| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Wow, Naruko is awesome this episode. I really liked the way he fired up. But the awesomeness that really came would be from Rinter. The bromance between Rinter and his other club members is quite interesting though. I like how their team are almost like a family at times. Really intense episode in the second half. DEMON FORM SHINKAI UNLEASHED. I can't wait to see who will win. |

| Restraints on his quads? Is this for real? If he grew an extra pair of legs next episode I wouldn't be surprised, his character is so full of shit. |
| the official MAL hall of fame/cursed comments is now open for business - you are welcome to PM me any potential quotes to include |
| You can't pass left because you hit a rabbit... Demon form power up... Limiting leg power with bands... Every since the end of the training camp arc this show has slowly gone down hill for me. The first leg of this race was ok. This second leg has been brutal to watch. The power ups and bursts are so incredibly lame it's hard to watch sometimes. |
| Kinjou is such a great guy; supporting Imaizumi in his slump and letting Naruko rest by drafting for the team. Perfect Ace! Midousuji is so friggin' creepy yet so hilarious! I can never take him seriously. XD Didn't expect Shinkai to have such a weakness. That was quite a tough one indeed. What's this? Shinkai is trying to be the 2nd Midousuji?! XD Nevertheless, he was definitely a badass demon! Great seeing he finally overcame his weakness with his demon mode. Looks like Midousiji also had a handicap. Not bad. He actually caught up with Shinkai at the last moment. End segment was hilarious! Imaizumi is finally singing the "Hime" song without hesitation! XD I can see him turning into an avid anime fan in near future! Awesome episode. What an intense sprinting race! Really good stuff. |
 |
| Hahaha ... Imaizumi singing the Hime song in the bathroom at the end was funny xD IZEROII said: You can't pass left because you hit a rabbit... Demon form power up...

The power ups and bursts are so incredibly lame it's hard to watch sometimes. I think that Shinkai didn't literally power up , the so called demon form was an exaggeration used by the author of the manga in order to show that he overcame his fear :) And I don't see anything strange in limiting your leg power with bands because it's Midousuji we're talking about here.. |
 |
| Sucks for him to not even pass anyone by going left because of what happened in the past. But I guess his inner demon is let loose and was able to do it. I hope he reaches the checkpoint first. |
 |
| O_O that was such a friggin HYPE ending >.< Awesome! Demon Shinkai is creepy as hell XD Dat tongue and voice change :O So Midousuji was acting all that time?! I really can't hate him. Friggin amazing. And he had limiters!! Awesome! But at least we finally see him using his full power :D Loved the scene when Sohuku were smiling after hearing about Onoda and Tadakoro. Also good to see Imaizumi finally getting over it. The post credit was lol. Imaizumi isn't even hiding it anymore XD Dem oppai at the end :L |

IZEROII said: Same thought here. Seriously, YowaPedal was at his best in 2013. I even considered it as one of my favorite of the 2013 series I watched. But now, the focus shifted and I don't find Midousuji particularly interesting to watch as a antagonist nor as a character. I was thinking that someone should send him to an asylum, but then, Shinkai did his crazy thing too. Putting the opponents aside (and the pacing too), I like the story with Sohoku. I can't wait to see the moment Onoda and Tadoroko catches up with the others.Every since the end of the training camp arc this show has slowly gone down hill for me.

