One sad thing is the people who recognise Eijun's abilities the most are on other teams especially other teams' coaches.

[@gusaanom]

kataoka definitely recognises sawamura's abilities lol. this is just the problem when you have too much talent on a team.

[@VcloutedX]

Yeah I noticed that too most people who see sawamura greatness are really people on other teams even when he got the number they was still doubting him it’s crazy and That’s why I think if the manga continues I believe hongo will have more interest in him than furuya

[@homesweethome9648]

@@gusaanom naah.. maybe at first. but right now he basically used sawamura as furuya stepping stone. his reasoning to gave eijun the ace number so furuya can realised that he is exchangeable so if he want the number he should stepped up.

[@sammydray5919]

​​@@gusaanom He did initially. But as the seasons went on he gradually got on the Furuya train to the point he even in his mind relegated Eijun as a relief pitcher instead of someone who can become the ace someday like he initially did. This game is literally proof of that he got blinded by Furuya's potential and completely disregarded Eijun as someone who can be just as good or even better. Thats the whole reason he HAD to be reminded by Ochiai that they should switch pitchers. If it wasn't for that reminder, he would have quite literally sacrificed the team for Furuya's growth completely contradicting his earlier statement about the matter. As a former pitcher and ace, he became too invested in Furuya's development and reading Furuya's wishes just reinforced that. This game was literal slap in the face for the coach and even Eijun's teammates because they really had become too absorbed in Furuya's amazing potential and it took THIS moment for all of them to finally come to their senses. Till the end of season 2, Miyuki was the only one who still believed in Eijun's potential to be an ace, but post Koshien, even he was on the Ace Furuya train. If Furuya hadn't fallen into a slump after Koshien and this game hadn't forced them to rely on Eijun to clean up this mess, ain't no way they would have EVER considered Eijun to be a potential ace because they were too enamored by Furuya's Koshien performance. They would see Eijun's growth but in their minds he would have always been a strong relief pitcher, not an ace. Like unironically between Koshien and this game, the only ones truly appreciating Eijun were the opponents and these new first years.

[@luffytaro3805]

​@@gusaanom then why he looked surprised?

[@mapunaka5721]

Favorite part was everyone having surprised faces at eijuns double. Except for baby girl Rei 🥹

[@leena1842]

This episode makes me cry because he tries SO HARD AND THE COACH STILL ONLY SAW HIM AS A RESERVE😭

[@chadwickchiquito3683]

My Boy Eijun showed the team what an Ace is supposed to do 🔥🔥 Also Kousei acknowledge who is the real ace of Seido

[@tinker3bellz1]

I really appreciate Kousei approaching Eijun

[@serifcetinalp7176]

Let's highlight Sawamura's pitching for a sec. Subbed in against 3rd high's cleanup, pitches 3 fastballs, Hoshida goes down looking, our boy Eijun only throws greatness.

[@soymilkassassin]

Exactly, let's not forget how good of a batter Hoshida is!!

[@snoylax69]

Bro has balls of steel. Got subbed in at the worst possible time and still clutched it out. Ace of the Diamond indeed.

[@benedictchong7504]

Nah man it was 2 outside 1 inside against hoshida. The strike out pitch was the inside but the rest were outside pitches

[@Oxymoron_i]

The 18 actually is the real Ace number in japanese Pro Baseball league. The legendary pitcher sawamura eiji had that number and the best pitcher award in japan is named after him.

[@tinker3bellz1]

Eijun was named after a real pro?!! Thank you so much for letting us know!! Is the nukber 18 true? Was it like an ace number just for him or japanese baseball pro league's ace number really is 18?

[@Oxymoron_i]

@@tinker3bellz1 basically sawamura eiji was the legendary pitcher who used to wear this number, due to which it became coveted and, then it became the Ace number for pro teams, so yeah in NPB teams give the number 18 to the Ace of staff. In highschool baseball no. 1 is Ace number. For example yoshinobu yamamoto the best pitcher in japan for last two seasons wears number 18. It’s like the number 10 in football

[@mar7174]

9:30 felt that “SHIT!!” from heart 😂 our boi popping off like its business as usual

[@iamgame_ing]

What I really like about episode 15 is that while Kataoka was ready to sacrifice the team for Furuya’s growth, I think Furuya sitting back and watching Eijun succeed immediately after replacing him is ironically better for him. God, the character writing is so good.

[@raen_01]

I have love-hate relationship with these episodes. I'm happy to see Eujun's growth but the disrespect for my boy! Love that he's sitting separately after game. Although he didn't have ill intentions for that, love that his petty was displayed.

[@markvajda]

My man, you can't believe how much I appreciate the double episode

[@draconds]

I'm not gonna lie. I was waiting for this episode ever since you've been reacting to Ace. No doubt one of the high points of the anime.

