Nuevo opening! Nos cuentan la historia de Karen y Hyodo, un poco de una relación mucho mas madura pero de esfuerzo para ambos, ademas Karen aparece como una guía para Taiki y su relación con Chinatsu.

This episode was so wholesome! It focuses more on Haryu and his girlfriend's story. And I like how they motivate each other. The pacing was perfect as it blends cute romantic moments with high-stake battle. And that ending has my heart❤. However, the new OP and ED are so good!

It's refreshing to learn about the background of Haryu and Karen's romantic relationship. This certainly provides a good foundation and development for Taiki's relationship with Chinatsu. What I regret is that the animation quality dropped in several scenes in this episode.

It was nice seeing a different relationship perspective with Haryuu and Karen for sure. That flashback really did it in for me. Definitely spoke some sense into Taiki there. We cheer for Haryu and stay for Karen's teasing. ❤️

If sharing scarves was an Olympic sport, these two would medal in emotional awkwardness.

I love the awkwardness that you will feel. The graphics of the school hallway are bright. Suspicion as a rumour about Taiki and Chinatsu starts to spread.

That festival drama really left a mark! Episode 13 shifts gears. , the focus turns to the Inter-High Nationals. Taiki heads to the tournament to support Haryu. Lets see what happens next

EPISODE CONTEXT

Sitting at the exact midpoint of the 25-episode season, Episode 13 marks a definitive transition from the emotionally charged fireworks festival in Episode 12 into the Nationals Arc, where athletic ambition takes center stage alongside the ongoing romantic threads. This pivot signals the season's second half will test these characters under competitive pressure, not just emotional pressure. It sets the foundation for what should be a sustained stretch of high-stakes badminton and the personal reckonings that come with it.
