| Not going to lie, I thought this episode was boring even with the tense atmosphere, emphasis on the future, training topics, etc. Houshou also lost his cool...he needs to chill out. |

| Hayato has some real drama with one of the instructors (Nohira), which happens to be his father of all people. More trainings for the jockeys, in this case: a monkey riding lesson that can trip the jockey if their body balance is not strong. This is meant to imitate when they're doing actual jockeying on the horse, but Hayato being overweight doesn't help things be better. Welp, Yu's friends Kosei and Masaki have come to visit him to check on him, but it just continues to cast a shroud on his former idol life which he's trying to distance himself more that his former agency will not relinquish him from giving up his talent. Either way, from the moment he allowed them to document his life in the school, he's done for, allowing them to use footage as they please to their liking. While the others find ways like Sumo or surfing to counter the monkey riding issue, Hayato is just trying to expunge himself and get back into shape to prove to his divorced father. Drama just got real, but this feels like a mish-mash of different plot lines trying to interfere with one another. That's kinda a brutal cliffhanger though... |

| This was such a dramatic and tense episode. Poor Hayato. There's so much pressure in his life. The situation with his father is pretty sad. And Yu's has to deal with his own issues. That cliffhanger. P.S. Amane's Engrish never fails to amuse me. Also, I can imagine how rough that monkey training would feel in real life. |

| Great episode! Wow, i feel sorry for Hayato having to go under all that stress about his health... And his dad is Kazuo Nohira?! And Yuu is expected by the agency and his old idol group to come back to being an idol when he doesn't want to... seriously, why don't they leave him alone? Looking forward to the next episode! |
| AISHITERU...REM! |
| Oh Yu's conflict was pretty interesting. I wonder how he's going to get out of this one. Painful cliffhanger though. |
 |
| Other two boys in boy band looks better lol, yu and his past is annoying as hell. Sucks the long hair boy is sick from not eating. I really dislike that documentary girl too and who allowed them to record for this purpose lol, hope the school got payed. Interesting to see long hair and the instructor being related. Long hair sure has broken down and I hope next episode wont shoe its because of his weight that caused that accident like wtf. |

| I really liked this episode. It was drama heavy, and I love drama. Plus, the directing was also quite well done. Hayato has not been eating well, and it's getting very stressful for him. I don't understand how he's supposed to be seen as heavy. He looks so thin. Guess he has an eating disorder, and that sucks because it makes you feel like you are in control when it is the one that controls you. Yuu was finally getting better and starting to enjoy himself. And, his friends also seemed to have forgiven him. But, it turns out his boss had no intention of letting him do as he pleased. This anime treated his feeling of being trapped quite well. If this had more episodes, I think it could have been done even better. The scene with Yuu meeting his old friends was directed really well, I think. I could just tell something was about to go wrong. And, when it went wrong, even the camera and colours did the story telling. The boss said something that I have been told a lot, which was why I instantly hated her. "Do what others want from you, and not what you yourself want." I was expecting her to be a simple antagonist. Something boring and cliché like the ones you see in Haikyuu. I didn't think she'd talk like that! She needs to be defeated! I knew this episode was building up to Yuu and Hayato's conversation, but I was expecting some sort thing scene where two cute boys help each other heal. Something wholesome! However, Hayato and Yuu ended up having a fight, and things got worse for them. That cliff-hanger! Oh god, I am worried about the horses. And also the boys. Well, at least Aki got to meet his idols. He looked so happy to learn Yuu was actually a sadist and liked being called Yuu-sama. lol. Edit: I just looked up height and weight limit for jockeys, and Wiki says they need to be very light. 49 to 54 kgs. While there is no height limit, the need for lightweight means most of them are short. So, now I can see why Hayato is so stressed out. It's way worse for him than I first thought. |

| What an unexpected turn of event by revealing that strict instructor to be Hayato father. Despite his strict trait, he's so worried about his son even if Hayato won't be like it that much. Interesting to see when Hayato weight problem and stress collided into and by mixing that up with Yuu another idol deal with that annoying persistent president, which i suspect kind of related to him. Yuu still had the determination to stay away from the idollish hell. But he's also kinda wrong taking into account that thing on to Hayato face, while he also facing the same yet opposite position from what Yuu got at those time. If only they can switch body, he said, yet the cliffhanger granted his wish in an instant.... |

| Hayato didn't have to lash out at Yu in that way. I understand he's dealing with his own problems, but yelling at someone isn't going to help. And don't even get me started on the President. It's incredible how far they'll go to reach their aims. |

| That hag has no right to even use the word "talent" when she looks like my grandma's old scarecrow. I sincerely hope she visits the academy and a horse "accidently" kicks a bucket full of crap on her. Then her outfit would bring out her personality even more. |

| That's cool balance boards benefit jockeys. I've only ever used one for snowboarding. Was fun seeing them in an anime. |

| This was the best episode for now. Whatever Hayato said in his emotional outburst was actually quite relatable for me. And Yu was actually being a realistic brat but it's understandable, the Ceo should respect Yu's decision and stop stalking him. But then again what matters to them is the sales so they wouldn't give a shit about Yu's wish. That monkey squat looks painful, just looking at them made my thighs burn. |
| Damn, discussiom of eating disorders was not expected. Also, Yu is 15 years old and tried to retire as an idol, of course it wouldn't work that way. Idols are under contract, it seems he believed his contract would end soon?? Being an idol is insanely difficult, but I liked that Yu talked about the restrictions. There's little to no freedom as an idol. Makes me think of BTS's recent hiatus. Even idols suffer from eating disorders, I wonder if this will be discussed in the context of what Hayato is suffering from. I was a little sad that Yu tried to talk about his feelings and what he just went through when talking to his companies CEO, but Hayato wasn't in the right headspace. It was a little messed up that he couldn't validate Yu's feelings, but in society, you should always check in with somebody before unloading like that. Of course Hayato would blow up, Yu was perfectly aware of his issues with his weight and eating properly ☹ Ending credit is scary, looks like Yu and Hayato's horses collide?? |

| So... Yuu forgot to cancel his Idol contract with the agency or what? |
| the fat woman, is in truth a character? seems a a misshapen mass!!! kekeke |
