In Episode 4, Shichigahama asked his teammates not to hold back for the sake of syncing. He believes that they can’t achieve perfection like Shiro High unless all of them give their best.
He advised Futaba not to think about catching up with others and rather think about surpassing them. If the teammates compete against each other, it will ultimately improve their individual performances.
Will this new strategy be beneficial to them? Can Ao High’s rhythmic gymnastics team live upto their coach’s name? We bring you the latest episode updates for this anime.
1. Episode 5 Speculation
In Episode 5, Ao High will proceed with their new training strategy, where the teammates will treat each other as rivals. The boys already look a lot sharper, and from there onwards, they will climb higher and higher to the peak of perfection.
In the previous episode, Shiro High totally outclassed Ao High’s performance. Now, it’s time for Ao High to bounce back from their past failures.
We may also learn more about Coach Shida’s past. I think he was a completely different person in his peak days at Hakumei University.
2. Episode 5 Release Date
Episode 5 of the Bakuten: Backflip anime has been released on Friday, May 07, 2021. The episode title or preview has not been shown.

I. Is Bakuten on Break This Week?
Episode 5 of Bakuten will be released as per schedule. No such delay has been announced.
3. Episode 4 Recap
In Episode 4, the joint training campaign of Ao High and Shiro High begins. The two coaches believe that the two teams can learn a lot from each other, and the healthy rivalry will benefit them.
We get to know that Coach Shida and Coach Mabuchi are alumni of Hakumei Academy. Together, they laid the foundation of Hakumei University’s rhythmic gymnastics team, and Coach Shida was the team’s ace.
Ao High’s manager, Asawo Kurikoma, shows other pictures and clips of Shida’s past performance. The passionate and intense look in his eyes doesn’t match with the calm and composed attitude he has now. (I feel that in his peak days, Coach Shida was more like Misato.)
Back to the campaign, Shiro High totally outclasses Ao High in the performances. Shiro High players feel disappointed and doubts if this campaign will benefit them in any way.
Meanwhile, Ao High’s captain, Shichigahama, takes it upon himself to bring back his team to the right tracks. He asks everyone not to hold back and focus on their individual performance.
Coming to the novice of Ao High, he advised Futaba not to worry about catching up with others and find a way to surpass them. He asks him to treat others as rivals and not as senpais.
This new training strategy shows results immediately. The very next day, their movements are drastically sharper and they feel a lot more confident.
Later, they throw a welcome party for Shiro High and the new members of Ao High. The two teams have good food, long discussions, and enjoyed a great time together.
