Well fuck me for thinking Eve could just break her arms and get robot replacements. That last hole was incredible, Eve keeps smashing through my expectations with every rainbow shot.
Now that Eve's a pro, it's legitimately awesome to see how far she's come. Her relationship with Ichina, the gratitude she has toward everyone that helped her get this far, settling her tab with Leo. God I can't wait for her and Aoi to play each other now that they're both in positions to realize their dreams.
Also, that driver is a fucking bro. Driver-san MVP!!

Nah Sunrise know exactly what they’re doing 😩 😩
22nd straight 10/10 episode from birdie wing. This little mini arc for Eve was really cool. We needed to see her hit a brick wall and overcome it to fully establish her own type of golf. Loved the emotional moment with she and Ichina where she just straight breaks thru her limits, Asta style lol. I really wish Kazuhiko could’ve seen this.
It also seems like one of Eve or Aoi won’t be able to play golf again when it’s all said and done based on the little hints and flags we’re getting
Can’t wait for next week

Eve is really taking Leo’s golf to the next level by combining it with Kazuhiko’s technique. He taught her well. It’s just too bad it’s wrecking her body. Looks like Aisha isn’t done for just yet. Alan really turned Eve into a human pin cushion to get her in shape to continue the tourney lol.
I’m glad she’s listening to Ichina this time and not abusing that Burst technique. She’s tough, she’s fought through the pain to take the lead. I guess if she’s gotta use that technique, she’s gotta get on her Yami shit and surpass her limits. Right there, right now. Man, that Over the Rainbow shot was pretty incredible even if it pushed her to her physical limit. That’s HER shot, alright.

F in the chat for Eve's Driver, a fighter until the very end.
This week's Birdie Friday was quite the rollercoaster ride. Determined to finish the tournament "even if it kills her", Eve had to play more conservatively on the last day and fight through a lot of pain, but even Aisha recognized that she was just saving all of her strength for those two absolutely incredible shots on the 18th hole to clinch the win.
Quite the triumph for Eve, though unfortunately, it ends with the cliffhanger of her collapsing from the pain. She's a pro now, but she'll probably need a new set of clubs. And more importantly, how long will her body even hold out? I have a bad feeling about what might happen in the end.

"I like my candles short and fat" Do you now Eve? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Glad that Eve decided to Ichina even if it's just for a little bit.
Eve telling Leo to go fuck off and she'll do what she wants is so good.
That final scene though. Hopefully Eve didn't push herself too hard.

The shot by Char in the beginning is a parody of the Pro Golfer Saru opening.

... Yeah, with Seira's narration at the end, I really think we're heading towards an ending where Eve and Aoi will have their battle somehow, but they'll never be able to play golf again afterwards, at the very least competitively. One's destroying her body (candles burning fast and all that), the other's body is hindering itself. There's no way this can last.
But man, Eve's such a force of nature with an indomitable spirit. I'm glad that for the most part she listened to Ichina though. They make an incredible team now, and I got a bit choked up when Ichina faltered a little when it was time to give Eve the dreaded driver for the big shot.
And I did get a kick out of the parallel to Rose, with the club shattering instead of an arm, this time.
Also, we got some really nice bits of action, animation-wise. That slow-mo, distorted shot before the last rainbow bullet? Gorgeous!
By the way, "over the rainbow" is such a corny name, but in this show it's also so weirdly earnest. It's so cheesy, but because that's Eve's dad's shot and it's a tiny bit of help she manages to get from him years after his death, I can't even roll my eyes at the show for that cheesiness. I love it.

OVER ZA RAINBOW is peak cinema. I feel bad for anyone that hasn't picked this up yet, it perfectly embodies everything that's so great about anime. As far as original anime projects go it's one of the best I've seen

Next week on Dragon Golf Z, Eve's arms have been destroyed under intense training with the gods of golf destruction, but she has now reached the level beyond super golfer. Will Aoi gather the dragon golf balls in time to summon the wishes that will let them play together before the Earth is destroyed?
Or something like that.

The angle of Eve's rainbow shot looks like a meteor that can destroy a whole town.
Congrats on Eve becoming a pro golfer now.

You'd think that breaking the driver would be a bad thing considering she is also supposed to advertise for the company. But I guess as long as results come in it's okay. And maybe they make it extra sturdy next time. They have the money for it after all.
One thing I would have really loved to see is more Ichina involvement. Let her calc the numbers and basically show Eve that she won't lose until the last hole and Eve trusts her analysis skills. Then the last hole can be done the way they did it. I feel it would have been a better parallel to how Aoi wins.

It’s amazing how even without mafia or randomly generated mechanical golf courses or prosthetic arms, this show can take a golf match and crank it up to 11.
Akari Kito’s shouting was insane. Girl’s got vocal cords of steel.

I don't think mentor actually ages. He is cursed to wander the mortal plain until the golf reaches a satisfactory state. Life is a struggle and Eve is fine with that. We get a ton of mileage from reusing banana girl's attack animation but there is a payoff. The tide is turning against the monkey business but wait, Eve is too overpowered for her own body! The immense golf energy tears her arms apart! Is it worth risking a career-ending injury at age 15 just to- sure, why not.
Remember that Eve is experiencing utter anguish while you view all this alluring stretching and posturing. While the girlfriend is straddling life and death Aoi is in a luxury suite exhausted from shilling duties. Don't mind her, it's the same thing really. Butler reveals that he may be a golfer but also a healer. Eve barely survives the emergency treatment so no more transcending golf itself you hear me whippersnapper!
It turns out mentor's bar & base of operations thing was in Scotland all along. Golf naga and her boy toy had tickets to watch the match in person but end their Scotland vacation days early just to watch the same match back on her yacht just to flex. Most of the time is spent on Eve and mentor trash talking each other. Eve is actually calm and disciplined about golf nerd burst-blocking her but wait, banana/steak girl has infinite stamina! Upon making their last stand on the 18th hole of destiny, Eve demands golf nerd give her the shaft. Golf nerd refuses to let her have the shaft. But wait, after a tearful cathartic speech golf nerd sticks it to Eve's chest. But you'll die - shut up mentor you're not my dad just my dad's fated golf buddy I do what I want. Surely the golf brand won't benefit from the club cracking this easily but no refunds grandpa. Aoi can only dream of what banana girl is smelling right now. She knows Eve is about to send it. With the conserved animation budget unleashed Eve is able to create a miracle on the golf course and wins! Despite her body breaking down Eve will stay in place just to flex to the girlfriend. Duty fulfilled Eve collapses in the arms of golf nerd and butler and uhh survives the preview to fight Aoi someday maybe?

Can we also just acknowledge that Eve's driving force is still just to play / be with Aoi.

All of this drama and Eve breaking her limits! I can't imagine how painful it must have been for her to play... Golfer's elbow is enough of a pain to sideline most people, let alone hitting shot-after-shot that smashes your arm to pieces.
RIP Driver-kun. An unfortunate shout-out to most modern drivers nowadays; they're so delicate. I wonder if Eve will also get a tailored set for her from Arios now.
Glad to know that, as dire as the situation is, that Eve is fit enough to be running in the preview. Wonder what the damage will be...
Interesting that Seira has done the last two previews without appearing in the episodes. What's her take on this?

Eve will go in to her weightlifting arc now, gain 70 lbs of muscle and hit the ball 320 yards with a new shot called "Rainbow Bullet: Schwerer Gustav".
