I like how this explores how far all three women have come and how their bond remains even when they have to go against each other. This really expands what everybody went through in the OVA very well. #BattleAthletesVictory

Well, turns out Akari was gonna talk to Anna after Kris was done...but hides from Kris and hears everything about Kris wanting to join her in Akari's mom's light.

Yeah, OVA, I'm Akris, TV show? Ickari. #BattleAthletesVictory

Well, Anna wakes up and tells Kris going psycho? Not the way to go. #BattleAthletesVictory

"Why is it that I continue to win but my heart feels so heavy all the time?" Because the Tenchi guy behind this wants to get his yuri on? #BattleAthletesVictory

So, Larrie wants to show those "Pesky stupid emotions" are in the way of perfection, so she starts off the pole jump...by clearing it with NO pole! #BattleAthletesVictory

Kris wins the next round and is right behind Miranda as Akari continues to work her way up!

Well, it's time now to see the third wheel in this thing, Larrie...

"Get out of my way!"

...who's not exactly the cheerful one we saw in the OVA. #BattleAthletesVictory

digiranma.bsky.social @digiranma.bsky.social · 9h

Well, Miracle says no to Kris seeing Akari, but nothing about Kris's cow seeing Akari...but because she's a cow, she can't say "I got a note from Kris." #BattleAthletesVictory

digiranma.bsky.social @digiranma.bsky.social · 9h

...you can't tell her why she can't see Akari? What, is "Keep mind on tournament" too much? #BattleAthletesVictory

digiranma.bsky.social @digiranma.bsky.social · 9h

"With all do respect, BUTT OUT." I can see why *SPOILERS* happen now. #BattleAthletesVictory

digiranma.bsky.social @digiranma.bsky.social · 9h

It's time for Akari to face her match and some old friends are in the stands to cheer her on!

Akari...actually shows evolution and isn't moping as she goes on and wins round 1! #BattleAthletesVictory

digiranma.bsky.social @digiranma.bsky.social · 9h

Miracle sees how Kris is doing and offers his hand in training much to Akari's amazement...and she accepts as he offers a chance to beat Miranda!

Also, I know the dub calls her "Milanda," but the OVA had Miranda, some translations have Miranda, so... #BattleAthletesVictory

Time for Kris's half of the tournament and...

*SMASH*CRASH*BASH*

She's kinda pissed. #BattleAthletesVictory

digiranma.bsky.social @digiranma.bsky.social · 9h

Anna's in a coma and it looks like the stress from everything is why she's not coming out of it.

Sure, not the fact that her uterus is now pre watered Kool-Aid and her head sounds like a rattles. #BattleAthletesVictory

digiranma.bsky.social @digiranma.bsky.social · 9h

We open with Larrie going over vids about Akari's mother, revealing she's trying to beat her scores...if only those pesky "Emotions" weren't in the way. #BattleAthletesVictory

digiranma.bsky.social @digiranma.bsky.social · 9h

Up next, the aftermath. "Reason To Fight." #BattleAthletesVictory

digiranma.bsky.social @digiranma.bsky.social · 9h

Seeing this ep and how complex the characters are, how they make Anna such a tragic figure while establishing the new arc...

I thank God I only got into sports once then left. #BattleAthletesVictory

digiranma.bsky.social @digiranma.bsky.social · 9h

Miranda doesn't take a "I already won" for an answer and starts slinging lethal tennis balls Anna's way until Kris and Akari jump in. #BattleAthletesVictory

digiranma.bsky.social @digiranma.bsky.social · 9h

So, know I said the caved in nose is a good look? Well, what happened was Anna got good in mad...and pissed...and insane...and tossed her racket RIGHT BETWEEN HER SISTER'S EYES...

Back in the here and now, history...

*SMACK*

Does NOT repeat. #BattleAthletesVictory

digiranma.bsky.social @digiranma.bsky.social · 9h

Well, that's enough of a psychotic motivation for her to get up, shake off the fact that her baby making area is now playdough, and try again...and this time actually putting up a fight! #BattleAthletesVictory

digiranma.bsky.social @digiranma.bsky.social · 9h

All Anna could think of as Mom is seeing if her other daughter is still breathing is "BUTIWONMOMMYWHYDIDN'TYOULOOKATMEI'MGOINGTOTHECONTESTMOMMYMOMMYIGOODTWINMOMMY!?" #BattleAthletesVictory

digiranma.bsky.social @digiranma.bsky.social · 9h

So, what exactly happened between the twins? Well, Anna really really REALLY wanted to win, so her twin...

Well...I hear the caved in nose look is a good fad...also that's not strawberry jam on the cort... #BattleAthletesVictory
