| I feel so bad for the second years. ;_; oh well, can't wait for the inter-high! |

He's going to become a beast. that, and he is still riding a steel bike, and he only just got the clipless pedals. Well somehow the first-years won. . . I was hoping the second-years just because they are more experienced. At last, the training camp is done. |

| Only 20 episodes to go. *cries in the corner* |
Alone on a Friday night? Remember that DIO did nothing wrong! |
| Good episode. Onoda did great! so proud of him and the other first years! |

jimjameswhatever said: And of course they (well at least "Perm Guy") lose only to come back to become supportive? Nah, sorry but I don't buy that at all. These are high school kids. I would have expected him to be at least bitter for the next day or so. I also found that scene unbelievable, almost embarrassing. I figured it was one of those morally upbuilding things that anime is so full of, like showing the shounen viewers how one should always be positive and ganbare etc. If Perm Guy instead had been pissed for another day, like you suggest, and then come back positive with those knuckles in the freshmen's chests, at the end of the episode for example, it would have been a stronger scene. But I'm not the scriptwriter and I mostly enjoy the biking scenes in this anime (and manga) anyway! And I don't like Onoda at all... |
| 4 letters to describe this ep. E P I C |
| I'm surprised no one made a gif "mother of god" meme out of the Captain taking his shades off in shock. |
 |
| Onoda learns things right after being taught them... so why do they never teach him the basics until he's at a crisis point? ^^; I mean, if it were me, I'd be like, "WHY DIDN'T ANYONE EVER THINK TO TEACH ME ABOUT CLEATS? OR THE LOWER HANDLEBARS? OR ANYTHING!?" Seriously, I'd be so annoyed. (actually, how come he never notices these things on his own? He's kind of dense.) ^^; At least his powerup this episode wasn't as much of an ass-pull. He did barely make it in time, after all. Also... Where exactly did Teshima get that frame to fix Onoda's bike from? Seriously, where. He wasn't carrying when he arrived, was he? I don't remember seeing it. o.o; I like the emotional weather. When Onoda is sad, it rains, but when he's happy it gets sunny. *lol* |
 |
| Powerful episode, may be your typical situation with the whole realization of talent > hard work but I still felt the second-years' pain. Onoda is really lucky that Perm-senpai came to the rescue. |

majiloveanime said: This was my issue from the start. Onoda sould have been in the cleats to begin with esp. with a bike made for him. I asked this question about 5 episodes ago, plus Onoda should have noticed the other bikes and ask why he didn't have this.... Shouldn't he bike with cleats in the first place? Like, the senpais didn't even notice or something? Oh well, now the arc is over (which I did like) and it's time for Interhigh. I haven't read the manga so I don't know if they third years have graduated yet. |
| What if the Hokey Pokey is what it is all about? |
| As respect for the senpai grow stronger, one only fall more in love the little things. Green-senpai, refiller of water bottles for cute kouhai since 2014. ♪ Just like the Hime kyoudai. Gotta stick up for a brother. ("I believe you, Onada.") *rolls around floor* |
 |
| Ahhhh good episode. Man I feel sorry for the 2nd years, hope they make it next year. |
 |
| Onoda was so freaking irritating this episode. Hearing his monologues was a pain..."No one has time for anyone.." -.- I was all like 'tell them your pedal broke!'..and he didn't say anything to his sempais..luckily Perm Senpai took initiative and helped him. If you want smtg then you shld say it. Keeping quiet would just aggravate the situation and lower the convenience. Even tho I was irritated at Onoda, the last part where he completed the 1000 km with the others rooting for him was heartwarming! Esp the part where Makishima-senpai was holding out the drink with sheepish looking grin on his face lol and when Imaizumi and Naruko were looking at the board..they're so cute! Finally the training camp arc is over. Now we can get started on the real action next ep :D |
| Poor 2nd years, trained a whole year and still don't make it.... right in the feels :( I'm proud of the first years at the same time...doing it all with a handicap - especially Onoda. Though I really don't understand why he didn't say his pedal broke when he got to the starting point again :D He just passed them all and I was like .... "'stahp!' stoooop, what are you doing ?!?"' |
| This shit is laughable now, laughed once when all the first year passed the second year, and laughed again when the second year cried. Not that I didn't feel bad for them, but it's just so funny, Onoda ran out of stamina earlier than them, yet only them couldn't continue. Onoda's unlimited stamina is so funny. P.S. Not done with the episode yet, now at the point the second year cry. Fuck Onoda. Edit: Finished the episode, I am happy for Onoda, for completing the 1000 km and cleared his training camp, but I still don't really like how the author deals with him. Second year senpai are so good, I like them both, too bad there are people who keep saying shit about them on this board, before this episode. Lovin' the OST. P.S. Why bother with the Inter-High tournament? Asspull no main character jutsu will win Onoda the championship anyway. Edit 2: Feel like dropping this series, but I love sports anime so much to actually drop it. |

