As if Hero Aca is the first one to pull this out?

In fact Hero Aca make the whole situation much more simplistic , and follow every archetypes of shonen manga's tragic past sympathetic character scenario.



Hero Aca is the only other series I know of that featured a tragic backstory that includes a moment where a mother was going through mess that resulted in her pouring a hot liquid onto her son when they were younger which resulted in a permanent scar somewhere on their body... What other series did this? I'm not being sarcastic or anything, I'm just curious as to whether or not this has been done before.


I'm also curious (if something like this has been done before Hero Aca). But seems like since you didn't get the answer so the commentator ate his own words.

Someone should add "pull a Todoroki" to a Urban Dictionary or something :D

Another great episode, and at this time I realized that I liked Katsuragi's character. Well, more scene for each character, and it looks like I would expecting it on the later episodes.

So do we just call that "Pulling a Todoroki" now? Anyway, we got 3 families with problems, wonder how many more were gonna get before this is over.

It's called postpartum depression, and it's a real problem, although this case is extreme.

By "Pulling a Todoroki", I mean the specific act of a mother pouring a hot liquid on her young son that leaves a permanent scar. But thanks for the information, I didn't know postpartum depression was a thing.

Well... too much drama.

You know, scars doesn't grow so they shouldn't be so much of a problem now... Postpartum depression I guess.
I like to post in manga forum when I feel it is worth it, so people will think. "Shit, is her again" or something.

People asked me where I read certain thing but the rules say no telling where did you read so maybe I am too boring for not saying? Or salty because you didn't check my profile that says don't ask because I hate people to ghost me after that. I love learning languages so maybe I did not read the manga in English.

Seriously this is worse than turkish dramas. If you want people to watch your anime dont just add bunch of pointless family drama show the result of hardwork since it's a sports anime keep it to basics.

Lmao the "Pulling a todoroki" comments

First thing that came to my mind was todoroki's mother.

Wow, Takenouchi and Ishigami are really useless while Itsuki piss me off when he tried to hit Maki. They just copy Todoroki past lol.

Honestly, there was a bit of everything in this episode.

What Itsuki's mother did to him as an infant was insanely disturbing. I did not expect to see something so shocking. I can fully understand why Itsuki nailed that guy with his racket.

Now, hopefully Maki's plan of changing team pairs will help things.

Interesting to see the club members getting worked up playing against the newbie Maki but have totally given up against playing the girls team

Damn funny to see Itsuki smash his head in, too bad for the racket though...

Lots of parent issues in this anime.

I think he did a good job with hitting him, considering his past I can understand it.

He hit that student until his head bleed but no suspension or punishment wao

The teacher being pretty chill with the incident too by saying that other student shouldn't tease other people's family issue. Where in the world can you find this kind of teacher

Shinjo's mom kind of sucks, huh?

I thought visor boy was being rude to his teammates to motivate them. But I'm not so sure.

WHACK! Right in the FACE! Douche deserved it.

And uh, everybody has crappy parents? Wow

They did a pretty good job in this episode.
Also Toma‘s mom gets me so heated. She deserves nothing.

Started the anime for the racket scene though I didn't expect it to be this soon into the story.
Seems like the anime will get really interesting. I like how they already hinted most of the problems most of them have.

I love Maki's attitude towards everything so much, the positive and carefree way he says things as bluntly and honestly as he thinks them.

@Coranie I know right?

As a new teacher myself I would never condone violence, even if it was my fav student and it was justified (like in this case). He should have been suspended for some time but who cares about realism in this anime, as long as you've been traumatized in the past apparently this gives you all the right in the world to be mean to others.

“Parents and their children aren’t always going to get along. So it’s not your fault, Toma. You’re just not so compatible…with Mom. It’s not your fault.”Ryoma’s such a good brother. Toma’s lucky to have him.

Ngl watching Itsuki hit that bully with his racket made me so happy. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Sakurai is such a great teacher and advisor for not yelling at Itsuki. He was so gentle and understanding. We need more teachers like him in school-based anime. I get that making another student isn’t okay, but what the bully did also wasn’t okay. So…I’m cool with it. But BURN SCARS? That’s so awful and heartbreaking. My poor boy 🥺😭 I’m so glad that he has his sister. They seem to get along well <3

I was already an emotional wreck, but when Maki said, “You, me, and the others are better together. We need to stick together,” my heartttt 😭 glad I got to see Taiyou being extra cute at the end.

Maki is putting in some effort and WORK into the club god damn. Also that backstory on Ameno was really tragic. I love how the music cut out and the sound effects started to blur together to create a sad scene.

Apparently the pairing is the reason the club isn't doing well. I wanna see how new and more compatible pairings help the club
