The much anticipated big practice match is finally here. We have been eager to watch this match since it was mentioned by Nao in the last episode. Now that is here. I am prepared for it. Sora’s mother is also excited about the match and probably will visit to watch it if something doesn’t occur. I really hope she does.
I’m glad to see how the team has evolved. There were not even a single conflict in the beginning of the match which was a good start. However, things become a bit rough at the first foul but that’s okay, they are getting better and are learning. They have improved a lot better as they were able to overcome all the obstacles and that they were not good at when they started. I’m starting to believe that they might end up at the inter-high, at least the start of the first week shows that spirit. Although I know that what they are capable of doing now is still the fundamental and they highly depend on the skills that they already have. But it was a good team play and we can’t say who was better than the other. They all were doing well not relying on any other. That’s a great thing and a big improvement.
It feels like things will get a little messy once something goes wrong and as this game continues. For now they all are playing pretty well as a team and showing their best to win this game. More than 9 minutes are to go for the first half. The moment they realize they are going to win, they will get relax. Kite and Sora will be the focus of the game. Momoharu will be annoyed by someone in the opponent team and will be frustrated. The game is getting intense. I’m eager to see how things will sort out between the guy and Momoharu. Their conflict is going to be very interesting and I’m looking forward to that.
I’m also excited to see how Chiaka will manage with so much pressure in the game. He has not played much of any part other than just catching girls’ attention. He is kind of a trump card, at one point he is focused on a girl and then at another point he comes up with a clever strategy. Now that the team is more unified I’m interested to see how he will perceive. He can do so much for the team. The best thing about Chiaki is that he comes in action when the team needs it most even if he is the most chaotic person of the team in general.
I didn’t like it about Taro and it’s not funny. I don’t like how he is attracted towards Nao. It’s something I’m never interested in. I can’t take it as a joke. It seems to be happening quite frequently. It would have fine with me even if he did that with Madoka as a childhood friend. That is also weird but not more than what he did in this episode. Moreover, Aatari seems to be a good rival. I like the characters who are funny at some point and can become quite serious at another. This game was more about rivals and winning over the opponent. Although motives are still vague to the rival. For me , the best rival is Taro Vs Sora.
Nonetheless the show is getting intense and there are many question to be answered regarding Momoharu. I’m so looking forward to the next episode and excitement is getting bigger.
