.
Madoka cannot bear with those nonsense anymore. All four of them are blaming on each teammates for not building up teammateship.
Madoka said then let's end everything including going on World battle because if they are like this forever, they won't be able to win against Euro team. And their team is disbanded!
They are all nervous about what Madoka said when she's gone. They went to try to say sorry to her together.
When they are thinking that there's no way to make up for Madoka's angerness, they heard China team! They heard about Ginga and others losing to Euro team from the information through 4000 years history stuff... (lol @ someone saying everything is 4000 years.) So they came to help them since they thought they might be depressed. They want to get revenge from the "strong" Gun Gun Galexy and that they still have wild card, which is... loser team can challenge the one who won and replace them to be in the tournament. They already one the first one.
They are laughing at them for being in sad faces and that they don't know about wild card. And when they asked about Madoka, Ginga and others when emm...
Womanizer member of China team is going to help them with Madoka matter after he heard what's the situation.
Madoka was shocked at seeing him. Madoka's laughing! Ginga and others are shocked at Madoka laughing and Tsubasa commented "is it also one of the skill with 4000 year history?" (lol~) Madoka said let's train!
China team's formation.... wow. Ginga and others said it's impossible and the China team said they know, they will let Ginga and others to do easier one. They just wanted to do it...
They are being tied in each leg and run (what's that called... 3 legged 2 people?). Masamune and Ginga fell right in the beginning.
And Yuu is painful because of height difference.
Madoka is thinking they are messy and never get clean up like that. China team said it's ok, they were messy in the beginning, too.
Ginga and Masamune found a way to get clean up and counting 1, 2, 1, 2...
Tsubasa and Yuu, too, found a way to match according to Yuu's legs.
More trainings...
In the end, when all four of them are tied on the legs together, they are clean up. China team leader said, let's go for final step, which is battle.
At the end, their janken are not messy anymore and decided quick enough. Masamune and Ginga, and Yuu and Tsubasa vs. each two of China team.
Ginga and Masamune are both aiming for leader's bey and forgot about the womanizer one. They got attacked by going sandwich, but fortunately they are still alive.
Tsubasa is slowing down? Then Yuu did his skill and almost hit Tsubasa's! Then they got attacked by Meimei and little guy's attack (little guy going first and when they thought it's useless, Meimei got the chance to attack the bey).
China team is laughing at how weak they are in teamwork and said they are going to battle in world competition. Ginga and others admit that they lack in teamwork and that would make them impossible to win, but they also try their best in winning.
Then they begin to do teamwork. Masamune and Ginga giving each other chance to attack. Tsubasa blocked Meimei's attack and let Yuu attack.
Everyone released their skills. They are all lost.
China team is impressed with how they are in teamwork just now. Then Ginga and others are commenting messily.
China team told them they will surely win the comeback battle and told Ginga and others not to lose until fighting against them.
Checking on the next battle. China team leader is shocked at Wild fung, a team from Africa that won incredibly. And the leader of that is like an angry lion.
Next ep... that leader is Kyouya! He's with Africa team just to battle against Ginga.
I ♥Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!!
I... didn't like this episode. Oh, sure I'm happy to see Chaushin. But the rest is annoying and I agree with Madoka. They aren't even trying to work together. I can believe Masamune and Yuu don't know the meaning of teamwork. But Tsubasa? Ginga? Yeeeeah, no, if anything they're the type who are flexible enough. Why didn't this ep have Tsubasa and Ginga try to work together? Why is it always Masamune and Ginga in the end? Ugh. The whole thing felt forced.
Tsubasa with his hair in a braid is such a good look on him. I wish that was his standard look.
I feel Madoka got angry for the wrong reason. Yes, it sucks they were arguing. But what did you expect? All four are mainly single battlers with very different battle styles. Then arguing is a good thing since it's practice. Don't want a few good practice runs and then fail when it matters most. Madoka expected top quality teamwork way too early. If their arguing was later in the season, then she would be justified. But at the start? No way.
