I think Yuuma is tough. He's really tough after his training but in the world of sumo wrestling, there are also more skilled individuals.

Up to this point, the show has made it clear that there are many who wants to climb to the top. I think this episode goes to show that there are certain people in their world that are incredibly skilled outside of the main cast.

Such fucking hype. This series is nothing but hype and I love it. Also that post-credits scene was hilarious.

Unfortunately Yuuma wasn't able to win, but seeing his resolve really redeemed him for me.

And Ozeki did great as the captain as well.

Now it's time for Hinomaru to go all out.

Well, after this episode, it's safe to say I would not last a single second in a Sumo match. XD

Anyway, great episode, the matches were animated too which was awesome.

Yuma did his best but he ended up losing. :(
Really liked the flashback with him and his Karate master, it's nice to see that Kirhito actually tried to help him out.

Bucho's match was definitely the best, so much hype there. I really felt that victory shout. That was so awesome.
Speaking of which, how do they decide who won? Is it just whoever fell out first?

Can't wait for Hinomaru's match.

My boy Ozeki was a total beast!

What a great episode. First, Yuuma's match was really good and although he lost, I ended up respecting him way more than before. The flashback with his Karate master was nice too.

An then, definitely the highlight of the episode, Sanada vs. Ozeki. It was an amazing match and I'm also really glad that Ozeki managed to win in the end although it was really close.

Overall, I really like this ep. and I would say it was my favorite one 'til date. So now, I'm really looking forward to Ushio's match. I'm sure it'll be great.

Probably the best episode so far, lots of character development, lots of action as well and I loved the dialogue between the karate sensei and Yuuma.

To bad Yuma lost I really thought he had that one in the bag, I guess it couldn't be helped he was up against a captain after all. As for Ozeki, I really am glad for the guy for winning against Sanada. Sanada was a strong opponent who defeated his delinquents while Ozeki didn't, but I guess Ozeki was stronger by an inch. But Overall I think they are even in match.

Ushio is gonna start his, I'm really looking forward to this bout.

So fucking good. Yuma lost against the captain but for a minute there he was pretty damn close. And it was a close one with Ozeki too. Probably knew he was going to win though, otherwise Ushio wouldn't get a turn.

Can't wait for Ushio's match next week.

Tell me about it! I just noticed this episode that in the opening the opposite is happening! Chihiro is doing the same for Yuma xD

This episode was so much hype, loved the development with Yuma and Ozeki, Yuma's conversation with the karate sensei was hella great, didn't expect it to turn out this way in the beginning, is this from early development or were the flashbacks here like this in the manga too? I loved everything here Sanada was hella cool with his defense of the Dojo too.. Loved it.

This is quickly becoming my favourite show of the season and all its doing is hitting the basic shounens tropes but executing them flawlessly.

Sanada vs Ozeki best match so far by a good margin. How can you not love Ozeki lol

This episode proved how Yuma can be a monster if he has enough experience. I'm loving his development.

Sanada and Ozeki are both badass, that was such a good and intense match. So hype for Ushio's match!

Ozeki finally got the chance to show his real strength, although I believe that he was surprised that he won.
