| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Enjoyable ep. I was surprised that Goro actually lost. Seems like he's off to America based on the previews. |
| Man was that rough. Gotta feel bad for the dude. |
| Goro looked really cool under that awesome sunlight, kinda like a hero. Toshi, you're just a loser, you just ruined the farewell he got. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| I really enjoyed it, and indeed it was surprising that they've lost. I found that a really good solution after they created such a huge cliché mess in this series.~ Though I still love this~ |
 |
| Goro really did his best. I'm proud of him ^^ |
 |
| Oh my god...Goro vs Mayumura was intense as heck. I still remember it after two years... |
| Damn that was good. I always thought he needs to lose but after this...I don't know what to think. However almost 200 pitches?! Good god almighty. |
 |
| Major finally redeemed itself after the last shitty repetitive episodes. This match ended on an epic note. It's probably the best episode of all the series so far. I'm glad he finally lost an official game, in fact that's the first official game he lost IIRC (his team lost in season 1 but he wasn't playing due to his injuries so they don't count). It made the episode feel more realistic. |

| Simply loved it. Great episode. and I loved the part with his dad so amazing! 5/5 for sure! |
 |
| Nothing but respect for Goro this episode. |
 |
| I didn't think that I would seriously cry for this ep. *sniffing while typing this post* I thought they would win against Kaido, that was very unexpected. And this ep, DID make the previous episodes realistic now! I cannot drop Majors now seeing that ending. It was really unbelievable that they could win against Kaido. If they won, I decided to drop this anime. But I think, either way, I will always go back to this because I don't like not finishing what I've started including the fact that this series was good. And Toshi running to Goro like that, I remember that day when Goro visited Toshi when they're still young and told him he can't play baseball because his father died. Toshi did the same thing again and cheered Goro to go back again and stand on that mound. This was the best episode in the S3! lovexLuffy said: Simply loved it.

| Thank god they lost, 190+ pitches is just to much for 1 person. And to be fair Kaido deserves it, with the skill they've got. |

They deserved something alright, but sad to say Koshien was not it. Thank god they lost, 190+ pitches is just to much for 1 person. And to be fair Kaido deserves it, with the skill they've got. Anyways, enough hate for now, hope that Goro didn't blow out his foot and will be able to pitch again. If this was a permanent injury I'll be pissed. |

| How do I signature? |
| Wow, surprising turn of events! Through this season I often thought if Gorou could fight against all three pitchers of Kaidou, then seriously, he also deserved the victory of the game. He pitches versus the Kaidou, enduring even the extra innings... I admit he is amazing. Anyway, things are getting realistic again, I'm glad. |
| I dont know about anyone else but i teared up when goro fell |
| The feel when you win with a balk... One can't just accept that. More seriously, Goro showed that even if soemtime he's so annoying, he can be so freaking awesome like in that episode. Mayumura kept being ice cold until the very end. If I understand what he meant by that, at the end, Goro can possibly get out of this without repercussions. Remember that even with the painkiller, he was supposed to throw only about 30 pitches? He was at his 184 throw... Gibson get back into the show as it seem. I guess he'll invite him to play in the USA. Anyway, that was the best episode so far. A defeat without any regrets. And a bittersweet win for Kaido. |

| finally, it's over. |
| Amazing, if you just go with it. 5/5 |
 |
| Actually surprised he lost with all the momentum. Then again, even has he has his limits. Sucks to lose like that. |
| He finally reached his limit,he lost yet again but it was amazing to get into extra innings with that team. |

devilzzy said: What ever happened to Toshiya being an ass? Did he have a change of heart when he found out Goro's been playing with an injured foot? lol It almost like there's more to Toshi's character than what it looks like, but leave it most of MAL to take everything at face value and think Toshi is a douchebag lol. As if the previous seasons didn't establish his rivalry with Goro pretty well. Pretty satisfying end to the match. I was thinking either Mayumura would hit a homerun or the match would end with a duel with Toshi, but I'm glad it ended like this since I really didn't expect him to collapse after all. |
 "Your sight, my delight. Will you marry me?" |
| Honestly I want they win, really. Solid epic episode 5/5. Goro is really the man of this match. If there is a MVP award for tournament, He really should be given that award. But kinda sad. It's a really sad farewell for Goro and he can't play in Kousien ever in his high school time. He is the player that deserved to play there ;__; Thanks for a great match, Shigeno Goro |
 |
| Wow. Leave it up to Gorou to lose in the most ridiculously awesome way possible. That was the best possible outcome to this narrative, I think. I'm satisfied. |
| As frustrating as it may be, this is the only logical outcome and even if Seishu had won that match,now way Gorou could have continued to play the semi and the final after that performance,mad respect to him. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| The fuck else can be said.. just epic.. EPIC. I had a tiny bit of tears welling up in my eyes at the end when Toshi reached a different pitch in his voice we've not heard before and he yelled for Goro to come back stronger when his foot heals up. Just awesome. Mayumura is a monster. You could tell he had something a little more different with his pitches, batting, and demeanor then Goro had. 10 out of 10 episode. |
| Cant hold back my tears. That episode was so fucking good and emotional. To see Goros eyes.. at first full of power, motivation and fury. In the next second it looks like his eyes are showing Goros death. That moment when Goros father motivated Goro again. And that duel against Mayumura was epic aswell. Mayumura by himself sees Goro as his rival. It kinda hurts to see Goro losing after all... but somehow it doesnt feel like a loss. They pushed Kaido to their limits. And I kinda think its better for Goro... to concentrate on his health. To think about how Goro would have played without his injured leg. Oh my god... Had to watch the end of the episodes two times. Finally we were able to see Goros limit. Major did it again. Epic! |
| My only regret is having regrets! |
| I simply cannot understand the praise this is getting. I only find it incredibly stupid that the umpires would let a teenager play with an obvious injury. The absurdity is something I can't overlook no matter how "awesome" a duel may be between pitcher and batter. No amount of roaring and testosterone and "playing for your dreams" or whatever nonsense makes up for this eye rolling ridiculousness of it all. |
 |
| Forgive me, but this is certainly not the best episode of the series so far, nor this season is the best one. But I think I agree that this is the best match so far. |

| exactly as i thought it's the same as the S1 they said it, only that then goro was bearable. i'm glad they didn't made seishuu wins, it made the conclusion for this match better, as goro though to outsmart them couldn't make the win, it's really rising up this season. |
| Seeing Goro fall made my heart drop, this was truly an epic battle between Mayumura and Goro that ended on quite a sad note with that balk. Still glad Kaido won as otherwise it wouldn't make much sense considering the difference in overall team strength and experience. Nonetheless despite the loss its impressive how far Seishu has come (mostly through luck). Still realistically the umpire would've barred Goro from playing and Ichiro even with the best intentions should've called quits |
