| I was laughing and crying together, while seeing Onoda and Tadokoro sing the Hime song. Maybe I should try doing that too in an empty road Midousuji's attitude is so intimidating... I want to learn more about his past |
 |
| Onoda and Takokoro singing just pushed this up a point for me. Fuck that brace face guy, he seems like a real suck up to Midousuji. |
 |
| Hime hime is the best. Daisuki hime. |
| The Power of Hiime !!!!!!! |
| Omygod. I almost died laughing. That was freakin hilarious. HIME HIME HIME! |
| great episode Tadokoro's singing is priceless I hadn't laughed so much in a while Imaizumi is under pressure, good thing kinjou was there I hope Onoda and Tadokoro catch up soon |

RediceRyan said: Can drafting really help that much? Doesn't feel realistic. Drafting does help a lot, you can conserve 30% of your energy by sitting in the pack compared to the ones who actually pull the pack. But when you ride uphill, the advantage you get from drafting is much smaller. It still helps, but not this much. Of course, you can get a mental boost because of it too, which is always nice. But with Tadokoro's problems and weight, what we saw this episode just isn't possible - the pace Onoda is maintaining and changing a lot is way too high. But this series has abandoned logic and any sense of realism a long time ago. Up to the point that nothing feels realistic to me anymore. Explanations (aside from a few facts in the beginning) that are given don't make sense, just as the riding style of some riders (I'm thinking about Makishima and Midousuji), to the execution of the races itself. I could write a very, very long rant about it to be honest. I have to say, this is one of my favourite episodes in quite a while. It actually made me forget about the major gripes I have with this anime because it was so funny. But obviously, I prefer real cycling by far. |
| Tadokoro's singing voice wasn't bad. Love their duet XD Hope to hear the whole group singing Hime song someday :D |
| I've been watching the Love Hime part since the episode came out. Will it ever stop being funny? :d |
| ^ Wow, that's brilliant. I didn't notice it. |
 |
| The power of Hime is unbelievable. |
 |
| It's not willpower, guys. It's Hime-power. You'd understand if you're a Love Hime fan. kobuta said: I'm so happy to know that Yowamushipedaru is loved by people of overseas. This weeks episode is one of my favorite and I was wondering if anybody noticed that if you read the every first letter of the of the lyrics it will be... YOkuarukotokamo ~ WAtashino kimochi ~ MUridatte iwaretemo ~ SInnjitai konohaato ~ Peeji mekuru ~ DAkishimeru munenihimeta ~ RUutogaidoni nottenai ~ HAjimenoippoha itumo ~ KOinomahou ha otomeno ~ GAkkouha itudatte ~ KUmanaku dokidoki ~ SObani zutto ~ Unnto tanoshimitai ~ HOra tewonobasu ~ KUrai yorumo ~ I hope you understand what I want to say. and forgive my poor english. Definitely didn't notice. That's hilarious, like the rest of this episode. |
| Aww the singing was priceless <3 Aoyagi was adorable in the end, lol. "Tuna mayo, tuna mayo, tuna mayo" Now I'm all caught up and have to wait for the next episode :( |
| Haha that was beast |
| Now we have to wait for the rest of the team to start singing the hime song while riding an entire marathon! IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME!!! |
| Never ignore a person who loves you, cares for you, and misses you. Because one day, you might wake up from your sleep and realize that you lost the moon while counting the stars. |
| >Tadoroko singing Hime Hime I feel like I've witnessed a historical anime moment. A moment where will power and tenacity become second to anisong and otaku culture in the act of transcending oneself. If that shift in paradigm in not unexpected considering the recent trends in anime -- and the symptomatic protagonist of Weakling Pedal -- it still raises question about the ideology delivered in the program. True in the past the "will can overcome any obstacle" message, while idealisticly pleasing, could be perceived as a stereotype and in consequence as a form of moral pandering. Having the stance transfer to a more economy oriented pandering creates an ethical problem, which is ultimately irrelevant since both hinge on the viewers' range of expectations. What is important here I think is the additional dimension of fun provided by the subversion of the usual moral stereotype. For if the take Yowapeda proposes on sport shounen mentality can be perceived as bland and/or forced in a lot of ways, the more sublte ways in which fun interrupts (for example in the end skits) the sports dialectic set it apart from the more heavy comedy frequent in the genre (repetition/ecchi gags). So definitely an innovative strong point of Yowamushi Pedal, and it should be appreciated as such. |

| best fucking duet ever haven't laugh this hard in a while... The thing about this anime is that it's semi-unpredictable and they make every encounter/duel seems like it's the last episode + a brief character development could use some more tits and ass though but I'm enjoying this a shit ton already |
 |
| That was freaking hilarious omfg XD I enjoyed this episode a little bit too much XDDDD the power or Hime is unbelievable. |

