| You can seriously understand where Kakeru is coming from, but despite his overwhelming fitness and quickness in track, he's been nothing but a negative influence on the team. Despite yelling at them for not aiming hard enough at qualifying for the Ekiden, I still think he doesn't believe they can make it. This is why despite Haiji being able to have an official record, you can almost always see him running alongside a slower member. He knows going all out in training will not improve the team as a whole. |

| Thanks for the Ashita No Joe spoiler. Alright, I'd already been spoiled on it before, but that's still annoying. AvidAnimeViewer said: The whole idea of a statute of limitations on spoilers has always bugged me. I mean is it my fault for not watching it when it came out decades before I was born? It's not like I have the time to immediately watch everything that interests me either. I mean it's not that hard to reference works without dropping spoilers, or at least the real big ones. Anyway apologies if this came off like I was attacking you, just had to rant a bit on something that annoys me. That said I'll admit hypocrisy in that it probably wouldn't have bothered me if I already watched it. MarioAk_ said: I'm still watching the episode, but I must say one thing. They made me a fucking Ashita No Joe spoiler. PRINCE, YOU SON OF A BITCH. I mean, 50 years I'd say is a good breadth before spoilers. Though I just finished reading the manga like a week ago. |

| Man, I can't wait for Kakeru to finally have his big development moment so that he can finally move forward and stop being such a dick to everyone. They're each showing signs of interest and improving in their owns ways, but of course it's never enough for him. I agree that they need a push to keep moving forward... however positive reinforcement and showing an actual interest in them improving >>>>>>> being a toxic person that just says "run more because you're slow". |

| I was giving Kakeru the benefit of the doubt before now, but he was a real jerk this episode. Also I bet Haiji was obsessed with speed and overworked himself in the past and thats how his knee got screwed up and thats why he's so upset with Kakeru's obsession with speed OOF Such a dramatic episode. I'm excited for the next~ |
| You know what, I'm kinda done with Kakeru's attitude. I need him to either stop being a prick, or some backstory to explain his current behaviour, and fast |
| I'm intrigued to see what Kakeru's relationship with everyone on the team will look like by like episode 20. Even more so, his relationship with Haiji |

ReaperCreeper said: Don't get me wrong, I'd have been bugged by that spoiler if I hadn't already read that far. But I understand that Ashita no Joe is a cultural icon, at least in the world of manga, and that people and anime will inevitably reference important parts from the story. Like when they talk about Joe in Bakuman and Mashiro talks about the ending of the series, which is very famous. I knew the ending coming in and that may have ruined some of the experience, but I also got to read the series all at once while the readers back then had to wait weeks for a new chapter. So while it's not your fault that you didn't read it when it came out, I think you can agree that potential spoilers and reading all at once is better than waiting years (or decades) for a story to go from start to finish with no spoilers. I know I would take some spoilers to read all of Berserk at once, rather than wait the 200+ years it still has left to finish.Thanks for the Ashita No Joe spoiler.

AvidAnimeViewer said: Oh yeah, I get the cultural icon thing. It's just that it's a bit sad since as a result a lot of people won't get the intended first experience. Plus I think it can cause a lot of people to get disinterested in work, since they'll figure why bother when they already know the ending.

But at the same time you will always miss the conversations and hype from when it originally started, so even if you're not spoiled you still miss out on that experience.AvidAnimeViewer said: Oh yeah, I get the cultural icon thing.

