| Arakita confirmed for awesome character, was nice to see him in berserk mode, and I liked his backstory and all, and too bad he couldn't keep up anymore. Sad stuff is sad. I wonder what Midousuji is planning to do, hasn't he learned anything from his lost? |
 |
| AgK can learn a thing or two from here :p I'm very impressed by how the show builds up it's characters, i'd always thought Midosuji was a creep but his back story was really well done that i found myself rooting for him win, Arakita's was even better and now i'm not sure who to root for anymore. |

They get me more involved with the characters, and I actually feel for them when something like this happens or when they lose. If there wasn't any backstory on Arakita, I wouldn't have felt much for him at all. He's a pretty awesome character now that I know him more, and it sucks to see him fall out of the race after working so hard these past 3 years and giving it his all to help his team. |
| Arakita ;___; He's definitely my favourite yowamushi. THE AFTER CREDITS SCENE "I AM STRONG!" LOL. |

| Did Fukutomi actually smile?? What is this sorcery At some point Arakita coughed in his inner monologue. I found that hilarious |
| Aa the tears won't stop... |
 |
| I'm fucking crying. That xylophone OST they played with Arakita and... I'm so done. ;___; Nominating Arakita for MVP/or most valuable character this season. I love how the omakes manage to make me laugh even if I was still crying from the episode itself. nameskizo said: They spoke of Arakita as if he were to die lol LOL I know right. Sports anime are quite dramatic.  |

| I'm glad Midousuji's personality wasn't lost, I was afraid that he would become more of a 'normal' person but he's still the same calculating and evil son of a bitch. Ughh Arakita did an excellent job. Love that guy so much. |
 |
| 1 down from Hakone, but they are still a power house high-levels! |
 |
| Aaaaaah bye Arakita ;___; I kinda want to see if some others will fall behind, too. I mean it'd only be logical if everyone had been riding with all their best since the start of the race. |
| Great episode, surprising that getting the sprinter checkpoint wasn't made out to be a big deal |
 |
Kurogashi said: dont really like that midosuji is all creepy again. i mean cmon, been there, done that. stop making him into a villain, and instead a strong contender. I don't think being creepy makes him a villain, that's just what makes up him, everyone has their little quirks you know, and Midousuji's is just a bit...abnormal. And he was actually right about people dropping out near the finish line. Arakita's drop out was probably foreshadowing more drop outs in the future. |

| lol as though arakita is dead... |
nameskizo said: They spoke of Arakita as if he were to die lol He basically did in anime terms. He's a third year and this was his last race. We won't be seeing much of him from now on. ---- Back on subject, I really liked this episode. This show really knows how to make you care for characters, even if you hated them in the beginning. It was nice to see Arakita's final resolve, and it was also nice to see just how much each of the characters respected him. This was a nice episode. Also, I never thought that I'd ever say this, but I'm glad that the old Midousuji is back. I was worried that they were just going to completely ignore him for the rest of the series. |
| So much Arakita this season. Not that I'm arguing. This ep was so moving ;v; I almost teared up when Fuku was complimenting him. Midousuji tho. Was his character supposed to have changed with that haircut or what... |
 |
| Arakita tho |
 |
| This episode was so powerful, it breaks my heart that Arakita has to drop out, but his hard work really did pay off in the end Why are all of his teammates talking as if he died though? haha |
| on my way to steal yo girl  |
Kurogashi said: Me too. Sigh, before I was about to like the guy, then this happen..dont really like that midosuji is all creepy again. i mean cmon, been there, done that. stop making him into a villain, and instead a strong contender. I really hate the repetitive dramatic scenes with teammate dropping out, especially from the Sohoku's guys, and even more when it's not their teammate.. |

| Last few episode were all Arakita centred preparing for this moment. I felt sad, so sad :( Arakita has special personality and worked super hard. Good job Arakita, you served your team well. |
| My Anime List | |
| Arakita "dies" completing his duty :'( Onoda still freaking about every little thing is so awful :( |
 |
| Arakita ;-; you gave your all for your team! |
| That ending... they talk as if Arakita died or something, always referring to him in the past tense. LOL Also, Onoda pissed me off (as usual) just by talking/screaming. Wish I could just get used to him and the way he speaks already. He was and still the biggest reason why I find it so hard to watch this anime. |

| Arakita pulled them till the end :( well almost. It's now 4th episode that's been focused on Arakita, that's the most focus Hakone member ever got, amazing he is the best. LIke him a lot now. Not only did they catch up to the main squad, but also Makishima and others did, that's amazing. the reunion they had was a great moment. Makishima is right about tension. enjoy it while it lasts, they waited for this moment a long time,them riding as 6 in final stage. Arakita felt it too as he decided to use all of his remaining strength to pull his team, that was amazing, i've never seen someone pull like that, interesting that Shinkai noticed that Arakita sat and he immediately replaced Arakita. Man the faces of everyone from Hakone, seeing that Arakita fell was amazing. Everyone wants to carry out his will, everyone from Hakone thought how great Arakita is, all having different thoughts, obviously Shinkai and Toudou knew him the most. Arakita did hear the final words from Fuku-chan that he did great and pulled as best as anyone could, Arakita in the end only wanted to hear those words from Fuku. Onoda was pretty annoying this episode with his oh no Arakita slowed down, man he is your enemy why would you care that much, it's a race... I guess he knows how much race matters to everyone so seeing the guy which he kinda befriended lose was devastating for him. Midousouji was right, everyone is gonna fall one by one, the most energetic one especially and he looked at Arakita. I'm guessing Izumida is next since next episode is called Izumida's pride. and just like that each episode one by one they will fall, with 2-3 racers remaining at the end. |
| Iiiiya, Midousuji hasn't been mentioned for so long that I had forgotten how he used to creep me out- though I do prefer Midousuji over Machimiya for miles... Yikes :( My love for Midousuji was going so strong, I was like, new haircut, new teeth, new him. That midnight ride to the pharmacy/store with Onoda made me happy and now he's already back to the tongue Orochimaru thing going on. And there goes the end of my dream team, Arakita, Manami and Onoda. Even with all the attention and development for Arakita, I don't think i'm that moved so I was fine with the drop out however I will most likely be affected with future drop outs and if they include as much of the backstory as they did for Arakita... s.o.s. |

| Wow... what an awesome episode! This one really hit me in the feels. Especially right after seeing the last episode, it's sad to see Arakita be the first member to be dropped out of the Sohoku/Hakogaku lineup. He did so much to help his team and to bring back Onoda and Manami, it's sad to see him go. I also just noticed this episode that Arakita was riding the Bianchi which, according to last episode, was given to him by Fukutomi. I thought that little detail really showed how deep their bond is. Also Midousuji seems to be back to normal (by his standards at least). I was kind of hoping to see some change after his encounter with Onoda. |
| Rip Arakita... oh, he just fell behind, nevermind. Arikata was on some MVP shit these last couple of episodes. But it's as Midousouji said, from now on the members will drop like flies. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Seems like Midousuji is back to his usual creepy self... Arakita truly is one hell of an awesome dude for pushing himself to the limits. |
