Shota ;o

Nice flashbacks I guess. Anyways, obviously there was some tension going on there in the past. I actually enjoyed this flashback. As a kid I think Rin was quite cheerful. He looks dedicated to swimming as well. Hoping for more kick ass swimming competitions soon.

Dat ending, I see a showdown.

Awww i want know what Rei is going to tell Rin

I'm pretty sure that Rin is going to say something along the lines of "you don't belong with them, they better swimmer than you" or something like that

Lol Nagisa tried to covered for Rei even though he didn't know where he was

Cheerful young red hair guy when transferred to their elementary school. Their coach when they were elementary are now their coach again. Nabe during the summer!! lol @ realizing that the teacher is the model in the magazine! The reason he is obsessed about relay... to follow his father's dream... and then "that" happened. After knowing the truth, Megane guy went to meet red hair guy!!

Thetw, who seems to be jealous at each other involving with the main guy and the group, are going to fight with swimming, it seems? lol @ their conversation during the preview. End card is cute!

LOL that was funny when the coach found out how he "knew" the teacher.
I thought Gou was going to show them the magazine to guys for a second, but it was just the photo album

Nice flashback. Rin was a cheerful and funny boy back then. The back story of Rin explained why he had parted company with them, but it felt forced that he still had a rivalry against them even today. His unfriendly coldness was unconvincing to me. Hopefully next episode will explain it more. Maybe Rei is going to play a role of mediator?

We always know one day someone would find out the back (dark) history of the teacher LOL
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

So in the flashback Rin said he's quitting swimming, was that something he just said in the heat of the moment or did he remember that he wanted to be in the Olympics because of his father?

The intensity at the end of the episode cracked me up for some reason, in a good way though because I liked it. But it I still found it funny because of the intense music and directing. And LOL the preview part when they were speaking in English, "all out." The pronunciation was just too great XD and the "perfect body" too.

Rei asking what I was thinking... why is Rin's relationship with everyone so frakked up! LOL

very cute episode... loved the flashback to when they were younger

Also regarding the quitting, I think it's likely something happened while he was training in Australia - maybe he heard something about his father or someone broke his confidence

I knew this time would come!!

We knew Rin was jealous of Rei, but Rei hasn't shown much proof of being jealous of Rin before! I hope he won't challenge him though, he wouldn't stand a chance > <'

I wonder why Rin said he'd quit swimming though! He wanted to beat Haru, so that was just a lie. Especially when he came back many years later all pumped up! =P

Not pleased that there are only 3 episodes left, but i'm looking forward to next week!

Poor Rei, he's beginning to realize that he's in a club that had a phantom teammate that's he's sort of filling in for. Don't you hate that left-out feeling, when you're around your friends but they're all taking about a person you don't even know and you can contribute nothing to the conversation?

And Rei had better not challenge Rin. Rei might be getting better, but Rin would swim rings around him. And if we're talking fist fighting, I still thinking Rin would win.

However, something definitely happened to Rin in Australia, that is where it seems caused him to change. It's almost like something damaged his spirit and hurt his confidence and that loss against Haru broke something within him that was already cracked. In which he said that was going to quit swimming. Why he started up again, may have been the result of anything from anger, to jealousy, to the reminder of his father, to even maybe that he's like Haru and can never stay completely away from the water.

Wow, I'm so glad we finally get to understand what happened between Haru & Rin! Everyone was so cute as kids! (shotas) ;P

When I saw Rin at the beginning of the episode, I just couldn't, omg he was so cheerful and, UGHGLKDJS:lska;dka;l;l, and then when I saw him cry and break away from Haru, I was crushed at the fact of his defeat, and the hurt in Haru's eyes...STOP GIVING ME SUCH FEELS, DANG IT ;~;

I wonder what'll happen next episode, I really hope this series doesn't stop at 12-13 episodes, they could do so much to elaborate/re-build everyone's friendships (relationships ;) )

The ending where the Seiyuus were pronouncing "all out" and "perfect body" = DEAD xD <3
Now I must wait another week v~v

LOL the pronunciation battle... "Perfect body." xD

I'm glad with the direction they've taken Rei in, as his feeling of being left out is natural; I was wondering if they were going to just forget about that but they didn't.

I saw an alternative title for the next episode was "All-Out Violent Passion!" so I'm hoping there's a fistfight. I am really really hoping there's a fistfight. I wouldn't put it beneath Rin; he has a tendency to physically lash out when he's pissed.
And everyone is saying that Rei doesn't stand a chance if it's a fistfight, and Rin probably would win because he's just a badass, but don't forget that Rei is still very athletic, tends to have perfect form, and would therefore stand a fair chance. And if the other Iwatobi boys intervene then that would be fantastic too.
If this anime ends without a single fistfight I'll be disappointed. :c

Where's everyone getting 13 from? I just heard it would be 12 episodes, and I think two more episodes could be enough as the show paces itself pretty well. More episodes has a high potential to make the plot drag on, although I will be going through withdrawl after it's over and then a rewatch spree. xD

I don't know, Rin is also very athletic, he's older, and he's been an serious athlete longer. However, I doubt it will get to fist-fighting. If anything, they'll have a swim challenge, and unfortunately, in that I KNOW Rin will win.

It looks like everybody wants to force Rin to make up with Haru, but still, there are only two episodes left and I'm pretty sure they won't finish it here :C Regionals & nationals in two eps? But they should at least show us they eventually reconcile... What would then be that thing with the prophecy in the temple?
