| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Cycling at night huh? Getting interesting now. I still like Sakamachi's determination and everything he's went through so far. Yup, that's right, you tell it to them! And he shows it too by passing that guy. Awesome. |
 |
| The omake at the end <3 Great episode. Onoda's such a badass. Wow, is it bad that I want the 2nd years to finally go to Interhigh? At the same time, I want our MCs to win too >< |
| It really bothers me when sports animes make the people outside of the main-main cast of characters out to be more villainy than they need to be. I personally think the 2nd years deserve to go to inter-high for working with the limited talent that they have. I like onoda as a character, but god given talent being rewarded all the time bores me. |
| I always get excited to watch this anime, will he pass through or not? Well the preview said Onoda get last place but I'm pretty sure they say I will choose you on inter high or something. |

| Haha, Imaizumi failed at the end! XD jimjameswhatever said: Yep, and it's already their second year! It's so sad if they can't participate when they are actually putting load of effort in their traning!I personally think the 2nd years deserve to go to inter-high for working with the limited talent that they have. I like onoda as a character, but god given talent being rewarded all the time bores me. |
| That second year is so mean trying to crush his own Juniors. I'm glad Odana passed him in the end. |
| I feel for the second years, but there's always next year when the third years won't be around anymore, then they can all go. Also LOL at the ending scene |
| Finally caught up with everyone else with this anime. Decided to check this out a week ago, and it's been great! More people should be watching this show :) Didn't like the 2nd years all too much personally. I'm glad Onoda passed him, but the preview says that he'll be in last place? :O |
| If Teshima is so smart then why did he waste his stamina trying to race Onoda? He most certainly knew that Onoda was behind a lap or two, so he could just let him pass and focus on keeping Imaizumi and Naruko at bay. Also did the author forget that Onoda was using heavier wheels? I could understand if he surpassed those 40 seconds using regular wheels, but with the heavy ones? Nah, I don't buy it. But I'm questioning the logic in a damn shounen anime here, I guess I'm just wasting my time. Besides that it was a pretty average episode. The flashback scenes with Teshima and Aoyagi were okay but the pacing in the present time was slow as balls. |

| Absolutely loved this episode, the OST fits so perfectly during the scenes of action and uprising motivation. |

I know what it's like to love a hobby but still suck at it. But I don't let the fact that I'm not not a prodigy and not the best turn me into a sour person who wants to crush their other teammates just because they're more talented than me. Onoda and the others are also giving it all they've got. They're not going to succeed just because they're talented. On another note, Onoda is so stinkin' cute! I can't handle it... |
 |
| I liked the 2nd years story. It was pretty ok but I wish Teshima didn't act like such a jerk about winning and losing D< I am rooting for Aoyagi though, I hope at least he makes it~ The friendship Naruko and Imaizumi have with Onoda always makes me feel so giddy X3 Lol at the end, I feel like Imaizumi is slowly turning into an otaku because of all those dvds Onoda gave him XD Sv3rr3 said: If Teshima is so smart then why did he waste his stamina trying to race Onoda?

I don't think the author forgot, maybe. I think it's more supposed to be like Onodera improved over the course of the training. Like if he didn't have his wheels he probably would have won against songaku, he probably would have been on the lap as Naruko and rest :3 ...maybe... lol |
 |
| That was a nice breakthrough by Onoda. Loved that scene after the credits. Imaizumi knew the lyrics to the song lol. |
 |
| Awww, I thought the breakthrough would be more legit like actually using the darkness to their advantage. Like turn off the light on the bike and start sprinting on the opposite side of the Perm Guy THEN YAYYY. But no. Love the ending where Imaizumi knew the lyrics to the song. |
| Once I felt that the pacing wasn't going to speed up, I started skipping through the episode. I'm simply not interested in the second years at all. They need to wrap the training camp up, it's getting old. 2/5 |
 |
| One of them finally managed to make it past the second year. Looks like Onoda has definitely improved during the training camp. |
| Before i completely turn off every episode of YowaPeda, i listen to ED and OP around 58475943785 times each. Also, awesome episode.I feel like second years deserve to participate in Inter High.It will suck if they are just going to leave them off. |

