Things have fallen into motion and we had the first youth match among the members to promote to team A. Everybody was excited but once the match began it dwindled to competition among peers. Ao Ashi Episode 8 will continue with that competition after the match has been resolved. Aoi has finally gotten to play the match but he had been in low spirits since the start of the match. A residue of which carried over to the match after he heard one of the coaches calling him unfit for becoming pro. Being an adolescent boy with one shot at his dreams with tight constraints, he took it badly. And his flaws have started to show themselves in the match as he is unable to keep up with everyone.
Episode 8 of Ao Ashi will most probably have Aoi grounded and start practicing with a new goal in mind. He has shown potential not excellence, his enthusiasm is starting to feel an annoyance than charm. Considering all that, and steam from a few teammates, what challenges will he face in the future?
Ao Ashi Episode 8
Episode 8 of Ao Ashi is titled “Night Training”. With how things were going at the end of the last episode it won’t be any surprise how it will end. I know neither recruits nor the scout will make it to team A, but then again Fukuda said it to put them together. He could be just forcing them to understand each other as early as possible. At the end of the last episode, hostilities rose among players, especially against Aoi and the scout. Though Aoi did well at first, his performance went down as the match went on. Aoi was dejected for not being passed on get the ball at the end.
An important thing that happened in the last episode was how Aoi used his perception of the field. The anime had shown prior that it will focus on practical aspects of football, but not so in the last episode. Aoi used it as if it were a mystical ability for football which broke the immersion of it being practical. I hope it’s just a one-time thing and it won’t appear in Episode 8 of Ao Ashi. Also, he needs to use his head more often and not the same thing over and over again.
