What a beautiful youth: hormones gone crazy and ideal to gogò. The episode sums up everything I wrote just now and finally puts the right excuse to cement the friendship and give a goal, all as manual, nothing new under the sun as regards the plot. Excellent Ouji, finally stands out from the bottom more than the other characters.

Hell yeah, Ouji!

I love the guy with the socialist T-shirt, he's my best boy (Not really, it's Haiji (not really, they're all really cool)).

Sakaki is one of the most ridiculous antagonists I've seen in a long time. The whole "conflict" between him and Kurahara looks so pitiable. The way he always shows up at just the "right" moments and constantly criticizes others is tiring.

Does he have a stick up in his rear and isn't able to forget about the past or what's his problem?

And sometimes I think that the dialogues seem unnatural. Why would he explain his intentions to someone from a sports university he just met? Well, it was convenient for the viewer.

Best episode so far. I also love the pacing.
Kakeru can't express himself clearly. I got annoyed by that Sakaki kid but at least he triggered Kakeru. Prince was so cool in this episode!!! And also the twins lol.

Prince's manga MC heartfelt/inspiring speech was great xD as was his finish line moment HAHAHAHAHAHHH. Love him so much <3 whatta guy!

I hope Kakeru learns to say what's on his mind by the end of this series ^^" I may get mad at him, but I'm not one to confront others either, ahhah. Too pacifist for that shit ;3 but when I really need to, I do step my foot down. And that's what he needs to learn to do.

Haiji's straightforward and passionate eyes at the end <3333333

Damn, this got real psychological real quick, didn't expect the encounter to trigger such a situation. Sakaki was really immature, that's for sure, annoyingly immature. Kurahara is struggling mentally, interesting.

Kurahara's got some serious baggage!
I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats.

Could this be the straightest sports anime ever?!
Rest in peace, Prince.

Loved this episode! Those flashbacks and the psychological side of this episode shined and showed kakeru's character.

The storyboarding & cinematography is so good, I really love the direction of this anime. The last few frames of Kakeru’s feet angled towards the team & walking towards them was so nicely done. I really feel for Kakeru. There’s something about his aloof & cold attitude that makes him seem so alone & dejected......I think he knows he’s not alone now. Great episode!

Sakiki has a stick up his ass I swear. That was annoying when he wouldn’t leave them alone. Talk about extra!

And Ōji steals the show as always. I love his facial expressions when he’s trying so hard while running lolollll they are drawn really realistic & funny at the same time. But after what he said, I find it admirable ;)

Kurohara's Panic attack was traumatic

The OST is too good probably in my top 5 :>

and there goes the first confrontation. i'd like to think there is more to Sakaki than simply be framed as an antagonist, but that's for later encounters. some of the cast are being sidelined to their assigned tropes, especially the twins, but princes gets his bite of that tasty character upgrade (his preach) and progression (beat his record). Jetstream Sam's shown some subtle hints of long-lost love for running, let's see more of that!

Everyone dunking on Sasaki but I'm sat here like "Yes you make a good point" 

These kind of "You can do it if you try" mangas/novels/animes really need to be taken with of salt. 

There'd be no way to beat people who literally trained their entire lives in just 10 months of training.

What did Sakiki mean with "ekiden an insult to track and field" and the level talks thing? Bilibili translation. Not sure if it's translated literally.

As someone who just started running, I don't know if I believe Prince took 35 mins in his condition LOL
