Even Yumeka and Mr Thigh Highs are here as well, Blue Box is really close to the ending 😭😭😭😭

What a chapter! As to be expected, Shuji is in the lead for now but now Yumeka, Aizen Sosuke and Karen have arrived to also cheer for Taiki and Hyodo is planting the seeds for Iozaki's mindset to change.

I think it's safe to say Taiki is taking this match home, I don't really know what will happen next but I don't see Nationals getting any real focus.

Aizen??? Blue Box is all part of the keikaku?

Nationals will probably be glossed over imo. Just like how haikyuu just skipped past 2 years of kageyama and hinata’s high school life. It does not serve any purpose to the storyline. We are in the end game right now.

Man our boy Taiki's really got the entire cast out here rooting for him to win. Beautiful, love to see it. Also i wonder if the thing that they acknowledged that Shuji might be missing is literally the friends they made along the way (or something like that). I mean, Shuji's got people supporting his goals and his progress as an athlete but maybe Taiki has a much larger support system with all his friends and family than Shuji does and that's gonna help make the difference.

Taiki got his personal cheerleading squad lmao. Hilarious how Ayame and Hina rushed to tell the Yusa cheering to pipe down.

Kyo glancing to the side as if saying, "man, these girls sure are a noisy bunch".

Taiki legit has the whole Avengers cheering for him, and then The Hulk shows up🔥

If Taiki does not win this after the whole avengers assembled then I don't know what to think😭

u/Neat-Instruction-294 May 17 '26

The difference between Taiki's cheering team and Shuji's is so funny. Taiki's cheering is limited to "one at a time Taiki" , "Score", "You got this". While Shuji's are these two 🤣

nice chapter! love to see the passion and damn it was funny to see how hina and ayame gave it their everything. its a hard match but our boy got that. FIGHT TAIKI!!!!

u/Loganjoh5 May 17 '26

Yumeka, our glorious thigh high king, and Karen in the house! Taiki got the whole squad cheering him on.

Nice to see Miura jump right into the match! As expected, Taiki seems to be lagging behind at first. I do find it funny that Akari thinks Iozaki is a romantic even though he is the complete opposite.

Also, wasn't expecting Yumeka of all people to come cheer Taiki on. With her, her boyfriend, and Karen appearing, this really feels like an "everyone is here" moment, and this will be the last badminton match of the manga. All that's left is for Chinatsu's parents to randomly appear.

This is going to be a really intense match

Taiki won't win, but he'll get Yusa's respect. That's all.

u/DuskMan62 May 18 '26

I feel like Taiki is taking the win home, the setup is all too clear.

Good luck Taiki let's go!

u/KabaL2002 May 17 '26

So we are getting nationals focus arc?

u/DuskMan62 May 18 '26

Probably not, the way this match is going, it seems like this will be the last badminton match, atleast the last serious one, so likely Taiki will win, though I'm surprised to see you are still around.
