It’s been a long time since the last Iron Leaguer episode, so here’s a quick rundown at what happened until now:

The long-time loser team Silver Castle has been gaining prestige with recent victories at the Soccer League, thanks to the coming of Magnum Ace and Mach Windy. At a desperate attempt to beat Silver Castle, the Dark Prince team challenges Silver Castle into a baseball match. None of the Silver Castle’s batters could hit Gold Arm’s Genocide Screw, except for Bull Armor, who learned to control his berserker mode. However, it’s certain they’ll never win if they can’t beat the Genocide Screw. Afterwards, a mysterious swordsman leaguer challenges Magnum Ace into hitting his 44 Sonic. The match ends as a tie, but Magnum now knows there is someone who is capable of beating the Genocide Screw.

Quick Summary:

The swordsman leaguer, Kiwami Jurouta, tries once again to perfect his sword skills, but he fails due to his confusions. The Dark Prince tries to offer him money to play for them, which offends Jurouta, as he realizes Magnum Ace’s words meaning during their duel. The match begins with Magnum Ace being injured, and Dark Prince winning by a few points. At the last inning, Mach Windy creates a chance to open the score to Silver Castle, but with Bull Armor and Ace at the bases, no one is capable of hitting the Genocide Screw, except for the newcomer: Jurouta arrives and uses his skills to learn about Genocide Screw and score a home run, turning the score for Silver Castle’s favor.

Two episodes of Iron Leaguer so far, and we’re introduced to the main characters: Mach Windy, a soccer player, and Magnum Ace, a mysterious baseball player. There’s also Kiai Ryuken, a tough karate fighter, who seems more like a sidekick so far. It’s an interesting series, though I still can’t see how it fits in Neo… Maybe the cannon on Magnum Ace’s shoulder in the opening is a given? Anyway, watch Iron Leaguer’s 3rd episode after the break.

In preparation for SRW Neo, I’ve started to look for the unknown shows before the game comes out.

The first series that got me curious is Iron Leaguer. It’s apparently a sports oriented series starring robots of the height of a tall person. What kind of twist is there to bring it to the SRW universe, aside from SS sized mechs? Watch Iron Leaguer’s 1st episode in Japanese after the break. Unfortunately, no subs are available to my knowledge, so I prepared a short summary.
