Wow that was amazing!!!!

To have them lose after all this strong buildup and such an exciting game although it seemed so certain that they would win after all, is a really good decision!
It strengthens their resolve and determination during the next two games and is also a huge opportunity for growth and character development for the team (especially Sakuragi as the one who'll most likely blame himself the most; refreshing to have the MC make mistakes like that in the first place).

It also fits perfectly that Gori's dream can't be reached yet, after all (even if he was willing to "sacrifice" his foot).

If they keep on winning for the rest of the games it is a much more satisfying feeling- After having victory unexpectedly snatched away from them due to such a silly mistake even after everyone exceeded their personal limits as players and endured so much ~

I think pretty much all readers thought it was a shame for them to lose (even if you would've expected them to lose), so it makes us cheer even more for the characters and support their ambitions & goals.

I think letting them lose this game is a very effective measure!

Ok, that was very impactful but I don't like it, that can't be a good ending to this great match. That's very sad.

tbh, didn't think they would win but I sure was hoping... They were so close, and Saku passed to the wrong person. He's going to suffer now...

Damn, they lost the match... it really was unpredictable for me with all the buildup, but it even made Sakuragi cry.

Well Akagi did say he would be there . Sakuragi was trusting his words

Nevertheless they fought as hard as they could to the very end.

Ahh maaaaan. That cry from Sakuragi at the end almost got me. He made a slight mistake and he's paying for it. I have faith that this will make him start training even more now and that the team will eventually beat Kainan later on in the series.

Well it's so nice to see how Sakuragie, the tensai, really tries to win and puts all his energy in this mach against Kaninan.

Never the less they lose. I guess this match was a major lesson for Shohuko and the whole thing was so great to read.

This was such an amazing game, So excited every moment.
That last panel of Sakuragi crying really hits home, seeing such a prideful character realize his mistake and cry is a big development for him.