| The only thing bothering is why all 3 of them didn't try to pass that second year altogether? At least one or two of them could make it thru..... anyway great episode once again. |
 |
| I love the team work in this episode... Still kept it interesting all the way through so i can't complain at all. |
 |
| Onoda you best guy youuuu Was expecting Imaizumi to have a duet with Onoda though !! Hahahaaha good episode as always! |
 |
| Teshima is a sadist. Episode was awesome , 5/5. |
"Children of Japan. And those who were once children. Listen! This is not a dream. This is not fiction. In reality, your superheroes were always fighting. To teach viewers courage and the meaning of justice! No matter how many enemies there are. No matter how strong evil is. Just remember. Does any another country have so many heroes? Has any another country been protected by multiple superheroes? Stand with me, friends! Remember when you used to watch your superheroes! Once you may have given up this dream. But today, you can be a hero!" - Kaname Jouji , Red Axe |
| The ending was the best. LOL. Imaizumi-kun... |
| Haha , when perm sempai was looking at the rankings and he was the 43th I was thinking that his mind was full of: KUYASHIIIIIIII !!! |
 |
| The last five minutes was really intense. I'm honestly rooting for the senpais but at the same time, I just know losing is inevitable for them. How frustating. As much as I hope normal people shall win against talented people, I know very well that anime isn't like that. |
| Awesome episode! Woohoo onoda broke through |
| Tears are rolling down my eyes. Happy tears T___T. |
| Good episode, it went by fast. |
 |
| Rooting for you 2nd Year students! |
 |
| Fck yes. that 40 sec made it much better that he now can do better.. i cried.. i fcking cried. I knew its his time to shine.. as soon as i saw that climb part.. but when's is onoda gonna dance.. wanna see him develop his own dance.. |
"I don't like Megane, I love them" |
| This training camp has overstayed its welcome. Plus, now I like the second-years so much I have no reason to care about the "main trio" since they're all so one-note in terms of personality. Did not see that coming. |
I have my own anime blog. It's called Anime Viking. Hope you'll you read it! |
| Not bad, a first-year finally made it through the second-years' so-called "teamwork". |

| onoda did it! haha man that was awesome :-) also perm-kun really reminds me of kirihara from prince of tennis xD next ep is going to be killer tho omg ;_; i hope they all go to the inter-high! |
| Onoda started out as a cool otaku but now he is just lame and a freakin' eyesore. His smiles creep me out. I am totally rooting for the 2nd years, I like the perm dude. There is no one in the first year trio that I like and it sucks that they take up most of the screentime, ugh. I hope there will be more appearances from the 2nd years and the 3rd. Only watching it for them and the Hakone team. |

| Four things. 1. Onoda, the main character, is really talented, unbelievably talented. 2. He started earlier than any of them in the morning, and he can last longer than a second year. Why not? 3. Hard work is shit without talent. That's some pretty damn bad message this series is trying to pass across. No matter how hard we work, those without talent cannot surpass those with talent. 4. I really cannot come to like Onoda. I scored the series a "4", before this episode I wanted to increase it to a "7", but this episode killed it, once again. At times, I really love it, and at times like this, I really dislike it. Sigh. Don't forget, the first years are still handicapped, god damn. Sigh, whatever. brianez said: jimjameswhatever said: I personally think the 2nd years deserve to go to inter-high for working with the limited talent that they have.

Sorry, but I don't see how do they suck. He wants to crush them so that they won't be able to continue, which give them chances to catch up again. Selfishness is human's nature. In fact, the perm guy actually doesn't mind letting his team mate gets all the glory. Let's say if they are not going against the main characters, would you still think the same about them? What if they are the main characters instead, would you still say that their attitude sucked? Edit: Oh and, Onoda stating that he wants both Imaizumi and Naruko to participate in the inter-high means that they will crush the second years' dream and effort, it's the same logic. If you hate the second years, hate the first years too.

I like Naruko and Imaizumi, but I just temporarily lose interest in them as soon as those second years are introduced. |

| What sucks is that they can't all go to the Inter-high. ^^; Aoyagi and Teshima have worked really hard to get a spot on the team, and you'd like to think that that alone would earn it for them... but we don't all get what we want. It's not a bad message, it's reality. Sometimes hard work alone isn't enough, especially when the people with talent are also busting their balls. When it comes down to it... Teshima is only there to get Aoyagi on the stand, and without Teshima, Aoyagi wouldn't make it. They are really normal people. Nothing wrong with that, and their team work is exemplary, but if you want to make a team that will win, do you want to put on two people who are only great together, or two people who are each great? I'm sure there are people in the inter-high who wouldn't have any trouble passing Teshima's wall... That said, Onoda is both endearing (I really do cheer for him), and annoying (what the heck is with him always catching up? It defies logic!) so I don't really know what to do with him. ^^; I do think that Imaizumi and Naruko are more interesting... but they need to start working together and not against each other so much. *shrug* I'm still enjoying it, but I'm not going to look forward to the results of this training camp, really... because someone is going to get their dreams crushed, no matter what. ;_; And I have a feeling it's going to be the 2nd years, just because it's already been established that the 1st years are the MCs. Onoda needs more otaku time. The omake was adorable, but not enough. *lol* |
