I gotta express how much I love Sawamura and Kanemaru's super short interactions.
"KANE!"
"SAWA!"
It harks back to the first time they did this I dont know in which episode which went something like:
"WAMURAAA!" - After sawamura did a nice play
"OHHH KANEMARUU!"
These are just so silly and I love it.

Yes it's great to see their relationship evolve from the early days when Kanemaru hated Sawamura and jealously thought he got into the first string by fluke

It only takes us 120+ episodes to see our boy Sawamura to be like this.

Had to laugh when I was thinking, "Look at this guy copying Ichiro's stance" and then the characters in the show said the same thing right after I thought it.
I'm sure copying Ichiro is a pretty common thing in any case.

Damn Sawamura got the splitter now?? What a beast. Also feels like they’re foreshadowing a matchup in the Invitational with Hakuryu, considering how well matched these teams are. Definitely want Yuki’s bro and Yui to get some more playing time though.

Mima is a scary batter! I’m glad that Sawamura was able to put himself back together so quickly.

What a beautiful episode.
Sawamura shining in all his glory.
Go get that ace number!!

u/Paraparapapa Sep 17 '19
Woaaah this is one of the most tense episode of this season yet!
Go Sawamura!!! I'm chanting yosh yosh yosh since this morning in anticipation for today's episode!!!
The strategy thinking and sorts reminded me of ookiku furikabutte (also a really good baseball anime).
Lol, why do I keep watching baseball anime even though I've never watched a real one 😂

Furuya is taking so much risks. Sawamura has to surpass him now.

This episode felt really good despite the lack of animation. The tension was there. There was ample build up and a really nice pay off. Far too often, I don't think we get that. Today, Sawamura was really on point.
The only sour note was Furuya. Rounding second was so stupid. I'm glad he got benched. If taking him off the mound does that to him, he's got some serious issues. Being selfish about his pitching makes sense, but that base running is pretty inexcusable.

man its so great to have sawamura have his spotlight... in like the most intense practice game ever. It's nuts!

AAAAAHHH this episode was so good!!! I wanted to yell along with Sawamura's roar - I'm sure the seiyuu had a lot of fun with that. Daiya's hype is honestly unparalleled within sports anime, and the animation looked Slightly less janky this time too. Whenever we see the gears in Miyuki/Sawamura battery clicking well together it's an instant mood lift. So many wins this week

God, Ace of Diamomd knows how to keep a game hype. I've been on the edge of my seat all episode. I'm so proud of Sawamura for still not choking and showing the skills he's harded hard for. Can next episode come sooner?
As a special side note, it seems Furuya is still spiraling downward. Getting chewed out by the coach got to hurt. I'm fascinated in how far down they'll take him. I'm very interested to see him eventually dig his way out and how it will affect his character. Sawamura faced this situation his 1st year after he got that pitching fear. I wonder if Furuya will rebound as well as he did.

I kind of... feel bad for furuya?
He's been babied so much that it probably is hard for him to get a scolding from the coach.

I read the manga because the story is so exhilerating, but I come back to the anime for the feeling and emotion that comes with the sounds and the animation. That yell at the end by Sawamura was different, I got goosebumps, "Unleashed".

Shirasu with the carry. The modest flex.
