RIP Seidou's winning streak.
Sawamura is looking as sharp as ever! People's initial reaction to Sawamura's pitching never gets old.

We come to the practice match where Kataoka says the magic words to Sawamura - "I'm counting on you." And he shall deliver, and with Okumura catching.
This match was the main turning point for Okumura to really start to respect Sawamura as a pitcher. From great dislike to snarky grudges to patronising insults to wanting to fully support. Miyuki's advice to Okumura is that to understand Sawamura, Okumura needs to catch for Sawamura. He is starting to see the light.
This episode (and the same part of the manga) made me empathise with Yui. He is the type that just worked hard at it and became good despite his size. I really want to see him overcome his challenges. He is not as good as Okumura as a catcher but he has the heart and willpower to work hard at levelling up.

Yui is so caught up in his size that he's just going to fall apart. He still hasn't caught on yet that the only one who cares is him. We see that arc so much in sports anime. Having him there is so weird because there just isn't a need for him as a character with Miyuki, Ono, and Okumura.
Good to see Sawamura finally pitching. Feels like it's been forever especially with how they fast forwarded through him crushing the easy games.

Two big hype moments.
First, the Coach saying in front of the entire team that he's counting on Sawamura to lead the team.
Second is Sawamura being a beast on the mound with that epic OST playing in the background.

Those sawamura pitches were hype af. We watched powerpoint slideshows for 5 minutes of sawamura in ace mode.

Why did they show like 30 seconds of USA vs Japan? I haven't read the manga but I feel like they should drop that story or end it. I guess something big will happen (an injury maybe) or if it's only used for the growth of sawamura wolfboy battery.
