      The pitching was amazing. I love watching pitchers with good "stuff".. However, I think Shohei showed more about American baseball in his Pitching Save than the entire Japanese pitching staff portrayed about Japanese League Pitching. It took Major League heat to shutdown the best in the Major League.

    In anime, these 5 throws should last about 4 episodes. Each throw has flashback of Othani and Trout, follow by teammate flashback. Then they will have monologue between the protagonists. The final throw will not be shown, it will skip forward to future where they already gone back to home, 3 months has passed. Then you will see their team holding the cup in picture frame.

Game on the line where either Ohtani seals the game or Trout either gets on base or ties it with a homer. And it went full count. 6 pitches in total with no foul balls. Just ball, swinging strike, ball, swinging strike, ball, and finally swinging strike out.

    Disclaimer: I grew up in Japan in an international school watching both Japanese and Major League Baseball. I know how much Japanese players respect and look up to MLB players and that’s why this is like the moment of finally “getting there”. Before this game Shohei told his players: “Guys, this is it. Leave aside any admiration for the USA players. I know you guys are in awe of MLB players but not today. Let’s go get em!”
