I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| Damn, Yuuma didn't even hold back at all in the fight this episode. Stabbed right in the back. To say the least, he's a prominent target to keep an eye on. We also got other tactical moves and analysis again from the background commentary. Definitely an episode worth waiting for if you're curious about how characters planned out for this fight. |

| It looks like that one week break allowed the animators to spend extra time animating the heck out of this episode. It was a sakuga fest galore. Hopefully the next episode can also deliver some of that same quality. Aside from the animation, the fights themselves were epic. Seriously though, that pinball move that Kuga came up with should be illegal for being so overpowered. The matchup with Yuba and Ninomiya was short but sweet. Yuba came so close, but Ninomiya just outthought him by a tiny bit. They will explain probably next episode the full rundown of that matchup as well as Kuga's pinball technique with the grasshoppers, so I look forward to seeing the full explanations. A lot happened this episode, especially since there was relatively more action and less explaining done this episode than in past episodes. Next week is the season finale, so hopefully it ends on a satisfactory note. Tamakoma technically doesn't even need to win the match. They just need two more points. It's now a three on three between the two remaining teams, so teamwork should be the major key to deciding the victor. Hopefully Tamakoma can get enough points to go on the away mission. |

| Loved Everything about this ep. Actually, loved the whole season. Only problem is this is the last tournament battle |

| Wow, just wow. What a spectacle, both with the fights and the animation. They really went all out with insane camera povs and animation. Honestly they need to redo season 1's canon story with the care of this season and make fights like this. That would be the most over the top comeback for the show that deserves it. |
Rukodaime91 said: Tamakoma only needs two more points to go on the away mission. So if the other team bails out, Tamakoma still gets the points that they need.I don't see how Tamakoma can win considering the remaining opponent. Kuga is good but not that good to win under this condition. By the way, since Tamakoma needs 3 points and point for surviving is 2 points, opponents can just bail out (just have to go away from Osamu). |
|
| What an amazing episode! Honestly, if the last episode is this good I just might bump my rating of S3 up to a 10/10. |
  "Truth is always a cruel thing." |
| That was definitely great and tense, only two teams remaining and Tamakoma are not far from having the required points!! |
 |
| episode did not disappoint, holy shit. its going to be rough for tamakoma 2 but i believe they will get two points, even if they lose |
| Holy shit the animation fucking slapped with a good amount of those action sequences. Toei was flexing this week. |
 |
| Looks like we got an episode where Toei tried on the fights. Great hype episode. |
| Damn that was intense, you know the animators pulled no punches when there is hair physics and epic running. Kuga's new move was awesome not sure why he used it on Obishima of all people though. Lets see if this time Tamakoma 2 vs Ninomiya squad goes better than the last. |
| Holyyy shit we really starting off the new years with some GOOD ASS ANIMATION MY GOD 👌✨ man this was a good ep!! All these years of slaving watching the drag that was season 1 lead up to this moment and I'm so happy, like damn 😭 |
| Damn, Toei stepping up their game for these final episodes and what a treat that is! Looking forward to more goodness next episode. Tactics and intensity a notch up, as expected from the fight. Ninomiya-san doing the unthinkable and taking down Yuba-san within his impeccable range certainly makes things very interesting now. How fitting that it'll be Tamakoma v Ninomiya next up, I don't think Tamakoma will manage to outright beat them but here's to hoping they get the two essential points. |

| Yuba running was so hype |
GeekNewz said: This is some of the BEST animation I've seen from this show I KNOW!!! Man, it sucks that this show isn't getting the hype it deserves like other shonen. It's definitely bringing some much needed love to the animation for this great story. |

| Leave it to Kuga to use his trigger in such a smart way. Ninomiya was a beast too. |
 |
| holy..... this episode was intense! lot of unexpected ends I'm excited for finale next week <3 -- also, baited. hahaha unfortunately Chika got KS-ed, hahaha  |

Technically they could just split up, play hide and seek and run the timer. Yes and every team that survives the round gets two survival points. Looking at the objective each team has Ninomiya squad has the clear disadvantage here as they are the only ones who actually want to fight / win the round. Tamakoma 2 just wants 2 more points to make the cut for the away missions so they could just do what Ninomiya Squad, Kageura Squad and Azuma Squad did in round 4 and let the timer run out and realistically Ninomiya Squad has nothing they could do about it as the map is rather big and all members of Tamakoma 2 have Bagworm and can just go hide in the sewers or something. |

To clarify, I do recall matches where there were multiple teams that survived, but I don't recall if both teams got survival points in those cases. Edit: According to the wiki, in cases where the timer runs out with multiple teams still alive, nobody gets survival points. |

anime-prime said: According to the wiki, in cases where the timer runs out with multiple teams still alive, nobody gets survival points. You're right, looks like I stand corrected. Playing for time can be a valid tactic in actual combat so I assumed that the rank wars would take this into account. |
Noumu said: That's true, but when points are involved, that loophole could be very seriously manipulated with various motives by different teams. So i assume that Border foresaw that and that's why they added that stipulation.anime-prime said: According to the wiki, in cases where the timer runs out with multiple teams still alive, nobody gets survival points.

| Damn they really outdid themselves with the battle animations this episode. Next one is prolly gonna be lit too. |
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |

| Probably one of the best episode in the series, they really went all out with animation and so much unexpected stuff during the battles. I also don't see Tamakoma-2 winning this, but I think they will get at least 1-2 points. Also Chika is now terrifying too see. All that no stop nukes! She is definitely getting a lot of development. |

| 'Fantastic' seems like the perfect word to describe this episode. Kept grinning from beginning to to the end of the episode. Every single scene is downright amazing, especially the ones that involve Yuba (Yuba kick and Yuba vs Ninomiya). 5/5! |
| omg what the fuck with that epic battle between captain !! so intense and insanely good !! |
| Am I watching a movie?!?!?!? Wow, I had to stop eating midway as to not miss any awesome scenes in the entirety of the episode! It's been a while since I have seen this kind of glorious animation and fight scenes/angles again. Thank you WT animators! This should go down as one of the sickest battle episodes in anime history. Let's just keep our fingers crossed for this same level of animation in the finale. |
| Really glad they put the budget into this final fight. Everything was so smooth and pleasant to the eye, the fights felt like they lasted longer than just one episode. One more episode left, and it has been more than one year since season 3 began, can't wait!  |
