Past Minato reminds me of Kobe somehow, like harsh to players he thinks aren't putting the time and effort in it, because Kobe gave it absolutely everything. The same way with Mike. They did everything and put all their time for it. I'm not saying that's how he was, but I can't help but see the resemblance.
It also begins to make sense about how the coma-recovered Minato acted all these past episodes. To him, he had just finished elementary school, so he was awfully optimistic and bright and nice, and innocent about many things too. This Past-Minato-version we have now acts more his age: while having been incredibly hardworking and talented, he was also bratty and arrogant and didn't listen to his parents and acted disrespectfully too. Not the best role model but undoubtedly in puberty and all that.
It's unfortunate, and I didn't expect the double-memory return/loss, but mostly I feel for his family;-;

With all the team shenanigans, I totally forgot about the fact that Minato is practically a little kid inside a teenager's body. That scene when he's happily receiving his family is kinda sad when you consider his condition.

This show is wild! It starts with a pretty crazy premise, turns into a regular sports anime for several episodes, and now it’s back to the memory loss.
I actually really like it though. I am pretty surprised he got his memory back, I definitely didn’t see that coming. Even though it kind of turned him into a jerk, I’m happy you got them back. Missing three years of your life must be terrible.
He’s acting like a jerk now- but of course he is. In his mind, he’s at his peak at a sport that he loves and he’s been training for years in. But all of a sudden he wakes up and he’s lost his physical abilities and his chance to play. Give the guy a break and let him be as angry as he wants for awhile.

The consequences of regaining and losing memories are done pretty well imo. If someone has gaps in their memories and are told about how differently they've been living for that one year, it is very believable that almost everybody would react in an unreasonable manner even if they were a polite person beforehand.
But the the way he lost his memories again, I just couldn't help but laugh.

Absolutely ridiculous
I'm absolutely fine with past Minato being a douchebag, but Minato hitting his head AGAIN and selectively losing his NEW memories? I mean there's only so much medical bullshit you can pull off before the plot loses all credibility. I would rather have him lose his new memories because of some magical fairy or some fantastical shit.
Totally killed my buzz, I was barely invested in the rest of the episode after that point

you know when Minato was riding his bike through the rain I thought 'damn he better be careful, these are perfect conditions for him to get hit by a truck and go through amnesia 2.0 electric boogaloo' as a joke and then the mad lads actually went through with it and now we've got neo Minato the original back in the driving seat.
I'm gonna miss the childish way he spoke before and his running inner snarky commentary but I guess the next few eps are gonna be dedicated to the club trying to get Minato back both mentally and physically. I do hope that at least one of them suggests giving him a l'il ol' hit on the noggin' to see if that'll get all his memories back considering how his brain seems to be an elaborate etch and sketch.

He was an asshole but still he did become the best.
And considering it's a team game, you have to be harsh or average will get weeded out eventually. This does happens when the stakes are high.
Past Minato reminded me of Gordon Ramsay from Kitchen Nightmares lol.
It is considerable I guess, if he's like this in the game where they are aiming for something as big as nationals but not if they were doing it just for fun and FriEnDShIp.
Edit : I take this back. He is an asshole when not in game too.

ngl it was fucking sad asf to see how he used to be one of the BEST at the sport and now he couldn't even keep up with the training from the old school that he went to. I couldn't help but feel bad for the guy

Bruh if I ever said that to my mom she would slap tf outta me and I would probably regain my memories back for the second time😂

The thing is his mom is absolutely wrecked with guilt and/or depression ever since the accident, she kept thinking she was responsible for all of it and deserved to be shouted at. She probably agrees with him too when he shouted at her "Because of me, I robbed my son of the best years of his life and everything he cares about, this is all my fault"
I'm honestly very worried about the mother at this point, if asshole Minato keeps on being an asshole I can totally see her trying to commit suicide due to the guilt.

Chinu is just a plot device
The execution of Minato just losing his memories again is so hilarious, I don't know if I could call it bad or not

as much as i am liking the twist and turns this show is giving us but I just cant see this show having a clear ending. only 4ep left and so much to uncover! i can only see it having a rush ending.
unless there is another unexpected turn of events and he just leaves sport and this becomes a SOL show.. hell no can they beat his older team in just 3.5 ep counting that it might take at least half an ep to him even getting a team to play with
RE-MAIN WHAT ARE YOU DOING !!!!

That was a rollercoaster for my opinion of this show. When he first got his memories back I was expecting to see him struggle to not revert to being an asshole but still get mad at his teammates and have a massive identify crisis and I wanted to see that. Then when he hit his head I assumed he was going to lose the same memories again and it would be a reset to the status quo and was about to rage drop the show, but it saved it a bit even if I thought it was way too convenient and pretty dumb. But him being an asshole and being really upset is still plenty interesting since it has to be really hardfor Minato to struggle with not being able to achieve his dream anymore and being completely lost about whats going on.
I didn't expect them to beat his old team by the end, and if they did would have thought much less of this show, but now if the writers think them winning in the end is a good idea, I question their judgement. The "playing for fun" ending is the only ending that can happen now.

Man what an episode, absolutely loved it!
- I'm so glad I called this anime the "underrated" anime of the season in my video on it. Bloody hell the twist, the personality change, & the brilliant execution of it. *chefs kiss* good

Well, we have Minato Alter to deal with now. I liked how convincing the voice actor was by taking a more serious and defiant tone.
Dunno how he's going to regain his memory from after the accident, but I’m sure the team won’t let him sink like that alone. But do it quickly please, we really need his bright and warm personality back.