Voduu said: The moment Onoda and the other first years won that last sprint was the moment I dropped this anime. Okay, not really, but seriously Onoda had no reason to beat the second years-or rather, he had no reason to even be staying side-by-side with Imaizumi and Naruko. The only thing Onoda had in terms of training was riding to Akiba and back, what was it? Every day? But Imaizumi stated himself that he practiced riding an even greater distance every day. Then, during that last sprint, not only did Onoda have less practice and less experience than everyone else, but he was also exhausted, had improper shoes, and had much heavier wheels. He had just done a full sprint against Teshima, so he was clearly very exhausted. The second-years themselves said that they had been saving up their energy for that last race, too. Honestly, Onoda is a terrible character. Sure, he values friendship very highly, and tries his best to not disappoint them, but Kinjou even said that no matter how strong your emotions are, or how true your friendship is, they will not necessarily lead you to victory. Yet Onoda over here seems to prove all of that wrong with pure friendship and willpower. So now we know that friendship and willpower is more powerful than months or years of training. And when he gets his wheels back to normal and uses cleats he will become, put simply, a cycling god (though I can already assume he will still struggle in the Inter-High to the point where a normal person would give up, but then he'll probably think about Imaizumi and Naruko and end up winning like always, or come in the top three with Imaizumi and Naruko). I want to enjoy this show-it was one of my favorite during the first few episodes. But with Onoda blowing away interesting characters in a race with sheer willpower, and going far above and beyond his physical limits, it's hard to enjoy. Furthermore, regardless of how much Onoda struggles or fails, we all KNOW that he will ALWAYS come out the victor when he "tries" to. It's ridiculous. <frustration vented> +1 preach the gospel |

It's ridiculous. <frustration vented> Blame the second years losing on themselves. They would have beat Onoda without a problem, but they decided to be stupid and challenge Imaizumi and Naruko head on. Then they pulled a muscle trying to beat them, eliminating them from the inter-highs. Onoda didn't beat them, they beat themselves. |
| Ahh I feel bad for the 2nd years after this episode. I hope they try again next year for the Inter-High. Though tbh, I don't get why they were suddenly so supportive. It doesn't fit with the past two episode's attitudes. Onoda needs to pick up a beginner's book on racing because he should know all the basics regarding gears, lower handlebars, cleats, etc. Voduu said: Onoda had no reason to beat the second years-or rather, he had no reason to even be staying side-by-side with Imaizumi and Naruko.

Yeah, I can't get over that as well. He's way too OP for someone who's not supposed to be OP to begin with. Like, at least with the other sports animes, the main character has been doing the sport forever. Sigh. |
| Finally he has new correct shoes. |
| All this over-the-top drama and all the tears. I feel so sorry for the second years, I really wanted them to be part of the inter high too. I feel like they deserve it more than the first years. |
| 臭い- |
| my complaints for this episode and the arc in general was stated by people prior, glad i'm not alone on the stupidness with Onoda beating everyone or why no one gave him any advise on cleats and other stuff. I liked that Naruko won the race by a slight margin though, and Imaizumi won over Naruko by a small margin too, and all in all they were like peas in a pod, always together, finishing closely together, i like this rivalry. Can't believe they kept going after that hardass race, i thought for sure they would colapse right after it LOL. Captain was right about a slight difference making a difference near the finishline, poor 2nd years, feel bad for them, body just gave in at that point, can't blame them. THough i think it was stupid of them to even start racing. I didn't know that bikers raced through those horrible weather, it seems unreal o_o Just looking at Onoda slipping and falling due to rain, i'm curious how anyone even completed their program in those conditions o_o Tadokoro and Kinjou are first place huh. AND THAT'S CONSIDERING Kinjou was starting later than anyone else and that Tadokoro was beating him by 30 kms. Wow. Sugoi captain. And Imaizumi and Naruko caught up to him only 5 hours later. so there's 5 hours difference between them pretty much. I wish Naruko or Imaizumi stopped to help Onoda out, but they were too focused on the program, can't blame them, plus they didn't know if he was taking a break or if something happened. I found it kinda ridiculous how a 2nd year came to help him ALONE without a bike in the middle of the road ??? How long did it take him? 2 hours? and how in the world did he have a spare pedal with him. Also why did Onoda say it feels like riding a motorcycle, did he ever ride one? |
| This anime really is laughable. They just spent 3 and a half episodes on showing this neck and neck battle between the first and second years with nonsensical turns of events, when there shouldn't even be any since one group had horrible handicaps to begin with. It's still entertaining enough I guess but definitely not for the right reasons. Can't believe this show is so highly rated tbh. |
| Who cares if sports anime are predictable it doesn't ruin the fun |
  Arteta's Tricky Reds!   |
| Too bad they can't go to the Inter High with Tadokoro. Being there with a senpai that believed in you must be special, but there's at least another year. Was pretty hype episode again and the ending with Onoda making it was another highlight. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Sad for those second years to lose but at least they gave it their all. Good to see everyone except the second years because of their injuries and Sugimoto managed to finish the insane 1000km goal. |
 |
| such dogshit holy crap i fell asleep |
 |
| bullshit, second years should have won that race but they unfortunately aren't main characters. |
| opin·ion [əˈpɪnjən] NOUN
|
| Damn that was fucking awesome!!!! Things are already so exciting and we're not even half way through yet hahaha :D And I was wondering how and when Onoda was gonna get the shoes and pedals! Once you get used to them, they make such a difference >:D |
