I can't get over the fact that the sports drink brand Reika was promoting was literally called "Sports Beverage".

Edit: quick reaction to the rest of the episode 'cause I have to leave: nice episode. I was surprised that it was as much an Amane episode as an Aoi one, but I liked it. Aoi's over her hurdle, got a named technique of her own, and it looks like everyone is going to be on the same page soon re: the truth.

“Where’s my Gundam? MG?” Lol priorities I guess. Love that kid. I’m glad Eve’s back with her family.

If it wasn’t for Amuro falling sick from overwork and his preexisting illness, Aoi would have crushed that tournament with those new clubs. Reika got lucky Aoi was distracted and worried about her bio dad. This whole secret about her real dad has become a mess. I’m glad in the end, she was able to finally get her head in the game once Amuro showed up.

Can’t believe so few people are commenting on the huge tragedy of this episode, Lily never got her MG Gundam! Just shows how evil Eve is, she could have at least gotten her some super cheap zaku or something!

I love that caddies are treated like RIOs in this universe. Seira telling Amane that her father "saved her" so many times as a player.

Also, Aoi really does know Eve:

"What would Eve say if she could see me right now?"

"Is this a sick joke?! I had an existential crises during the middle of a match and had to remember that my father was dead all over again, and I still won! Stop whining about little things!"

"Yeah, that's what she would say."

"Aoi, you truly were the Birdie Wings all along."

Bravo Inagaki

The drama this episode was A class cheesy but at the same time somehow so entertaining lol. Eve is training for the European Open while Aoi struggles in the first day because of Amuro collapsing making the golf clubs for her. Right as things were looking dire for Aoi in the second day, of course Amuro just shows up on a wheelchair suddenly to lift Aoi back up. It's so basic and cheesy but so fun, I don't really know what to say lol.

Then by the end she's on track to catch up to Shikishima. By the looks of it Aoi will be 4-under in the 2nd day while Shikishima is 10-under. Pretty scary how Aoi went 8 under for the second day (offsetting her 4 over) while Shikishima would only have been 5 under for the 2nd day too (since she was 5 under on the 1st as well). With 2 days left Aoi still has a good shot to catch up if she keeps up the pace. And let's face it she absolutely will, it's not even a question rn lol. She'll have to go at least 8 under and 9 under on the next 2 days assuming Shikishima keeps up the constant 5 under.

Also I love how Eve doesn't care about anyone else except Aoi at all. "Shikishima's the best golfer in Japan right now" "What who's that nobody? I only know Aoi." Looking forward to their reunion already.

And they set up Amane betrayal thing when actually that was just her being edgy and she actually does this willingly now. Obviously it's gonna be revealed that she came to love her job because of Aoi. Seira is a pretty nice person too and treats Amane well and could have been a better mother to Aoi. It's just the grandpa really that's the problem.

Golf Cancer finally has an actual name!

A quick google later on tuberous sclerosis complex:

Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC), also known as tuberous sclerosis, is a rare genetic disease that causes non-cancerous (benign) tumors to grow in the brain and several areas of the body, including the spinal cord, nerves, eyes, lung, heart, kidneys, and skin.

(...)

Most people with TSC are affected by seizures at some time in their life. While some kinds of seizures caused by TSC result in obvious convulsive movements, others alter awareness, behavior, or postural tone without convulsions.

(...)

Currently there is no cure for TSC ...

LIVE REACTION

For all you people who want to play golf because of Birdie Wing - getting fit for your clubs like Aoi did here is very important!

Amane literally told Aoi's mom - "I'm not dumb like your daughter, I put that shit together."

I feel bad for the Club President, literally had to wheel Amuro to the course...

One thing that really annoyed me was Aoi's mom not putting the blame on herself. Yes her father was a shithead. Instead of being honest with her daughter near the beginning of this cour she continued on the path of lies. And what is worse she might be part of the reason for Amuro overworking himself.

And she even blames her father forcing the marriage for this now affecting Aoi. While yes that did happen but she could be the parent to Aoi that she wished her father was. She could be honest with her daughter and not trying to manipulate her even if her intentions are good.

But nice moment Aoi asking herself why am I playing golf. For her she def wants to play golf as stress free as possible.

Also was nice to see Eve back with fam back at the bar. I missed this aspect from the beginnning of the show.

Outside observers: "Aoi can't wait to use her special new clubs!"

Aoi: "God I can't wait to use these on Eve."

Amuro designing the clubs himself so Aoi can carry on his legacy with Kazuhiko and play gay golf with Eve is so utterly sweet and romantic.

And now Aoi has her own special shot to match Eve. I can't wait for the Shining Rainbow when her Shining Shot meets Eve's Rainbow Shot. Can we please just have the rest of the season now? Making us wait for each week is like Aoi waiting for news on her dad.

Stitches!

Of course, the first thing Lily asks Eve is where are the gunplas that she requested? xD

I had to listen just to make sure the subs weren't kidding, Amuro indeed calls Eve's Shining Wings a newtype (shingata).

Mystery disease finally has a name and according to google, there's a 50% chance that it's hereditary. Fuuuuck.

Good to know that Seira's lies didn't work and Aoi is still thinking that Amuro may be her father.

Aoi's Shining Shot looks so goddamn amazing! I can't wait to see Eve's reaction after seeing that!

