| This episode was just great, and i got really worried with Haijis's health... |
| Motivational support really helps a lot and can lift-up your spirits! Oh man! i was quite shocked Haiji suddenly just collapsed while cooking mixed rice! Looks like he's gone ill again...OH really NO! 5/5. |
 |
| I'm crying. This episode got my feels so hard. I'm honestly enjoying this show so hacking much. I cant wait for the next episode. But honestly, since this is based on a novel, could they actually kill Haiji off? Like, from being an avid reader in my teen years and watching non stop movies as I grow up, I often get the feeling when I watch anime that a character as important as Haiji could honestly die, the audience would be wrecked, but it would give the other characters that much more motivation. That's something we see more often in books and western movies, and we rarely get it in anime. Right now would be perfect. (I felt a similar way when watching the first season of BNHA. Killing off All Might could have given Midoria motivation and made the audience feel for him.) If they were to just put Haiji in the hospital, I dont know if it would convey the same emotion and motivation in the characters to work as hard to finish. As much as I love Haiji, I dont know if I want him to live for the sake of the story lol |

Nembu said: He won't die since he is a main character and if he just died the show would get extremely boring without his quick and smart decision making also the team would just disband if Haiji died. I'm kind of thinking you're right. As much as it would work so well for the narrative to kill Haiji off, he does add a lot to the show itself. I dont necessarily think the team would disband though even if he did die, as motivation would be given to the members to finish the Hakone Ekiden. But yeah. He might fall seriously ill though, which I now feel would work better for the story than killing him off entirely lol |

| Amazing episode after amazing episode. I love how every episode lets you find out little things about different characters, slowly making them all something special. Good to see Kakeru is understanding things better, but is keeping his realism. Damn, I wonder what's happening with Kaiji's, it seems he is so concerned looking after the others that he's neglected looking after himself. I really hope we learn about some of his past next episode. |
| “I just spent the last two years thinking that you guys knew more than me about life and I just found out that you guys are just as dumb as me.” “Duh-doy.” “Yeah, duh-doy.” |
| Man, I hope Haiji is ok. |
| This was a fucking great episode |
| “I love heroes, but I don't want to be one. Do you even know what a hero is!? For example, you have some meat. Pirates will feast on the meat, but the hero will distribute it among the people! I want to eat the meat!” - Monkey D. Luffy |
| Lol at Haiji rotating his arm Seriously, I probably said this in previous episode, but Kakeru is so lucky, these guys are so unrealistically kind, coz if they were realistic, Kakeru would've been beaten to a pulp the moment they heard about what he said to Ouji Now everyone will do their best for Haiji, I agree, this is kind of overdramatic, Haiji has a leg injury but now probably has leukemia too lol smfh or he could've just overworked himself and I thought Kakeru was overworking himself with those eye bugs lol, but with Haiji blurring his eyes oh man, RIP calling it |

If he dies or was rendered unable to run, they'd have to introduce another character as a replacement. |

| Great episode with a great message, Haiji being the best mom, the cheering squad, and the characters doing their best. Imo the characters being kind to Kakeru despite knowing what he did is realistic though, since all of them are mature enough, I mean, they're not in their teens anymore. Haiji's showing signs of fatigue but I didn't see that ending coming. |
   smell of coffee songs of sleep  |
| heh, the budget really shows in this episode. Some parts were bad but overall the good parts really made up for it (maybe it was intentional?). I just hope it doesn't become a trend. |
 |
| HOW COULD THEY JUST END IT THERE OMGGG Okay but this episode was so cute. That lunchbox Haiji made was amazing Kakeru and Prince actually cheering! Well "cheering" in Prince's case. They're really becoming a team. <3 BUT THE ENDINGGG I NEED THE NEXT EPISODE NOWW |
| this episode blew me away with this series once again. the interactions between each character and the buildup feels so genuine and heartfelt. Can't wait for more! |

| Great narration that explains well and leaves no doubt, showing perfectly the growth of the group both in terms of friendship and as an athletic team. Excellent Ouji and not just him as a character. The scene in which Nico opens the bento made by Haiji, made me smile not a little, really nice and fun to see that handmade bento. XD |

Sabrael said: It showed Prince walking at a 12 km/h pace on the treadmill which is almost 7.5 m/h, this roughly comes out to a bit under a 25 minute 5k pace. Now granted that's not fast, it's not as if that's abysmally slow either, more like your typical 5k runner that runs every now and then for fun or to stay healthy rather than someone who's competitive. As a runner, it's small things like this that annoy me. He was actually walking at more like a 3.5 m/h pace, not over double. Still though, I shouldn't expect everything to be accurate and I still very much enjoy the show. Looking forward to the next episode! Yeah, I'm not a runner but I use a treadmill sometimes, and his pace looked like 4-5 km/h, not 12... |
| Wtf was that ending, omg, Haiji!!!!! They were starting to look like a team and this happens!! I hope it's nothing serious. |
 |
| I love this episode. Seeing Prince and Kakeru cheer is the best. But OH MY GOD HAIJI PLEASE GOD NO |

| OHMYGAWD, that Nico-senpai bento box was everything ahhahahahahhhh XDDD Aww, Haiji TT^TT I was so worried about him when his vision started blurring :( I hope he's okay :((( He shouldn't push himself too much Kakeru is such a cynical realist, lol. Have some faith, even if it seems silly and unreasonable. Life is more fun when you can dream. |
| Wahh seeing their improvements makes me happy! I love character's development of this anime :) Haiji is such a waifu material lol I love him!! <3 Haiji pleaseeeee rest!! T-T |
 |
| That was a nice episode, but yikes that ending! |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| I need haiji in my life |
 |
| I was so proud of everyone running! and the cheering <33 Please be okay Haiji! I honestly think he's just a bit overworked (hopefully that's all). |
| Haiji in that apron chasing after Nico with that bento was EVERYTHING I was smiling when they were cheering the rest on. Even Kakeru joined in. That was too precious. Kakeru is so endearing. And I had not realised, did Kakeru’s character design always had dark eye circles?? Or did he just develop them. Only realised the previous & this episode. Nico had them too! Oh no poor Haiji baby at the end ㅜㅡㅜ I hope we get to see Haiji’s back story in the next few episodes. The flashback of him doing physical therapy was brief but already hard to watch. I hope he’ll be ok! I love him. And I love how the ED visuals of him are so melancholic & cinematic. I love Haiji......... |
 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 |
| I surely did not expect Kakeru to start cheering.. |
 |
| The cheering scene was really wholesome with all the slow motion shots That ending tho D: |
| Some Dope Episode... |
| Solid episode, also noooo Haiji! My poor boy. He deserves the world. Glad that Kakeru is coming around a bit. |
| loved this episode dude. i think i’m hooked the five who ran really are fast jeeeez i can’t remember if glasses grew up playing sport or used to do running? but whatever i’ll go with the flow from now on that cliffhanger!!! oh no |
