Flaming Dodgeball Girl Danko

That spider bot injecting Honey straight in the leg is genuinely one of the most unhinged things I've seen in a sports anime. The show is calling it athletic support but we all know what those spider amps actually are. Anyway Hako shielding everyone with her stretchy body was the real MVP moment

The Chinko name flashback hit me harder than a skull ball to the face. Her dad was so proud and just kept yelling her embarrassing name in public without realizing it. Danko hugging her and saying the name means love made me emotional. Also the chibi bonus segment explaining the original Black Armors was good lore

Honey getting spider juice shot into her thigh then turning into a full mech was the wildest thing this show has done and that's saying a lot. The Getter Robo comparisons are so on point. Also the referee ripping off his suit to reveal that outfit had me wheezing

Kira revealing everyone's private secrets was brutal but the show handled Hako and Hayami getting wrecked by their insecurities way better than I expected. Then Chinko's whole name backstory with her dad screaming CHINKO in class made me laugh and tear up at the same time

The Mochiko flashback wrecked me. Girl gets her desk spray painted and her lunch stolen and she just smiles and shares food with everyone. Then Suzy channels all that warmth into throwing dodgeballs hard enough to launch a whole team into the bleachers. This show is insane

Mochiko going into the lava with that gentle smile while her friends screamed was brutal. This show was silly one week ago and now it's killing characters on a floating platform over molten rock. Genuinely shook

Chinko pulling off Satsuki's move after seeing it once proves she is technically the best player on this court and honestly if she could just control her temper it would be over for everyone

The Tosa Attackers looking straight out of a 90s CoroCoro page was perfection. You can tell the character designer had a blast bringing that classic aesthetic into 2025

How are thousands of screaming punks in a massive colosseum watching a tournament that is supposed to be super secret. I love how stupidly high stakes old school dodgeball gets

I lost my mind when Hani used her little bee drone to snatch the spats right out of Peiko hands during the flag race

Danpei throwing a dodgeball to stop a whole falling kindergarten van was the most ridiculous thing ever and I loved every second of it

The way the rain stopped when Danko got that fire in her eye was such a cool visual and the power coming off her as she stood back up was intense

Peiko is becoming the best character since she actually cares about the legacy of their dads, and that Tsunami Shot was absolutely brutal to watch in the rain

That needle scene with Moa caught me off guard because I thought this was just a sports show and her body glowing purple was actually kind of scary

That dark dodge training flashback was so good and I cannot believe Honey actually pulled off that double elimination at the end

Watching Chinko stand her ground against that massive maid was so cool, and it really felt like the team actually started becoming a real squad today

Peiko snatching that grape soda and taking a sip was absolutely bizarre and reflects her chaotic energy

I am actually obsessed with how young Danko's grandma looks and those physics in the swimming pool scene were definitely noticeable and this show is easily the most fun thing airing right now

Likes anime and Mangá

I still cannot believe that one girl is literally named Chinko and she just says it out loud with zero shame in front of the principal
