One Outs
Oshimeter
Synopsis
With nothing but slow, mediocre fastballs, Toua Tokuchi hasn't lost in 499 games. The catch is that his game isn't really baseball. It's a gambling contest called One Outs, where a pitcher faces a batter one-on-one with serious money on the line. Tokuchi doesn't care about baseball at all; he cares about reading people, exploiting weaknesses, and walking away richer. When Hiromichi Kojima, the star slugger of the worst team in the league, discovers Tokuchi and recruits him to the Saikyou Saitama Lycaons, things get interesting fast. The team's corrupt owner doesn't want them to win, so he sets up a contract designed to bankrupt Tokuchi: he earns money for every out he records, but loses far more for every run he gives up. It's a deal designed to crush him. Tokuchi takes it anyway, grinning. From there, this 25-episode TV series from Madhouse becomes less about baseball and more about watching a cold, calculating protagonist dismantle every scheme thrown at him using pure psychology and gamesmanship. If you liked Kaiji: Ultimate Survivor or Akagi, this is the same DNA, high-stakes mind games where the tension comes from outsmarting opponents rather than overpowering them. The baseball setting is just the arena. The real sport is manipulation, and Tokuchi never plays fair.

Great ending. This was the most worried I've been for the Lycaons. The game was incredibly hype, with tons of twists throughout. Toua is honestly one of the coolest characters in anime. From start to finish, this episode was so good.
This was probably the most intense episode so far. It was hype from the start through the halfway point, then got even more interesting toward the end. The villain is so hateable, which makes the game even more exciting.
This episode was really suspenseful, with tons of action and some funny moments too. It got even more interesting toward the end. As always, Toua was just aura farming.
Tokuchi calmly exposed the owner's final scheme to exploit his contract through a planned injury and turned the entire situation against him. Instead of panicking, he manipulated every move until the cheaters defeated themselves, securing another victory while sending the owner into complete frustration. I enjoyed how the finale stayed true to the series by ending with Tokuchi outsmarting everyone through pure psychological warfare.
Tokuchi completely broke the Bloomers' dirty tactics, even retaliating by "accidentally" throwing his bat back at pitchers who targeted him. Just as victory seemed guaranteed, the opposing owner revealed his true plan by ordering players to injure Tokuchi, hoping to exploit a hidden clause in his contract. The ending was tense, leaving everything hanging on whether Tokuchi could overcome their final desperate move.
Tokuchi completely flipped the game by turning Williams' fake knuckleball into a liability. Instead of challenging the pitch directly, he exploited the catcher's inability to handle it, stole bases with perfect timing, and forced the Bloomers to abandon their greatest weapon. I loved how every move cornered the cheaters until Tokuchi held the advantage no matter what they chose.
Intense episode with lots of twists that made it more interesting, but I feel like it's been dragging a bit lately.
Tokuchi finally exposed how the Blue Mars kept stealing the Lycaons' signs by using the ball boys as hidden messengers, then immediately turned the trick against them with a new signaling system. Just when it looked like he had solved every obstacle, another Shirooka appeared and hinted that an even bigger scheme was waiting.
It was fun to watch, though I got confused by some of the explanations. The ending really got me hooked on what was about to happen next.
Not much action, mostly talking and planning, but it was still exciting to watch. It's always nice to see Kojima get more screen time. The ending was pretty funny too.
Probably the most emotionally invested I've been in an episode. I was about to get really upset and probably cry a little if they actually went through with it. It was a very suspenseful episode.
Good episode with tons of action at the start. Toward the end, it focuses more on exposition and building up the hype for the next game, which was pretty exciting.
A bit of a chill episode with lots of talking and exposition. The action starts toward the end, and they're slowly picking up the intensity.
This episode was hilarious while still being incredibly hype. The ending, especially, was so good.
Great episode with tons of action. Toua is just aura farming at this point. The ending felt like the calm before the storm, setting up an even more intense battle.
Really fun episode. There was a lot of monologuing and exposition, but it still managed to stay exciting.
Good episode with lots of action. It did a great job getting me excited for the real battle in the next episode.
Good episode. Both sides spent most of the time testing each other's plans, so there was a lot of dialogue and exposition, but it was still exciting.
It's getting more intense as new challenges keep appearing. I like that not everyone is clueless, there are still people who can challenge Toua. I'm excited for the next episode.
Good episode. It was really hype, and there were some funny moments too. The ending focused more on dialogue, but it was still enjoyable.
