Oblivion Battery Episode 12 Review + Final Thoughts - Baseball Is Fun
What’s interesting about Oblivion Battery is that this is one of the rare cases where a sports anime does not have a big focus on matches in a big tournament. Instead, they chose to focus more on practice matches. Practice matches aren’t high stakes, yet they’re still treated as such here. While it’s not a bad thing, I just find that interesting given that they’re in a public school with a barebones baseball team. Hence why the match against Hikawa High wraps up quickly for this finale.
It’s good that Kei developed and managed to hit Makita’s pitch. It was an important hit, after all. I liked how Haruka was confident that Kei will hit it because he has always been practicing with him. If Kei can keep up with Haruka’s pitches, then other pitchers are no match for him. It helped Shunpei get to home base with his speed and finally proving to Makita that his style of baseball is ideal for him. It helped Kotesashi get a win against a big named school. Most of all, it helped Kei develop a love for baseball in his amnesiac state. The way he was all excited in his room was very nice to look at.
While the finale is nice and all, there still hasn't been a concise answer to how or why Kei lost his memories or if he’s suffering from Dissociative Identity Disorder. All that’s shown is that he seemed to have a burnout from baseball and everything he did as the Commander, which included “killing” potential baseball monsters to help Haruka get on top, probably took a toll on him mentally. He watched a slice of life anime and realized that his life was full of stress and he was missing out on the mundane aspects of life like eating snacks, going to a store and searching for love and peace. That’s why his amnesiac self always repeated the same things he saw from that anime. It’s also unsure how the change from Kei to Commander Kei happened. Was it really hypnosis or over exhaustion? I guess I would have to read the manga to find out.
Kei’s gradual change from disliking baseball to falling in love with it was interesting to see. He does things at his own pace, so it was eventual that he’d fall in love with baseball once again. I do have a feeling that the Commander never loved baseball genuinely, hence why the amnesia caused him to regress. The current Kei wants to surpass the Commander, so I do wonder how powerful Kei will become with that declaration now.
It’s unknown whether this anime will get a season 2, but it would be nice to see where Kotesashi will go from here if it’s possible. If there is no Season 2, then this finale is a great way for new viewers to dive into the manga to see what happens next. What are your thoughts on this anime as a whole?
Final Thoughts
There are those animes that have a bad first impression, but does get better later on. Oblivion Battery is one of those. First-time viewers may be put off by how annoying Kei was—I certainly was too—but if you persevered, it’s actually pretty good. However, I do admit that Aoi and Shunpei were the main reasons why the anime is good because those two saved the show with their antics.
Did you know that ‘Boukyaku’ can also mean ‘forgetful’ in Japanese? That’s the premise of this show! Because Kei lost his memories, he regressed from Lv. 100 to Lv 1 and had to reteach himself the basics and fundamentals of baseball. Kei learning about baseball is also helping first-time viewers with the sport too. I learned a lot about positions, how to score points and how important a battery is to the sport. I do feel like the author is very familiar with the sport to be writing about it.
While sports animes can be comical, the comedy in Oblivion Battery can be hit or miss. Kei’s Nipple Hair gag can get old, but all the meta jokes were hilarious. I think Episode 8 was the best when it came to comedy because all my favorite moments came from that episode from Haruka pouting to Mamoru Miyano making an actual cameo.
Learning about Aoi and Shunpei’s past was also a highlight because it’s fascinating to see how two baseball aces fell from grace due to their own personal issues. It shows that you can be your own worst enemy. Aoi was riddled with personal guilt which caused him to develop yips. He ran away from his problems by getting into fights, but when he decided to reform and attend Kotesashi, he realized that he still loved baseball even with his guilt and issues. For Shunpei, he was insecure about the things he lacked which he denied until a one-off comment made him realize that he was deluding himself into believing he wasn’t insecure all this time. Heck, even someone like Kazuki had his own issues with baseball as he couldn’t deal with a suffocating hierarchy system, showing that some clubs functioned in a toxic manner. My only gripe was not getting a Yamada backstory. The guy is the POV character, give me his backstory!
