TTTTTime-skip

I was so caught up in Eita's monologue in the previous chapter that I completely missed Noda's hit at the end. Well done, team. You could say Yoshimi got away with his faith in Bungo that time.

Pretty ****ing derpy to kill that good feeling with losses (like, seriously? Lose the next match in the tournament and lose the first match of the next?) and a bloody timeskip. The hell was that...

 

[razxiko]

That escalated veryyy fasttt

So 4 or more volumes on one game, then quick rundown on how they lost and then timeskip 2 years later.
I gotta admire the guts of the author, honestly. Good stuff.
Thanks for translation!

so their final year in middle school? i guess this was gonna focus on high school cause the way the manga was drawn. they looked to old to be middles schoolers.

 

[kontorru]

I am kinda caught off guard with the pacing lol.

But if there is no time skip the pace would be very slow I think. It would be like ace of diamond

The author pullled a Be Blues. I had a feeling after the "middle school" arc started, that it can't be this age through the story. They stated that they want to be on the top, but I never felt the "weight" behind it. Maybe the goal will be similar, so the top will not be highschool baseball but pro?

 

[maki-sama]

That escalated pretty quickly. Blown 10-1 and then 2 years later 😆

Thanks for the chap!!

 

[SmilesAgain]

Oh so the entirety of everything after this is their 3rd year already? That's pretty long since the raws are all about their 3rd year until latest chapter in the 200s

 

[aomine_daiki]

This is speed

 

[shase]

Thanks for the chapter.

We didn't even saw the captain playing..

 

[onepunchman]

[Twi]

@SmilesAgain
Doesn’t seem too long were only 123 chapters from 200 and a little more than half was one game.

 

[laiseran]

That was some timeskip lol

 

[qtblader]

Why introduce the captain as a new character during the last match if they were gonna skip ahead 2 years. Strange.

Not that I mind a highschool story. Prefer it to one about 12 year olds throwing high school level fastballs.

@kbalintz I don't see how this is like Be Blues. They adapted pretty much every year. Even the part where Ryu was injured during his first two years of middle school.

 

[NinjaSpider]

@Twi 60+ chap one game? Dayum

 

[stanfromis_9]

Yo wtfff, it was bomb after bomb dude lmaoo we skipped for two years after getting one pitch a chapter. Well i hope the continuation is worth it

@qtblader
I dont want to spoil anything for anyone so if you want to read "Be blues" and/or you are not up-to-date, then please don't open the spoiler tag.

Spoiler

The small child Ryu "arc" only lasts around 10 chapters and it's mostly character introduction. And, while the middle school part is longer, I just looked back at it and funnly in ch 77 he states that he stays in japan. Yes, there are some chapters from that summer and after the championship, but in real that arc ends the same chapter as Bungo's It's just feels longer cause at that point it's inculed 2 whole year they spend in that team, not just 1 tournament.
Also, after their announced 4 victory we jump over entire tournaments. Or just like the first year highschool after they win the selection, they skip over the matches in 1 or 2 ch until they lose at the free kick.

But other than this, what I truly meant is this 2 thing:
Usually most of the sport mangas follow a single freshmen and their team's victory with their senpai's till the end of the "insert liked winter/summer cup". From now on, they either win it, and it's the end of the story or lose it and they win next year, which is not as common. You can hardly find any (or just I didn't looked enough) where the goal is not stopping at the wanted championsip, where the MC wants more.
And most of the manga's would have been doing this middleschool part in multiple small, 2-3 chapter long flashbacks. The timing of the 2 what I feel similar.

huh ? .... um ... ok...
timeskip in Be blues was much better...
