Kinjou is awesome!!! To see Imaizumi to overcome it like Shinkai and draft for the team would be amazing to see!
Midousuji using mental attacks to bring up Shinaki's trauma.
Seeing Hakone's support and trust in their sprinter.
Just how many restraints does Midousuji have? If he wins this... he would be obviously the main antagonist. I want Shinkai to beat Midousuji or I will flip a table (a really small one)! I want Hakone to win over Fushimi!
Seeing Shinkai's demon form... that resemblance to Midousuji, but of course a lot e awesomer.
The next week to see who would win. Hearing Onoda and Tadokoro catching up is nice! I hope they really don't leave it to Onoda to shut Midousuji down in a climb or something T.T I sorta agree with the power ups especially with Midousuji, all those to just make him a good antagonist.

It's amazing to see Kinjou have that audacity.

And Midousuji is such a d*** face. Period.

LMFAO HOLY SHIT. I paused this episode and laughed for like an hour! Why does this anime keep doing this to me? I couldn't even look at Midousuji with a straight face without laughing and now this.

Are you guys sure that candy bar wasn't laced with drugs?

Battle of the freaks. <3

I don't know I tolerate the crazy stuff in Yowapeda while scorning it in other sports anime (realism ftw), but this show is just so over-the-top enthusiastic I can't help but love it. And while Midou-kimou is the antagonist of this story, he's never once cheated. That's refreshing.

Every since the end of the training camp arc this show has slowly gone down hill for me. The first leg of this race was ok. This second leg has been brutal to watch. The power ups and bursts are so incredibly lame it's hard to watch sometimes.

Holy shit Midousuji is such a dick. Shinkai have to win this one.
It wasn't a race between two racers but between two racers with a long tongue.

This Midosuji jack of all trades evil mastermind super athlete is really bringing the series down. The real competition is Sohoku vs Hakone, not a one man show.


Yeah I agree, his character was kind of amusing at first, but he's just such a one dimensional obstacle of a character that weakens and cheapens other characters by proximity to me kind of like Gilgamesh from Fate if not quite as blatantly because people usually do show up Midousuji. Still he feels like a character from a completely different show somehow, like he's not interesting, he's just kind of there to be the bad guy and the last boss.

Midousuji gets some interesting development after the second day. It's just that until that point he's so ridiculously overpowered and poorly developed. It bothered the heck out of me while I was reading the manga, and while I'm glad it works out later it doesn't excuse it at this point.

Same thought here. Seriously, YowaPedal was at his best in 2013. I even considered it as one of my favorite of the 2013 series I watched. But now, the focus shifted and I don't find Midousuji particularly interesting to watch as a antagonist nor as a character. I was thinking that someone should send him to an asylum, but then, Shinkai did his crazy thing too. Putting the opponents aside (and the pacing too), I like the story with Sohoku. I can't wait to see the moment Onoda and Tadoroko catches up with the others.


lol, for a few episodes, I had to skip some midou parts. A little repeatedly pattern.
But love the omake.

I DON'T WANT TO MAKE THE IDIOTS HERE SOUND SO IDIOTIC, BUT I JUST CAN'T HELP IT.

Take a jump to my world, an endless open, clear and interconnected way of thinking:

First, let me tell you how fucked up you are for hating Midousuji. Yes, I accept the fact that he would be better off to become a side character with a little to no impact to the story itself. But listen here, are you that smart enough to be competing with the directors/author? Philosophically speaking, you are not! So please stop pretending like you are one. They, or the directors/author, put him in the story to have a big role in this anime because they knew that it would make the story more interesting, in short. If you can't perceive these words, I think you better of learn the basics from your mother.

Second, let me explain to you how awesome and great (twisted) person Midousuji is. To put it bluntly, he was the most "realistic" character I have ever known in this fictional stories I've been watching ever since. Not only that, he was also my "ideal real opponent" in real life. I mean, those weird attitude and problematic way of thinking of his on how to succeed pictures out the (current) real situation of now's humanity. It might not be that obvious in your place, but that's just how desperate people really are especially in the rural places (which covered the earth's parts more) where I could really observe nowadays. MIDOUSUJI WAS JUST THAT GREAT CHARACTER THAT ADDS SPICE TO THE STORY.

