| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Go Sakamachi, go! The kid worked pretty damn hard. What's up with his shirt though and those polka dots? Lol. I thought this race was a bit longer than I had expected but great episode. |
 |
| That was some intense pedaling to the peak. Too bad Sakamachi couldn't finish the race. |
 |
| I hope they will make it to 3 people who will be chosen to the Intern-high!! So, Imaizumi is overall better than Naruko. :O |

| King of the mountains! get in my son! I really loved Sakamachi's determination to get to the peak first! I'm glad Imaizumi won the race though. I really like his character. All that food at the end... Kinda hungry now. ^_^ |
| Excellent! That left me on the edge of my seat, it's been a long time since I was that invested in what was going on on-screen. I was close to jumping up out of my chair from excitement. Now that that's out of the way, I wonder what's coming next... |
  |
| I'm FRIGGIN speechless!!!!!!!!! DAT WAS PURE EPICNESS!!!!!!!! I'm shivering all over from excitement!! >_< How the hell did they do that?!?!?! The intensity of Onoda's climb and how they were all cheering for him in the end was Brilliant. Even Captain took his glasses off (shit got real XD)...And OFC...THE REASON HE WON!!! "HIME HIME HIME"!! ^^ XD It just gives u power!! :D Loved when he suddenly stood and started dancing. The reactions were awesome too hehe...He used up all his power til he fainted which I thought was an awesome move by the writer since it would be BS if he continued til the end. The Captain and Coach really know how to motivate a person with how they told him "Do u want to be like them?" hehe. I can't wait till he starts training for real >.<...Gonna kick ASS!!! Gotta admit Imaizumi is on a whole other level though! Dat Dude is BOSS!! Friggin BA. He spent his power on Onoda until he lost then continued with another friggin tough fight against Naruko and won. Respect to both of them. Naruko catching up was enough to make him another monster hehe. Well so yeah. Those 3 main characters are BAs!! tl;dr Episode was out of this world and first time I get this much shiver from EPICNESS in quite a long time >.< Can't wait for what happens nxt. |
 |
| Onoda sure is one fast learner o_O Those screams #beastmode Hime Hime, suki suki daisuki. Oh and Miki wants the D. |
 |
| Damn, if he had more stamina he could have won the race lol. |
| So damn intense. I actually couldn't predict the winner in the situation! Damnnn. SemeticBoy said: Kurini said: I hope they will make it to 3 people who will be chosen to the Intern-high!! I hope so too, I want all of them to join in the team Same! |
| Stunning! I do not remember the last time that excites me both an anime series but it certainly is a good piece of anime. Honestly, the race was very exciting, I was as excited as the foreign coach. And the final between Naruko and Imaizumi also liked. The next scene gave me a good laugh: Link: http://i43.tinypic.com/2r6fwpg.png |
| Magnificent willpower..!! Wonder what happen with the other 3 lol.. |
| Keep moving forward |
Cream_Soda said: I think Onoda will win the race to the top of the mountain, but get third in the race over-all with Naruko catching back up once the course goes down hill/back to flats. Imaizumi beating Naruko by an inch, with Onoda coming in third, not sure how much further behind the other two. My predictions anyways Almost called it lol |
| All the facial expressions in this anime are hilarious XD I really liked that Onoda ran out of stamina after the climb, brings at least a sprinkle of realism to the race. Speaking of, you can't just shoulder shove your opponents while cycling O_o Imagine them being in an official race and shoving someone in a group -> freaking domino effect and pileup of expensive bikes and breakable cyclists. This is not a contact sport. Here's hoping we get back to training in the next ep, Onoda needs to power-level :P |
| it's not that they shove on purpose but there will be bumping here and there, especially near the start of a race when there are around 50+ people. just like in basketball, no aggressive contact but it happens. they just want to win and whoever is closest to the apex of a turn will get to pull out ahead, even if it's a few feet because that is enough to win or lose a race. |
    |
| Damn, epic episode. Relieved to see that Onoda beat Imaizumi up the slope as the faster opponent. |
 |
| ughk this anime is great i freaking love it I hate no one so far, and this is a good sign for a good anime that would be high on my scale :') |
| The final of the race was so unpredictable , i was pretty surprised that Imaizumi won. Well , can't wait for the next episode :D |
 |
| Naruko giving Onoda that 'high five' slap as he passed the peak and telling Onoda to leave the rest to me.. that was awesome :) |
| Holyyy.Probably best episode yet! So intense and epic.My rating for this show went up once again.So freaking happy it's 38 episodes!! I was laughing like crazy (from happiness) when Onoda reached the peak.Such a brillaint moment. Also, i ship KanzakixOnoda xD Grats Imaizuni! i feel bad for Naruko though, but well there's only one 1st place. |
 |
| Naruko is my favorite character at the moment. Such an awesome guy |
| Wow... It's been a while since an anime had made me get goosebumps... |
 |
| Awesome episode was awesome :D Such a great build up and really fun to watch once again :D Looking forward to next week xD |
 |
| Whoever decided to make this anime around 40 episodes deserves a big reward. Seriously I can't get enough of this! |
Alone on a Friday night? Remember that DIO did nothing wrong! |
| Amazing episode, this show really kills me with its excitement, I got goosebumps watching this. funny ending as always :) |
| this is ridiculous. i swear i am the only one who dislikes this episode (and kinda the show in general) but ...my opinion so don't trample over them. onoda's improvements are ridiulous. most sports animes are on impossible but even so they show the characters training their hardest and working a lot to get to the level they are. however, in yowamushi pedal i do believe they made onoda to much of a prodigy. sports take a lot of hard training and effort and skill practice. i understand why his endurance is over the top but everything else like the speed he learns at is just impossible to the point where i can't even enjoy it anymore. |

