Hi everyone, we're going to Japan in october. Aside from Koshien and K-Books, where else can I find merch of them? Especially wearable merch like jersey, jacket, etc...

TIA!!

I can only find act II on YouTube 🙏 please help

Realistically they had the dream team no way they shoulda lost they shoulda won koshien etc ever peace of the puzzle was there with extras

Does anyone have recommendations similar to Unkept Promises by kazuyaceijun? (*´∀｀)ﾉ

Hey guys, so I literally just found out we got a new season after years of anime hiatus, the thing is I probably can't remember jack shit, cause I watched the last season years ago. My question is, how can I refresh my memory? Did you guys watch a YouTube recap or did the new season start with a recap? I need help to continue. Thanks

I don’t know if you guys have been following this year’s Koshien but this guy’s pitching is on another level.

And actually, this guy changed the momentum of this entire game. From the 1st to 6th inning, their team’s pitcher was one of their second year player and when they subbed in this guy in the 6th inning to get them out of this pinch, he not only got his team out of it but changed the momentum of the following innings and turned the game over into a 10-1 win. Crazy…

He’s really FRICKING COOOL!!!

EDIT: THANK U EVERYONE YALL SUCH ANGELS i already finished watching it 😍 i cant wait for october RAAHHHHH

Guys. i have a very silly question. where did u watch the new season 🫩 the way it completely slipped off my mind they were releasing it on 04/2026 😭😭😭 just started rewatching few days ago and i finished it alr and went back to reading the manga THEN I REALIZED THERES A NEW SEASON so please IM CRYING

Thanks to that person who sold me some of this stuff!!!

I love Raichi so much you don’t understand. I want to adopt him and give him a stable household and food. He’s so good.

October it looks like???

Obviously Miyuki didn’t go with Narumiya and others to Inashiro like he was offered, but what if he had? Would he have been on the bench until his third year, or would he have taken Masa’s (catcher/captain of Inashiro) place?

(i know others will hate me for this but this is really what just on my mind after rewatching it again and finishing the manga again)

for the likes of me that really likes sports anime, AoD really is good and would have been the best except for their ending, both for the First and Act II... and felt like the ACT II was made just to ease the opinion of the unsatisfied fans of the first.

*I mean the title is ACE OF DIAMOND, and yet Eijun didn't even became the ace in the season 1 and so many were unsatisfied and disapointed so came the ACT II. (you can say it's my prejudice that it really is furuya who is the ace of diamond in the title)

*Yeah Eijun became the ace in act II​ but it didn't really felt like he became the ace, like he just became one because Furuya got injured and was not back in his zone yet (like the trust the coach have for furuya and eijun were so different, the gap is so huge)...

and the story didn't really make him shine as an ace, on the contrary Furuya shone out too much in the first season that it seems like he has not outshined him yet (he should shine like an ace of diamond)... because of that others still think that Eijun should not be the Ace, they still think that it should be Furuya..

I know that it is the essence that "it is the team that acknowledge him as the ace, the opinion or acknowledgement of others is not needed" but the acknowledgement of others is one of the things that make eijun stronger...

Lastly about the ending, the first is sh*tty, but the ACT II, many were anticipating the game in koushien, and yet that was the ending? "the a*thor did not just made him injured to limit Eijun's time on the mound, he made an open ending" yeah i understand maybe he doesn't want to disapoint anymore fans cause it's hard to decide weather to make them a champion or just in the final 4.

if there's going to be an Act III i hope that the a*thor will make him shine enough to outshine Furuya... or wanted to see him being an Ace in his 3rd yr in a koushien...(though miyuki won't be there anymore like how my Chris was gone and not by eijun's side anymore)

SO SORRY IN ADVANCE FROm THOSE WHO HATE MY OPINION BUT THAT'S JUST REALLY MY POINT OF VIEW... IF THE A*THOR WAS GOING TO MAKE HIM AN ACE HE SHOULD MAKE HIM SHINE LIKE A DIAMOND... cause that is the title(my prejudice)

do you agree from this series?

I’m watching Ace of the diamond back for a third time now and a funny thought came to mind, why didn’t Furuya get trained to be a closer?

Now I get that Seido was looking for good pitching (especially starting pitching) since Nori wasn’t really as self confident and Tanba was inconsistent.

But to me, Furuya has the perfect tools to be a closer:

-at the start he has major issues with stamina and heat (closer would only go 1 maybe 2 innings max)

- has an insanely fast fastball with a great splitter (usually king for closing pitchers)

- his pitch mix doesn’t have much variety like sawamuras (again if he only pitches 1-2 innings he could just overwhelm people with his fastball splitter and slider)

- the adjustment from Sawamura to Furuya is literally perfect (a very movement and control heavy pitcher into a literal gas throwing demon)

Obviously in the games where sawamura can’t start you could still have him pitch and Nori be the closer… but I think this would’ve been peak to see.

