| Toudou and Makishima's rivalry was one of the best arc in the manga and they really did a good job animating Toudou's despair when he realizes that he can't compete with his one true rival one last time in the place that they promised. Also Makishima's internal conflict made me really feel for him, I could see how much he wanted to race with Toudou but he knows he can't for he is the kind of person that would never selfishly abandon the team for his own desires. Makishima is such a good person for sacrificing his own happiness for the sake of his team. T^T A rivalry that goes unfilled really does bring tears to my eyes (and they haven't even scratched the surface of how deep and heartfelt Toudou and Makishima's rivalry is). |
FatefulLove said: This must be hard for Maki... the rivalry shown was nice. Really interested to see Onoda's high cadence This pretty much. I wanted to see more Onoda this episode. but it was still good none the less! |
 |
| Nice episode. Looks like Onoda was just sitting there for a few minutes. |
 |
| Ugh, I read the manga after last episode because I couldn't wait to see what happens. Regret. Now there's a a lack of excitement because I know what will happen. =.=" Ah poor Makishima. 3 minutes! |
| All Onoda has to do is sing the Love Hime theme to himself and he'l catch up in no time! Really glad to see the rivalry between Makishima and Toudou, I was really curious about them. It sucked that they couldn't go through with their last race in the Inter High, but hopefully when Onoda catches up they can have their race. I love the backstories we've had but they kinda slow the pace down. But even so I love every episode. And yeah, Manami not saying anything about Onoda I thought was really weird. |
| Felt like the pace was dragging a little there, but the strong cliffhanger made up for it. |
| Makishima T__T Toudou T__T Onoda GOOOOOOOOO !!!!!! I hope to see their last race soon |
| Damnit, Onoda still screwed Maki over |
 |
| ABS are contagious... while doing bicep curls? That "Because we're third years!" speech really got me... Maki-chan's got my full respect for sacrificing his last chance to settle his rivalry with Toudou for his team. Onona, you'd better catch up soon! |
| "There's no shame in falling down... true shame is to not stand up again!" "Aah? Of course I won't miss!" "My blood tastes like Iron." "Run through the tape in life! Never give up! Run through the tape!" |
Morcombe said: NoiselessFavre said: was he reallly just sitting there the whole episode? No, Onoda's attempt to overtake 100 people happens simeltaniously This is a relief, although in that case I wish they had put Onoda getting back up at the start of the episode. |

| To all: I'm a cycling geek. This post is a rant from someone who wishes to have a series which focusses not on being shonen, but on being about real cycling. So beware! Sourire said: the only thing I hate so far.. (and this happens in every anime/cartoon/etc) is talking while they're physically active.. heck they are riding uphill for 15 minutes while talking and aren't out of breath. Meanwhile, the pack still hasn't catch up, what a bunch of scrubs. I think - in this episode - the talking fairly realistic. Do you watch cycling in real life? If so, you should remember this. The ones that did all talking were the strongest climbers, who didn't ride very fast in order not to drop their tired sprinters. But I'm also aware of this problem: it was one of the things that ruined the sprint episode for me. The bunch not catching up, however, is a good point: they really should be able to close the gap. And I can't seem to remember why that gap was there in the first place. But there are other things that irked me: why do they want to take those sprinters along with them? Those should sit back in the bunch, or if the race gets harder, in the gruppetto. There were many times during this series when I had to think about one particular quote of Luis Herrera: "When I saw riders with fat asses climbing cols like airplanes, I understood what was happening." And from a tactical point of view, this whole series is a mess. Like depicting that the only way to draft is riding behind teammates. Seriously, take that opponent's wheel! And with all this climbing, why isn't Maki the race leader? The only reason I can think of is that we will see a flat time trail in a few episodes. I understand why some things are done this way - like trying to keep the main characters together. But I have to say understanding is not agreeing. If I remember correctly, this is a 3 day race. They should've made three kinds of stages: one sprinting, one hilly and one mountain stage: we could have three longer arcs which could focus on different characters (the specialists on that area), while showing the others from time to time to see what their roles are in this race. |

