| Touching episode. Made me mad respect Naruko big time |
| "There comes a time.... when a real man must stay and fight.... When a true friend's dream... is laughed at by someone.... Luffy is not dead, he's going to be the Pirate King someday I know he will!!!..... and that is one thing I will never let you laugh at! NEVER!" ~Usopp |
| Naruko ... my respect to you my bro ! |
| Anyone else find it unintentionally hilarious when Naruko was looking in the opposite direction to Onoda? There was a change in the ED showing his blindness, also the end card featured Onoda doing a liftoff.  |
 |
| I'd so like to write a wall of text about the whole temp blindness thing but I figured I'd pass. We all know this anime (and the vast majority of its genre pals) takes huge liberties with the human body and what it can do to achieve drama. I'm glad the team has reached Hakone. Next up it's time for "Hotshot" to shine apparently. The end scene was great again. I wouldn't mind a Yowapeda short ep series if it dealed with their non-racing stuff the way these do. |
| I'M SO PROUD OF MY FAVORITE YOWAPEDA CHARACTER T.T NARUKOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO </3 The feels... |

Well, it was certainly exaggerated when he couldn't see Onoda on his left side, and I don't know if the oxygen explanation makes sense. But seeing blurry during intense sports and passing out is a real thing. |
| RIP Naruko. |
| Another one bites the dust ;__; |
| the official MAL hall of fame/cursed comments is now open for business - you are welcome to PM me any potential quotes to include |
| That was so fucking awesome. I genuinely got chills, also dat ED. |

| Blindness from Dehydration AHHHHHHHHHHHHH EHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH NARUKO T____________________________________________T |
| I've been waiting for this episode ever since reading the manga chapter of it. Just the picture got me on the edge of crying (so emotional~~~), and now the animation and OST.....THE FEELS!!!! I don't understand why ppl thought the whole blind thing is dramatic. It's really normal for me, for anyone who plays sports a lot. It often happens to me when I run like 2 or 3 miles nonstop, feeling like passing out and seeing spots in my vision (but not on Naruko's level). Tres_Bandidas said: Sheeez, with 9 ep left, this anime is just taking long to its finish. Wake me up when they get to the finish line. To finish? You mean this race? Well it should finish soon I suppose. But if you mean the REAL ending of the anime...then it wouldn't happen in a lonnnng time. After all, they're still 1st years, there're 2 more years of Interhigh Races. RediceRyan said: Naruko has been permanently blinded, quite tragic. Wonder how many will cross the finish line Seriously? Did you even watch the episode carefully? Permanently blinded? I'd like to see you in his place. -- And the post credit...lmao, I gotta try that sometimes xP |
| That's something I wanted to ask, do you think there will be a third season or will it end with the second? I'm not totally sure they will consider animating the next years, it took em 2 seasons just for the first interhigh... |
| Ruka desu. |
| fuq this ep was really good, the music fits it too damn well and when naruko starts to hyperventilate the feels starts to kick in. Damn. |
| How do I signature? |
| that was a loud crash at the end. RIP Naruko |
| Dang dose feels. Naruko was great. |
| and another one falls...Naruko-kun!!! Outro/omake is always funny! |
 |
| As much as I love this show and Naruko himself, this is way too dramatic for its own good. |
| Ok so they have 2 climbers left but use their sprinter to pull on the climb because fuck you frienship feels I dont know what kind of strategy that is from sohoku but its clearly not the best one they couldve come up with. Also Onoda is still the same annoying kid he was 50 episodes ago.. everytime he grows as a character he regresses a few minutes later. So annoying. |

Naruko knew he wouldn't be useful in the mountains so he gave all he had at the beginning to reach Hakone. You could say he 'sacrificed' himself. Seems like I decent strategy. |
Sourire said: Also Onoda is still the same annoying kid he was 50 episodes ago.. everytime he grows as a character he regresses a few minutes later. So annoying. The sad thing is, he isn't even the main focus of the show anymore. |
| Wonderful to see my favorite Naruko give his all! |
| It was pretty distressful watching Naruko hurt himself like that, and the sound he made when he hit the ground was awful )': The flashback was really funny though |
| on my way to steal yo girl  |
| honestly the only reason I post on yowapedal ep discussions is because omakes ISHIGAKI UR TOO CUTE but we won't be seeing any more of you ;_; |
 |
| Naruko was awesome! The best thing about it was that I could relate to the "blind" thing, and Naruko's will to catch up to Hakone's, he exhausted every bits of his energy fueled by his will for that, that felt so real. kitten320 said: Was it mentioned that there are only mountains left and no more flats? o_oSourire said: Ok so they have 2 climbers left but use their sprinter to pull on the climb because fuck you frienship feels I dont know what kind of strategy that is from sohoku but its clearly not the best one they couldve come up with. Exactly, 2 climbers. Massive distance to catch up and a finish line to cross while battling a string team. They are not Hakone who are in the lead, Sohoku need to put up twice more effort and there are no more flats, just hill. They need to save up climbers energy as much as possible while sprinters at this stage are disposable. Naruko was able to efficiently pull them and bring 2 powerful climbers towards their enemy. If not for Naruko, there would be 1 extremely worn out climber but they need both of them. This was the best strategy that got them to their goal while keeping climbers strength. I have no idea what you are complaining about. |

| Blind climbing just got me T.T Watching people giving your their 200% of their strength while procrastinating my studies give more feels XD Amazing job Naruko, I also hoped that you'd see the finish line :( |
| My Anime List | |
| Naruko is so freakin' cool. Major respect to him. It was equally painful and inspiring to watch him slowly lose all of his senses as he led the team to Hakone. Jaw dropped and I teared up when he was trying to reassure Onoda but was looking away from him. |
 |
| This was a great episode! I'm even more of a fan of Naruko now. I love how he did his best to overcome the mountains and help the team catch up to Hakone. But the feels when he went blind and dropped out of the race T^T Now I'm wondering if witnessing Naruko's true strength and perseverance and strong will would help Imaizumi grow even more during the rest of the race. |
 |
| Naruko does a sprint climb to show off and reaches hakone then he burns out. R.IP. |
 |
| Omg Naruko was awesome asf but at the same time insane. This is prob the one of the best episodes for this season.😭👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 |
| aw that made me really sad |
| Narukoooooo..... so much awesome in one little guy. TωT |
 . . . . . ✘ . . . . .DO NOT touch my rice. . . . . . I'm Asian. . . . . . |
| 3 down. When it will finished?? The 3 day competition is toooooooooo long!! I'm impatient already. I hope Sohoku will win this time! |
 |
| Man it's sad to see Naruko go... he really gave it his all in his final moments though! I was expecting somebody to catch Naruko as he fell (like what happened every other time some other character was about to fall) so when I heard the crash it really caught me off guard. |
| Naruko did an amazing job. I loved his way of interacting with the cheering fans and that he enjoyed himself to the fullest while doing that. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Naruko sure knows how to make fans and hype them up but damn that end made my heart drop. Absolutely dangerous, reckless yet heroic to see Naruko give it his all to the point where he is unable to see anything |
 |
| NARUKOOO Man, I wanted him, Onoda and Iwaizumi in the end, but I guess it's impossible now :( I was hoping for Makishima to save him at the last minute by sacrificing himself... or smth like that If I follow the OP then Makishima is next, but if I follow next episode's name then it's Iwaizumi. Anyway, I think it'll end like that scene from the last episode from previous season: Onoda vs Manami vs Midousuji |
 |
| NARUKO I LOVE YOU so good |
candies:      |
| Oh my God, what a great episode! |
