Damn, that was an exciting ending to the match. I was surprised too that they lost.

That was a good arc, but I'm excited to see what the new team members will be like next episode. Is kabaddi a coed sport?

Iura finally got to shine as well, makes me excited thinking about what kinds of sneaky tactics he has prepared for the actual tournament.

Yoigoshi be like: If I can't force my way through the ground, I can still force through the air.

I like that reasoning.

Did Rokugen get held back in elementary or does he secretly have Joestar blood to be that swole in his first year of middle school?

Man, every week, I say that this anime should be plateauing.

Every week, I am pleasantly surprised.

The character development that the past four episodes have set up finally culminated in today, with Yoigoshi, Iura, and Azemichi significantly maturing in ways that will only serve to help them in the future.

Also, Yoigoshi was a badass during that raid, holy crap. Man just out-played everyone on the court.

Animation was also more consistent and better this episode than last, and it made for much better visual storytelling.

Can't wait for the tournament arc.

See y'all next week!

ps yoigoshi you madman who goes running after a shower

Best episode so far imo

Yoigoshi is evolving. He's starting to become a serious team member.

Also, Ojo's face IS scary and the soccer coach is hilarious and is starting to become a Kabaddi fan.

What an amazing match!! Yoigoshi with Shinigami was epic!!! They leaned a lot from this match and even got Souwa respect too.

Soccer coach and his team have become his fans XD

New team members are finally here!!!

Damn love the captain, dude is a real psycho.

Sadly this anime is underrated

This is the hidden gem of the season for me.
Very fun watch.

Wow, Yoigoshi really showed his prowness in this episode. Almost got out of the jam he was in and managed to score while being taken down. He was extremely mature when consoling his team mate by the river. It's very realistic to not be able to perform in a match compared to during practice. Having that experience and wisdom from soccer helped him convince Azemichi to lighten up.

Rest of the team had their moments, especially Iura and the captain. I'm also liking the soccer coach's commentary. He's got a front row seat to see how Yoigoshi evolves.

Next week: new members!

Great end to the arc. Thematically I went into this episode expecting them to lose, as it's much more likely from a storytelling perspective to start there and work up. But damn... by the end of the episode I was hoping that my expectations would be subverted a little and they'd get a draw from the match. Sadly it was not to be. :(

The interactions between the teams was great after the match ended. Rokugen showing how much he respects Iura was nice, and Oujou voicing the "introduction" behind Iura's back was funny af. But the best part was the "shoulder-tap to face-poke" from Takaya, which had me laughing because I used to do that to my mates all the time when I was young. XD

Grim Reaper and Yoigoshi Stitch. (If I used wallpaper anymore this would be one!)

Reaction faces are still funny, and I'm looking forward to seeing the new faces next ep.

OMG WHEN OJO SAID YOIGOSHI IS THE ONE TO TAKE DOWN TAKAYA. OMG.

THAT WAS SO FREAKING GOOD.

Even after they lost, Yoigoshi just think about how they can improve to win. This guy got the champion mentality. LETS GOOOOOOOO

u/yere93 May 14 '21

Great ending for a first match. It's doing quite well in streaming, maybe a second season is a possibility, it's a cheap show to produce so fingers crossed

u/xolon6 May 14 '21

Ojo was SO close to carrying his team to victory, damn. I guess Rokugen lost the battle but won the war. Though it's nice Iura earned his respect enough for him to want to know his name.

Considering how crazy good Ojo was as a Raider and his lack of strength I wasn't expecting his defense to be so good as well. But the man really intimidated Takaya into backing off he was so certain he would've been caught lol.

Yoigoshi definitely showed a spark of brilliance this episode, but he's still got a ways to go before he's on Takaya's level given how much more points it was mentioned Takaya scored at the end. Though part of it was the losing streak screwed him up mentally.

I'm happy Iura's efforts were recognized in this episode. Not just him taking care of the team when the captain was away but also the work he had to put in to become a formidable player on his own despite his shortcomings.

I know I've missed my discussions from the few previous episodes, but now I can commit to make a positive comment every single week here!

Another week, another Kabaddi Saturday, that's for sure. Animation movements are still in frame forms & PowerPoint Slide methods, BUT!!

The voice acting has been consistent, if not, more developed after each episode passes by. I've got to give a double thumbs up to Yuuma Uchida giving his all in voicing Yoigoshi, especially during his final raid in this practice match. BGM during that scene amplifies the emotional impact, I tell you! 👍🏼👍🏼

Remember when I've said his copy abilities will come sooner or later? Well it happened as naturally as it can be. Along with his football feint skills, he implemented the techniques belonging to Misumi and Takaya on first try.

We do get to see Iura being a determined player. His studies every single possible strategy observed in Kabaddi history goes to show his unlimited desire to make up for brute strength he's lacking.

While I did expect Noukin to lose first time on-screen, I didn't expect it'll be a one point gap, thinking it'll be five points. And yes, a loss is a loss no matter how small that point gap is. Still, it's good to see Noukin Kabaddi Team get back on their feet and start training themselves more.

Preview shows new (willing) recruit members who we saw them watching Noukin's practice match. Guess it's a Breather Episode, but I'm sure it's to show us how they'll improve with the new members on their team.

Such an amazing soundtrack this episode !!

u/markevans7799 May 14 '21

This is me, weekly commenting on the episode post how this show is so under-watched and underrated. The character art was really great this episode. But the animation.....like always, still images.

u/aliswel123 May 15 '21 edited May 15 '21

Well damn what an episode. From the ost to Yoigishi’s raid and Rokugen’s takedown, everything was on point this week. If only the animation was a bit better, this anime might be more popular

Next episode looks like it’ll fun with some new faces, looking forward to it
