I actually came close to tears in many aspects of episode 2's date.
It's literally been YEARS coming (as in REAL LIFE years... not to mention the story), and the idea of Goro pulling away from everyone was pretty palpable for a while now. And Shimizus (both siblings) putting it out there was actually pretty powerful for me. One of the best dating episodes I've seen in a while. Romance anime or not. |

I love the opening theme for this season. And as far as that goes. Did they make a mistake by having him wear #25 at the start? He is seen putting on a #56 jersey for the Japan team later on and well that is his number in the America as well. You can mark it as a spoiler if needed.

I remember seeing that too, it would matter what team thats for, if its for the major league team and there was someone else on the team who was already 56 he would have to take a different number

Yeah. Just strange. He is wearing 25 on the apparent warmup team (blue jerseyes) and he has a 25 and 56 on the Japanese term jerseys at 2 different points. Not that it matters. The part with him wearing #25 looks like it may be a scene from the actual series later on instead of made just for the opening.

in the pros you can only have 25 players on the roster... assuming that wbc uses the same rules as the Olympics you can only use i believe up the #25 the number of players on your squad... so i guess its an obvious spoiler that goro is the last player selected on the team...

Goro is one cocky SOB... Leave it to "Ichiro" to show him some humility. Realistically speaking, he had to throw breaking balls before he could ever succeed in the Majors anyway.
I could watch the Shimizu siblings all day - those two are great side characters. I like the balance of baseball and personal drama so far this season.

But yeah for Goro to become the starter that he wants to be he is going to need to learn a good breaking ball. Hell he will probably need a third pitch at some point too. If he were to stay as a relief pitcher he could have success with just a fastball but it limits him. |

Very interesting, they finally decide to add in another pitch. I guess Goro has had second pitches before (S1, S3, S4) but I find it interesting that they seem to be adding one for real now, especially after the whole Sanchez thing. And a one pitch reliever wouldn't be impossible,especially one that throws 103 (Joel Zumaya) and can locate at 95/96, a one pitch starter would.

how does Goro not make a friggin junior team?
he throws 100mph and is pitching at the AAA level in the states japan is great at baseball and all, but this is kind of silly. Even if his pitch is flat as the ocean he'd still make some stupid juinor team |
