Who are the worst coaches in anime? And the best ones?
Who are the worst coaches in anime? And the best ones?
Andrew Adams
Austin Price
Kamogawa is the worst, bar none.
Dominic Wright
That's just Ippo's fault for lacking in oxygen.
Jaxson Fisher
>"WADDA DOING KID!? THAT SHADOW BOXING, CORE STRENGTHENING, CARDIO AND WEIGHT LIFTING WILL JUST BURN ALL THE OXYGEN OUT! COME HERE AND DODGE THIS BOXING GLOVE ON A STICK"
Juan Smith
If he counts, then he's among the top-tier.
Liam Miller
*best
Asher Morris
Tatsumi is literally so popular that even the Japanese pro football players idolize him. Yakuza Boss man doesn't come close when it comes to Japanese pro baseball players.
Asher Watson
Kashiwaba from Touch is probably one of the worst.
Angel Nelson
I liked the tennis coach ape yokai from a relatively recent episode of Kitaro. Dude fucking turned his female pupils into stars and only wanted to slap the bitches in return
Levi Diaz
I posted Kataoka because he fucking sucks. He's way too hard-headed and emotional towards his players.
Tatsumi is a great coach. Good tactics, man management, and players development, without feeling like a flawless Gary Stu.
Colton Campbell
Not the worst, but certainly not the best.
Justin Butler
More like "Stand still while I throw rocks at your head". Followed by "Ignore him, he's just unconcious. A little sleep with his head injury and he'll be fine".
Thomas Collins
Tokuchi Toua
Cameron Hughes
He did ok for an old drunkard. He was basically Joe's surrogate father at some point, and tried his best to keep Joe in check despite the kid being a suicidal madman.
Carter Campbell
find me a worse one
John Martin
How many coaches in anime and manga are genuinely awesome when the MC is not the coach/player-coach? It feels like it's really hard to write a story like that since the coach would naturally outshine the MC so at most the coach would just be reasonably competent but not outstanding.
Like with ES21, if Hiruma was just a coach and not a player it'd be really weird, cause if he was a real coach he'd be able to influence more like giving more scholarships to students he needs to make a strong team like Poppo did with Last Inning, and then Devilbats would no longer then be the underdog. It's because Hiruma is a student, a player of the team, that his genius can be dealt with leaving the key moments to the MC to save the day.
Levi Murphy
Anzai mitsuyoshi
Lucas Rodriguez
He had a lot of soul but I don't think he came up with much when came of strategy or tactics. He basically just taught the kids how to play and pump them up. Kinda says a lot when MC literally only finally figured out how to shoot properly during the final match near the end.
Jackson Jones
Zachary Hall
I agree it's hard for mangaka to write coaches when they're not the main character. If Kataoka was competent in DnA, Sawamura wouldn't have to struggle that hard and the story would be completely different.
But it doesn't mean you can't criticize those characters.
David Martinez
Oh of course not. I was just wondering if there was a case and figured I'd ask. Cause it'd be real interesting to see it happen even if it does get boring, for novelty's sake.
Carson Allen
Look, just because Sakuragi had a few crushed vertebrae was no reason to pull him off the game. Hell Sakuragi was playing better and better with his injury. You could argue that experience was so capital for his growth as a player, the risk of ending up paralysed for the rest of his life from one high jump too many was well worth the risk.
Kayden Richardson
Hey the fatass would know, he himself deals with his own vertebrae being at risk of collapsing under all that fat every moment. Why would he be scared of shit like that? He'd just tell the kid to man up.
Jayden Hughes
Would you have benched Jordan just because he had the flu? It's the same thing.
Chase Wilson
>Seido actually lost to them shitters because MUH FURUYA.
I'm mad.
Lincoln Edwards
If it was a Japanese flu then yes.
Ryan Powell
Now I like Ochiai better...
Owen Adams
Ochiai has zero man management skill, but at least he's competent. Good thing he was there to teach Sawamura too.
Xavier Rogers
If he has spoken earlier about switching pitcher, the game could have been save. Well it's stilk Kataoka's decision to make. Ochiai wanted to have Sawamura started in this game.
James Phillips
Mexican doppo orochi
Bentley Morris
This coach made that shitty fujoshit anime watchable.
Mason Harris
Came here to post this. Best kocchi.
Eli Wright
Best girl coming through
Carter Cooper
A coach who can also be your lover.
Ryder Walker
>MUH FURUYA
This was not his best moments. Glad that Gary Stu is gone now
Mason Ross
Main reason they lost is that nobody can hit for shit in Seido apart from Harucchi/Miyuki/Shirasu.
But it's true Kataoka fucked up. I preferred him more when he was just stoically standing without saying anything the whole game.
