Wow, I was really impressed with this episode. Might be my favorite one yet. We got Midousuji vs Naruko as both really steps it up to their game. The back and forth trash talk and the intensity of the race just made it even more exciting.

Great episode. Got everything I had expected. Naruko should be proud of himself too.

I was hoping they would just forget Midousuji, but the over the top shitty anagonist is back again. yowamushi no pedal is one of my favorites, but he's one of the worst characters I've ever come across in anime

Well aside from "Gross" Midousuji have every time he pedal, that is no doubt one awesome race. Too bad he's "evolving" when it's not an official race.

Awesome episode.

Naruko vs Midousuji was intense and really cool. OST was so awesome.
Midousuji's evolved form was nice, but that was quite the gross evolution. xD

Damn, Naruko lost. Well I can't say I expected him to win but I did want him to win. :(
Pretty emotional moment with Naruko crying post the race., you'll make a great all rounder Naruko :((

Post ED scene was hilarious. XDD

Everything was great about this episode - Naruko, Midousuji, the post ED scene, the OST, GOD WHY DO WE ONLY GET ONE EPISODE PER WEEK

"My nose is bleeding 'cause of how fast I'm racing" yeah right fgt, who could ever resist Midousuji's sex appeal?! That's gotta be the real reason.

Midousuji was amazing!
His new form is really creepy, his "transformation" scene was epic though, gross but epic.

Kinda sad when you think about it. If he was going to lose, it would have been a lot better on his ego to have lost to a sprinter.

He lost to someone who doesn't even specialize in sprinting

All rounder Naruko will be more awesome than Imaizumi
trust me LOL
Midousuji is really tricky, you now naruko have been 2 sprinting race before
and Midousuji still fresh. and midousuji ask for long ride sprinting race
that normally naruko will exhaust before finish

Poor Naruko, those last moments were so intense and still lost at the end!
Midosuji's representation of evolution= So gross!!(Also, did he do that to his hair, or did it actually happen during the race LOL)
The extra at the end was so wrong! Midosuji's reaction was "normal" (But seriously I don't want to see this guy molt ever AGAIN!!)!

Great episode,intense and epic.

The animation and ost were top tier too,i'm glad there's still psychological evolution after the inter high,i would have thought they would not have been much stronger than that but damn i was wrong,now i can't wait to see Naruko new form.

This was such a great episode. Probably, One of my favorite races of the series as well.

Honestly, I'm glad Midousuji won because I love seeing the drastic measures he'll take to win. I'm sure they'll get even better when he rides against Sohoku in the Inter High.

Ahh, after just one episode focused on him I remember why I always wanted Midousuji to end a race with his head impaled on a piece of broken guardrail or being pushed off a 1,000-ft cliff.

At least Naruko shouldn't be too depressed, considering he didn't actually lose to another human, rather...

... whatever the hell type of species Midousuji would be classified as.

Midousuji has evolved into his new form: Mosquitosuji.



This was a good ep. I'm glad they didn't drag this race out over 2 eps or leave the winner undecided in a cliffhanger or something. Plus any ep with the best character is always a good one.

I personally nolike the outcome that Naruko lost against Midousuji but the future consequence for that is for the better because I agree with Imaizumi that if Naruto would be an all rounder he's gonna be a better part of Sohoku.
Midousuji would eat later his words because he said something after the race that Sohoku lost a member...well that's invalid and I would actually thank actually give thanks Midousuji because it would only let Naruko be much stronger in the future races.
All-rounder is basically the highest asset that you could get in team races!
5/5.

That was disgusting. I can't believe the freak won.
He got way too much screentime too.
If Naruko really stops being a sprinter because of this, I'll be extremely disappointed.

He's the worst. I can't think of any anime character that I hate worse than him.
My MAL score for the anime went down because of him.

That omake in the end Ha-hahaa. "Was that you?" LOL
Felt bad for Naruko:( but like that guy said: "Frustration makes you stronger" so he can come back even stronger or succumb to the defeat.
Midosouji can't get any creepier than this right? with that dragonfly stance. lol

That's what I like most about Midousuji, he's so strange and yet so formidable, beating others only to give them the chance to change and grow stronger.

Looks like we get to see Naruko evolve down the line, too!

I really hate Midousuji and I think his character is such an ass pull? Ffs, he's not even a sprinter, how did he beat Naruko except for "bullshit op plot armor"?

I also hated how the mangaka forced Naruko to become an all rounder like this, it would've been a lot better if he had won but thought that he will give climbing/all rounding a try for the team or because it looks cool as well, anything, as long as it wasn't horribly forced like this. To have Naruko stop "being a sprinter" after this just leaves an incredibly bad taste imo.

This episode was really good. It was easily expected since Imaizumi was trying to get Naruko to become an all-rounder anyways- Naruko was willing to bet his Sprinting and Midousuji-kun would not be ditched like this as he is pretty integral to the overall story. I love emotional Naruko, gets my blood boiling in a good way and he's already ready to step-up! Love these two guys, plus Ishigaki appearance is awesome!

Without forever whining Onoda this anime is much more interesting.
Once again, I was convinced that it would be better if Naruko was the protagonist.

Midousuji's metamorphosis was quite nasty to look at, 'Gross-uji' really lives up to his nickname
After Naruko threw away his saddle I really thought he would win or at least draw ...but I guess we got a new all-rounder on the team and it ain't Midousuji wearing Sohoku jersey.

FUCK.

I knew it was going to happen, but they were surprisingly so on pair through the race that I committed the mistake of hoping for Naruko to win.

All rounder Naruko will be so fucking depressing. He already had less focus than Onoda and Imaizumi, and now he'll abandon his strong sprinting (which differentiate him from those two) to instead use a style that characterizes Imaizumi? Not only that but Sohoku also lost their best sprinter. This sucks.

I hope he at least becomes a better racer than Imaizumi, it's the only good thing that could come from this results.

It was extreme, I kinda knew it since the beginning, who was going to win, however I didn't want that boy in Takeo's group, but I didn't want Takeo to stop being a sprinter. Anuwy I hope this help Takeo to be better in the future and in next races, and maybe becoming a sprinter again.
