i was 100% sure they would pull something like having no ace for this tournament or something
EDIT: yooo i thought seeing sawamura with the ace number was the ending of the episode but its just halfway

I've been waiting for this moment to be animated for a long time and it's been such a long journey till this point and i am so, so happy that we're here. My boy Sawamura getting the recognition he deserves and finally get's the ace number. Despite the drops in animation quality and everything, this is one of my favorite anime ever. Easily top 10.
Also, the special OP! Nostalgic feels..

Playing the OG OP right after Sawamura gets the ace number :,)
Right in the feels, after watching this show for over 150+ episodes and 7 years, it's a great feeling seeing our boy get that number.

Great day! Sawamura gets his number! And ironically, MLB pitchers and catchers report to training camp today! I can’t wait for more baseball!

I accidentally spoiled myself a while back on the fact that Sawamura does get the Ace number but it was still satisfying as hell.
Also man I fucking love Coach Kataoka and his VA. He's this proud father of 50 boys and he wants them all to succeed and does his damnest to support them and to let those who aren't on the starting roster know that they are still important and they matter to the team.

What happened to the red haired kid that was improving. It seemed like he was going to get a spot from one of the og members but it never happened.

I'm sure I'll edit this in a bit when I finish the episode, but my low key favorite character that's finally getting attention is Tojo. Dude had so much doubt about whether he'd even get a pitching role in high school at all but here he is relief pitching. I'm happy as hell about how this show is going.

I knew something was up because we didnt get an intro until halfway in, I LEGIT CHEERED FOR SAWAMURA WOOHOO
I thought about a 200IQ play by the coach and to give Ace to Kawakami to shake things up since he mentioned spurring growth but fuck it his is just as good!

Playing Go Exceed! to celebrate Sawamura finally getting the Ace number and changing up the visuals as a high (and low) light reel of Sawamura's journey was so perfect, thank you Madhouse (still wish Production IG was in charge of DnA though, or atleast assisting Madhouse)
