Seishou vs Outei next GUESS WHO IS GETTING JOBBED?!?

But in all seriousiness, I liked today's episode. Not exactly I would call good, it's not as cool or memorable as the orignal season's equivalent of Teikoku vs Raimon but it was at least kinda fun.

As much as I want to complain about Haizaki's quick turn, I find it oddly charming. Just the fact that he's kinda goofy about it. I'm a bit excited but I do hope he keeps some part of that loner stuff, but not that it becomes annoying or anything. There seems like there could still be a lot of development done with Haizaki's character. Hopefully, he doesn't join Asuto in espousing friendship, just that he understand that teamplay is necessarily for soccer matches.

Still confused about Anna and Nosaka. Up until now, they framed their relationship as quite the mystery. It's still up in the air whether she knew him before in childhood or just knew that there was something wrong with him the moment she saw his expression in the card. Regardless of which, still exctied about this as well, her catching Nosaka meeting Akane does add the layer of bombshell for later.

The whole foot thing was a bit of a red herring that it would affect the match but just having Haizaki see him being hurt was probably the only reason which is bad/bleh. There is also more information on Zhao Jin Yun but I didn't catch it as much so wait for the subs.

As for today's wazas...

Meteor Drop is alright,  the shoot's trajectory is on the same jank as Triangle Z but at least it just drops down. Don't understand why they had poor Moja get fooled by it.

Shining Bird a bit too similar to Perfect Penguin in that the birds gather into the ball, but it could just symbolize Asuto's admiration to Haizaki so do that with what you will but it was still pretty darn cool for the most part.

All in all, it's pretty meh but I personally enjoyed it. Seeing goofy Haizaki and Akane speak a little made the day. We get a glimpse of Endou watching your Zeus vs Teik---I mean Outei vs Seishou for next match as well but doubt that he is going to do much.
