REAL Chapter 20 Discussion

Nomiya's right tbh. I'm sure the kids would've welcomed the refreshing change of the bad guy winning but oh well he got fired again.



And what the fuck about the captain casually suggesting to rape Azumi?! That shit's fucked up man.

The first half was really funny and adorable.



I agree with Yama, they make a good couple (and I hope that things will work out for them in the end).



I had to laugh at that explanation of Nomiya about the kids getting excited to see something new not the good guys win cliche and the way that he didn't slip out of the Godzilla (?) costume was quite hilarious.



I find it interesting that some of the team members didn't want to train that hard since they wanted to focus all their energy on family/ job and their lives outside of the sport. This is a very valid and realistic occurrence and yet I haven't really seen any sport related manga/anime adress that difference in motivation this way. Usually there'd be a different motivation behind it, like realizing the limits of one's own potential and being disappointed and "giving up" but it still means that the sport means everything to the characters after all. This portrayal feels more grounded in reality.



That suggestion of raping Azumi was quite scary to be completely honest.



I wonder if Kiyoharu will stick with Yone and the other "motivated" Tigers or the national Japanese team.



The way the story is set up I assume that Takahashi will be the missing element that Kiyoharu needs to overcome his limits and actually win but Takahashi is still in rehab and far from feeling motivated. I wonder if he'll be part of the Tigers or meet Kiyoharu some other way.



And Nomiya must also find a team willing to take him (after all playing Power Rangers wasn't his path either, even Natsumi wants to see him succeed in Basketball)

yeah, he did, but those guys were still fucked up! Yup, you certainly aren't any less human just because you're disabled. you can still be just as cruel, haha

If Tamura and the others wanted to ditch the whole Wheelchair Basketball gig because of it being a burden to their occupations outside the sport, let them. But joking about raping Azumi who had nothing to do with the tough practices Togawa gives was just really, really scummy.



They broke Azumi's heart and the Tigers are no more but it looks like Kiyo will end up leaving the team either way since he just got drafted into the national team.

                        It was so funny after the guy talked about Togawa and Azumi being a couple.. and Nomiya being the dinosaur. It's too bad the Tigers have split though Togawa really did overwork the others.

the f*ck wrong with that guy, raping someone who didn't do anything... I guess being disabled doesn't make your actions justifiable, if you were a scumbag before the accident/surgery you still will be one after.
