Sakaki only passes to people he trust said in that interview then suddenly that guy nagato enters that gym and goes outside and listened to the conversation and feels bad for being a slump because that guy nagato reached his limit he just couldn't keep up with sakaki anymore then what? That nagato guy left the team and joined the Akatsuki

And here I thought something bad happened to Nagato....

Nah he just gave up on Sakaki which traumatized him apparently lol

He just reached his limit and was like I can't get your pass and sakaki was like ok I'm sad I won't pass to anyone ever again

It wasn't even that bad. all nagato did was realizing his own limits and believed in sakaki to manage alone too xD why that is so traumatizing, I dunno LOL bad writing haha

It's a funny writing of his backstory and that's why there's a black looking person shadow at the back of sakaki in the opening

oooh you are right. I didn't even catch that XD

This entire episode makes Sakaki look like a little bish.

He won't pass to anyone ever again and will risk losing the final match because he fears being in a class all his own. Waaaah.

So why did haru's dad left him anyway and is now playing in other countries and is famous

End of story.
Nagato has rinnegan.
Adalbert again haha so fast

Previous episode I won't pass to you. End of story. And now in the first scene I still won't pass to you. End of story again. Then in the middle scene there's a flashback again saying I won't pass to you. End of story. Like sure ok you don't wanna pass to haru it's cool haru can still score

I really love that scene in the opening where haru is riding that bike because it reminds me of that mc of re main anime riding that bike in the opening it's so cool

I really love that scene where they get introduced by their full name and got that good looking 1 frame picture in like 2-3 seconds

Sakaki is like a broken record *rolls eyes*

Sakaki is literally never gonna live down how childish he's being kaljakdejfakdjf I fear for that poor mans future as his friends will joke about it for the rest of their lives. At least the character development will be a huge breath of fresh air.

I never seen a guy in sport like this who has such pass issue. lol

Sakaki, its obviously not easy, but we need to grow up.

Also, In a way, I find haru's reaction to things peculiar. That Boi is precious grrr

But Anyways, am just dying more for spotlight to Toi (and after the other ep, a bit more Tsubasa too xDD)

Am I the only one getting yandere vibes from Sakaki??? All kidding aside, I can see where Sakaki is coming from. Like, he just doesn't want Yamato to leave him like his friend did. He has some serious trust issues, poor baby 😭

However, even if I can sort of understand him, that still doesn't make what he is doing okay. He's really doing Yamato dirty 😭😭

The way the full Okazan team was introduced made them seem super threatening!! Like, they have this aura to them that really screams "final boss"!!!!

I don't know if next episode is the last one, but it would be a shame if it is. Unless there's a second season?? 🤔🤔

Hmm...The art is pretty, but the storyline is kinda really fast paced.

Omg I swear I can’t anymore with Sakaki; like I get that they wanted to make him the center of being the problematic one in the team, but we’re already 11 EPs in and he still shows zero improvement, except those 2/3 passes to the others.
At this rate my boy the goalkeeper should just take the field cause even he is doing more work than Sakaki + I also feel like the captain is making a great mistake by keeping him as the game-caller and practically forcing him in that position despite his many protests, because he just can’t do it, leave him as an attacker and give Nagumo that position because I still remember Haru noticing how his vision was broader and how he just knew where to pass.

The reason though why Nagumo isn't the play-caller despite also having visual prowess with the court and where everyone is, is because like the Captain also said, Sakaki is just probably the most "individuality mechanically adept" person on the team. Meaning yes everyone is great but Sasaki just has innate talent that is overall better so the team can gravitate towards him naturally. In short... Think of Nagumo as a 7/10 skilled player while Sakaki is probably the only person on the team at a solid 9/10 minimum at almost all times while the rest of the team is also 6-8 in individual skill. Getting him to be play-caller in this sense is the best course of action for a strong team in the far future if it's achieved. At least that's my understanding from reading into what they said. *shrugs*

Yeah, it does make perfect sense but it’s still frustrating…guess we’ll just have to deal with it

The drama of this series is really BS. When we thought that the main focus of this story is about Yamato to prove himself to his father but no, the main focus is about Sakaki's passing problem.

this stubbornness is becoming more and more ridiculous, it's getting lame with each passing episode, i mean its a fkg team sport, go play chess or whatever...

ugh it feels too late in the season for sasaki to still be singin' that tune >n>

What's with that space looking ground where did it came from

That ending song is a little ok

Those royalty looking team is watching the koyo gakuen play against that team

Haru: hey you we gonna huddle up
Sakaki: thinks something* uh yeah ok
Team koyo gakuen: YEAH!!! in circle

As always, Sakaki's attitude remains prevalent in the episode, but the reason behind why he doesn't pass to anyone is because of Nagato's circumstances in the past.

I mean, I can kind of understand, but the reveal was showed way too late in the show that my view on Sakaki as a character has almost, if not, already soured to the point of no return.

Yamato and the rest of the Koyo team are practically the remaining things that I still somewhat enjoy about this show.

1 episode left, looks like I'll have to expect a rushed ending. Futsal Boys' situation to me is looking like a double edged sword because even if our first soccer (I know it's technically futsal) anime of 2022 is pretty bad, the other soccer shows airing this year (Ao Ashi & Blue Lock) will be significantly better, so at least there's that to look forward to.

Yea I can't wait for Blue lock xD

Just pass it to haru end of story

Staying with the idea of not passing to him.

oh man now only 1 episode left your still stuck on your nonsense stubborness stupid thought. oh common am tired of your drama sakaki, why haru father abandoned him..? you didn't told us a proper story or are you abandoning the story..? seriously i didn't get it damn shit.

Sakaki is frikin lame lols

Well it seems that Sakaki is committed to not pass the ball to Haru

Not surprised

You know what Sasaki, if you won't pass to Yamato so badly just join another team then you wouldn't have to worry about passing.

bestiieeee just passss the balllllll

I still don't like Sasaki. Want to see whether there will be a scene between Haru and his nasty father! smh.

Good episode. Although the whole thing with Sakaki and Yamato pretty much sucks me 😕

i do not feel the least bit pity for sakaki , such a dick

AND the last goal says it once again 'why force a talented offensive player to play passing'??? Sakaki should have been a striker himself together with Yamato and eventually put Nagumo in his position! The goals would have increased!

Sakaki uses his special move to score

The only good thing about this show is the opening lol

I keep laughing at the opening and that kick at the end

I just like the song for some reason xD

Still not passing yet?

the whole plot of this anime is that one girl does want to pass the ball to another one because she has been hurt in the past.

Futsal girls

early
