That is exactly why I was somewhat irked with this episode, because unlike in the previous episodes, Yuri just barked orders and acted high and mighty and the battlefront just ran around playing games (literally to boot).

That said, it was lighthearted and fun to a fault, so I can't blame it too much. But this stood out a bit more than any of Maeda's previous sports-episodes in the past and it feels like it was a sports episode for the sake of having a sports episode.

And some of the jokes just didn't seem to be worked on at all. It was like... one physical gag joke to a physical gag joke to a physical gag joke to a physical gag joke.
