Amazing. Thank you guys for these crazy releases. You all are doing the Lord's work, my friends.
It was tough but I waited to binge the entire game and it was intense from start to finish, keeping me on the edge of my seat!
I'm really happy that Busou came back and won. Ryuu is back to his clutch self. He truly is the most clutch character. And Sakuraba's development was crucial to their teamwork and it shows. Now that he's a team player, they have been able to capitalize on that by gaining more chances to score.
This win doesn't feel forced or unrealistic to me when taking in account everything they have been through and how they've grown and improved. The potential was always there, they just had to realize it. Sakuraba's willingness to be a team player was handled nicely and wraps up his arc in a wholesome way. It's great writing. I'm pretty satisfied. It's been a while since a sport manga has made me feel this satisfied with everything building up to a moment that actually PAYS OFF.
Cheers all around! And I honestly can't wait to see what's next!
