| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Brothers sure are similar in their ways, and Sho's older brother Goyo Hayamichi is no different, being on par with Rindo in the surfing space. The experience of trying to attempt the waves of North Shore, Haleiwa, Honolulu, and indeed is on a different level than what the other Bishounen surfers have experienced in Japan. Time to get training, boys, learn as much as you can from the perspective of another pro surfer. Like brothers, Hayamichi was the one who taught Sho how to surf, and for good measure of interest. But for Masaki, whose ambitions is to surf like Sho, it's just merely impossible to imitate trying to tackle the shadows of a dead person. Sooner or later, he has to make HIS own mark by surfing his own wave, and that's what he did: the "Show must go on", and he finally broke through the huge waves. At least that's a positive I can find about him without being irritating, taking things seriously for once and overcoming the waves of the past. That's a wrap for the Hawaii trip, and it's back to Japan for the final episode next week. How glad I am for this show to finish soon. |

| So I guess the anime will never tell us what actually happened to Sho...? Which is weird and feels all sorts of wrong. Going with a sudden surprise disappearance that doesn't get resolved for a while is one thing, but not resolving it at all is something altogether different. One can only get along with hints and allusions for so long before it starts being an issue, or gets deliberately put aside because why should anybody care if the anime itself doesn't? And then the constant mentions only become an annoyance... At this point I'm a little tired of "Sho this" and "Sho that" when the main issue around Sho is still being kept hidden and obscure - yet we even get a substitute for him, who looks just like him, although he's only technically his big brother?? I have a headache. |
| Sho was really adorable as a child. But I have to admit I couldn't enjoy this anime as a whole because Sho's death literally bugs me. 6 EPs passed since he died but the pain is still strong. T__T |
| So, Shou big bro taught and gave such an advice to the gang how to be a better surfer. The focus of Masaki surely heavy this time. A lot of cringey moment and kinda facepalmed me much, especially when he, for the infinite time, got saved from that danger again. Smh, boy, you must go on! So, thats it like i expected. He finally moved on and bam, he did it with style. Case closed, and the episode end with an okayish note. Sigh. Bye-bye again, Nalu. Bye-bye, Hawaii xd. |
 Hide and seek is the best offline games on this fatamorgana-called-world-thing. Please comment nicely. I am newbie here. I'm level  on mal-badges. View my badges  |
| It looks like Sho really is dead. I was hoping that we'd find out that he was alive, but his older brother is the closest thing that we're gonna get. Masaki was really having a hard time, but Sho's brother finally made him realize that he needs to be himself, and not simply replicate Sho. Masaki finally improved, so much that Fuke complimented him. And now, they're leaving Hawaii, and the sexy Nalu. |
 |
| really hate how japanese tell stories. always leaving it a mystery and always leaving it up to the viewer to think of the ending |
| The double rainbow thing at the end (xD)... well at least Masaki improved |
 |
| #SHODESERVESBETTER than being a weak plot device. You would have thought that at this point they would have finally revealed what triggered Sho, he was clearly not being himself. Shame. |
 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 |
| For once, I have no idea what's gonna go down in the last episode |
 |
| Since the brother didn't reveal much other than a flashback of him teaching a bored Sho, I guess we'll never know the mystery on Sho's death... |
