Coach Oop shows up and sends Jeff to the principal's office for breaking Max's arm or something. The kids tell Spender one of the teachers is Hijacked. Cue in media res.

So, one thing. Johnny caught the ball. Alright, Burnhounds are all in. But... isn't Max now on Jeff's team? Assuming this isn't now completely over on account of an injured player, just like Jeff wanted? Did the rules cover 'one person gets hit but another catches it before it hits the ground'?

Again, if you ever forget how hitball works, just watch the dodgeball game in Hunter x Hunter

VictorGrunn posted:So, one thing. It's a standard dodgeball thing that if you hit someone but someone else catches it on the rebound before it hits the ground, the hit doesn't count and you're out. Got the Golden Switch Hitball just changes the part about you being out, instead having you stay in to face the shame of bringing the entire enemy team off the bench.

Mystic Mongol posted:Oh, you poor, poor fools. Jeff isn't out. The rest of the Burnhounds are in! Except Max's arms are broken, so Jeff is going to be sent to the office, which was, you know, the whole point of this game in the first place. From Max's point of view the game is over because Jeff is out of balls, so his plan worked but Hijack still got what he really wanted. The big question now is whether or not Max will catch on and hide his injuries until the bell. The Burnhounds might gently caress things up by throwing balls at Hijeff, but Zack already said the arc is just about over.

Hard to say how badly Max is injured with that cracking, since he's present in the one-panel shot of running feet on the first page of the chapter so presumably if he'd broken an arm he'd be out of action.

It's also possible that even if he is injured he is going to try to tough it out and pretend he is okay.

I just read the chapter from the beginning, and hitball flows really nicely that way, with the exceptions of the boring stuff (i.e. when everyone's monologueing/providing explanations/detailing their masterplans). I had forgotten small important things that happened along the way, like the fact that Suzy is still documenting, and supplying Max with a wire. When you read it in one long go, you can't tell that it took the greater part of 2015 to churn out. Webcomics are like TV episodes, in that they're nice to watch as they air so you can...air your grievances and flip out over the good poo poo, but they're even better when you're drunk and binge-watching them on Netflix. I like hitball again, but I can't wait for Hijack to gently caress off to the teacher's lounge.

We also got awesome stuff like seeing Dimitri in action, learning that Coty is some kind of killing machine, and experiencing the heartbreaking near-offscreen drama of the hitball twins.

Alright, thanks for the clarification. I knew if the ball hit -you- and you caught it before it hit the ground, you were safe. It was the whole 'ricochets off you' thing that had me wondering.

Like the rest of this arc, they're using pretty much the Hunter x Hunter volleyball arc rules - until the ball touches the ground it is live, catching a live ball gets the thrower out.

Well they could always use those healing ghosts that float around. I mean, fricking Johnny took Max's scooter right on the face and that ghost healed up pretty drat well. I think Isabelle gave Max one after that racist ghost encounter, so I wouldn't be surprised if she could find another one quickly. Still props to Max actually acting like the Main Character!

Max's arms might be hosed though, so maybe (given that Hijack's goal is to get in the teacher's lounge, not win at hitball)

It's a little hard to gauge, since I'm not sure how graphic Zach would make it look if Max's arms were seriously injured.
