I'd better damage myself and my relationships in a misguided pursuit to make myself worthy after causing my father's death!"Edefrem said: millo said: It's safe to say that Rin's suffered enough. So many of you haters lack empathy and it's sad.Rin won't be participating in the relay. HAHA. THAT'S WHAT YOU GET FOR BEING A SELFISH WHINY BITCH RIN! HAHA. HA. HA. HA. motherfucker. Well i don't have any little bit of sympathy for him getting ejected from the relay, HE DID IT TO HIMSELF! If he wants to be in a team, he need to interact and socialize with the other team member! Nobody in his team member (except the sissy one) cares about his past because he is such an arrogant prick! RIN NEEDS A REMINDER THAT THE WORLD DOESN'T REVOLVE AROUND HIM! Kudos for the captain for showing the whiny bitch who's the boss. The guy's suffered enough, and though I'm glad Mikobisha took him out of the relay, my heart still broke at his reaction. You really are Rin's number one supporter. So even though Rin brought it on himself and deserves everything that's happening to him, we MUST feel sorry for him? Despite his Douchey behaviour? We can't say he deserves it? WOW. |

| i loved seeing mikoshiba so serious the entire episode |
Opi-chan said: I didn't intend to be lolYou really are Rin's number one supporter. Just seeing some of the insufferable hate he gets and it just sort of happened Opi-chan said: A)I don't think he deserves he's gone through and B) I never said anyone had to feel bad for him. But laughing at him and calling him a whiny bitch for getting kicked of the team is obnoxious So even though Rin brought it on himself and deserves everything that's happening to him, we MUST feel sorry for him? Despite his Douchey behaviour? We can't say he deserves it? WOW. Jfc, how much do you people want him to suffer before your're satisfied? |

| Rei and Rin's confrontation at the start was pretty pathetic and over-dramatic. The rest was mediocre. |
| No Rin vs Rei in the relay? who want RinxRei now instead of RinxHaruka? ;p |

| I really admire Rei. Not only does he work extremely hard, he also talks about his feelings because he doesn't want to build barriers between his friends. He's honest and even confronts an issue directly to solve a problem. I could really use some of that positive energy in my life. |
 |
| The RinxRei scene was a bit too intense for me, and I wish they showed more developments between Rin and Gou... Haru is just love. Edefrem said: Just because he did it to himself doesn't mean you can't feel sorry for him. It's not like he thought, "Hey! I'd better damage myself and my relationships in a misguided pursuit to make myself worthy after causing my father's death!" Causing his father's death? Am I missing something? I thought he died in a boat/fishing accident? |
| 3/5 Episode pulling for long the question of Rin. He would have done it before a dentist to pull a tooth, and the plot does not tell us what was underneath! Bored, in addition to this as well for the many blandishments views during the narration. Design and animations excellent! |
 |
| What a nice episode. ...... Admittedly, I have a huge disgusting grin on my face from start to finish. "D'awww, look at those 2 screaming their stress out on each other" "D'awww, the way they word things, it's like they're talking about some other things" "D'awww, Nagisa and Rei share secrets" "D'awww, they accepted Rei, and Rei is smiling" "D'awww, the way Ray pouted and say he don't care about Rin anymore" etc etc... So many "D'awww" moments, from start to finish. Cute as fuck episode... ...... I remember back in the first few episode, those things would've made me feel a lil bit uncomfortable... Now I'm accepting and enjoying it... Am I turning gay? |