[@tintinkurniawati9628]

Me to, the best part, show eijun how far he growth

[@miyukiaozora]

Me too. And can't wait for the Hakuryuu game also

[@tintinkurniawati9628]

Also lead the team part

[@wirdest1210]

If Eijun had cried, I would've never forgive Kataoka

[@HanHan-kk1og]

I don't know if it just me realizing, I think eijun only cry for his team. He never cry for himself.

[@ninjablade-kk1eh]

​@@HanHan-kk1og naw he cried a couple of times when he had the yips

[@maheshwariswarnima7644]

I think reading Furuya's baseball journal and understanding his goals made Coach really want to see him achieve it. And from my POV, he was not apologizing for not believing in Eijun's abilities but apologizing for not putting him in sooner because he was so so focused on Furuya. (if that makes any sense?) like, when Coach Ochiai talked to him, he looked kinda shocked... Awesome reaction tho!! Thanks for the double episode!! Excited for everyone to start to acknowledge Eijun's skill and contributions to the team

[@HanHan-kk1og]

Isn't that the same kinda?

[@sammydray5919]

So he was willing to sacrifice the team for Furuya's growth?? Good to know

[@sammydray5919]

Coach : "I wont sacrifice the team for Furuya'a growth" Also Coach : *proceeds to sacrifice the team for Furuya's growth* Coach I love ya, but I am SO glad you got slapped in the face with this game because you were doing my boy Eijun dirty

[@BlackMagic622]

My favorite part of the anime. Eijun is my boy. G.O.A.T stuff.

[@mahirdumato566]

You know Kosei gets in the rhythm when he starts his internal dialogue.

[@Kim-ng4ti]

I like that Eijun was sitting seperately even tho it wasn't his intention to "punish" the team for not following suit. But it had real ace vibes because for once it wasn't that the team needed to talk Eijun up or support him but it was Eijun supporting and pushing the team. And the team didn't deliver and didn't respond in kind and that wasn't living up to Eijun's ace-like expectations of HIS team. He owned that game and I love that for him. It's a nice way to light a fire under them regulars too🔥🤌🏼

[@martophrenia]

amazing moment)

[@Luxe_101]

I'm happy we finally got to see your reaction to these episodes, Eijun only gets better. The frustation on his face on the different treatment he got, man that feeling was awful when I first watched this anime.

[@ialphasoul2460]

The improved cutter debut was chilling 👌🔥 17:08

[@soymilkassassin]

Not sure Lax realised Miyuki's position changing from one frame to the other 😅

[@Angryegaroq]

Dang. I hate when Lax relates to characters because I see ME too. “Don’t apologize” for having to rely on me, for putting me in a trying situation like you don’t trust me to be able to handle it. I love and hate it cause I be feeling the same way Lax does. And it blurs my vision too! 😂

[@Killerqueen2000]

This instance shows that Ochiai was always about logic. he mostly favoured Furuya initially because he saw the skill level Furuya had while Sawamura was slumping. He makes decisions based on what he sees while Kataoka is more of a development person who is also more biased. It made sense for Kataoka to be so biased for the ace since he was one himself tho. He didn't try to disrespect Eijun, he was just too blinded by his personal emotions and indirectly disrespecting him. The fact that he had to say sorry to Eijun.... not a good look. Eijun was such a boss. We already knew how good he was, it's just nice to get to see it and let everyone else in the series see as well. The man just went at his own pace and dominated. Took complete control. This is the start of Eijun elevating his level of play even further and I'm excited for the future

[@The_Default_User]

Ty for the double reaction, i needed that one

[@JayJoStanAccount]

Since they mention is slightly in this episode Ill just say this about the coach, The number does have a slight effect but the thing to take away was when the reporter mentions Coach was a pitcher himself and a runner up at Koshien. He understands where Furuya is at and what he is going through and I think sympathizes with him and let the emotions dictate instead of his normal thoguhts

[@taa347]

Everything about these two episodes is fucking beautiful. Really Eijun's re-debut as a player

[@Wildbom]

I don’t like rewatching shows because it doesn’t give me the same feeling as when I first watched it, but when I watch your reactions about Diamond no Ace, I’ve literally watch and reread Act II so much it’s not even funny.

[@TownspersonB]

One of my absolute favorite parts of the show. Eijun deserved so much better than a late apology.

