When he opened his jacket and let it flap in the wind with a tear streaming down his face XD I was too through lololol. It was emotional but I couldn't stop laughing.

Onoda's freakouts are so scary they make me freakout.

You're not the only one. Why, I find it creepy that Onoda chases people with a smile on his face. Onoda needs to take a chill pill seriously. And now that he's last place someone needs to put him on suicide watch.

Then again, his personality most likely has to do with him not having friends before the cycling club.

Isn't Onoda already enough of an underdog? Was that really necessary? =/

Oh well, hope he catches up in the next episode. His freakouts are kinda awkward though, they always have been. But I guess it makes sense when you consider his character.


New Op and Ed are funny, but the songs aren't that catchy I'm afraid. ^^
Just sit back, and let your tears do the talking as I save you.

I enjoyed the previous episode (sprinting portion) because of Onoda's lack of presence. This episode, he's back and just crazy annoying! Esp when he feels the pressure and gets a panic attack, ugh!!!

INTENSE
SO INTENSE
I know that feel, Onoda, I know, when you're behind from your pack and everyone gradually moving forward, you're still at behind, I KNOW THAT FEEL *sobs*
anyway, I was like a proud mom when Souhoku lead the pack *sniffs*
Toudou youuuu I was hoping for Manami though ahahaha
Just when I was so giddy and excited for mountain stage for the climbers to shine..megane-kun DAMEEEee *sobs*
well, YowaPeda, I can't thank you enough for doing stupid funny extra (AKUMADE HITSUJI DESU KARA *snorts*) instead of preview which will probably gonna hurt my kokoro more and more

new OP by Souhoku team and new ED by HakoGaku team woot! I still like the previous songs though

You know, I like this show a lot, the art, the characters, and the overally plot. But at times like this with Onoda's fall, it feels like they just had to go with the predictable "Hero someone ends up in last place, fights his way back to the front" scenario. The desired reaction to "Onoda is missing" and the crash was likely "oh no, poor guy, hope he still finishes" but all I could think was "Of COURSE he crashed" and roll my eyes. Played-out scenario, IMO.


Because it's too creepy and we all are better off forgetting it ever happened.

Actually I thought he got his shit together pretty fast for once. He seems determined to catch up now, hopefully without another panic attack

Onoda is so friggin ridiculous! Like... pull yourself together!

Anyway I bet some divine intervention will skyrocket his last place to the front. I'm so annoyed by the cliches this protagonist has been showing to the audience time and again. ;_;

That aside, new OP by Team Sohoku. Love it! ^o^ Low pitch by 3rd years and high pitch by 1st years, even tho Imaizumi is deep-voiced lol. Team Hakone's ED is not bad.

That's weird, you'd think Imaizumi would be wearing yellow as well. .


Not sure if the source is wrong, or translated incorrectly

Okay, I was able to ignore the fact Sohoku won the Sprint first checkpoint by luck/bullshit, even though they tried to explain shit, it's still fucking luck, and nobody risk that shit even if they have 0 IQ, trying to justify it makes it worse, but alright, I was able to get past that. A little comedy here and there sounds right for the sprinters since they need to fall back and let the group behind catch up. That's fine and all.

Up until that falls, I finally thought, my God Onoda you had a nice face on you, even when I disliked him before, but the author had to pull some bullshit drama to make Onoda falls back for the nth time. I wanted to see some hill climbing and the author could create the drama there, but damn, isn't this just getting repetitive? Author will always nerf Onoda in some way, to power him up again, to make it more exciting, but it's getting tiring now.

Is there anyone in Hakone that's not fun? :)

New OP and ED were meh.

lol omg, are you me?!
i said the same exact thing a few episodes back about how his smiles creep the hell outta me :o


anyways, onoda once again proves he is the right person for a horror film character.
can his reactions and expressions be any more fitting for such a genre?

Honestly, I'd be more annoyed if he somehow made it through the crash. Onoda is a beginner, it makes sense he'd fall in a situation like that.

And give him a break, of course he'd be freaking out, it's in his personality. Sorry not all protagonists are hard headed dare devils?

Didn't like new op or ed. Imaizumi is definitely INTO that Hime movie. He looks so intense with that popcorn :P
I can feel the intensity! so much hype. Loved their reactions to Todoroko victory. Makishima with a smile :D Glad that guy realized that he wasn't strong enough. GOMENASAI ANDY AND FRANK xD
Loved how they were riding in the front of the pack. Now we know how great it feels.
Toudou is a cool guy. i liked him ever since he was introduced since he is quite perky, interesting character for sure, confident as well. Heaven blessed him with three things:talking,biking and beauty LOL.
Not sure how Onoda fell but the intensity in that moment, understanding that everyone relies on him but he is last :( DAAMN Onoda do your magic! you can do it.
I wonder if Kinjou has a thought in the back of his mind that he shouldn't have
taken Onoda at all now that he let them down.

If this were an anime of fights, this would be the moment where Protagonist is at the point of dying, but we all know that somehow he will survive just for being the Protagonist
The question isn't "What anime do you like?" That is merely a list.
The question is "Why do you like it?" That tells a story. Your story.

Also, how did the main body of the cyclists miss the fall? All the climbers were in the front, weren't they? Or did they go through a different road since they were climbers? @.@


Why didn't anyone else catch this???
Honestly I hated this episode, because it kept me fuming for several episodes after. I mean did all the climbers just magically teleport to the end of the line from the front and then crash to an invisible wall just for the lulz??? Or did only Onoda somehow teleport to the back or was he supposedly so stressed that he stopped pedaling and was left behind???
In any case it's just unbelievable that his team mates would not notice that he was missing for so long, especially since he was supposed to go ahead of them. This kind of illogical thing makes me so freeking angry. I don't mind the special powers of a protagonist as it's a given thing in shounen but I can't stand teleporting that has no explanation. Ugh. x.x

I like this show less the further I watch. Very bad attempt at justifying Izumida's loss. How did Onoda who was near the front of the pack and directly behind Naruko get caught up in the fall near the end of the pack without anyone noticing? They're pulling out contrivances just so Onoda can be fellated even more as he passes everyone from last place.

The openings for this series are all heat.

Nice transition episode. Tho Onoda falling behind gotta be one of the most frustrating anime moments.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

Wtf is Onoda doing in the back instead of with his team like Makishima (did I miss something?). I After falling into last place (quite litereally), I guess it's time for Onoda to make a big comeback towards first place ...too bad for his team in the meanwhile

Liked the new OP song, but I wasn't looking forward to seeing what happens to Onoda after reading what happened in the manga. Still though, all for building tension and that's one thing the mangaka knows, how to do really well.
