| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Oh man, another painful cliffhanger. I have no idea what the next pitch will be. Loving this show so far. |

| Downloading right now. :3 |
| Not bad. Certainly an improvement from the first episode. I'm just really hoping they'll finish off this introductory arc next episode so we can move onto some more interesting stuff. |
| Now this delivered. |
| nice episode. it looks like kojima will win. |
 |
| watched episode 2 and it was awesome, i loved it! this anime is going really good, i wasn't expecting this at all from the picture xD lol they ended it with a huge cliffhanger, now i caint wait till episode 3 gets subbed!!!!! xD i rate this episode a 5 out of 5 because it was just awesome and it kept me interested the hole time ^^ |
| I just finished watching the first two episodes. And that next pitch is almost certainly a hit. Not really a cliffhanger, just like the time they revealed Tonegawa's last Emperor card. I'll be interested in how it lands, though. This is definitely going to hold me over until HnI II comes out in January. |

| Finally SD version by B2E~ Anyway, great episode, looks like Kojima will hit the ball next ep. Epic cliffhangers ftw lulz! |
 |
| The moral of the story is...butterflies are dangerous? Great episode. Lots of suspense, can't wait for ep. 3! |
 |
| Tip of the day: Nothing is always what it seems, never make assumptions, don't assume the sixth pitch will be fast when the other five pitches increase in speed. lol! |
 |
| Toua is still just an Akagi clone. He'll probably lose the bet... and probably intentionally. I don't like his character at all - there's no way you could read someone that well. My suspension of disbelief doesn't go that far. What, did he throw that ball near the batter's feet on the off chance that his wrist might be injured? Or is that a strategy he uses all the time... Is it possible to read a person's inner thoughts and physical condition by the way they throw a baseball to you? And give me a break. Chopping wood in the mountains to gain a spiritual advantage over your opponent... and then having an epiphany on the last block of wood. Does it get more cheesy than that? I'll keep watching because Akagi and Kaiji were fun, but deep down, I suspect that the psychological aspects of this series are a trap to get you to watch bishies play baseball. |
| you sure can't read people's minds but you sure can read their body language if you pay attention and that's the skill he picked up from his gambling time i think. just that he used that skill to his advantage in his pitches. |
| |
| The way that he won was smart and great. I was thinking it would be a faster fastball, but nope. Although, I hated how he spent a week in the mountains cutting wood just to get better LOL |
 |
| I hate this show even more now. Toua looks like the type of person that may only lose once or twice in the whole series, gay and predictable. The fat black chick fucking pisses me off even more. Every time I'm starting to actually like the show she pops up and gives some conceited explanation on how amazing Toua is. |

| This episode was pretty good, although it was a lot of the same thing. I am kept intrigued nonetheless. |
| Reminding me of Kaiji somewhat so far. Wonder what things will be like now that the introduction arc is over early next episode. |
 |
| Eh, the first episode was better. Everything in this episode was very predictable. |

| Agreed the first episode was better. Ugh I bet the guy pressured him into thinking he'll throw it there. @.@ |
| HEY! |
| good ep |
 |
| I hope Kojima win..even though i hate his arrogance.. |
 |
| Rofl, exactly the same cliffhanger as in episode 1 xD |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| Damn,Kojima's injury sure looked painful...made me remember when i broke mine.Aside from that,i hope he won't loose. |

| I'm loving the mind games, I could speculate on what type of ball I think he'll throw, but who knows what he's thinking. |
| The atmosphere getting more and more intense.I really hope that Kojima will not lose. |
    |
| damn cliffhangers so early on. I'm liking this show so far. |
 |
| Wow....Toua had Kojima pegged hook line and sinker both matches. Kojima is done. |
 |

 |
| This series feels a bit too predictable. |
 |
| Damnit, another cliffhanger. |
| Oh man , I predicted that he was aware of his injury because he asked him to throw him back the ball. Intense anime no shizz. |
 |
| This anime is screaming shouting MANLY MEN, Kojima is the spitting image of what it means (Mulan theme) TO BE A MAN!. They just keep upping the stakes each match and things are getting pretty intense. |
 |
| Ugh, I only wanted to try out a few episodes, but this got me totally hooked already :3 |

| Where does he finds these 1000 logs per day, for 2 weeks? Wow Toua got him all figured out. |
 |
| "Big Mama" really? That lady was already disturbing enough.....Is she supposed to be an American or something |
 |
| THAT CLIFFHANGER! Toua's a fucking genius. Baiting Kojima into picking up the ball with his non-injured hand to find his weakness. Makes me wonder what made him think to do that in the first place. That damn butterfly. Screwed Kojima over really hard in the long term. Great episode. 4/5 This anime really makes you wanna keep watching!

| Kojima should have seen through that |
 |
| That was awesome! I can't believe Kojima injured his wrist trying to save a butterfly though. Toua is so awesome and I was gonna say it was pretty obvious to him that Kojima had injured his wrist since be put the bat down to throw the ball back just like he said. Another cliffhanger ending but what will happen this time? Will he lose again? |
 |
| Of all things to get injured by . . . A butterfly! Though the whole bit with him going to the forest to "train mentally" always seemed kind of cheesy. |
 |
| well that was pretty lame even i'll noticed that if he threw the ball by putting his bat down. Anyone can notice that, and they are showing him like he's a genius or smth. |
 |
| Yoooo, step back to take it! But it's obvious that he didn't empty his thought at the end. He's screwed. He shouldn't have made that stupid bet anyway. It's incredibly drastic. |

| Kojima clearing out his thoughts didnt work at the end when Toua figured out that he hurt his wrist in some way. To be fair you're making it painfully obvious when you ask someone to clean your bat and put down the bat in the wet dirt just to throw back a ball. Toua got in his mind again with the third pitch .... OR he's making Toua think he's in his mind :D |
 |
| That Toua guy is really a badass , and a cool one too . |