AvidAnimeViewer said: I suppose so, if that's what you want to get out of it. Although you could still get some hype from starting something new, but like you said, with the added benefit of not having to wait for next week or whenever. You could try and find some people to join you too.ReaperCreeper said: Yeah, guess that's the privilege of those who were with it from the beginning.

| Mmm, I would be the same as Kakeru if I lose like that. I think he have one or two problems rn. First the gap between him and others and that he crave to get faster. U can say that he's just really irritated. |

| Leave Prince alone, Kakeru. And besides, you know he's just speaking to himself at the end. |
| That Ashita no Joe reference was funny, Prince kakoi! xd Kakeru needs to chill, he's overthinking too much on improvements. I look forward to his character development. |
   smell of coffee songs of sleep  |
| lmao I almost feel bad for people who are barely getting in or watching Joe and don't know much about it. Kakeru my dude... go jerk off or something because you are clearly frustrated about a lot of things. |
| Damn, this was some heavy episode! Tensions running high in the team now. Kakeru just can not get over his obsession with gaining speed and this is clearly causing a lot of issues for the team now. What was with that thoughtless and immature remark at the end regarding Prince’s struggles? Bloody hell, that was really low of him to call all the other half-assed just because they aren’t as fast as him. I understand his point of view too, the competitive world really is harsh and unforgiving but his way of dealing things here is really not the best way to tackle around this obstacle. I’m glad Haiji snapped out there and gave him an earful, he was seriously asking for it for the last couple or so episodes. All in all, a pretty good episode. Taking a break from this show for 4-5 weeks and now returning back has helped me enjoy this show a lot more, as I’m at the moment binging the remaining episodes as we speak. I just couldn’t handle Haiji’s persistence and Kakeru’s obsession earlier, but oddly enough I’m not having too much problem with Haiji anymore. It’s nice too see everyone slowly coming to like running and find their own respective goals, seeing King’s condition in particular where he was favoured for potentially coming to run the Hakuden someday. Kakeru has gotten worse, but I’m sure the next episode or two will resolve this issue before it gets out of hand. |

| The narrative gives me a little surprise: I thought I saw Nico's character in difficulty, but his story was intertwined with that of Kakeru, dragging that of Ouji and Yuki is more and more of the game now. Pleasant to follow the story and how pressured Kakeru is going crazy, and being seriously involved in Haiji's goal of winning the race. |
 |
| Haiji is the Ultimate Dad |
| I kinda felt bad for Prince. Kakeru's attitude is worse than a girl on her period. |
| I can understand Kakeru, but only when he wants to improve his own time, it's not ok to judge the others, it's not like they are doing it for him. |
 |
| First of all, I'm glad that prince even got motivated to buy a treadmill and I'm glad Shindo provided him one but damn it Kakeru. What's his deal? I'm glad that Haiji confronted him but Kakeru telling off Prince is disappointing. Kakeru needs to calm down and get his grip. Come on Haiji knock some sense over Kakeru |

| What the fuck is Kakeru's problem? He needs to take a time out >:( I get that he got isolated in the past for whatever reason, but this is a proper TEAM now, giving their all. Get off his muhfuckin' high horse smfh. Prince is gonna get his shining moment soon. Just watch, baka Kakeru. He has the most room to grow out of everyone rn. |
| That massive Joe spoiler lmao, I already watched it before this series (one of the best sports anime out there IMO, watch it mates!) But I would be so pissed off if I hadn't, seeing Prince getting so fired up about it made me so happy tho, true fan. Aaaand Kakeru had to say it. I'm very sure that people in his previous time didn't only dislike him for the results, thinking that everyone is doing this "half-assed" is offensive, they are all trying so hard. Very worried for Nico-senpai in special who is putting his health at risk. |
 |
| Yikes Kakeru the elitist |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| is Kakeru's only character trait being grumpy? |
 |
| Haiji is the kind of guy you want to marry & bring home to your parents. And Jesus.....if you want speed, take the bullet train. Lol!!!!!!!! He nailed that one x) So much respect for Ōji. I can’t believe he even wanted to buy that treadmill. That parallel of Kakeru asking Ōji to leave the team if he clocked the same timing again against his own frustration of remaining stagnant. Beauty in the dialogue. |
 ꕤ but i’ll probably remember over and over again you were there and everyone else was there — the day we all searched for just one thing ꕤ |
| Ashita no Joe reference!! |
 |
| Kakeru gonna kick Prince-san from team? ;___; |