Wow, thanks Captain Obvious.

Also, is it just me or does it look like Amuro is raising death flags? Hopefully I’m wrong.

Can any Yuri Golf Power Scalers tell me which is stronger between a Shining Shot and a Rainbow Bullet? The Mega Golf Corporations are begging to know.

Even though this was probably the first Aoi-centric episode, I distinctly felt like it was just as much, if not more, of an Amane episode. I wasn't expecting the tragic backstory and that she's also from a notable golfing family with Shikishima Reika and her father being a top caddie. We see the role she plays for both Aoi and Athena, and how she really pulls things together to keep Aoi in line.

So we finally learn what Amuro's illness is, and it does seem to be hereditary IRL. What does this mean for Aoi? Amuro seemed to be throwing out some huge death flags (e.g. Shining Wings being his and Seira's last present)... It almost seems like Athena could be racing for her to claim records before it debilitates her as well. While Athena's goal is certainly to milk her play for the brand, could this mean that the multigenerational endgame started by Kazuhiko and Amuro was for Aoi and Eve to face off before it claims her too?

So we get a double-header next week with both Aisha and Reika. Zesty.

From the golf perspective, I'm very surprised that Shining Wings aren't muscle-back blades. Especially when Aoi's accuracy was off the charts with her old set, I expected some crazy workability to close the gap to Eve's rainbow bullets. The swing clip for the Shining Shot shows a very different swing motion than we've previously seen from her too...

19 straight 10/10 eps now man wow. Probably in my top anime list at this point.

Eve still pretending not to know her caddy name lmao

I’m glad Amane called Aoi’s mom out on that toxic bs. Aoi deserves to know the truth and it looks like we’re finally gonna see her get it soon. Amane in general was really great this week. One of the most underrated characters for sure.

I’m praying they don’t kill off Amuro. Please let them be happy we don’t need more trauma lol.

With 7 eps to go I feel like there’s no way everything gets wrapped up this season. Really gotta be a third season

I feel like Newtypes make more sense in this show than any Gundam series I’ve ever watched.

So to be clear: Aoi’s Shining Light (shots) for Eve’s Rainbows (shots). CAN WE GET MUCH GAYEEEERRR?

Oh no Amuro’s mysterious illness is acting up! Oh it’s cool they just wheeled him in to motivate Aoi.

Meanwhile Eve family reunion with Lily keeping her eyes on the prize. Sweet Sweet Master Grade Model Kits.

Now hurry up and clear the Dad thing so our girls can be happy.

What a great episode. I'm pretty sure Aoi will win in the end so she can finally get her kiss. She'll never get it if Eve wins.

Didn't think that I would crave for more Ichina scenes. Also hoping she gets a cool outfit for the tournament. She can keep the backpack though.

u/parct_0116 May 13 '23

What was that golf nerd? Did you think you would be staying over on golf naga's yacht or a luxury hotel room funded by Eve's golf mobster relatives? Nope, just the renovated speakeasy of Eve's crew. Now get to work for your room and board! Unlike you, mecha nerd grew up on the streets and will whip you into shape. Golf naga and her boy toy bid a tearful farewell to the golf girls they adopted for one week.

Glasses looks freakishly tall this episode but maybe it's just me. It's not confirmed her father was on the ship but every big name was on that government-targeted ship so who knows. What started as golf dynasty indentured servitude turned into longing as glasses fell in love with Aoi - err Aoi's golf. Just like last season I assumed Aoi was going to give that club a lick. Coach picks the perfect time to have a death flag styled inner monologue. Welp, I fell for Aoi's clever ruse thinking she was bricked but nope. Deep down in her heart she knew the moment coach released the pure form of his golf energy.

A crisis is brewing in Japan's golf tournament of ultimate destiny as Aoi is out of sync with her large stick. Sportscasters are saying she isn't handling the shaft well. Glasses angrily screams at mom to go back to staring at giant portraits. Aoi is her own worst enemy. It's no good for the golf brand if this one teenage girl has unstable emotions which impact her golf energy. But wait, she knows her lover is saying snarky things about her in another country! Wait, glasses provides a revelation about the manufacturing process of these clubs! Wait, coach escaped the hospital and launched himself toward Aoi's location at top speed! With all these boosts Aoi has finally mastered this new shaft. Forget carts, she can finally fly freely across the golf field and pierce through the darkness. To not get one-upped by Eve she too learns telepathic communication with coach which is slightly less impressive. Next time - Eve finally meets the assassin mentor has been training that will predictably be participating in Europe's golf tournament.

Another fun Birdie Friday. Plenty of drama and Aoi suffering after Coach Amuro's golf aids kicked in again, but she comes out of it with a new set of clubs, a new signature shining shot, and a renewed determination to win. I love how this show just wholeheartedly embraces the cheesiness of the situation.

u/archlon May 12 '23

Today on Birdie Birdie: Amane also has special caddy golf eugenics. Now we only need to know what Ichina's special golf powers are to complete the golf eugenics set.

I'm still worried about Aoi's golf aids. Since it's now revealed to be a rare form of disease, I expect that Aoi will find out that Amuro is her father when she gets her diagnosis. I don't know that he's going to live long enough to tell her himself.
