THE FEELS. Almost cried there for a moment. Cute kohai back it up a bit -- the third year climbers have the best rivalry. Best. ( ≧Д≦)

Perfect episode from start to finish.

I was surprised that Makishima not only caught up, but they finished the duel in the same episode.

The feels in the first part, the boring middle part, and the hype in the last part!

The middle
Jinpachi!
Maki-chan!
Jinpachi!
Maki-chan!
Jinpachi!
Maki-chan!
went a bit overboard for me. I am satisfied with the results. The only part I don't mind Sohoku winning is the last part with captain vs captain, the sprint and hill climb should have won by Hakone, which the hill climb one did.

I loved watching the duel between Toudou and Makishima.

Now if only Onoda would stop looking terrified at everything and stop being awkward for more than two seconds.

Edit: Also I love how Toudou acts like a crazy doting girlfriend towards Makishima.

That bromance. Maki-chan would have won if he started at the same time.

Pretty much because he is one.

I'm really happy for Toudou that he got his battle with Makishima. Even though Maki lost, it was a great rivalry and so adrenaline pumping to watch. Oh man, Kinjou is making his move. Excited to see the battle between captains!

I can't say enough how much i liked this episode. I felt so emotional, this episode was outstandingly done, when i'm gonna think about the score for this anime i will remember this amazing episode. I really felt for Jinpachi <3 He was riding so saddened by the fact that Maki-chan isn't there and they cant finish their score. It really hurt watching it :( he loves being a center of attention, and even with all those guys rooting for him and even girls, he was unaffected, he just wanted the race to end. He couldn't even believe that Maki-chan caught up to him, and when he was reassured he was so happy <3 He is so grateful to Onoda for making his wish to race Maki-chan come true and ofcourse he is grateful a lot to Makishima, the guy who made him faster, the guy who gave his life a better meaning. He has so much fun going against him <3 Honestly amazing job by seyuu, depicting those emotions, made me really feel for him. if i wasn't liking Jinpachi before i sure as hell do now. It's also their last summer,their last fight, this moment is so special for him.

And let me talk about the race, damn they were both at their limit and they both put a lot of efforts at that race. Both were really happy at the end even though Makishima lost he still was happy he got to race against him at the end of their final race. I loved that moment so much where Makishima was saying how much he is grateful to him too, and he hates to admit but he's been a great rival. I never thought i would hear that from Makishima, cause i thought he saw Jinpachi as no more than a nuisance, but here he is saying how much he is important to him.Btw Makishima was calling him Toudou last episode and in this episode when they were alone he called him Jinpachi <3 <3 <3
I loved the part where they both missed a high five LOL that was unusual and nice :P

Kanzaki was right tho, those who lose have their head down and those who win look at the sky. So true lol, just like in the race that Tadokoro won, Naruko's head was down.
That sudden intensity at the end tho. It's time to bring out the ACES. Imaizumi looks serious af now.
IKUZE IMAIZUMI. HAI. -WE'll TAKE THE FINISH LINE. -HAI-

MAN, I love both Jinpachi and Maki-chan so much that I wanted both of them to win ;w; My heart hurt so bad, every time Jinpachi mentioned how time is fleeting or what a good three years it's been I get hit by a rock. I don't want to hear it! *shiet* There was so much Jinpachi in this episode, he's one of my favorite characters and I'm really glad <3

Awesome episode.

That was a great race between the two, absolutely love their rivalry.
The only thing about the episode that I find awkward is how unprepared Onoda for the race informatively speaking, like "let's take him to the race and not tell him what it's all about beforehand".

I think this is my favorite episode so far, Makishima and Toudou has such a strong and believable relationship. Their battle after all that has happened in previous episodes was so satisfying to experience. I'm so glad it ended up being as close to a tie as possible.

I ship this two ❤ Jinpachi x Makishima! They are so cute :*
It's really boring / you loss motivation if you don't compete with the person you like to defeat :(
The way Makishima rides look tiring ! But I agree that Jinpachi will be the Mountain God..

Too bad for Makishima, tho he started 3min later and did still great. Then again, Toudou didn't go all out either until it was against his precious Maki-chan. That was a good fight.

Final stage of day one, it's time for the all rounder and aces.

I wonder what the outcome would've been if Onoda was pulling the team from the start so Makishima wouldn't have that 3 min delay to catch up from. Still fantastic to see him and Toudou hold their long anticipated final race to settle the score once and for all.

Re-watching this anime for the 3rd time because their current season has a huge gap from the last one. It seemed like a good time for a re-watch, too. Anyway!

Todou x Makishima is my favorite pair/rivals in the whole series. They have this chemistry that is so natural and they're both fun to watch. Each is my favorite character from each team, too. They respect each other, care about each other, and look up to each other. That's wonderful. Also, Makishima isn't the type to text or call people but he kinda puts up with Todou's calls multiple times a week lol! I'm sure there were a lot of missed calls, too, basing on the extra scene after credits. XD

It was interesting to see (again) Todou having everything but then it didn't matter to him because his "Maki-chan" wasn't there. Victory, people's cheers (attention), fangirls - nothing mattered when he was racing there alone. Life only came back to his eyes the moment he saw Makishima. He was so overwhelmed by emotions and Makishima was, too. Their promise was fulfilled. Love the episode. <3

Thrilling conclusion to the battle between Makishima and Toudou for the peak! This anime, and the manga as well, inspired me to get back into bike-riding. Thank you, Mr. Watanabe!
