Even the impressive Tsukasa takes a heavy hit... Episode 11 of the anime "Medalist" has viewers laughing at the sharp-tongued remarks of a grade-schooler, "Sharp as a tack" and "A master of retorts".

While Tsukasa takes a heavy hit from Rio's harsh words, viewers were laughing, commenting, "Sharp as a tack", "I couldn't help but laugh at Rio's 'you're better suited to building your muscles', his timing is impeccable", and "Why are you so muscular? Hahaha".

The anime "Medalist" is based on a manga serialized in the monthly men's magazine "Afternoon" (Kodansha) by Tsurumaikada. The original work was selected as the first place in the comics department of the "Next Manga Award 2022", and also won the general department of the "68th Shogakukan Manga Award" and the general department of the "48th Kodansha Manga Award". It's a story about a girl, Inori Yuitsuka (voiced by Natsumi Haruse), who longs for the world of figure skating, and Tsukasa Akeuraji, a former figure skater who became her coach, teaming up to aim for the medalist.

Episode 11 "Dance the Night"
【Synopsis】
The summer camp of Lux Higashiyama FSC started, and Inori set the completion of the double axel as her goal. On the other hand, Tsukasa proposed to support Rio's practice, who submitted a blank goal achievement sheet, but Rio rejected it because Tsukasa has no track record as a single player.