| The breakpoint for this season is going to be kind of weird. It doesn't seem like a very good place to stop, because they probably won't make it past the second day. Midosuji has to be going faster, so I feel like either the racers are planning it to be close. In that case they really need to be more serious about the race, Just because you're in first doesn't mean you can take it easy. Shinkai should have been pulling out all the stops after being tricked like 3 times already. |
| This Midosuji jack of all trades evil mastermind super athlete is really bringing the series down. The real competition is Sohoku vs Hakone, not a one man show. |
| “Suppose, gentlemen, that man is not stupid.” |
Ineptia said: This Midosuji jack of all trades evil mastermind super athlete is really bringing the series down. The real competition is Sohoku vs Hakone, not a one man show. Yeah I agree, his character was kind of amusing at first, but he's just such a one dimensional obstacle of a character that weakens and cheapens other characters by proximity to me kind of like Gilgamesh from Fate if not quite as blatantly because people usually do show up Midousuji. Still he feels like a character from a completely different show somehow, like he's not interesting, he's just kind of there to be the bad guy and the last boss. |
| Well, that thing about he researched his opponent kinda surprised me there. Haven't read the manga yet but I think Hayato gonna win it. Guess it's only a matter of time for Imaizumi to become an otaku lol.. |
| Keep moving forward |
| All I can say is 'EPIC". |
| Cliffhanger much! Not sure who's gonna take the sprint checkpoint ahhh |
| The monster part was just imagery, he was going into beast mode. That was Midosouji's last trick. And its normal for him to win against a guy who stopped bycicling for a while, he hasn't stopped training since he was a kid. I mean i feal like Midosouji won seing his final speed up. Other than that its so cool to see the trust they have in Onoda, can't wait for them to catch up !! |
| Shinkai better win............. Midousuji is really annoying. He needs to be crushed now. |
 |
| Lol at Shinkai sticking and wiggling out his tounge |

| Shinkai better fucking win. Midousuji should die. |
 |
| Kinjou is awesome!!! To see Imaizumi to overcome it like Shinkai and draft for the team would be amazing to see! Midousuji using mental attacks to bring up Shinaki's trauma. Seeing Hakone's support and trust in their sprinter. Just how many restraints does Midousuji have? If he wins this... he would be obviously the main antagonist. I want Shinkai to beat Midousuji or I will flip a table (a really small one)! I want Hakone to win over Fushimi! Seeing Shinkai's demon form... that resemblance to Midousuji, but of course a lot e awesomer. The next week to see who would win. Hearing Onoda and Tadokoro catching up is nice! I hope they really don't leave it to Onoda to shut Midousuji down in a climb or something T.T I sorta agree with the power ups especially with Midousuji, all those to just make him a good antagonist. |
 |
| It's amazing to see Kinjou have that audacity. And Midousuji is such a d*** face. Period. |
| Woah, i read this part in the manga but he was still a bigger monster that i thought he was xD |
 |
| only 3 episodes more, it seems that we have to wait till ss2 to see the end of Inter High |
| LMFAO HOLY SHIT. I paused this episode and laughed for like an hour! Why does this anime keep doing this to me? I couldn't even look at Midousuji with a straight face without laughing and now this. Are you guys sure that candy bar wasn't laced with drugs? |
| Battle of the freaks. <3 I don't know I tolerate the crazy stuff in Yowapeda while scorning it in other sports anime (realism ftw), but this show is just so over-the-top enthusiastic I can't help but love it. And while Midou-kimou is the antagonist of this story, he's never once cheated. That's refreshing. |
 |
| Midousuji probably has restraints around his waist and teeth, a super chocolate bar and energy drinks laced with cocaine too, just in case ;) Midousuji pulls out a stuffed rabbit next ep. calling it! XD |
 |
| How many handicaps did Midousuji put on himself?? |
| wow and i thought Midousuji was kimui but that scene Shinkai showed some kimui scene hard battle i hope that shinkai wins this he is way faster than Midousuji his weakness was holding him back hope that wont be the reason he falls here. |
 |
| The dangling tongue. Plenty of team and friendship this episode. |
| Shinkai OMG!!!!!! Beat Midouji !!!! Imaizumi singing Hime Hime Song!!! So cute <3 |

| Holy shit Midousuji is such a dick. Shinkai have to win this one. It wasn't a race between two racers but between two racers with a long tongue. ichii_1 said: Midousuji pulls out a stuffed rabbit next ep. calling it! XD Rotfl, it would be fucking hilarious. |

Midousuji gets some interesting development after the second day. It's just that until that point he's so ridiculously overpowered and poorly developed. It bothered the heck out of me while I was reading the manga, and while I'm glad it works out later it doesn't excuse it at this point. |
| The little scene after the end credits was adorable. I'm rooting for Shinkai in this situation, but god what does this show have with people sticking out their tongue? |
 |
| To me this show just gets better and I think it's cool how Midosuji always has a trick up his sleeve. :D |
| My signature is lame... |

