Unsatisfying Spoiler

I find it hella unsatisfying that they spent 2 seasons glorifying the idea of nationals and some games went on for 8-10 episodes but once they finally reach nationals in act 2 it’s over in 4 episodes?

Considering how angry people get about other stuff showing an entire tournament in which Eijun does basically nothing would be a bad idea. Getting to koshien was the challenge . Once they get their he uses it as an opportunity to show the second years just how far they need to go

It’s part of what Daiya does well it recognizes the points that can add or decrease drama and understands reality is often anticlimactic. It’s not a fairytale. It’s gradual growth. That’s why so many characters declaration of intent: Shirasu, asou, kanemaru, etc immediate result in failure but over time they get given chances to payoff that declaration. This disjoint makes Daiya feel unpredictable but rewarding

If they showed it fully there would be 3 posts a week about how much they hate furuya instead of 1

It goes to show how quick it’s over. But also the Summer Koshien is more heralded.
