looks like the bossman is going to spill the beans about the contract and the bets making the contract invalid XD. I wonder how Tokuchi is gonna get out of this one.

I really loved this episode. Well, I loved them all till now (not finished yet for me). :3

I enjoy the explanations a lot. They help us to perfectly understand the situation and, more than that, nothing like hear all that with Toua's lovely voice. Man, Hagiwara Masato sure is a great seiyuu. :D

The camouflage was genius, as expected of Tokuchi. As for the one condition about revealing the contract to others, there must be a way to get out of it somehow, presuming that is what the owner is planning.

Because if there isn't, that would be pretty lame, and a stupid way to lose all that money.

I speculate that the owner is going to get the contract leaked, which would thus make if void.

Although Tokuchi is a genius, he also depended on the team member sot be thinking professionals and thus cause more confusion... to deceive his enemies, he first deceived his friend...

This is a lot more straigh forwards than Death Note or Prince of Tennis, but I like it a lot more in a way because it is more realistic...

That car Toua driving is great.
Man if Toua lost, his money will be all gone! Holy shit the owner is a thief.
The stolen run was great. Nice job Toua.

I'm surprised they didn't use the fake knuckle-balls dude this game.

Toua has good taste is cars, although I would of went with a different color.

I'm guessing that the "winning condition" for the contract has something to do with injuries.

I think so, and Iˇm really scared of whet is going to happen. It would be really disgusting if they intentionaly crashed him in the car or something like that.

Wow was this episode difficult to grasp. I had to pause it so many times that I lost count.

I'm wondering what the owner plans to do to void Tokuchi's salary.

Looks like the Blue Mars manager has a plan up his sleeve.

At the pace this anime is currently going, this next game may just be the last game.

Pretty good episode though would have been better if Tokuchi explained his plan a bit better and didn't make it sound so convoluted.

7/10

Well this seems like a pretty nice team for Tokuchi to pitch against, the batters are terribad at hitting without knowing what is coming . . . They probably aren't any better than the batters batting in the one-outs games at okinawa.

I liked the explanations too, it was smart of Toua to change the meaning of the signs and tell the other players but not the manager.

What first person on about? they better not make him crash his car or kill him, otherwise I'll be sad ;_______________;

Although I did think that or injure him or maybe say he wasn't actually allowed to spend any of it until the end of the season or something.

Yeah i also think that its related to injury, cause he already made a deal with blue mars manager to injure Toua earlier.

Owner's "winning" condition has to be something to do with revealing the contract or something with being injured.

The sense of danger is really missing from this anime. Tokuchi hasn't lost at ANYTHING yet and aside from the car they just decided to show in episode 20, I haven't seen him do anything with the money from the gamble, aka the reason for the story. The one outs contract seems so one sided with just the owner in a room watching a screen; Tokuchi never says anything about it.

The game is interesting, but I was expecting a bit more by this point in the series. There's nothing on his past, why he's so good, why he can "read minds", what his goals are; there's nothing but a question mark on his character. This takes away from my attachment to the character, and frankly, the story as a whole. I really don't care if he loses all the money or gets a billion. He doesn't seem to really care, so why should I?

Good thing Ideguchi's got a good head on his shoulders or Toua's plan wouldn't have gone unnoticed. That said, he pretty much told Rodrigo that he knew they were cheating so I guess he's gonna have something new up his sleeve for the next game.

Toua was able to turn the second game around spectacularly but everything will be decided at the third and final game against the Blue Mars. Knowing how the owner just keeps on piling his debts with the One Outs contract, he'll probably do something devious like exploiting a loophole in the agreement. If that ends up being the case, I really hope that Toua won't stand for that.

Despite knowing that he'll probably get out of this one with a massive win, I'm more concerned than ever that this might be the first time things won't go as planned for him.
