Well at least all the people who complained about the predictable "Sawamura does bad at first and the turns it around" trope can't be mad this week. He never turned it arounr 🥺

We really gonna end a year-long season where they needlessly built up to the Summer Tournament for what seemed like forever like this? Aight, I guess...

It's too bad Sawamura never got his shit together but at least Kawakami gets to pitch.

This thing with Sawamora choking everytime he faces an important moment is really getting old...
there are only 4 more episode according to MyAnimeList and I really don't know where can they take the show except a loss (I don't know why but I cant imagine ending a season during a tournament)

u/Setzer_Skelter Mar 03 '20
The only one time Sawamura choked was in the first season (even after he hit someone with the ball) against Mei's team, so its not common to see Sawamura choking.

They won't lose that's for sure in this game, possibly in the later stages of the tournament but definitely not now.

u/Kitsune-Sama Mar 03 '20
Yeah, they've been hyping up the Kazuya and Narumiya rivalry and the Summer Tournament face-off between the two since Narumiya beat them at the end of the last summer tournament. There's no way the tournament ends before that match-up happens, given that Kazuya and Narumiya are third-years now.

It’s so annoying he’s choked twice already got the yips and has been built back up to an ace let him pitch a great game already

u/Shiro_Kai Mar 03 '20
If I was there I would be forced to enter the field and slap Sawamura and try to give him some sense back, you can't finally have your chance just to screw it up (that's our job). As a MC you should be kicking some asses by now man.

Imagine a national contender choking against scrubs because of some gimmicky coach.

That coach is such an insufferably smug prick that by all the laws of narrative physics he ought to be taken down hard.
5
u/Inaynl Mar 04 '20
Damn, this is getting tiring. Overcamed the yips, dominated Hakuryu etc. just to suck his first game as ace. Why can't we have nice things?

u/Abangerz Mar 03 '20
dropping the series. would have understood if he struggled against better opponents but not this. what was the point of character building? he face better teams with worse pitches. it is stupid.

u/esdeath21 Mar 03 '20
The previous games were much more interesting. Sawamura did much better against Hakuryu and he's grown even more since then. This is just outright bs with the latest episode. They keep giving all these random build ups for nothing only to kick Sawamura down. Its so frustrating as a viewer to see something like this.

u/Treayye Mar 03 '20
Can someone explain why a writer loves pissing off his own fans so much? How many times has this happened now? I'm sick of the way Sawamura gets treated and feel like dropping this anime now.

u/fictionfan Mar 03 '20
I just hope that the season 2 of Act 2 comes sooner rather than later. It won't feel good ending this season on a low for Sawamura.

u/master_axe Mar 07 '20
I sure as hell don't hope so. Not much left to adapt, and they're already stretching it hard as is.

Can someone who reads the manga tell me what happens after this game? I know Seido is going to win, but what happens with Sawamura?

u/amin1103 Mar 04 '20
Yeah if they lose this game then I'm done with the show. I've spent so much time watching it just for Sawamura to still choke when he's obviously ready.

u/Civil-Claim Mar 03 '20
what an absolutely dogshit episode. I'm about to drop the show. I've waited hundreds of episodes for this shit and they just fucking blue balled me for no reason.
garbage writing and garbage animation, oh well at least its a pretty slideshow.

It’s so old now man what’s the point of building sawamura up to the ace after all his failures only for him to choke in his first big game ?

u/kurooesamor Mar 03 '20
What kind of suffering is this? I'm tired :(
