In the spirit of this episode, someone should replace the ending theme with some Space Jammy music.
This episode was completely fine. I don't really get the whole switching up team members' roles thing.
Next episode is Ian and Utchi. Yaaaaaaaay.

What do you mean you don't get it? The episode made it crystal clear that the point was to show that having one dominant skill doesn't mean they can't do anything else.

Oh, and I'm really glad they didn't demote Amy to cheerleader. Thank god.

I noticed something in this, Yayoi mentioned they needed Carnival to Brave In Victory... Yet they wondered why it didnt work... :lol

Enjoyed this episode a lot. The show is moving away from Daigo centric storylines and focus more on the team as a whole. The emphasis on teamwork and uncovering each individual's hidden talent is a nice message. The return of Yayoi is also very nice. I'd like her to be more than just a researcher and a supporting character though, because this team can have 7 members and still not feel bogged down. Looking forward to episode focusing on Ian and Utchy next week.



BTW it's nice to have the cast of Gaim dancing at the EC. Still waiting for the subbed version of EP1 though.

I'm not feeling the love here. It needs to be more like:

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!! HUPSIE!:D

They also were at the end of last weeks ECs as well. That one was just in their normal clothes, this weeks was in character costume. I love that Gaku Sano is really getting into it with the flip and the air kick handgrab.

I don't remember that. I do remember King saying "Even though it's mixed up, it's still good."
And when I said I didn't get it I meant that it did not make sense to my brain. A team is best when the teammates do the thing that they're best at. Sure it's good to have other skills, but when you're going to play a life or death basketball game, now may not be the best time to practice said skills.
But that was all moot anyway since they just fought with swords and guns and bureibu.

I enjoyed this episode. It was nice to finally see Yayoi finally suit up and "fight" with them again! Hope she becomes more active in future episodes. Also Utchy's act at the end of the episode gave me a chuckle. He just wanted to play too! Haha. He's slowly becoming my favourite along with Yayoi.

Every character had an internal narration moment of "I had no idea [X] was good at that."

And yes, a team works best when they're performing what they're good at, but the purpose was to show their skills.
Relying on Nossan to guard and only guard would've never let them find out he was a good dunker, for example.

In the end, yeah, it turned into a straight fight, but growing as a team means you need to know more than just the one prominent skill they possess.

It was a good episode I still don't get Aigaron's other side he is either sad ore angry Dogold is Anger. Soccer vs Basketball that was awesome. I thinkKing should Give Carnival a rest he uses it to much
