KazzyKatty said: God damn a tiny part of me is feeling sorry for Adam cause he went through all that family crap of expectation and abusive discipline and now his ideals are all so f-ed up. Damn he even looked cute as a kid in that one scene with Tadashi. ARGH TADASHI YOU’RE SO COOL PLEASE SLAP SOME SENSE INTO ADAM!! And Reki pleaaasseee make up with Langaaaa!! I remember one comment saying how Reki should be the “support” in making boards and honestly I do agree BUT I HOPE HE DOESN’T GIVE UP SKATING CAUSE HE LOVES IT SO MUCH! Exactly.There is nothing wrong with Reki being the support guy by making boards when it's been established that he's been Langa's support since the day they met. It was Reki that make Langa's skateboard and taught him how to skate. He doesn't have to give up skateboarding, but he needs to find his own path as a skater and develop his own style. Too me he can be one of those experimental/recreational skaters that tries different concepts. |

| Damn, JOE is a fucking beast. His "Power Break" move was so unrealistic, as pretty much every stunt in this show but man was it cool to see. Also love how caring he's with everyone. The man has such a big heart. By the way, I absolutely enjoyed the part with Langa's mom freaking out and then proceeding to give relationship advice to her son xD Overall, it was another pretty nice episode. This "tournament" aspect of the show has been rather exciting to follow so far. Not really a fan of the foreshadowing regarding Reki becoming a skateboard maker tho. |
| Decent episode, the drama is kind of ruining the show.. |
| Fuck yeah Tadashi I hope he beats Adam. Looks like Reki gonna become a support huh. I know that's pretty much been foreshadowed since episode 1 but I do hope he gets to have at least one big skater moment before the end. |
 |
| for me...personally, this is my ranking of them! 1st SNAKE 2nd ADAM 3rd JOE 4th CHERRY BLOSSOM 5th LANGA but if LANGA became really adult pro he can beat even ADAM but not sure when it comes to SNAKE! since he is the one who thought ADAM how to skate... 6th MIYA 7th SHADOW 8th REKI since you're LAME!!! 5/5. |
 |
| Holy shit this drama stuff is so bad, it's obnoxiously serious with random doses of child abuse, police and political nonsense. They have completely derailed this show from the tone that was originally set in the opening episodes. |
| The real identity of that butler guy is revealed. He must be way better than Adam that's why Adam doesn't want him to participate. Adam had a messed up childhood which led him to have this weird personality. Can't really sympathize because of his personality... Those aunts are disgusting... Reki's still in a slump. But it's nice to see Joe helping him. The final will definitely be Adam VS Snake. |
| Shocks!!!! The BL vibe is soooo strong this episode >,< I don't know how to react on it. Everything is so good on ep1-7 but on ep 8.. hmmmmmm >,< I like BL but not forcing it. I hope Bones will not force a ship here please huhu (I'm fine with Joe and Cherry lol) I feel bad for Reki, but I really think he is best at "supporting" skate boarding like mechanic or something. He did it with Langa's skateboard so I think he will be fine, but for now.. it's sad to see him like that. The competition scene is hilarious lol especially on Joe xD Adam is mentally ill, he's more creepier now, the scene of him with his secretary looks like a BL rapey troupe xD it feels like that. |

| Proverbs 4:23 Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. |
| The tournament is quite interesting so far and it was also interesting to get more info and backstory moments about Adam, I understand why he's like that now, his aunts are really crazy, it seems like he suffered a lot during his childhood... and seeing that Reki is still depressed isn't really good, I hope he'll have a speak with Langa to clear up things |
 |
| the justification of abuse bc of love is so sucky but interesting to see adam developed further along with his twisted view of love. i think my heart broke when adam put his hand on langa's shoulder and he was so happy bc he thought it was reki :(( i am very much liking the adam/tadashi storyline |
| I miss seeing reki's motivational and happy persona.. hope some sort of enlightenment reaches him soon but ig it's too late to ask for a character development arc. I'm getting more and more disinterested and tired of adam's background and messed up mindset. really had to go for the traumatic-childhood-leading-to-abusive-pedophile trope :/ adam: *appears* my mind: *kill bill sirens* the queers out here celebrating for langa's indirect confession (a mainstream anime w explicit dialogue inferring a same-sex crush? :') *tears up |
 |
| I dont understand why everyone has a problem with Reki being sidelined when it was him who removed himself from the protagonist role. let the character do whatever he wants, for gods sake. |
| I really don't want Reki to just be support. I would love it if he continued to grow as a skateboarder even if it's at a slow pace. ;o;; I mean, I understand if he's just support, but I feel like it'd be kinda blah to say like only skate if you're good.;; |
| Really hopes Reki cheers up because it hurts watching them. |
| They are doing dirty to my boy Reki they didn't even put him on the main roster now they are probably gonna put him in a supporting role fuck!! Overall 7 Out of 10 This Some Bullshit FROM the main character to side character in 8 episodes damn!! |
 |
| Reki should soon realis that while he may not be on the same spotlight as Langa and the rest, he can support them from behind the scenes. I didn't expect SNAKE to participate let alone be extremely good at it, hopefully we get some explanation why he takes all the crap ADAM has done to him. |
 |
| Just wanted to say that I love Reki very much <3 It hurts to see both him and Langa hurting, but I hope they do talk more about what they have been feeling and work things out. Pretty good advice from the mom, and it the confusion of it being a she was funny. I feel like I'd be nervous if my future kids came to me for advice too X) Also idk what Joe was really talking about...but at least the guys understood him. It was cool of him to give his own advice and look over the them. And I thought Shadow was going to improve as a character, but obviously not.The laser must have hurt even more for someone with glasses. And I'm still pissed off about his comments about Reki >:( Let's see him wet his pants if he ever goes up against Adam. And I hope Miya regrets his comments about Reki too, and appreciates him as a skater and friend. Interesting to learn more about Adam and Tadashi/Snake. I feel bad for the abuse/manipulation Adam went through as a kid. I hope Joe, Cherry, and Snake finally knock some sense into him...and he steps up/reflects on his actions. |
| Epic start. Adam starts getting WAY too competitive, wanting to meet his 'match' like creepy Hisoka. And we also know why he's got issues based on his concept of 'love', due to the way his aunts treated him. They are showing how competition and confidence can get to one's head with Tadashi and Adam (Reki and Langa - though, I doubt Langa would ever act the way Adam does). That was so sad when Langa thought it was Reki but it was Adam. Joe touched my heart just then talking to Reki. Mom: "You like that person right?" Langa: *panic* That was so cute! Joe is killing it. |

| Joe has what the kids call "Thicc legs" |
 |
| I hope the ending isnt some childish "its ok to not be amazing!" theme where Reki gets downgraded to a board customizer or something like they've been hinting at, it'll be so lame. |

| @cableguyjay yeah it's what I've been afraid of too and tbh I don't see it ending any other way : | he better make a comeback and start thinking of Snow as a worthy opponent |
