mayukachan said: Intense. I was in shock when he won, even if I got spoiled already by MAL. lol To the Midousuji critiquers: I would agree with what you're saying but I read some manga spoilers and...He's not just a crazy villain. He's still a teenager like the rest of them and he has a reason for fighting. TWO EPISODES LEFT!!! How will they conclude this show?! It's either they finished the Inter-High or they will continue it to the 2nd season. |

| ^ Darn. It's gonna be a big cliffhanger then LOL. I gotta catch up on the manga... |
UubTay said: no one think it was weird that he was going all out just to take the sprinter checkpoint? I thought the guy only cared about the finishline? How will he have the energy to take that, he even released that nonsensical limiter. No, it was actually part of his plan. He just had to win. You see, by beating Hakogaku's fastest sprinter he broke the team's spirit and now they are falling appart, so basically no team can beat him now to the finish line. He is, of course, not considering Sohoku, since he thinks they've already fallen apart. This pretty much means Sohoku will win simply because Midousuji went all out when he wasn't supposed to and he's probably somewhat tired now. |
 |
| Happy Midousuji is the creepiest shit ever lolno I'm not gonna get near to him Good to see that Imaizumi's getting back to believe in the team after all the angst and being emo bc of Midousuji But sad to see HakoGaku's team spirit went downhill hmmm LOL HAKOGAKU HAS MIGHTY FINE AND WEIRD SPRINTERS /notcomplainingtho/ Hayato and his infinity supplies of snacks at his back..hmm And uhhh Izumida.....UUHHHHHHH |
 |
| OMGGGGGG I knew Shinkai would lose, but I hated watching it actually happen. I hope he passes Midousuji on the last day and does his Ka-pow thing while he leaves him in the dust! |
| "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 really like Shinkai. I'm upset that he lost too but Onoda & Tadokoro catching up to Sohoku... THAT WAS SO TOUCHING OKAY. This was one of the best feel-good moments I've experienced watching a sports series. |
 |
| Best part of this episode probably was... Tadokoro: "Onoda, should we sing to lift our spirits?" Honestly, this 'hime hime' song is what makes this anime so special and fun.:) And that Akira Midosuji dude. he's like personification of everything that's evil... kinda like some creation of Mayuri Kurotsuchi, made by using Orochimaru's seed, lol. I don't even care about his backstory, he's beyond any grace by now.:/ |
| I truly cannot understand how the editor/mangaka thought this would be a good conclusion to the sprint check point race, Midosuji is truly trash and I never say this but god damn he's overpowered as fuck. I don't care what his "heavy burden" is but those ass pulls are really ruining the serie for me. I understand it's a shounen anime and a sports one so I expect some power ups but this is fucking bullshit. He's a fucking first years and Hayato has been said to be the "best sprinter in the entire race" so how the fuck did he keep up with him? It's absolute bullshit. That piece of trash is so conviently written that he always has an extra "hidden power" and I bet you that he can suddenly race full power again to get the King of the Mountain checkpoint/sprint to the finish too, like he doesn't get tired and those 6 new power ups are totally justified. I don't care what his background story is, if his mother died or he was a lonely child or abused or ignored or what the fuck, he's one of the worst written characters I've ever come across and it pulls down the entire serie, I don't understand what the hell they were thinking when they agreed to pull all those bull shit actions in the manga. |
Vexper said: Midousuji is such a garbage character, it's like they've shoehorned every filthy shonen cliche into him, impossibly random power ups which addle your mind trying to make sense of them, flat zombie sidekicks who'll do his bidding, mindless acts of villainy until fully explained later on when we don't care anymore, being better at roles that people are hyped up as specializing in. I know this is a shonen and you can just say "Well what do you expect from a shonen?" Well I'd expect them to create a character that feels like he actually belongs in the universe, I can handle it if he's just an extraordinary character who is just good at everything, they're in nearly every competition based anime, but Midosuiji honestly looks like Orochimaru riding a bike. You're acting like the protagonists aren't also cliche as fuck shonen characters, and don't get the same fucking power-ups. The only reason you hate Midousuji is because the author wanted you too, despite him being the most entertaining character. Stop acting like this show is anything original, it's as generic as sports shows get. |
| Midosuji needs to get a backstory, I want to know his motivations. It was heartwarming when the entire team meet up! Ahhh. |
| wtf...how could they have caught up? onoda and tadokoro didn't pass the feed zone yet. |
| kimosuji keep rocking the show for me . |
| "This is my father's crime against me, which I myself committed against none" Al-ma'arri |
| How the hell did Midosouji win like that... Really made me dislike the anime for the first time. It's not like it's possible,but you are more likely to fall than cross the finish line. Not to mention that Shinkai is a faster sprinter than him, and he needed to use the psychological tricks (his trauma) to win over Shinkai and now at the end after Shinkai overcame his trauma he was going neck in neck to him and even won at the end? That's a bit bullshit. Whatever forget that. I'm just really sad for Shinkai, he was working so hard for it, he thinks now that he failed his team's hopes. Also the despair that the team was feeling after he lost. DAmn.... The team might think that he lost because of his trauma, but that's not true. I hope they will find out that he did his best. I wonder what Imaizumi meant by "I carry something heavier" Miki and Second years are really me, rooting for Sohoku just like me. And the way they yelled Kinjou is drafting out of joy and surprise is just like me. Also please catch up to the front guys <3 <3 The boys are rooting for Sohoku for sure. So Makishima actually knows and correctly predicted that Onoda will catch up on the climb, damn the trust that Makishima has in Onoda as a fellow climber <3 Onoda pulling Todokoro on the climb is insane, and he's right it is great to have someone riding with you, it's not lonely. Todokoro noticed Onoda's real strength. It's the joy that he is having while cycling which makes it easier for him to pedal. The part where Todokoro said that he is eternally grateful and thanked Onoda for pulling him was insane. Made me emotional... It's Tadokoro's last race, he woulddn't be able to live with the fact that he let his team down in second race. but Onoda helping him out really made him happy that he gets to ride with his team again. And Naruko is right, praise Onoda more. praise him more... It's too insane what this guy did. Going against Makishima's orders to abandon Tadokoro and actually pulled him and caught up to the team is just wow. Real mvp of second day. He didn't even complain once, that's the most incredible thing. Not complaining there really? in the unbearable weather and having to ride on flats, catching up to everyone, he didn't even blame Tadokoro, even once. That's incredible. Onoda you are the man... Everyone now pretty much have a rival in his mind. as they are trying to catch up to them and beat Hakone. Hakone's moral seems to be super low now after losing that race, this is a beauty of being a winner, if you win you get to ride on a high morale boost, if you lose, then damn... you are pretty screwed. just like Hakone there. |
| Whatever it takes, even if it wouldn't be the way you want to win if you care about honor. Can't say I share that sentiment. That stunt was awesome, tho. I mean common, that was fire. Credit where credit is due. These moments with Onoda never get old. With Team Sohoku complete again it's time to attack. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Midousuji may have won the battle to the sprinter checkpoint, but the race isn't over yet! Time for Sohoku's comeback with them hopefully singing Love Hime in full synchrony |