I guess my only gripe of this anime is that the team sort of lacks proper management? Like they still don’t have a coach or anyone to train them properly so they still feel like newbies aura-wise? I guess I might have to dive into the manga to see if they will get a coach later on. Also, Yamada was the POV character, yet he’s mainly in the shadows compared to Haruka and Kei, who are the real stars of the show.
The voice cast is actually very strong for an obscure sports anime like this. The five main characters are voiced by either big names or rising stars. Big name voice actors include Toshiki Masuda as Haruka, Mamoru Miyano as Kei, Yuki Kaji as Yamada and Nobunaga Shimazaki as Shunpei. Rising stars include Yohei Azakami as Aoi. I like the mix-match of big and rising stars for the cast. The supporting cast is no joke either. There’s Tomokazu Sugita as Teitoku’s coach, Takeo Otsuka, another rising star, as Kokuto, and Kengo Kawanishi as Kirishima. MAPPA really does pour a lot of money into a good voice cast.
The music and animation are pretty decent for MAPPA standards. The opening song is good, but when you realize the band is Mrs. Green Apple and then you look up the recent controversy they had regarding a rather questionable music video…yeah. But the opening song is still addicting. The ending song is a little meh. The animation is pretty good, especially with all the meta stuff, but Episode 11 is when it amped up a lot and looks amazing.
Oblivion Battery may not be the ideal baseball anime. I wouldn’t really recommend this as a baseball anime because it’s so short, but if you still like sports shows, I’m not going to prevent you from trying this anime out. It’s still a good show despite its many flaws. If you watched this show, what are your thoughts?

Oblivion Baseball Episode 8 Review - Center Fielder
This show is back after a one week break and now a new character joins the Kotesashi Baseball club because the team needs a center fielder. Kazuki Tsuchiya is an otaku who likes playing baseball games, but had a bad experience in a baseball team that he is not keen on the idea of joining the team despite having the talent for it.
This episode is was so funny. I think it’s the funniest one by far for me because I was chuckling through many of the jokes and I didn’t find Kei annoying! This is a good culmination of the group’s dynamic and the role each member play other than their respective baseball positions. Haruka is the himbo. Aoi is the angry one. Shunpei is the smartass. Kei is the dumb comic relief. Yamada is the voice of reason. I think that Kazuki will fit right into the group’s dynamic as the nice, shy guy in the midst of these crazy baseball people.
Kazuki is an otaku, but he’s also the type who gives up a bit easily. Like how he ran away from the baseball team back in middle school after experiencing a hard time with a team that relies too much on hierarchy, he’s traumatized by anything related to 3D baseball, but still loves the sport as he plays 2D baseball games. It was actually cool seeing what he could do. He can even outrun Shunpei, who’s known for his speed. I really liked the part where he discovers his talent for jump catches. This would definitely be helpful for matches if someone were to hit a ball towards the outfield. I also like the gag of Kei bringing Kazuki to the team and being proud of finding a center fielder because he didn’t want to be caught slacking off.
He’s voiced by Yoshitaka Yamaya. While he is a voice actor I’m not too familiar with, I still know some of his past roles. He is the voice actor of Iori Hida (Cody in the English dub) of Digimon Adventure 02 sequel films, notably in Kizuna and The Beginning. His voice being soft but high-toned does fit his shy nature in a way. I also think that this is a nice way to give the voice actor some exposure too.
I also like that despite this being a Kazuki-centric episode, there’s also tension between Aoi and Kei as Kei is having tantrums over the harsh training and Aoi keeps being harsh towards him. While Aoi doesn’t hate Kei, it’s more of a motivated vs unmotivated conflict between the two that eventually gets resolved at the end. There’s also tension between Aoi and Shunpei who don’t see eye-to-eye when it comes to training. They have a brains and brawn type of dynamic with Shunpei being a more calculative person while Aoi is just an angry jock.
Now that Kazuki is officially on the team, I wonder what will happen next. The opening took out Kokuto and put in two new characters that I’m not too familiar with. Are they the next opponents for the group? There’s also a post-credit scene where it seemed to have been from the past as Kei was talking to Haruka in a calm manner that’s different from his current self. He says something rather ominous to him and it could be a factor to why Kei lost his memories. What are your thoughts on this episode?
