Probably the most surprising part of this episode was the fact that Kimura is married and has a daughter.

Yeah, I'm not buying that whole thing from his wife that Kimura is cool. I'm thinking it's some sort of hostage situation. ;oP

Yeah, the whole Kimura family situation shocked and scared me in equal measures... I think the funny thing about this episode is that everyone was going crazy, like Chiyo tearing that paper up and Kaorin scaring away her old three-legged race partner! Oh, and Yukari rubbing the loss in class 2's face was a highlight as well!

Like I alluded to with last year's culture fest episode, this outfit isn't so bad.

Well, best case scenario, it wakes him up to the fact that... he should probably stop. Or maybe he'll continue, but make an exception for his daughter. Otherwise... yeah, that'd just ratchet up the creepy factor.

"...but I'm not fat." :D Actually, Yomi's problem seems more like self-perception than anything.

Owwww... ball rolling on feet...

No, Yomi, that's not the worst possible setup, but I daren't say what is...

"Go toward Chiyo" would have been better directions.

I think I understand why he'd mention Chiyo, aside from just the notability of a preteen being in high school: a preteen would be less likely to be considered an object of that kind of attraction than a teenage girl would.

"HAAARRRRR!"

Osaka's brief pre-marathon monologue is actually pretty poetic in the dub. Probably in the original Japanese, too, not that I can tell.

"I cannot follow this way of life!"

And then Yukari's behavior makes them lose their desire for juice...
"Say, Tsukasa, how do you eat a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup?"

About fourteen minutes in. Loudspeaker announces the beginning of the "borrowing race". Chiyo-chan on starting line. Osaka shouts encouragement, Yukari-sensei screams about barbecue. Gun is fired; race starts. Music is piped in over the loudspeaker. Now. WHAT IS THE NAME OF THAT BLASTED TUNE THEY'RE PLAYING? What, in the name of all that is sacrosanct, is it called?

This will be the death of me, I just know it will.

wow /tomo's really good at paper-rock-scissors
and osaka really slow as always.

rofld at the scene when kagura was asked which place she finished in *fifth - open palm*
then osaka says "paper?" lol just one of the many moments that got a laugh out of me.

kimura has wife and a kid? wow never would have guessed that one.

I can't believe that guy is married! like they said that woman must be a saint or something, but shes also weird herself, wonder what the daughter is like?
and another sports festival done, all things worked out it seems

Oh! A couple of interesting inversions here. The more obvious one, of course, is when Kagura beats Sakaki by one in the 10k marathon after having lost to her last year in two different races.

The other one... remember when Osaka was the only one to have been beaten by Chiyo in a race? Well...

This was easily the best episode so far... Hilarious. It had everything you need to have.

-Yukari-Sensei's good sportmanship
-Kimura-Sensei's coolness
-Osaka's Slowness
-Kaorin's rainbow moments

even small things like "paper" and Sakaki waving to the kid twice ^_^

5/5!!!

This grand celebration of sport! Kimura is the maximum as in the previous season, the episode funny and cute, but the best comes when the teacher utters the fateful words:Mai waifu!!!XD Superb the final part comes when his wife then! Sakaki and Osaka win!!

Best part for me was probably when Yukari was loudly telling Class 3 to beat Class 2, but Minamo and her class heard it through the wall and Minamo was just like "So, I'll take the register now." XD

The show should be obligatory to all teary-eyed single people as an encouragement. Anything's possible if even Kimura managed to get a waifu.

Stumbling upon the original scene for what started the waifu meme, truly glorious.

This confirms that Alicia from Aria is related to the original waifu and will forever be better than all other waifus due to status. On a serious note, hearing that infamous "Ara ara" struck me as I had to pause to check if it was Alicia's Seiyuu. FeelsNiceMan.

Overall, a very funny episode and I screen-capped so many moments in this episode. This episode holds a special place in my heart for the meme history and funny reaction faces.

Best episode ever.
This one of the most iconic episodes, because not only did it spawn the term 'waifu', but it also shocked the world. Kimura has a family, and his wife loved him. You lucky bastard.

The world may call you a creep, but we salute you for finding love. Now, get the hell out of the proximity of the girl's bathroom PLEASE!!

Saorin/Kaokaki....I ship it. And so do the rainbow jets.
ONWARDS! Away from homework and on to more anime!!!

And lmfao at Yukari mocking class 5.