| Wonder how long it will be till we till learn Midousuji is the way he is because of something that happened in his past that made him that way, then everyone will feel sorry for him, happens all the time, xD. |
| to sum up this episode lets sing some Hime Hime together this will power up everyone. |
|
| I DON'T WANT TO MAKE THE IDIOTS HERE SOUND SO IDIOTIC, BUT I JUST CAN'T HELP IT. Take a jump to my world, an endless open, clear and interconnected way of thinking: First, let me tell you how fucked up you are for hating Midousuji. Yes, I accept the fact that he would be better off to become a side character with a little to no impact to the story itself. But listen here, are you that smart enough to be competing with the directors/author? Philosophically speaking, you are not! So please stop pretending like you are one. They, or the directors/author, put him in the story to have a big role in this anime because they knew that it would make the story more interesting, in short. If you can't perceive these words, I think you better of learn the basics from your mother. Second, let me explain to you how awesome and great (twisted) person Midousuji is. To put it bluntly, he was the most "realistic" character I have ever known in this fictional stories I've been watching ever since. Not only that, he was also my "ideal real opponent" in real life. I mean, those weird attitude and problematic way of thinking of his on how to succeed pictures out the (current) real situation of now's humanity. It might not be that obvious in your place, but that's just how desperate people really are especially in the rural places (which covered the earth's parts more) where I could really observe nowadays. MIDOUSUJI WAS JUST THAT GREAT CHARACTER THAT ADDS SPICE TO THE STORY. Third, these explanations of mine was supposedly to reach up to fifth but since I don't want to spare more of my energy and knowledge to mindless people that lacks creativity and imagination like you, I concluded that those were enough to at least make an "average person" breath and understand the story normally now so too bad for those who are still hating this anime for having Midousuji act a big role out of it. Golden rule for me in terms of watching anime: If you don't like it, give it a chance for at least 2 more and at most of 6 more episodes and if you still don't like it, DROP IT. PS. Please don't ask me what makes me like to continue watching this anime for it's just a dumb question for me to answer and it would surely take my time and knowledge to the point of I'd be spending 1 day of writing a thesis like message just for you to understand it. Also any other question that might belong to "dumb" question category should not also be consider for it will surely not be answered by me in a proper manner. It's okay for you to receive some sarcastic and harsh comments in return right? Then, please do so. |
| "I'm just your typical human being who commit sins just like you. But the difference is that I never lied and tell anyone that what I did was right. I regret and ask for forgiveness from Him." Why is my signature not anime-related? It's because who gives a fuck? Anyway I'd like to advertise to you this: SHINGEKI NO KYOJIN IS FOLLOWING A SIMPLE FLOW OF THE STORYLINE. AND IT GETS REPETETIVE IF YOU VIEW IT ON ITS BIGGER PICTURE. WITH A LITTLE PLOT TWIST AND NEW IDEAS, YOU FORGOT THAT IT HAD ALREADY HAPPENED BEFORE. Also, Tokyo Ghoul is AWESOME. Especially :re. |
| ^ Why so mad? Midousuji was made in that way, to be HATED. It's not like HATE = BAD. We're people with different opinions and tastes, its just normal that someone hate what he doesn't like, and I think most of us in this thread realize how well constructed is the character of Midousuji, no matter how he's hated. (Although maybe it's still too soon for anime watchers, since we haven't yet had a grisp of his backstory) |
|
| Midousuji's character is... just a bit ridiculous. Even if he loses the sprint, which I don't think he will, he should be tired as heck and shouldn't have enough stamina for the end. But he will... because he's Midousuji. |
| "There's no shame in falling down... true shame is to not stand up again!" "Aah? Of course I won't miss!" "My blood tastes like Iron." "Run through the tape in life! Never give up! Run through the tape!" |
| Great episode again. Midousuji's tricks seem endless. I'd like more backstory for him. |
 |
| Midousuji is so damn creepy. >< He's an excellent creepy villain. If a series makes you hate a villain, that's the same as liking the MC... If you never had characters you hated, there would be undramatic stories. LOLOL. Bishounen turned demon. That was hilariously shocking for a moment. And wow. Imaizumi sings the theme song shamelessly in his bath. XD |

| A bit ridiculous, but still intense. Also, yeah I agree with the people saying Yowapeda's not as good as before. The introductory episodes were excellent compared to now, but it's still great. The omake though <3 |
