DIVE!! Episode 5! The #AnimeWatchAlong continues :)

Wow, a lot happened this episode. I was very happy to see Sakai's "friends" getting chewed out by the coach, who tells them frankly that Sakai's getting the "special" treatment cos he's actually bothering to do the training and put in the work - and they are not.

Thankfully, Yoichi has a chat with Sakai too to help him move on - which I think is why the very half-assed "apology" from the two works...

@moleSG It must've been uncomfortable being Tomo while the coach scolds the two teammates.

They knew he was going the extra mile, glad they didn't act surprised when the coach pointed that out.

@anime Yeah... but at least it brought the saga to an end rather than him dealing with being frozen out by his teammates for a lot longer.

The coach was doing it right, if anything she should've perhaps made it clearer up front that she knew they weren't putting the work in. She even said she'd know if they weren't when she handed out the assignments!