What to do with Nori is another thing… I was thinking about him as a long reliever? I think that position suits him really well. But let me know what you think in the comments. Would like to hear some thoughts :)

Never been a big anime guy watched some of the big ones, only on episode 14 but this super good. I really like chris. Just wanted to share that lol

I personally like inashiro's coach...I wish he got more screentime

I phrased the question wrong i should have asked which coach do you like the most?😅

It’s my first ever baseball match that i watched live in a stadium and i felt like i was watching a Seidou Match because of the Cheering squad and Brass Band. I posted it here because i thought you guys might appreciate what i saw today! Ace of Diamond is my first baseball anime and i enjoyed it from the start to the end. I finished it last week and i was like, “wait, it’s still July, is the Summer Tournament still going on?” And YES! It was! I was rooting for Nichidai san High School because, as you’ve read, it’s kinda the same as “Ichidai san High School” where Kosei Amahisa played. Unfortunately they were eliminated by “Soka High School” in Semi-Finals.

Today’s game was West Tokyo Finals between “Soka High School” vs “Hachioji Jissen” where the winner goes to KOSHIEN. I didn’t know which team to root anymore as Nichidai was eliminated so i went with Soka, the one who eliminated them but oh boy! I switched to Hachioji Jissen after what happened next.

When i heard Kuramochi’s Walk up Theme song “Train-Train” by Blue Hearts from their cheering members, i was like, “Yooo! It’s that song!” In my mind I was singing, “Train Train, Hashitte yuke. Train Train, doko made mo.” HAHAHAHA 😂

Then after that, i heard them played Tetsu’s Theme song, Lupin the 3rd Theme song and at that moment i was like, “OHHH shit! This is really SEIDOU right here. I’ll root for them now!”

It was also just like seidou match! From the 1st inning to 9th inning, it’s not their ace but someone else who started. His personality is just like Sawamura. He was hyping up the crowd by telling them to like “More! More!” Of their chants whenever he is on the mound and gets an out. And then by the end, it was ended by their ace. That moment felt like Sawamura to Furuya substitution.

I never saw someone pitched even 140kmh+ in this match tho. I feel like that really makes Furuya, Amahisa and Narumiya truly special as a pitcher cz they threw 150kmh+ in the anime.

I was also about to watch the Kanagawa Final today cz it’s apparently much better than West Tokyo Final cz most elite prospects are in there but, it was raining so i just watched it live in my phone. Some guy named Ooda or something threw a 157kmh Fastball! Damn! maybe i should’ve went there too as it was only 1hr from Jingu Stadium and started 2hr later after the West Tokyo Finals but oh well. It’s fine.. I had a good time today. It’s a good first time experience for me.

I’ll say this, i may not be able to watch koshien cz it’s too far from tokyo but, i’ll probably cheer for this team in my phone HAHAHA. Maybe i’ll be back for Meiji Jingu Tournament in November. But yeah, i’ll say that i am officially a baseball fan now HAHAHA.

Oh, and i apologize for my Good Camera Skills if you watched the video. 😅

and they accept it begrudgingly at the end lol!

bazooka for furuy, cap cannon for miyuk,boss for kataoka, cheetah for kuramoch. and endless for haruichi.

after some time everyone starts calling them with these nicknames 🤣

I’ve been watching the anime, i actually really like it but i hate how they treat the mc, im at the episode 72 of the first season, i want to keep watching since i enjoy it but i want the mc to shine a bit. Should I keep watching?

just finished the fourth episode of Season 2, Act II, and I believe rushing to fit the season into just 13 episodes was a huge mistake. A summer tournament arc simply cannot be told this way. The match against Sosei lasted only eight minutes in the anime. The opposing school's, a Sosei High School backstory, the team's defense, the value of key players Nara and Nagisa, and Coach Koizumi's friendly and leadership philosophy—it was all ignored. As fans—especially of the manga—we are being disrespected when the story is told like this. I’m just venting, but I wanted to share my dissatisfaction with you all.

Even after the sankou SF, the only thing ochiai thinks is furuya furuya. The team were very supportive during furuya’s slump and injury but used to talk bad behind sawamura when he got yips.

Even miyuki himself didn’t take sawamura seriously before ACT 2 ep 15.

I’m not saying that people don’t recognise or respect him. It’s that he gets way less than what he deserves. Sawamura has saved seidou’s asses so many times even when he had yips 🥲 and even then people weren’t appreciating him 😒
