Y'all, I will go ahead and apologize -- this reaction had a lot of technical difficulties to overcome. I hope you still enjoy, but man, it was a frustrating recording! -_-
In any case, we get resolution of one arc and jump STRAIGHT into another! Hooooo boy, I'm nervous for Yashiro, y'all! @_@
And I'm not prepared for this "Grim Reaper" am I?!
Thank you for all the support!

Ohhh, y'all! Free! You give me such feels and such angst, and I love it!
Nitori is determined, Haru is deflective, Sosuke is being dramatic and SUPER "sus," but guess what? Both our teams are going to Regionals! Nothing bad will happen, right?!
Lots to talk about and I'm curious your thoughts!

I'm all about an archery tournament, and I've been wanting to see the clans all meet up for the entire season, so this episode definitely delivered!
Wen Ning is a damn Cinnabon! I love him! How did he become a badass zombie general?! Also, Chao...well, he's just awful, isn't he?

Let's call this episode: "Ash, Eiji, and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad [Indiscriminate Period of Time]."
Ash spirals into madness and despair, Eiji makes bold decision, Dragon Moon makes some diva demands and alliances, and NONE of this looks promising for a happy fate for our protagonists... 2021-01-31 15:01:00 +0000 UTC View Post

Oh, I get it. I get the Gojou hype now.
This mad lad may look beautiful, but he's pretty SCARY, too, with that Portal-of-Truth-style Domain Expansion!
Also, the LOTR reference nearly killed me. This show and its pop culture references...I can't, y'all. I can't. But who am I kidding? I love it! 2021-01-30 15:00:03 +0000 UTC View Post

This. Volume. It's one of my favorites of this series -- it's up there with Volume 7 (not quite as good as Volume 8), but it's soooo dang good.
The conclusion of the Ryonan vs. Kainen match was EPIC.
The tension buidling up with Anzai-sensai's plight was NERVE-WRACKING.
Sakuragi's BACKSTORY?! MUH HEART!!
All that, plus our delinquent boys...

It's crazy to think in the show that it's been a YEAR since our boys made it to their first swim meet! There were some definite parallels from the last season, but so much has changed!

I feel, in part, that most of this series has been leading to this episode.

I LOVE seeing our upperclassmen, especially Mitsui, shine in this volume! Also, Sakuragi, HURRY UP AND TRAIN, my dude!
From that crazy Takezato match I wasn't expecting to Kainen vs. Ryonan -- which I'm ALL here for -- this volume had a lot to go through, but we're slowly getting closer...closer to that fated re-match against Ryonan for Shohoku. ...

Soooo much in this episode: The twins being ridiculous, Kakeru showing how he is a demon-senpai in training, viewing the track for the qualifier, a run-in with Sakaki, getting into Musa's relationship on the team, and then...a WILD FUJIOKA APPEARS!
This episode was all over the place, but a very interesting lead-up to prepping for the Hakone! Now...Haiji...what are we doing, good sir?

Ooooh Sukuna, you are one shifty curse! We're only five episodes in and we have:

Interesting new antagonist reveals
Shady upper echelons of Jujutsu sorcerers (getting threatened by Gojo)

Since I've moved Slam Dunk's new volumes to be released on Thursdays, and they're not on YouTube, I've noticed my Fridays are open.
I'm Thinking of doing something Next Friday and maybe a few Fridays, if possible, in the future -- what do you think?
Is one of these options below something you'd be interested in? Thanks for voting!

So, I've been since informed that performing the demonic arts is basically like going to the "dark side;" definitely going to note that in Episode 5.
