Lmao. Starless saving the first shot is fair enough, but the second one is no way. He was pretty much in the centre of the goal and that shot went top bins - saving that would be insane, but also catching it and making it look easy simultaneously? No shot.

Dude wouldn't be playing for the youth team if he was that insanely good lol.

C'mon, this was just cheesy plot armor.

You can clearly see the goalkeeper is closer to the opposite side of the goal & corner shot. Yet, somehow, someway he not only got an entire hand on a ball that was close to the corner, but was also able to get his whole body behind it so he could land in front of the post.

No way, absolutely not, at best he should have crashed into the post if you wanted me to consider this was even a slightly believable save.

The first save was amazing enough, but the second? A shot straight to the angle right after a deflection, he doesn't just deflect it, but he CAPTURES it. That's fucking bullshit. Worst chapter in a while.

GK in football manga tend to be plot devices. They'll do what the story needs them to do. They'll let straight shots from 30 meters in while saving shots like these. Oh well... more drama next week

Man, what a letdown. The second save is straight up bs.
Anyways, thanks for chapter.

Did that mean the GK bet it all and ran for a top bin after recovery from the first save?
I can't imagine it in my head. I guess the scramble for the 1st save took long enough before Kuribayashi got the chance to send it

Hahaha...I'm not alone who thought the second save was impossible. If he punch the ball out of the goal, that may still believable. But this guy casually catch it with no effort at all. With that kind of skill, he should play for the senior team.

ok that 2nd save is just not real lol. Although the most surprising thing here is that in that 1 second, Kuri and Fukuda dont have the same thought, maybe he wants them to keep the ball instead of taking the 2nd shot? Curious on how Edgy Fukuda makes some changes

Yeah the first super save is fine because it was more of a mental game with that feint. The second no way, a shot to the corner suddenly from a clear out. Come on now

BULLSH*T!!! That second save is pure asspull! No goalie can save an overarching shot with his left that makes him lose balance, then regain balance to go to the far right corner and jump high to make another save. LET ALONE A CLEAN CATCH SAVE...!!

I'm so pissed off, man. 🤣 I know it's fiction, but let me have this one.

People mad about the second save and I am kinda too, but it was a pretty sick save in the moment even though it was for Barca
