Bamboo Blade - 05

With 4 girls ont he kendo team now, I thought we were close to having a full team, but then suddenly the practice match is already underway. I must say this occurs much faster than I thought it would, but this works out just as good. It gets it out of the way which will make for more story after the practice match, plus we get to see some more kendo action from Tamaki.

Impressions

Plenty of hilarious moments in this episode, especially how the opposing team takes such a long time to arrive for the practice match. Another would be Sayako getting beaten so easily by Tamaki and starts acting depressed. I would’ve thought that she would run away like she did 2 episodes back. Tamaki with twintails like that is awesomely cute as well, but the best thing was her explanation on footwork and her small demonstration. It really does seem that no one can beat her, but I’m betting that she’ll lose at least once in this series.

With the team down one member, I can pretty much guess how the 5th spot will be filled. Though whether the opposing team will pick up on it is another matter. Speaking of which, seems that the other team also have their sorts of characters, with some being similar to what we see with Tamaki and crew. Still, it’ll be interesting to see how these practice matches will go and who will become victorious. Can’t wait for more.

    I was surprised the match was this early on too, and that it’s without Dororo the fifth member of the team–makes me wonder what the next arc will be, although I’m looking forward to it regardless. I’m wondering if there’s anyone on Earth who can beat Tamaki, I guess we’ll see next epiosde…
