Good episode although the pacing slowed down a little.

It picked up in the second half and damn, some riders really are giving it their all.
>MOVE OUT OF THE WAY!

That push was awesome. I'm not a big fan of Arakita but the race was pretty intense.

Midosuji comes in without an assistant?!?
The fight to ride for the finish line... Imaizumi is growing stronger!!!
Arakita's way of racing was crazy, a bicycle beating a scooter!
Pushing themselves to their limits, yet another intense episode.

OMG that Midosuji creppy face seriously got me goosebump.
It was a nice race between Imazuima and Arakita, half of episode cover Arakita backstory. :D

Holy Shit! The ending was creepy as HELL XDXD

After all the build up for the 2 Aces to ride to the finish line like that...F***n Midosuji appears out of no where O_O

Lol'd at Arakita's flashbacks XD He was quite the loser XD Lol'd so much at the cat during the post credit scene hehehe

Imaizumi getting aggressive at the end was nice to see :D Nice seeing the first years all show what they're made off during the first day ^^

Can't wait for nxt ep :D Gonna be awesome!

I liked Arakita's back story. It was pretty cool. And I was wondering when that bastard Midousuji was going to make his move.

Arakita's monologue was quite funny!
-- "Don't give me that. You do your best. You stupid spectators!" XD
His flashback was pretty good too.

Liked the way Imaizumi changes from being a 'good boy' at the last moment! XD

Where did Midousuji come from? O.o
We're about to see some crazy poses in the next episode. XD

End segment with 1st year Arakita and that cat. Such a nice relationship they have. XD

Good episode. Though felt like a lot of time was spent on Arakita's flashback. Still, not bad.

Great ep.

Really liked Arakita's back story and Imaizumi's determination.

Damn... Midosuji, that was unexpected o.o

lol The Omake. The cat became so fat XDDD

EDIT: Found this, Shingeki no Midosuji:

Imaizumi and Arakita did pretty well in supporting their Aces.
Now that damn Midousuji entered, he's a dangerous enemy.

For some reason they have moved all the flashbacks from the 3rd day forward, which makes me wonder what they will do if they ever make a second season. Arakita's flashback is during one of my favourite moments in the manga with his character :/.

Also weird that they didn't show any of the shots hinting towards Midousuji's catch up. Seemed odd with him just being there.

Arakita's past self. LOL DAT HAIR SERIOUSLY. And his meeting with Fuku was just weird. Someone's about to beat you up and you tell them to move on. XD

Well besides that, that ending was fabulous! Midousuji just catching up like that was epic. I didn't expect that at all, and he looked characteristically creepy. 500m left!!

I was wondering at the beginning of the episode where has the creepy guy gone, and I thought he'll play a big role in the second day, well, it's a surprise he showed alone at the end.

Certainly Imaizumi and Arakita are wild beasts on the road, but that Midosuji guy. He is like a monster with a twisted mind (and face) to be able to catch up with the aces all alone by himself in that long gap in such a short time. Eww seriously so gross.

We only had now few episodes left for this series, will the race event be finish by then? I hope so too but surely by then atleast we will experience another miracle from Onoda. Go Souhoku!

I just knew Midousuji will pop up somewhere...like hell he's going to let anyone besides him win.
Neverthless, it was an awesome episode with lots of flashbacks, not really a fan of Arakita here, but his and Fuku's past is really interesting.

I would certainly love to know more about Akira Midosuji and how did he became like this. No human is bad from the birth, it's just life that shapes our personalities and this Akira dude probably saw tons of crap in his life, maybe even to such extent that is not fit to this anime. xD Also, from omake we see that Arakita is actually a nice guy, even too nice, unfortunately for that cat.

Flashback again? Damn. I don't like the fact Imaizumi is actually keeping up with Arakita, but I guess I could accept that he couldn't get past Arakita. Captain vs Captain should be good, but Midousuji, wow, he just came out of nowhere lol wtf, without any assistant, that's too much to be honest..

You mean to tell me the 2 captains did not worked hard? Or you mean to say Midousuji is league above those 2 in talent?