[@saimonesakisi1601]

This ep hits so hard to any one that was bench and came in and cook, but coach never believe in you in the first place, sometimes all it takes is a chance , and to believe in yourself

[@HenryTheEgoist]

From the moment you started the series I have been waiting for you to watch this episode Sawamura's growth is incredible to see I am glad that someone is enjoying the series as much as I have Thank you Very much🤝🙏 these episodes are my favorite 🔥

[@hp4rmmiami947]

No lie the biggest surprise is u catchin the moment of ochiai and kataoka… happy u gave ochiai his props for callin kataoka out bout furuya

[@tintinkurniawati9628]

I realy have same exactly tought, I feel the same frustasion as you😢 hope his team treat him better , he just ball of Sunshine

[@mugunth975]

I can feel the emotion behind your words @ 13:45 🥺🥺🥺

[@REVOLUTIIONAL]

The GOATED episodes are finally out 🔥 Thanks for the reaction! I still cried no matter how many times I see sawamura finally getting some damn respect. This season will be your favorite man 👍🏼

[@mence5992]

When you make the third foul with a bunt it's a strike-out. That's why kanemaru got out.

[@GayungAntiPecah]

I think from this eps that everyone will start to appreciate Eijun, when Furuya is still struggling with his problems, Eijun will lead the team with or without Myuki, the next eps will be even more touching. seeing how everyone is starting to realize how important Eijun's presence is in the team.. Can't wait for your reaction Sir..!! Salam dari Indonesia.

[@miyukiaozora]

Wah ada orang Indonesia juga 😆

[@wienawa007]

Wah ada orang Indonesia yg suka Diamond no Ace juga.. Senengnya...

[@phutriedanik3306]

Wah orang Indonesia, salam kenal 😊

[@kaelxr]

Wamura is a better man then me bc I would’ve been transferred schools and got my get back

[@AnthonyYang002]

I can not put into words the amount of hype that fills the bloodstream when the "Grow stronger day by day" OST starts playing at the peak of drama during episodes.

[@phdinfootsies2107]

Appreciate the double episode. Was waiting for it for so long. Best moment in the series🔥🔥

[@meganlambert4768]

Season 3 is so amazing and my favorite season! Thanks for reacting to this anime! I'm glad there is someone reacting to it and I get to enjoy it with someone else. Also these two episodes might be my favorites episodes of this whole show. Eijun is definitely best boy!

[@bryanprime3438]

It's not just Sawamura. Seido wouldn't be where they are without all their players both past and present

[@enzomora9823]

Finally, coulnt wait since i saw you uploaded the photo of this episode to see it. One of the best moments of the show in my opinion when sawamura comes back to the bech and kataoka just couldnt say anything but apologize with him. lot of emotions.

[@sunshineace3]

I've been waiting this episode for a long time. It makes me very happy that we share the same tought about eijun. So thanks for the video lax! I'm looking forward to the next one.

[@lalemandy5886]

I ain’t gon lie I was crying to when I first watched these two episodes

[@alexalejandre1908]

I've been waiting for these episode's for so long LETS GO!

[@abe_shae]

What Sawamura said is true. Kataoka wont put Sawamura until the end even if he play well. Its amazing how Sawamura still optimistic even after all your teammate aint believe in you.

[@letgox]

Can’t wait for you to finish this series!! No hate to furuya but sawamura is my #1. He’s worked so hard and yea at first he didn’t have much knowledge but seeing him get looked down on would get me so angry and frustrated ! Everyone overshadowing his accomplishments for furuya.

[@h4cked358]

Youre the best Lax. Appreciate you

[@koolbreeze831]

Here's the episode I was waiting for because like you said the coach would have taken him out in a heartbeat if he was doing as badly as Furuya

[@qualityanchor]

Ahh! I'm so excited that you're here. These episodes were great.

[@avvalyn9]

As soon as I saw the thumbnail for this video I started tearing up lol. Been waiting for this reaction

[@kernlasagas7892]

Already had a great day just because you upload AOTD ❤️

[@martophrenia]

great intro, bro 😂 amazing episodes, so much validation!!

[@savageemperor6754]

I could not wait for this reaction when I got it at work I was not disappointed as usual nice reaction 👍🏾👍🏾

[@ziadalsehli1432]

It's normal to cry in this episode because only God knows how much eijun went through to get to the number 1 and doing god like performance on the pitch made all of us emotional

[@iammastermagoo3057]

probably my favorite episodes so glad you made it

[@nathanbaca5131]

I see Coach K's apology as him apologizing to Eijun for putting him in at such stressful situation and relying on Eijun to get them out of the pinch. Eijun wants to be the ace, the one who the team relies on in those situations so thats why he was upset the coach apologized.

[@ai5072]

They got tunnel vision on my boy Eijun!!

[@legend_killer6982]

i cried in these eps, you know in the flashback in a certain game i don't know what team is it but sawamura wants to finish the game but the coach choose furuya and now he witness coach almost sacrifice the team for furuya even though he is performing bad and sawamura thought to himself what if he is the one performing bad in that game "will coach also not sub him?"

