Again, I have mixed feelings about this episode. First of all, let's talk about the positive aspects of it: nicely done the rivarly between Hiroto and Haizaki - the clashing of two similiar personalities which want to prevail over each other. Cool the new improvised hissatsu, though I don't really understand the "angel/god" thing: apart from Hiroto's gag, it's more suited to characters like Afuro. Oh, well, maybe it was the start of a new hissatsu we'll see in the close future. I also liked how Red Bison captain behaved himself during the second half, I'm quite sorry for him.

However, there are a lot of flaws I have to acknowledge. First of all, I hope Asuto's goal is only an isolated case, I don't want to see anymore Asuto saving the situation with some random, normal shot. Also, did Red Bison goalkeeper forget he has Fire Wall? Ok for Haizaki and Hiroto's shot, but again... Second point: how did Baek and company's not have any penalty for their play, for what they did to Seok? Did really the spectators not noted their actions? For what I understood, only that little girl, Yuu, seems aware of what is happening on the field. Referee? Where are you? Oh, well, but I suppose I have nothing to complain: we are in the Inazuma Eleven world, after all. Third: where did Kidou pulled of their hissatsu tactics? Really, I'm tired of seeing Inakuni Raimon/IJ developing new techniques out of the blue like this. There, where are the episodes focusing on their training? I missed them.

And then... Here we go with the Orion's disciples. Sincerely, I'm not hyped about them. They seems an Orion version of the SEEDs, nothing more than evil, enchanted soccer player. Again, failure is not contemplated (playing soccer is really dangerous for kids, it seems). I'm pretty sure we'll see Baek again. The thing about the black-dressed men made me think about how El Dorado treated the player who failed them: maybe a sort of new MUGEN prison/program? Or something like Aliea Gakuen in IE2? Mitsuru as an Orion disciples... Not so surprising, I have to say. But I'm curious of what he want to do with Endou. Please give space to poor Nishikage. About Zhao, I'm not sure. He could be an undercover agent, trying to destroy Orion program, or one of his agent. I hope the latter, even though I think is less likely to happen.

Last thing: Goujin is useless and annoying as ever.
