In Episode 8 of the Burning Kabaddi anime, some new members joined the team. It is revealed that Ban already knew about Yoigoshi. In fact, he was inspired by Yoigoshi to play Kabaddi.
He once took all his friends to see a Kabaddi match. This was where they all decided to play the sport.
Kei assigned them their positions, and they began training for a tournament three months away. The first day of the training went well.
Yoigoshi realized that he is having trouble communicating with his teammates and took Hitomi and Seki to grab something to eat.
We bring you the latest episode updates for this anime.
1. Episode 9 Preview & Speculation
This was probably the most hilarious episode and, overall, a great episode. I’m already a fan of Ban.
I hope it continues like this where Ojo continues to be the most valuable player instead of Yoigoshi, rather than Yoigoshi experiencing explosive growth all by himself.
I’m also glad that Seki had some sports experience, so he won’t just be the fat joke of a player. If he can do sumo, I’m sure he can do Kabaddi, with a little practice!
He’ll need to drop some weight if he wants to take part in the tournament, though. Maybe diet arc incoming in the upcoming episodes.
It’s pretty hilarious how Yoigoshi and Azemichi are inept in the ways of hanging out. Looking forward to the next episode for more practicing scenes.

3. Episode 8 Recap
Azemichi introduces himself as Ban Nobutaka and says that he wants to join the team. He brings some other boys as well to join the Kabaddi team. A guy named Hitomi wanted to join the Kabaddi team so that he could develop some masculine features. Seki, the other interested candidate, wants to join to become fit.
Yoigoshi tests the strength of Ban and Seki to check their fitness level. While Azemichi guides them on how to play this game because they’re all rookies. It is then revealed that Yoigoshi had a past with Ban but has forgotten about it.
They met during summer vacation in Second grade. Ban was attracted by Yoigoshi’s athleticism when he first saw him, and that’s what made him talk to him. Yoigoshi, too liked Ban’s crazy hairstyle because of how it stood out. This is how Yoigoshi became Ban’s idol.
Ban then started playing soccer. When Yoigoshi stopped smiling during a match, he followed him and started doing the same. Once he saw Yoigoshi in the Kabaddi uniform and took his friends to see the match. That’s where they all started to think about joining the Kabaddi team.
During the match, Ban easily caught Yoigoshi because of his carelessness. Even though Yoigoshi tried hard, he was taken down at the last moment when the bulkier guy helped Azemichi. And new recruits join the team.
With only three months being left for the tournament, they have to train really hard. They begin training as soon as Kei assigns them their positions. On the first day of the training, Azemichi stays back to train with Masato. The first day of the training goes well.
The following day, they all train as per their positions. They train both in groups and individually. Hitomi loses points being in Yoigoshi’s team, so Masato suggests they all hang together to improvecommunication.
Seki suggests that they all should go bowling. Hitomi analyzes everyone in the team to understand them. Yoigoshi realizes that he is having trouble communicating with his teammates. So he takes Hitomi and Seki to grab something to eat.
A few days later, in another training session, their moves change as Yoigoshi started to communicate with them. Masato was almost taken down by Hitomi during the practice session.
