GET BENCHED HAIZAKI, although I am somewhat happy he is because we know that he would be the first to get blown up if he was on the field.

While I didn't really like Afuro's soccer speech (It was almost Tenma's level of "you are hurting soccer" but he said it more eloquently so he gets a "pass") and his Heaven's Time spam, at least it was something for him since what he got in Ares.

That's interesting~ Speaking of Asuto, he kinda went from being somewhat down about his "dad" being in Orion to uncharacteristicly cheerful and eager to prove him since "he's" watching. Honestly, this aspect is kinda interesting for him and I want to see what they could do with it and how it affects the match.

In other news, RIP Fudou, Hirua and Sakanoe. Let's see how Afuro and Nosaka get out of this "wacky" fakeish (At least that's what Nosaka sort of saying that it can't be real) minefield.