| Great episode...i loved the focus on Makishima and Toudou. My heart was paining for both of them:'D |
| Damn you, Onoda! If you didn't panic and fall, Maki would've taken up Toudou's challenge and settle the score.. But coz of you, Onoda, he had to sacrifice that challenge and take one for the team!! Ugh, I was so frustrated that Maki had to refuse it after all that "last time to do it... 3rd year" speech. What's with Onoda sitting there for a while waiting for his friends to arrive.. Wasted precious seconds/minutes. ED was so cute and funny! When I go jogging, I'll continuously say (in my mind) "abs, abs, abs, abs...." lol! |

| Isn't it like impossible for Onoda to catch them up now? if he actually catches them up later on i'll unfortunately have to call that a big BS :/ |
 |
| Maki is waiting for Onoda then. Hence the three minutes. Makishima actually has a lot of trust for Onoda |
| Too much fab rivalry. Here come the tears. |
 |
| UGHHH this episode made me so sad D: MAKISHIMAAAA |
| Lolol Maki's smile xD Really enjoyed seeing the rivalry between Toudou/Maki. |
| Pissed off at Onoda the entire episode. Still pissed off at Onoda. |
 |
| Well that story wasn't amusing to me, so they have a history of challenging each other and need a tie-breaker. and then Toudou was about to cry, hehe. |
 |
| THIS IS ONE GOOD FREAKIN' EPISODE FOR YOWAMUSHI PEDAL SINCE FOREVER. When they first showed the flashback, I thought, "No way, another flashback?" but the flashback was actually quite good. So Maki-chan and Toudou met one year ago? They only knew each other for one year? Hmm that's unexpected. When I saw Onoda still at the spot he fell looking all cool and shit, I was like.. "Dude why are you still here -.-" and the last pushing part was a little cheesy, but it actually feels really good. Morcombe said: NoiselessFavre said: was he reallly just sitting there the whole episode? No, Onoda's attempt to overtake 100 people happens simeltaniously Thanks for that good piece of info, but I hope they won't make a while episode out of Onoda catching up. |

| Onoda is holding up my battle between Makishima and Toudou. Man I hate this kid. |
| Maki-chan got superb control over himself. Come on Onoda, you got to catch up. |
| Toudou sure seeks a final win against Makishima, i think it was nicely shown how desperate he is. He was talking to him for quite a while, the frustration on his face and the tears at the end after he realized Makishima is their only climber. The backstory was quite nice, Toudou witnessed how interesting Makishima's dancing is and became quite attached to him after several races together. MAkishima is pretty confident by saying 3 minutes... I can't believe Onoda will catch up to them. really... Seeing sleeping beauty in action was interesting alright. I also liked how Kinjou is trusting in Makishima's decisions, saying he knows mountains better than him. IT shows their closeness a bit, i don't think captain would trust every random person. |
| I really do not like the game with time in this anime. In one of the episodes, participants travel 250-300 meters and have time to carry on a dialogue, while such a distance can be traveled in less than 30 seconds. Onoda fell and remained the last, and instead of going all out and trying to catch up with the rest of the race, he stands and wonders if he can catch up with them. Each second is about 10 meters backlog and to win back these 10 meters you need to make much more effort than a cyclist who rides ahead. |
 |
| aw man this is so sad, all toudou wanted was to climb that mountain with his bf |
| Maki-chan and Toudou got a typcial rivalry going (maybe they're a bit too focussed on it) and you simply want to see them going at it. Desperate situation for Onoda, but if it's him you know that he can do it, especially since it's going to be a climb. Teshima's and everyones support was nice to see. Makishima hasn't given up on him either. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| I'm feeling bad for Makishima not being able to go ahead and compete with rival Toudou for the mountain checkpoint since doofus Onoda isn't there to lead the team |
