| Saw the ED and went back to check the specific chapter, and yeah safe to assume that they'd end this season somewhere around the 77-80 chapter mark going with the current pace, and the remaining 12 episodes(including this one). So, things do make sense now why they had to go all the way and make the entire ending over Hina alone.. sheesh! Really btw, if anything, she's that one character who actually does something in this series, does that one thing which our main guy and Chinatsu can't… SHE CAN SAY WHAT'S IN HER HEAD. She confessed(!) and yeah people would cheer on her after this episode but remember… … this guy has no feelings, at all, for her. I mean even during their conversation, he was thinking about Chinatsu’s match.. lol, is a different thing tho Chinatsu suffered as well here, but anyway, author could've tried back then or the adaptation might have tried to make it less obvious “one-sided love”, but yeah, it is what it is. |

| @Mari_Marx Bro watched Green Box ep 14 |
| English Subs are out. |
| Love declaration!!! Cool!!! The face of both was a great poem!!! But Chinatsu face in the last scene, badly girl!!! kekeke |
| I dont think its far fetched to assume here that both our girls were planning to confess to Taiki after their matches, unfortunately for Chinatsu .. her team has lost, and seeing as her world crumbles after the fact was a hard watch. This was a really good episode, and i'm surprised how well paced this anime still is after thirteen episodes. |

| @AnimeFan500 that's only the fansub tho, no? It's also only v1, I'm waiting for v2 if it has to be fansub |
| HOLY FUCK THEY TOOK A WEEK OFF JUST TO COME BACK WITH THIS EMOTIONAL ROLLER COASTER. I did not expect Hina to confess so soon oh my goodness I’m so proud of and happy for her. It fucking hurts knowing that rejection is inevitable though. They turned the drama and emotional tension up to 1000 in this. How you gonna have Hina confess and Chinatsu lose her game/miss a game winner in the same ep 😩 Hina’s situation is just so unfortunate because it’s a collection of what-ifs. Like if Chinatsu makes that shot and is not depressed, Hina might’ve been in with a shout for Taiki. Now there’s no way he’s gonna be able to focus on her confession or romance with anyone else after Chinatsu’s inevitable depression arc. I like the symbolism of the missed last second game winner shot as well. Coincided with Hina’s confession and Chinatsu’s miss is basically analogous for Hina’s rejection that we know will happen. It’s like a “missed opportunity” summed up in animation form. Also, the shot of the promise band being broken was nice symbolism. But that wasn’t enough drama, they had to end off with Chinatsu overhearing Hina saying she’s in love with Taiki FUCKKK. If her mental state wasn’t messed up enough already, it’s gonna be worse. This tension is enough to kill a person lol can’t wait for next ep. I love the Hina visuals in the Ed!! |

| @Mari_Marx @nathh OI!! SPOILER! Also what the hell did you watch? |
| My daughter just asked if Hina was going to be the "Rem" of this series. Might end up that way tbh. |
| Good episode and I think the staff for this one did a solid job in conveying the emotions this one had to offer well, especially with the parallels of Hina's confession scene and clarity of feelings (leaving no ambiguity behind) with Chinatsu's pain and disappointment after losing and even dealing with the aftermath of knowing of Hina's feelings for Taiki. Nice for Hina to gather up the courage to confess to Taiki in a fairly normal and random time, knowing that to get him to pay attention to her as a girl in love than being eternally friendzoned as she was previously. Even nicer seeing how Taiki was realizing bit by bit how his interactions with Hina were with knowing the full context of her feelings now beyond his denseness, and how these feelings as well as Chinatsu's loss and his current feelings for her is leaving him confused and in knots. |
| idk if im schizoing or maybe it's a coincidence but I think that Chinatsu is wearing an extremely similar shirt to the one that Chihiro had in Spirited Away, maybe it's an omage or sum Considering they both have the kanji 千 "thousand" it could make sense, idk. (also yeah, goated episode icl)   |
| This is Hina's episode and Chinatsu acts more like the losing heroine today, and she knows Hina confessed. The juxtoposition of the confession and the game is so painful. We don't see them really winning the game. |
| Hina losing heroine arc here we go. |
 |
| Sweet episodes that Hina confesion to Taiki and it was goosebumps for Taiki itself, it's getting more sweet! |

| I can't believe this but Chono has grown on me. Hina's VA really brought her to life compared to the manga. Blue box continues to deliver peak animation and art. 4/5 episode |
| At the end of the day, we all love watching trash. High School DxD Hero Episode 8. |
| @Rem_x1 and @Altieee - hianime.to ; for me it's the best currently because it has active comments + decent upload speed |
The shifts between the basketball match and the shoe game was masterful, especially the shot of the broken ankle ribbon even if what it represents is agonizing to think about. It really isn't gonna be Chinatsu's day for a while is it? The raw pain behind those eyes at the end is too much, man.  |
| Just like with Haryu's defeat against the eventual winner of the badminton inter high competition, Hyodo, in the previous episode, seeing Chinatsu's shot rebound off the hoop with barely a second remaining when her team was one point behind felt VERY crushing. Such is the nature of competitive sports where what-ifs get thrown around a lot, but the end result is that one side will win and be happy and the losing side will be upset about. In this case, I felt saddened when Chinatsu couldn't stop herself from crying afterwards. =( If that wasn't enough for her, she ended up appearing at the right time to hear that Hina has already declared her feelings for Taiki. Speaking of Hina, I'm really happy that she outright confessed to Taiki at the park so easily like that. I know not everyone in her position can say it as easily like that, but I do respect her for getting straight to the point. She knows that Taiki likes Chinatsu, but it's all the more reason for her to make her move now rather than miss out altogether. Not to forget, I'm happy for her after she got 3rd place in her rhythmic gymnastic inter high competition. You can tell that she's not fully satisfied with the result and wants to outright win it, so I do wish her the best of luck with that goal in mind. =) Overall, this was a great episode. With Hina making her bold move, I can see things becoming more chaotic and fun with the main trio as the series goes on. I look forward to seeing how things will play out in the game of love. |
| Great episode excluding the last scene. Once again she overhears something and it completely misinterprets it out of context leading to another misunderstanding... is this the so called peak? It's good but definitely overhyped |