Kurogashi said: alright. if this wasnt an anime, that wouldve been the stupidest move onoda can possibly make and possibly get himself kicked off the team for not realizing the dire situation they're in and thinking he can win with plot hacks. does he not realize he's jeopardizing the whole team? and what if todokoro was fatally injured? onoda would do more harm by encouraging him to push himself which could mean permanent damage. but no of course todokoro overcame his pain via plot hacks, kinjou their mighty captain is a prophet, and onoda is naive enough to think you win tournaments through friendship. geez what a cringe worthy episode. Willow_Tree said: You know, I'm usually okay with the whole 'willpower can beat reality!' theme that sports animes indulge in, but this one just strikes me as reckless. People suffering from heat exhaustion already typically over-estimate what they can safely do without adding an expectation that they can 'work through it' to the matter. The moral of this episode seems to be "Ignore the warning signs that you or your friends are on your way to brain damage or death. After all, a slight advantage in a high school tournament is more important!" I mean, I don't think kids go out and try everything that the see in an anime, but hyper- and hypothermia kill enough people already without convincing kids it's not a big deal after all. +1 to both of y'all i couldn't have put it better myself when i read the manga earlier this year, i literally struggled to get through this part because of how stupid onoda actually comes across here (and oh so self-righteous /BARF) prioritizing his logic over his team. honestly, what i would pay to get onoda to shut up for once |
| Cutest duet ever, Todokoro's blush was adorable imo Has anyone brought this up yet  |
| on my way to steal yo girl  |
| EPIC, it's because of these kind of epic shits that I could just look through the stupid shits like Naruko/Onoda trying to bring the team down by waiting for Tadokoro. At this point I really just want Midousuji to fuck off, I don't give 2 shits about him. |

Barion-Zara said: FRIGGIN HILARIOUS XD I haven't laughed so hard in a long time hahahaha XD Tadokoro's reaction to Onoda asking him if he can sing Hime with him was priceless XD Tadokoro's voice while singing Hime was friggin HILARIOUS ROFL XDXDXDXD I died! And how he reacted to it not just being "Hime" but a whole song was gold LOLOLOL Tadokoro is witnessing first hand what Onoda did the day before when he passed 100 riders by himself XD And he's so HYPED XD Asking himself "WTH is Hime?!?!" XD The end was interesting. I wonder how Kinjou will react to what happened there. Midousuji's plan is going along quite well for now but he has no idea what Onoda has in store for him XD And I'm sure that when they reach the straight Tadokoro will be full power drafting Onoda :D Can't wait! HYPED >.< This. |

| The Hime part was pretty funny, but this episode was even more stupid than usual. I swear, if I wasn't already 33 episodes in I would've dropped it now. Souhoku's plot armor is ridiculous. |
currycurry said: I need the lyrics to that song. Hime is allpowerful.Princess Power > Logic |
| Hime can do all the magic XD |

| Lmfao, Tadokoro. That omake, though. Honestly, the omakes are probably better than the actual episodes. |
| OMG, I couldn't stop laughing at this episode! Seeing them pass their opponents while singing HIME HIME at the top of their lungs was amazing! :D |
 |
| Probably the greatest episode so far . |
| "This is my father's crime against me, which I myself committed against none" Al-ma'arri |
I HIGHLY recommend This episode was beyond amazing especially the catching up part!!! I even rewatched that part. Huge props to Onoda for not leaving his teammate and wanting to pull him. I can see Makishima's reasoning for wanting to abandon him, Like he said: he is a realistic person not a dreamer, he knows that Todokoro catching up is a dream and he is not a dreamer, but he couldn't resist not letting Onoda help him after seeing his eyes like he said. Midosouji is such a taunter, it's like he wants Imaizumi to make a mistake by provoking him somewhat,still can't get over the fact that he calls his team Small fries >_> i mean dude they are the ones who will help you win you know give them some respect... 2 teams caught up, all who's left is Sohoku now. Hope Imaizumi can deal with Midosouji somehow ._. |
| HIME HIME HIME HIME! DAISUKI |
 |
| Laughing ? I'm the only one who find Onoda creepy as fuck ?? |
| How Tadokoro know the lyrics of Hime song?? lol |
| Proverbs 4:23 Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. |
| Tadokoro awakened to the power of Hime xD And Midousuji face always popping out of nowhere. Gross! |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Omg Tadokoro singing Love hime song with Onoda whahaha absolutely hilarious Even if he is weakened, with the power of anime on his side everything will be daijoubu! |
 |
| Always loved Tadokoro singing "Hime" with Onoda. Third time watching this and still hilarious lmao! XD Also I really love how the 2nd years can communicate without words lol! I swear Teshima has telepathy power with how he can understand Aoyagi like that! (≧▽≦) |
