LOL, that's some nice hair tbh. Flashy.

Regardless, Midousuji still creeps me out. Still really intense episode though and I think Hakone as a chance. I like how the wind picked up a bit though this episode. NO dead weight on their team!

Not even a single glimpse of Souhoku this episode!

Midousuji treating his team as disposable pawns and is willing to abandon everything for victory. Seeing the sprinters of Kyoto Fushimi getting abandoned and breaking down. Midousuji goes on about what it takes to win.
The old ace of Kyoto Fushimi don't seem that bad of a person. The other 2 seems to be already converted.
Watching Toudou and Fukutomi fighting against the four while waiting for their teammates were pretty nice. A push to break the team back together!
8Km until the finish line... Sohouku should come soon! A Midousuji episode, watching his sprints and his tongue... eh >.>

Midousuji is so lame. I feel sorry for him.

I'm so sad Sohoku wasn't in this episode! Second to last episode of the season I mean! T_T

A new character will appear in s2, I hope he's not a crazy type.

Sohoku didn't get much screen time at all this time. I'm sure the next episode will be an amazing season finale though.
My signature is lame...

Midousuji abandoning his teammates was expected. Though initially, Fukutomi's 'cold' attitude was a bit surprising.

Feel bad for Kyoto Fushimi's sprinters. Poor guys..
Izumida almost gave up. Good thing Manami noticed his troubled state and so he regained his composure.

A little flashback of Ishigaki. He had such a nice dream of forming an awesome team. Too bad, Midousuji's debut totally crushed his dream..

Fukutomi's is probably right about all of his teammates being Aces, since they're coming from the back once again. Lets go Hakone!

PV for next season -- A new enemy? He looks pretty epic!

Imaizumi watching "Love Hime" doesn't seems surprising anymore. XD
I hope they still keep the "Hime" song in next season too!

I doubt Sohoku is going to be in the next episode. It is probably going to be Hakone comeback.

Also they make such a big deal about sohoku having 4 and kyoto having 6 before. Yet when midousuji does it, it is the best plan ever. Why doesn't anyone just say that there is another day?

Seriously, Midousuji is just awesome. He's so creepy and one of my favorite antagonists. I can't wait for next week's day 2 finish.

It should also be noted that the ending bit this week was my favorite ever. LOVE HIME 4EVA

The next episode is entitled 'The Soul of Sohoku'... I think there's a 99% chance of them taking center stage next episode :P

Poor Ishigaki. His dream of having a good team totally crushed by Midousuji. And the episode feels too short. Maybe because there was no Sohoku at all. Last episode next week!

Lol I was waiting for half the episode for him to say "we have no dead weight."

But seriously way too much Midousuji. It's ridiculous that he went all out like that and won sprinter, and now he won mountain too. It's about time for him to fall apart and get crushed like the insect he is.

Next week is either going to be a huge cliffhanger or it's going to rush the ending of the race. Either way I'm not so pleased. They did a good job with this part though.

Also the new character is an jerk, be prepared.

I am 1000% stoked for Love Hime Season 2. STOKED. new OP?

This episode was difficult to watch. I wouldn't say it was bad, but it was very negative. I'm not used to Yowapeda stewing in this much negativity.

Imaizumi though. Gambare. <3

Next week, next weeeeeek~

Yep, this episode had a different feel compared to the others... but I think that it was still important to include it. Especially in sports anime, I love getting to know the opposite teams (although I was yearning for some Shohoku).
Can't wait for the last episode; I wonder how they're gonna cut it off (show down at the finish line at the end of the 2nd day?? or a massive cliffhanger?? geez lil bit of suspense there)

I guess you like Kuroko - it's the same story. Bunch of random first years joined top schools and became aces in no time. Midosouji is like Generation of Miracles in KnB - a genius.

I loled when after a whole episode of Fukutomi being presented as an asshole who abandoned his team, he just said: "We never had any dead weight."
"There's no shame in falling down... true shame is to not stand up again!"

"Aah? Of course I won't miss!"

"My blood tastes like Iron."

"Run through the tape in life! Never give up! Run through the tape!"

I said it before, I will say it again, somebody please push Midousuji off a fvcking cliff. And if you don't want to kill the character, at least spread his a-hole-ness across more episodes. 15-20 minutes of Midousuji bragging and towntalking everyone is just too damn unbearable.

Can't wait for the episode in season 2 when we will get his backstory and everyone will be expected to go "Oh, he had a troublesome past, no wonder he turned out that way, I now feel sorry for him", should be hilarious.

There goes Midousuji again, discouraging and destroying everyone's will to ride.
Really starting to like Hakone's team spirit and how they have each others back.
I really want to see Midousuji lose, no matter what the team.
Also, Souhoku needs more screen time :c

Getting real tired of Midosuji's creepy face and asshole attitude. My favorite part of the episode was the end clip, it's funny to see how much of a fan Imaizumi has become of Love Hime.

I hope the final end clip is Onoda, Taura, and Imaizumi all singing the theme song lol.

As someone who has read the manga I can tell you that is not the case at all. He is a character who appears in the 3rd day of the interhigh.

The love hime season 2 thing was a joke though.

It looks like Midousuji wants to ruin the show, not winning the Interhigh, he seriously talks too much, also his body movement is ridiculous, nobody can ride a bike at high speed in such a way. He is not believable in the least, just a psycho clown from outer space. A shame this good show has to rely on such an over the top villain.

Midousuji might be a really bad antagonist of the show but you guyz don't realize what he is pulling off with such ease.

In the first day he was in the pack controlling the masses and then he unleashed himself like a bullet and not only caught up with the 2 strongest teams of the InterHigh but also almost won the first day by finishing in the same time as the aces of Sohoku and Hakone all by himself(!). He didn't have an assistant to pace him or push him before the finale and he still (almost) beat them. Then the 2nd day, he fought against Hakone's strongest sprinter, he won the sprint race then he still had the power to continue racing (unlike Shinkai who was so tired he barely kept up with the team) and all that while planning and lowering the enemy team's morale. Also, don't forget he won the king of mountain tag as well by forcing the Hakone's Mountain god to protect and pace their ace.

Strategy, morale control, crowd control and performance, all from a first year road racer!

He is outragously despicable for all the crap he is pulling and sure he will lose in the next episode because he didn't calculate some stuff correctly but he is still the strongest racer so far in the Inter High.