Third, these explanations of mine was supposedly to reach up to fifth but since I don't want to spare more of my energy and knowledge to mindless people that lacks creativity and imagination like you, I concluded that those were enough to at least make an "average person" breath and understand the story normally now so too bad for those who are still hating this anime for having Midousuji act a big role out of it.

Golden rule for me in terms of watching anime: If you don't like it, give it a chance for at least 2 more and at most of 6 more episodes and if you still don't like it, DROP IT.


PS. Please don't ask me what makes me like to continue watching this anime for it's just a dumb question for me to answer and it would surely take my time and knowledge to the point of I'd be spending 1 day of writing a thesis like message just for you to understand it. Also any other question that might belong to "dumb" question category should not also be consider for it will surely not be answered by me in a proper manner. It's okay for you to receive some sarcastic and harsh comments in return right? Then, please do so.
"I'm just your typical human being who commit sins just like you. But the difference is that I never lied and tell anyone that what I did was right. I regret and ask for forgiveness from Him."

Why is my signature not anime-related? It's because who gives a fuck? Anyway I'd like to advertise to you this:

SHINGEKI NO KYOJIN IS FOLLOWING A SIMPLE FLOW OF THE STORYLINE. AND IT GETS REPETETIVE IF YOU VIEW IT ON ITS BIGGER PICTURE. WITH A LITTLE PLOT TWIST AND NEW IDEAS, YOU FORGOT THAT IT HAD ALREADY HAPPENED BEFORE.

^ Why so mad? Midousuji was made in that way, to be HATED. It's not like HATE = BAD. We're people with different opinions and tastes, its just normal that someone hate what he doesn't like, and I think most of us in this thread realize how well constructed is the character of Midousuji, no matter how he's hated. (Although maybe it's still too soon for anime watchers, since we haven't yet had a grisp of his backstory)

Midousuji's character is... just a bit ridiculous. Even if he loses the sprint, which I don't think he will, he should be tired as heck and shouldn't have enough stamina for the end. But he will... because he's Midousuji.

Midousuji is so damn creepy. ><
He's an excellent creepy villain. If a series makes you hate a villain, that's the same as liking the MC... If you never had characters you hated, there would be undramatic stories.

LOLOL. Bishounen turned demon. That was hilariously shocking for a moment.

And wow. Imaizumi sings the theme song shamelessly in his bath. XD

At least his power-ups come from careful planning and studying his opponents, and not through the power of friendship like everybody else. Midousuji is the only reason to watch the show anymore, he makes it entertaining. Even though I know MC's will win because plot armor.

Only another psycho can defeat Midosouji. SHinkai FOR THE WIN. Shinkai is a freaking highlight for the anime. The demon Shinkai with the tongue out is the best, the music was so great at that time too. The trauma was too great, glad he overcame it. Totally understandable for him to have such trauma, of course very sad. He is such a great sprinter and this might keep him back. BUT he can't let his team down <3 And speaking of his team. man his team is the best after Sohoku of course <3 They trust in him. they know he will overcome his weakness and that he is the fastest sprinter. They believed in him during flashback and during race. He knows they believe in him too.

I'm starting to like Midosouji more. I really hate his overconfidence, his psycho, evil personality. But what i like is his seriousness and how big of a strategist he is, knowing his opponents mental weaknesses and utilizing them. Studying his opponents, not only relying on his own plan and his team, but studying opponents and their weaknesses. That's great.

Imaizumi felt down :( Kinjou is great tho holyshit. "If someone struggles we do everything to support him". Great words. He even decided to draft for him team even though he is ace. I'm Kinjou, snake of the stone path. <3 They are waiting for the rest of the team to return so they can race normally. Damn it sucks tho to ride as a 4-man, Naruko was drafting for them, he seemed to be the most emotional during that scene. Did he really named an opponent a Gorilla LOL

Midousuji got me fooled last episode, not gonna lie lol. Shinkai has overtaken my favorite character spot from this episode, his normally easy-going attitude is so likable, he's extremely strong, his overcoming his trauma was admirable, and his demonic side is too badass. I wonder how many more tricks Midousuji can pull, he was holding back this entire time still. Maybe he's too overpowered. I have no doubt Shinkai will win this one.
