:: Episode 21: Tajima has FAILED to Succeed!
   Mou Itten (One More Point)

Summary


After Mihashi's little angsty moment, Nishiura's ready to play once again! Suyama bats, and there's some kind of doofy miscommunication between Tosei involving three of the players practically crashing into each other, so Suyama gets on the base! It's TAJIMA'S turn to bat, and we get this long drawn-out scene with Junta throwing a million times and Tajima failing over and over again. He finally strikes out and he gets all angsty for a moment because he DIDN'T TRY HARD ENOUGH! He has FAILED to succeed! He shakes it off a minute later though, and skips off to be the base coach.


Since Tajima manages to read Junta's motions so well, he has Suyama steal a couple of bases. He's now on third! Too bad third runners mean nothing to Tosei. Hanai gets to skip off to the first base and then runs off to second. Tosei decide to have Oki walk because they HATE Oki and don't want to give him a chance to shine. So now everything's up to Mizutani, one of the biggest dorks on Nishiura! By seeing Mihashi's face, Mizutani gets some quick chucks from the whole 'Renren' thing, then proceeds to fool around. Suyama helpfully yells out "THIRD RUNNER!" in order to get Mizutani to pull himself together.


After succeeding in getting relaxed and focused, Mizutani hits! Suyama runs and makes it back home on time, making the score a draw once more. Hanai tries to get them another point, but he's a bit too late. Cheering ensues from both sides. It's now Mihashi's turn! He fails and stuff. Tajima runs up and slaps his back, then proceeds to angst about his failure to succeed, but Mihashi and the others cheer him up again, telling him they'll make sure he'll STRICTLY get another chance to bat. Tajima that's true I would agree you have failed to destroy the monstrous Tosei and that's really too bad but you have succeeded in giving us a nice good laugh!


Best parts

  • If you can't tell by my SUBTLE HINTS, this entire episode reminds me of Hero Boy from Freakazoid, so I obviously love it a lot. For you see, Freakazoid helps me BREATHE. Freakazoid is to me what an aspirator is to a fake asthmatic, what insulin is to a diabetic, and what a third runner is to a Nishiuraling.
  • STRICTLY!! MIHASHI said it to TAJIMA this time! It was awesome.