| Wow, another good episode ... starting off with Rei confronting Rin! Pretty good speech by both sides there ... and more grabbing of the shirts eh ;P Good for Rei to get his answers ... or most of them, anyway! Ah they go to visit Rei! Wheee :3 So everyone's pumped up for the relay :D Sorry Nishida ... but you're so annoying >_< Just go away, please :( More Haru moments with Makoto first then Nagisa :O Saying thank you and everything?! Rei goes to meet with Rin again ... I think it's funny how he never ACTUALLY answered how he "felt" about Haru (lol that question ... seriously, ROMCOM! XD) Poor Rin, so he thought the relay "ruined" him? D: Not to mention he got taken out of the relay ... oh god, what are we gonna see in the finale?! |
| Pretty okey episode, for some reason though it went more feel then actual action but well the development is still quite decent so lets see what the last episode of this season has to offer! |
 |
| Rei really shined here, he should have beaten up Rin :3 |
| Rei-kun, you so kawaii ;~; LOL; imma be honest here and say that occasionally, I do cringe at the sappy, gay-like moments in this anime LOLOLOLOLLLLL. My Iwatobi boys are still adorable af doe hahaha <3 Still, that's intense. Whatchu gon do, Rin? :3 |
| Rei confronting Rin was really great and now he's part of the team. Plus Haru seems happy but now Rin is cut from relay!!! What?! Oh no. |
 |
| THAYS WHAT I THO |
| Seems like all of Rei's question has been answered. stephtastrophe said: Rei confronting Rin was really great and now he's part of the team. Plus Haru seems happy but now Rin is cut from relay!!! What?! Oh no. Rei is getting closer and closer to the team. I wanna see their match on relay but Rin is out for relay. |
| Rei is the best. He's like the overprotective big brother of the group. And sometimes an idiot. |
| Woah , Rin won't swin in relay :/ Rei can be serious :) |
| Huge Makoto x Haruka moments when Haruka thanked Makoto. |
| So Rei confronted Rin-chan-san. Asked him questions, and BAM! Whoa. That was too much for me to handle orz Also, Rin isn't part of the relay anymore. Nuuu... |
 “Even if the attention isn’t forever, I’ll keep singing.” |
| I really loved the scene between Rin and Rei! <3 And it was about time for Rin to man up! |

| i remember when i first watched this it took me months to watch the last episode because i didn't want it to end. then the second season came and i didn't watch it. now i'm just as pumped for the finale as i was then. omg, i can't even remember how it ended... |
  |
| The decission trainer was successful, because is you are not 100% is better choose a other that can win!!! |
| "Haru stopped competing because of you" wasn't he not competing in the first place? And he's started back up again so what's the problem exactly? I thought he only swum free and that was his excuse used in several cases to keep him from doing competitive swimming. Ugh, this show is getting more and more inconsistent to keep up its contrived conflicts. At least we finally got an explanation as to why Rin is like this - it took stupidly wrong but its acceptable reason enough. I'll take it and move onto the final episode. Mmmm, melon bread and barley tea sounds good. |
 |
| That scene was a bit intense. Finally, Rei said what he had to say to Rin. We learn more about what happened to him in Australia. They took Rin out of the team relay but I think that it was the right decision. |
| All weebs creatures of the galaxy, hear this message. Those of you who listen will not be struck by western animation. You will no longer know hunger, nor pain. Your Anime have come to lead you now. Our strength shall serve as a luminous sun toward which all intelligence may blossom. And the impervious shelter beneath which you will prosper. However, for those who refuse our offer and cling to their western animation ways… For you, there will be great wrath. |
| The drama here is so lame. Also, Nitori is the most annoying guy, why is he even in this show, every time he says something is only for Rin to answer "nandemonai". |
  |
| Also in this episode, the usual hysterias are again to be seen, but I have to admit that the construction of the story is very good and all the dark points of the plot find an answer. However, the cliffhanger is not bad. |
 |
| Pretty overdramatic "confrontation" between Rei and Rin if I'm honest but at least I'm glad the former showed some nerve and didn't flinch nor back down. Props to Rei, he has become a really consistent character throughout the series and not the usual comic relief character like Nagisa, for example. Another decent episode. Rin's explanation of why he changed doesn't really convince me... not to mention that I can't believe he didn't even think that there might be way better swimmers than him and Haru out there but well. One more episode to go. |

| They couldn't sleep, as they're so excited, but hopefully they'll do well. Rin's "answer" to Rei at the end seemed more like a psych out attempt. I hope that Rei doesn't let it get to him. |
 |
| Wow.. The beginning was so dramatic. Rin and Rei had a pretty bad argument. Wait.. Rin is off the relay? That was a bit shocking, but I kinda understand the captain's decision. Anyway, I'm so excited about the tournament. |
 |
| This episode felt like 10 minutes but also an hour long at the same time. So much happened. I loved how they began and ended with Rin and Rei talking. First Rei seeks Rin out (their argument was intense! Wowza!) and then Rin seeks to meet Rei towards the end (and their conversation is more level-headed/calm). I'm sad to see Rin kicked off the relay but understandably so - he ignores all his teammates, and I guess that went for his potential relay team too. He's not good at being a teammate or a team player. I feel bad for his roommate/teammate - that guy needs to break and give Rin the push Rin needs in order to grow (in a positive way) |
