Todoroki just SCREAMS generic shonen character and I hate it. This game looks like it’s gonna be a cake walk, I’m just waiting for Sanada to get on the field. Sawamura is about to cook these guys I can feel it. I feel like the series is already making us look towards Inajitsu which is lame cause we still have a game here. I’m guessing Tanba is going to pitch for a bit, I’m hoping it’s given some solid time since there are 4 potential pitchers in this match.

I always found it a little weird how aggressive Miyuki was towards Sawamura during their first inning together against Yakushi. It’s off-putting even though I understand his reasoning/message behind it.

It’s probably just cause it annoys me that he’s this way with Sawamura yet Furuya doesn’t get anything aggressiveness towards him from anyone. Idk it’s just weird to me and I’m biased ☺️
