EPISODE REVIEWS
High-octane professional rivalry leads to a massive athletic clash. The visual production peaks as the iconic Gibson Jr. enters the batter's box. The animation goes completely all-out, using crisp, high-speed camera tracking to show the absolute pride and heavy pressure etched into the faces of both generational athletes
This was a breakthrough filler episode highlighting Shimizu. She's at her crossroads between romance and passion and the tone was definitely doubtful and blinded by priorities. This ep was totally a side plot of the main story going back to Japan. The reality was hitting hard on Shimizu and the mood was melancholic, along with the gloomy visuals.
I really love how devoted Shimizu is, but I also feel a little sad about her initial decisions. Fortunately, Sawamura's words really got through to her. That said, Sawamura is low-key the MVP here. What I love most about this episode is that even minor characters who haven't appeared in a while can still leave such a huge impact, whether on the story or its emotional drive.
