Wow, this episode! Shit! My gosh, that part where Ryuzaki hit it in with the handle of her broken racket, that was by far the most awesome move I've seen (and this is coming from someone who watched Prince of Tennis!)

"All I have left now is tennis! I won't lose!"

Didn't Joe think something similar just before he DIED IN THE RING?

Anyway, the coach is really bringing the point home now: if you want to be a truly excellent, world-class player at anything you have to give up everything else, and yet some people need that recognition so much that they are willing to make that deal.

One episode to go, and unfortunately it is bad shounen time. Oka is DEFINITELY facing Ryuuzaki next, and we aren't even getting one episode to satisfyingly end the series.

Was worried for a second there that they were actually going to to let Oka win that match.

I always disliked the whole male physical superiority over female but the episode managed to make it bearable and to do something beneficial with it.

The coach giving her sister the match she wanted was a good demonstration for the heroin as well as a good way to settle the score between the characters.

4/5 I thought he would aim for a "power technical" tennis though...

Well, it was obvious that Hiromi would loose,but at least she showed some good spirit and potential there, also liked how they handled the man vs woman topic.

Hiromi couldn't win against that guy, but the fact that she could return some of his balls means that she is getting better, and the coach is proud of her.

Just one more episode left.

Holy shit, Ryuzaki winning what should've been a lost game by hitting the ball with the neck of the racket was really fucking cool. Not sure how this series will be wrapped up, with there only being one episode left.

Madame Butterfly is insane!

Hiromi has grit.

Both of those girls are tough.