[@erickflowers1313]

If you were confused about the bunt it’s because if you bunt and it goes foul you’re out if you have two strikes

[@onlyDoti]

so glad to see i’m not the only one who cries watching Ace of Diamond

[@charlesgimano2764]

I really loved your reactions, made me tear up 😢 hoping for a season 4 renewal for this series because after the series ends that's the time in manga where eijun shows more incredible plays

[@animex-media]

Eijun!!!!!!!!!!!! The man said the Game clock still running WE IN THIS STILL!!!!!!

[@madokaayukawa3746]

I remember this episode perfectly, I had almost the same reaction 😭

[@lolprolol8]

he's gonna cry his ass out if he reads the manga and the game between ichidaisan and seidou in the summer tournament XD there you'll see the real growth of Eijun

[@ppploy__a2344]

You and me have a same reaction Lol. Like “ that my boy! that my boy! Sawamura Eijun ! “ 👏🏻☺️

[@egomana9329]

So goooood! 🔥

[@tigersendo4531]

Great Video made my day

[@simonquipildor_]

One more episode .. time to shine my great miyuki captain!!

[@gusaanom]

as much as i loved eijun's performance here these episodes also solidified amahisa as one of my favourites alongside sawamura and miyuku

[@dranzerkai6051]

The irony is Ochiai rated Furuya more than Eijun since the start but in this game, even he realised Eijun was needed far earlier than Kataoka. Every other team's coach and pitchers appreciate Eijun more than Kataoka and Miyuki do. Even the first years rate Eijun more. Kataoka's own mentor and coach rates Eijun more. But Kataoka is a literal hypocrit. Said he wouldn't sacrifice the team for Furuya but he did just because he saw a shadow of himself in Furuya and got blinded like Mei

[@lynnettekn]

the long awaited set of daiya eps :D

[@tung_off]

ALL WAITING THIS REACTION GET READY FOR WHAT'S HAPPENING IN THIS EPISODE

[@satpamkun3581]

Yeahhhh 2 episode thx u my friend this 2 episode belong together 😭😭

[@unnie4467]

Me encanta este episodio, porque todos ven el valor de Eijun. No solo lanzando sino también bateando 😊 Y cuando se sienta separado del resto (aunque no lo hizo para castigar a su equipo) 😊😊😊

[@maxime8796]

YEEEES One of the best épisode in the show.

[@funboye1220]

thanks for the 2 part ep

[@AKAPrinceJake]

A double episode 🎉🎉🎉

[@soymilkassassin]

@15:25 this was always a little unclear but I think the third bunt went foul, which counts as a third strike 😞

[@ktalkstudio6126]

The future captain show out here

[@matthieudelarte3914]

i also cry on this episode. Ptobably the best episode of anime

[@jeangarcia8049]

One thing that I always think separates daiya from other sports manga and anime is that it feels like eijun's own team doesn't root for him tbh. Sometimes they are downright nasty. He did everything he could to help and even then they didn't reciprocate, cuz they weren't able to get runs. Btw, I love how excited you get when you root for eijun😭👍

[@SuperFang1]

Season 3 Episode 15 is my favorite episode of the series.

[@hi3988]

7:22 I like him say the name like this XD

[@ardii947]

FINALLY!!!

[@AlejandroHernandez-wn9gf]

I think this is the only time I get mad at coach kataoka

[@AJayKumar-be1qg]

The rise of the ace😢

[@bunnies_n_pies]

it's about fucking time our boy Sawamura Eijun STOPS being seen as a *relief pitcher* I'm so goddamn tired of all the shade Eijun has received.

[@dranzerkai6051]

Like someone else pointed out, Kataoka would have subbed Eijun out way earlier if he was pitching this bad. Bum of a coach. If you look at the character book, most coaches would be tactically more proficient than Kataoka who as they say in football, is like a PE teacher. He can motivate everyone, but gets blinded by emotions than using his head for the position he is in

[@BattlemasterD20]

Rei wasnt shook

[@lisan2228]

Love seeing Eijun shine but it hurts seeing Furuya struggle. Wish the rest of the manga could get animated so we can see them both kill it!

[@abdoalarbi3769]

Lets gooo

[@andrescarvajal3486]

LETS GOOOOOOOOO

[@AlphaprojectFaye]

The match I wanted Chris to see the most 🥲. Glad Seidou lost the match. Eijun deserved so much better than what Kataoka and others think of him. Chris remains #1 Eijun's supporter no matter what

[@de_STORM2]

Zono batting like .110 and still has the 5th spot...

[@mamfrecapo]

this time the real protagonist anime

[@tectonio6175]

LET HIM COOK 👨‍🍳

[@soulseer1191]

I love Sawamura

[@esr8142]

LetsGOOOOOOOOO

[@jorgeseyde6275]

Eijun vs Ichidai = Tyler Matzek vs dodgers

[@IsSkyyyyyyyy9264]

Let's go 🔥😭😅

[@anilovers4669]

More and more for sawamura From now you all will watch sawamura more greater than now at least until seidou versus hakuryu gunma
