DIAMOND NO ACE | Okumura Refused To Catch For Sawamura Until He Made On The First String |

[@shrutisinha734]

Among all his teammates okumura is the only one who truly acknowledges him and despite always complaining abt his loud voice , accepts him along with it ... it's so sweet ...i want to see their battery flourish as the best ever

[@cortezjea7568]

it was so pure and honest. okumura’s admiration to sawa is just so sweet and obviously, he favors sawamura more.

[@Gr0s3d]

They dont know how satisfied is see someone really acknowledge Sawamura, even more if is a catcher like Okumura; before they always talks about Furuya and Sawamura but watch a player who take him seriously is great; remembers me to Chris senpai.

[@flwrden]

8:17 i love how okumura realizes that, after catching sawamura’s insane pitches. he’s so taken back by mura’s talent. sawamura’s the real deal.

[@nightcoregameplay2146]

Diamond no Ace is the only anime that has me come back every so often to look at clips of Sawamura going serious mode while also being himself. It's also the only anime that I can watch the same intence scene over and over again and have goosebumps.

[@Sawa_i]

One of the best senior-junior interactions...

[@golchastrike1760]

Sawamura is heavily influenced by Miyuki in a good way. The speech about how pitching is an art made by the battery and when he called Okumura his aibō. Back then it was Miyuki who was telling him that stuff but now he's telling that to his kouhai.

[@mayneflynn26]

pretty sure Miyuki's gonna invite Sawamura when he's go PRO

@@mayneflynn26 they better be a duo. bring some of the main characters as well. lol

[@meiyami93]

@@mayneflynn26 I think Miyuki could invite Furuya or even been teamed up with Narumiya, though. As for Sawamura, I think he would want to show Miyuki all his growth so far by playing against him; therefore, I think that he might be paired up with Chris senpai 🤔

[@stellpearl8349]

@@mayneflynn26 i more prefer if sawamura and chris as a pair..chris can take sawamura to another different level .. like how he start to teach sawamura about 4 seam and how to control his body..

[@SiegheartGC]

@@stellpearl8349 Chris taught Sawamura how important it is to develop different parts of the muscle and core to avoid injuries. That really helped Sawamura a metric ton. Imagine Sawamura was facing yips, so many lack of fundamentals and skills, but on top of that being injured. It would have been miserable and maybe impossible to come back from. Chris knew Sawamura's strength and helped him correct his pitching form(as well as the coach). Chris practically created and taught the fundamentals to Sawamura. I too want to see Chris and Sawamura battery when they go pro/college or something.

LMAOOOO thats actually rly funny cuz mura mura is like an expression for being turned on in japanese. Sounds funny asf to me.

[@flwrden]

under that hard exterior, you can really tell okumura admires sawamura as a player, and a senpai.

[@Mayu-Maki]

Sawamura really deserved that ace position. He lifts up the mood of the team whenever he's on the mound, plus since he pitches to contact, the defense gets to show off their excellent fielding which I'd assume they prefer compared to just standing there when its Furuya and his fastballs. And he's such a great sempai. I love this guy 🥺

[@Encest_5]

Nah he doesn’t deserved it idk why they gave him the ace number it’s just like giving the hokage position to kakashi while naruto is still there even injured furuya is better than sawamura

[@silencedpizza6056]

[@kiyawilliams1811]

It’s actually cool to see Sawamura mature in his own way

[@Kei-gm1ow]

I just realized that Okumura have so much respect to sawamura that he feels like he don't deserve to catch his pitch that's why he kept refusing sawamura and only catch sawamura's pitch if he got into first string

Still a lot of people are sleeping on this great anime.

based on my personal experience, many people stop watching this anime, because in the end, the main character is not believed to be eijun, however furuya 🥴 and this is very frustrating....

[@robinomana589]

@@suckerfor_love I understand your point. But the long build up is what makes it more satisfying than other sports anime like Haikyuu. Haven't you seen the Act II yet?

Act II is the spotlight for Sawamura these first seasons are meant to show the hardships and learning experience for Sawamura which is better instead of being good from the start.

[@suckerfor_love]

@@robinomana589 alas, I only watched the first season. I am by no means claiming that this is a bad anime, quite the contrary, I think that it has good drawing and styling, as well as well-written characters. btw, I really love anime about sports, however when watching this particular one, I'm a little impatient, because I really like eijun, but for some reason it's like the spotlight was taken away from him.

[@robinomana589]

@@suckerfor_love Yes, I truly understand. But be a little more patient lol and you'll see the real Eijun. It's actually really satisfying.

I love and enjoyed Haikyuu but seriously this one took my top sport anime by miles. The characters development isn't crazy fast but once it happened, it is just so worth all that wait. It is almost slice of life too not just shouen. It makes you really rooting for Sawamura and growing along with him.

Facts

[@LinhNguyen-ei4dq]

Haikyuu and DnA are my favorites, too and I can't really tell which one is better. Both are fun and enjoyable while also have some really meanningful real life lessons. The only difference is how those are portrayed. I think Haikyuu is more popular because people tend to love fast character's development (Haikyuu character's development is just slightly faster than DnA) and more joyful atmosphere (HQ characters didn't get desperate to become a champion like DnA). Moreover, baseball is more complicated than volleyball in my opinion, so for those who don't play any sport (like me), Haikyuu is easier to understand and enjoy.

One of the best sports anime... it is the first anime which made me cry like a baby... I am surprised most people don't even know about this cause like it's on par with Haikyuu.. Season 1 is of course frustating a bit regarding the third years leave and Furuya stealing the spotlight but this is what makes it interesting! Rather than being good from the start its really interesting to see Eijun's development in season 2 and 3.. It's really satisfying... I highly recommend it.. You don't even realize how attached you feel toward the characters! Hope there will be a news of season 4 soon!!

And i can still remember when Sawamura went to the Seidou for the first time and for just visiting, Kazuya felt his potential power and his character (i mean he is the "Ace") and also tried to show his 'potential' power to everyone (firstly to himself).

Từ một pitcher không có nhưngz kĩ năng cơ bản , Sawamura đã trở thành Ace của Seido, thực hiện được mục tiêu của bản thân. Ít bộ anime nào mà tác giả lại để con ruột của mình thua kém hơn con kế như DOA. Nhưng chính vì thế nên chúng ta mới thấy được sự nỗ lực, vượt qua bao đau khổ và sự tuyệt vọng của Sawamura. Cậu ấy ồn ào, có chút ngốc nghếch, nhưng chính cậu ấy lại luôn cổ vũ đồng đội của mình, giúp đội bóng đến dc koshien . Không phải thiên tài nhưng chính các thiên tài và cầu thủ giỏi đều phải công nhận cậu ấy. Thật mong chờ Ace bakamura của chúng ta ở koshien mùa hè. Cậu không hề thua kém Masamune hay Furuya, khi mà có thể kiểm soát được các cú Number, thì cậu sẽ thành cầu thủ ném bóng thuận tay trái giỏi hàng đầu của cả nước.
