Only two more episodes left for the finale and Taiki still confused with his decision?! That's poor. The animation and music did it's job as usual and pacing was just good. I hope will get to see some interesting move from Taiki. But need to appreciate Kyo👏

Taiki’s growth as an athlete is the real star here. He’s becoming so much more confident and strategic. Seeing him analyze his opponents instead of just playing with "passion" shows how much he’s matured since episode 1. He’s not just the "underdog" anymore, he’s a contender!

The pace is a bit slow, making it a bit boring at times. The soundtrack doesn't help build the pace to create hype. Chinatsu, once again, isn't open about her feelings. This love triangle is really annoying! Maybe we should wait until the final episode.

So that was bait. Nice save, Kyou. The worries keep on flowing and the thoughts keep lingering... Even if the outcome is obvious despite the "duel" between the two, I'm still rooting for Hina.

I felt the SHIFT. The vibes changed. The air pressure changed. My blood pressure changed.

This episode feels so fast! No break! The graphics of the final qualifiers are fluid. Suspense as every point feels like a life-or-death battle.

This episode was full of head spinning for taiki running in night to cool his mind just to find chinatsu again was epic.

EPISODE CONTEXT

Episode 23 of 25 places 'Spinning' deep in the season's emotional endgame, building directly off the previous episode where Ayame discovered Hina's unrequited feelings for Taiki and resolved to intervene during the training camp. Taiki's introspection here serves as crucial groundwork for episode 24, 'A Roller Coaster,' where Hina's emotions reach a breaking point and she pushes for a pivotal moment alone with him — meaning this reflective slowdown is the necessary breath before the final dramatic escalation.