| I like the realism and excitement of this whole anime. The hard work and realizing how fun an everyday-stuff can power up your life. |

Audios nobody is forcing you to watch it. I quite enjoy it. It's an anime, it's not supposed to be entirely realistic. I'm a commuter, never done sports, or biked competitively, and with 20-25 lbs in my backpack every morning, bike 14 miles to school at a pace in the same league as Imaizumi. (based on his speedometer readings the times they've shown. Granted he's a good 5mph faster, but considering he's an anime character, has a much more expensive bike, and I have 25 lbs worth of crap, yeah) Never knew about dancing. Just tried it this morning going up the overpasses (I take the highway); Got it down on my first try and beat my record for getting to school today, despite my record being super lucky and getting no red lights with a good tailwind, while I caught two today and had no wind. Onodoa has been biking all his life, he has the raw biking ability. He just needed some coaching for technique, which Naruko has helped him with; and even then, while he got to the top of the mountain fastest, he still had to drop out of the race. He didn't pace himself and burned out, low stamina, etc. Naruko and Imaizumi weren't going balls to the wall like Onoda was. They were conserving enough energy to last them the entire race. Now, if Onodoa won that race, maybe you'd have a point, but with how much my own biking has improved from little things I've learned while watching this show + the fact that it's an anime, and is supposed to have a little extra, it's not that "ridiculous" |

| I love love love that Naruko, Imaizumi and Onoda are all equally wonderful and lovable in their own way and I want all of them to win. I love that one of them isn't a token asshole for ~variety. I love that seeing Onoda win the mountain made me happy for him and sad for Imaizumi, and seeing Imaizumi win the race made me happy for him and sad for Naruko. |
 |
| +1 for Cream_Soda! He probably all forgot that he went to Akibahara on his bike every day or was it weekend so it's not ridiculous. Have you forgot a bit on that anime shouldn't be 100% realistic ? Anime or manga whatever is suppose to be interesting not boring. |

I'm surprised that you really liked KuroBas, where the skills are even more unrealistic, like Kise learning someones plays instantly. |
| #PlotTwist: Makishima is in love with Tadokoro. :D |

| Epic. Amazing episode. The determination was fierce! |
| Episode was just great! The only thing I don't like is pacing. Don't have a clue how it was in manga, but there are already 9 episodes though nothing actually happens besides this race that also was a bit too long and 2 eps in the beginning with introducing new characters. Hope this show will be a little faster in later parts. |
| I forgot to breathe : 0 |
| I had a lot of fun and goosebumbs, like I said in the previous episode, I can't even imagine how hyped it will be an official race. ChaosLegion said: #PlotTwist: Makishima is in love with Tadokoro. :D #PlotTwist2: Makishima is into bestiality. |

I love the pacing tbh. It gets me on my feet and guessing who will win. It obviously feels slower since you're following it every week. It would feel different if you were marathoning the entire show tho. Same with Dia no Ace. Eijun hasn't played a single official game yet, but its pacing is also awesome. |
| Intense and fantastic. There will be at least 38 episodes for development. It's rare to see anything above 26. I'm hoping there's some romance too. |

| My FCKING N*gga! this guy did it! HIMMMEEEEEE!!! i just can't wait for this guy to get stronger and join a tournament! So Hyped! right now! |
"I don't like Megane, I love them" |
| Man, what a freaking awesome episode. I don't think anyone thought this show would start of so strong like this. |
| That was pretty intense. X3 So it seems like they are each going to have a mentor in one of the older students, perhaps? Makishima is a climber, Tadokoro is a sprinter, iirc, and the captain is the all-rounder, kind of like Imaizumi? Or perhaps not. I haven't read the manga. So I think Imaizumi and Naruko will be chosen, but Onoda will find a way to be rotated in at some point. I just hope it doesn't involve someone getting injured. >_< |
