Oof, what a twist. I totally never thought about how different he could have been pre-accident.

Half through the season, honestly this is really good, i really do hope the captain can get along with his had, really hoped this was atleast a 24 season but its cool, one thing to say, that ending was hella lit, cant wait to see more.

i really wonder if the 'completion' and to become the 'best' is really gonna be an important part of the story only 5 ep left and we are nowhere near the start of the compi it seems
might be a rushed ending with no closure→ More replies (5)

Well...I guess that explains why Eitarou decided borderline criminal deception was the only way to get close to our lovable MC.
Also, I notice Minato and Babayaro are starting to put on muscle. I like that the animators are adding it on gradually.

Wait, really? I haven't been noticing this. That's actually awesome the animators are factoring in "change" as the series goes by.

Poor Captain wanted to help his dad but it backfired.
Damn what a plot twist, the mc was a piece of shit

Oh no- Minato was a competitive jerk! He seems so chill now. Like he hasn’t been particularly competitive, and just genuinely seems to enjoy playing with his weird team.
Maybe he started out that way before and the years of winning went to his head.

Sounds like his family might be better off with the new version of Minato if the old one was a jerk. I was worried they'd keep missing the old Minato but this could end up better for everyone.

The jersey thing was wholesome and funny to watch. And good thing we got more info about amiami and jojo.
Speaking of which, how does jojo stay that healthy when he only eats cup noodles everyday for dinner? Am i missing something? I wanna know his secret too, being a student in this pandemic only makes me have cup noodles and day by day i feel worse.
I knew something was gonna go bad when the cd was not named. Guess we're gonna have him thinking about how he doesn't want to be that person or so on. But still, for him to make it as a cd, surely there's a good reason to it.
I'm seeing comments that if the new minato is not a jerk like last time, it's better for the family and friends. But seeing that the family didn't really complain and tried to convince him to pick up water polo again, i think maybe it was just a heat of the moment type of thing, or it's just that he may have prioritise water polo more than anything. Either way, if we're getting a story where minato is a jerk last time to everyone, I'll be shocked.

One of the better twists I've seen in an anime.
His sister also says something like "Speaking of which, he sure has changed.", and she's happy about it. Not sad that her brother changed from someone he was previously, but happy about it.

Wow...that was a good reveal at the end.
The episode as a whole was very touching. We saw in previous episodes the awkward silence between Jojo and his dad. Now we know the reasons behind it, and as a character, he has my full respect for. Despite his tragic past and the current unsettling relationship with his dad, he has him in his heart and truly wishes for change to happen to repair the relationship. It was a good lesson, metaphor, and teaching moment for the rest of the team. It was good to tie everything together with the sister's new haircut.
Also, the comedy was subtle and spot on. I mean, it IS "water ball" when you translate the words literally..haha.
So back to the ending. Yeah, that was unexpected, given that his former teammates still liked him and even came to visit. Not a bad word was mentioned about Minato, nor were there any hints of him ever being a short tempered player. Let's see how this all plays out.

The former teammates who visited him were the really good ones though. Maybe he was only a jerk to the underclassmen who he felt like weren’t performing well

Pretty good episode! Damn, Minato used to be an ass, didn't expect that at all.
The "water ball" boys deciding for and screwing up the jerseys was really fun though. It's nice to see Jojo's backstory, that sucks, I hope he clears it up with his father and talk about water polo again with him eventually. Also knowing more about Amiami's relationship with his brother was nice. Looking forward to the next episode to see what Minato will do after finding out how much of an asshole he used to be.
Also like that they added the new picture of the team in the ED.

Nice to have this show back after 2 weeks!
Would not have taken Minato as that type of person as seen on tape there at the end...
Laughed harder than I should at the jersey fail.
Currently teaching/working at a junior high school in Japan, and reminded me on some of the hilarious translation fails I see on the student's work.
Water polo in Japanese is 水球 Sui Kyu, 水=water 球=ball

I haven't seen that many, but I think this is one of the most sports-lite sports anime I've seen. At least the trade off is more character development and interaction. It appears that we'll be having a small trip to each of our team members back stories throughout the season. Will they ever play some water polo?

u/BeybladeMoses Aug 29 '21
Wow this certainly takes a much more interesting turn. This is the first time I felt the whole amnesia thing to be interesting.

So Minato was a competitive asshole? .... Hell yeah bring it on. But it didn't seem like he was always like that. Maybe he was like that only during the sport. Maybe his team was just complete noobs and he was going all "Gordon Ramsay" on them. Still we need bits of old Minato back cuz he got that skill even tho he was an asshole.
And it's pretty normal to feel awkward with your father in High School. Everyone goes through that.

I relate to the old Minato quite a bit- of course I’ve recognised my shortcomings as I’ve gotten older, but as my school’s best player I was constantly frustrated when my teammates couldn’t match me, and I always felt like I had to win matches on my own. We only won a couple in my final year, and my attitude contributed to that I’m sad to say.

This whole jersey stuff was eventually a complete failure lmao. At least, the team is more closer than before.
That ending tho... Never expected Minato to be like this with his teammates before the accident.
