----------------------------------------
At another InterHigh track event, Yamato is still thinking about Suzuka. He remembers what Suzuka’s sister told him about Kazuki, the guy who she still admires. Miyamoto even comes over and affirms how great Kazuki was at running and how much Suzuka liked him. After making a bit of a scene, Yamato proclaims that he’ll become Japan’s top athlete. To do that however, he still has to best the reigning champion Arima, who is also at this track meet. Yamato wins his race with an impressive time of 10.81 seconds, but the record held by Arima is an even lower 10.46 seconds. In the end, Miki tells Suzuka that Yamato beat even Arima to be number one in another race with a time of 10.66 seconds.

However, when Suzuka goes to congratulate him, he’s less than happy because he placed second in the overall standings. Suzuka tries to console him, but Yamato won’t settle for anything less than first place.

Suzuka and Yamato may grow slightly closer, but the overall plot isn’t affected too much. Couple that with crappy animation, and this is quite a forgettable episode. In fact, there are a lot of zooming shots and weird angles this episode, when they probably should have just focused on drawing the people correctly.

What's with these last couple episodes? It's like everyone has reverted back to the way they were in episode 11: Honoka and Miki like Yamato, who doesn't notice because he is too busy trying to win races for Suzuka, who pretends to not care while still showing concern. And what was with that profound declaration on the hill?

There's really no reason to show it if he isn't running against Arima directly.

ye but he still gets pumped by arima
"Urushibara Ruka. The mannerisms and voice of a woman... No... More feminine than any woman. But he's a guy. Taller than Mayuri, but so very thin... But he's a guy. Looks great in a miko outfit... But he's a guy. It's already twilight And yet, it's so hot. The cicadas are crying. But... He's a guy."

Yamato getting his shit together, I like that.

Didn't really expect him to do so well on his times so quickly.

Not really sure why Suzuka is making such a gloomy expression in the last few minutes...being stubborn I guess?

He sure got himself in a complicated situation... and well if he really means it and wants to go for the first place I wonder what time he'll get!

Arima's such a tease, and lol it kinda felt like a reset as if the Honoka relationship never happened. Here's to trying to beat Arima again.

First of all, I kind of feel sorry for Honoka, I still think YamatoxHonoka is the 'best' ship.
Anyway, since they decided to quit.

I think Miki should go for it, These both girls are still better then Suzuka....
