| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- That was awesome. I saw some bro like reactions there with the fist aimed for aiming higher rather than fighting. Eh, the weather got a bit worse but oh well. A little rain isn't going to stop competition, right? Poor Sakamachi ;.; riding in the rain isn't easy. Glad they finished though. And what, LOVE HINA?! |

| Those feels hit when the second years were still trying to bike even though they could barely stand :( great episode. Glad onoda made it. Woo |
| Good episode! Onoda make it thanks to the new pedal and shoes. :D |
Nothing ventured, nothing gained (Girls und Panzer der Film ) / from Nishizumi Miho |
| Poor 2nd years. Muscle pulls just before the finish line :(...This world is so cruel to the talent-less T_T Emotional moment with Tadakoro too. Damn that was intense though, even captain took his glasses off XD Although I feel bad for the 2nd years it was a matter of fact ^^; Onoda's struggle after that was nice to see. His despair after his pedal got broken was pretty sad to see but it lead to his nxt power up :D...Thnx to Teshima Onoda now knows the power of the Cleat shoes ^^ Can't friggin wait for the Inter-High. Damn if this practice is no where near enough compared to the Inter-High according to what Captain said then what the hell is the torture they'll be seeing in it O_O |
 |
| dem feels brah 2nd years should just find a different hobby, sike. (just kidding) great episode |
 |
| Pfft, that stinger. Onoda really did get Imaizumi into Love Hime, I'm pretty sure of it XD. I'm really happy that Onoda finished, even though I knew he would (the first episode starts with them at the Inter-High, pretty much), but now that means the camp arc is over with. A good thing, too, I was worried it was going to carry on too long. So looks like we'll get into more interesting things in the next episode. Looking forward to it. |
  |
| If the scene where they lost was in the previous episode, I would have cry like crazy, I think. And the transition would have been better, now because of the second part, it doesn't even feel that they had really lose. Anyway.... I still shed a few tears for the second years :'( Best line of the episode : "Onoda, I believe you." |
| I feel like I just finished watching endless eight again ... ok, maybe it wasn't that bad, but I'm sure glad it's over. Onoda finally has all the tools to be good racer, I'm looking forwards to when he gets his light (speed?) wheels back on. |
 |
| EPIC episode! The second years did their very best in that last sprint, great to see them supporting the first years for Inter-High. Onoda is twice as fast now with those new shoes and pedals c: |
 |
| That was great. Those 2nd years pulled a nice fight. So happy when Onoda finally crossed the finish line. And lol at the omake XD |
| Hyuga Junpei: “Yeah… I’m confident… Because my teammates will help me out! I can shoot confidently.. because it will be okay even if I miss!” Kagami Taiga: “I don’t know about being the bad guy or whatever. It’s only in stories where titles like that decide the loser. This is our show. We’re the ones who are writing the script.” |
| Is... is this arc finally over?! |
I have my own anime blog. It's called Anime Viking. Hope you'll you read it! |
| 2nd years are not bad as I thought they were. I feel sorry for them honestly after they went through training for a whole year and lost their hope in the inter-high. |
| UGH I knew the writers would pull this shit in typical sports manga/anime fashion. During the race they tried WAY too hard to paint the 2nd years as the "bad guys" with the emotional background story. And of course they (well at least "Perm Guy") lose only to come back to become supportive? Nah, sorry but I don't buy that at all. These are high school kids. I would have expected him to be at least bitter for the next day or so. It would have been a lot better if they never portrayed him as "bad" in the first place with such underhanded tactics like bashing into other people's bikes. /rant |
| Yea Onoda made it to the finish line. Liked the ending after the credits. Of course Imaizumi would believe him lol. |
 |
| ... Shouldn't he bike with cleats in the first place? Like, the senpais didn't even notice or something? |
| Hehehe it looks like Imaizumi-kun is hooked on Love hime. He probably asked his mom to record it too. And finally Onoda got cleats! |
| The episode was fun to watch all the way to the end. What I don't quite understand is why the end of the 3rd day's race determined who would go to the interhigh? I know the 2nd years were pushing hard to 'break' the 1st years in their challenge, yet why did the captain and others think that particular lap should determine who goes? This just felt a bit strange to me... |
| All the feels.1st years are going to Inter-high, awesome! i feel bad for 2nd years tho, they have worked really hard to get there, and here they lost to 1st years, kind of sucks for them. Anyways, great episode, and Imaizuni really started to like Love Hime XD |
 |
| haha perm-kun turned out to be good after all! 1000km is tiring for me even to think about =_= next ep, onoda vs. manami! :D INTER-HIGH! hell yes |
| The final power-up, maybe. Onoda had those heavy wheels to deal with too. A larger handicap than Naruko's definitely. |
 |
| Amazing ep |
 |
| Awesome episode let's see how powerful they have become once they get back onto normal bikes xD |
 |
| Dem feels |
| onoda, naruko, imaizumi should rape when hey get the normal bike |
| Cty Best mid |
| The crying...sniff I like how everyone believes in onoda skill. |
| Fantastic episode. Topped the other two sports anime this week. I cried. |
| Okay, I see many people are ranting about the senpais didn't tell or teach Onoda about the basics and shits. But I do remember that once Kanzaki said that he could ride perfectly for the first time on a race bike because he was totally unaware of that and he was happy and he was also going to catch up with his friends. I think that is how Onoda rolls, he can't be taught unless by himself or experiences and it seems like Kinjou knew that. If ever the senpai told Onoda that his wheel is heavy I do think that he'll be really down although Makishima told him later on. Just imagine, with cleat and a new (metal?) pedal, his speed is now boost up two times. Now, imagine him cycling with light wheels. Now, add dancing technique. Okay, done. Just my 2 cents. Episode was awesome, one of the best episode yet of Yowamushi Pedal. Had some feels in it, quite sad for the second years. |

To teach viewers courage and the meaning of justice! No matter how many enemies there are. No matter how strong evil is. Just remember. Does any another country have so many heroes? Has any another country been protected by multiple superheroes? Stand with me, friends! Remember when you used to watch your superheroes! Once you may have given up this dream. But today, you can be a hero!" - Kaname Jouji , Red Axe |
| You know, I don't mind Imaizumi and Naruko doing well in these races because they have experience under their belt, but Onoda doing this well with sub-par equipment is kinda too much. I really felt bad for Teshima and Aoyagi after the finish line collapse too, yet it's no surprise in the sports manga/anime genre where only the "talented" get to rise to stardom no matter how much hard work the others have on them. I really like Onoda as a character, but at the moment he's in the main character loop of almost losing to winning by a thread. This sounds terrible but I want to see him suffer, to actually deal with disappointment and develop into an athlete of his own right. Btw, anyone else want to see him get his own racer eventually? Those aren't cheap I know, but he can't keep on riding on a loaned bicycle forever. |
| Tears T____T OMG so good!!! |
| I wanted 2nd years to win. except that i knew this was gonna happen. |
 |
| CLEATS: UNLOCKED!! |
 |
| At this rate, Onoda will be a god at racing after he learns all the basics |

| The moment Onoda and the other first years won that last sprint was the moment I dropped this anime. Okay, not really, but seriously Onoda had no reason to beat the second years-or rather, he had no reason to even be staying side-by-side with Imaizumi and Naruko. The only thing Onoda had in terms of training was riding to Akiba and back, what was it? Every day? But Imaizumi stated himself that he practiced riding an even greater distance every day. Then, during that last sprint, not only did Onoda have less practice and less experience than everyone else, but he was also exhausted, had improper shoes, and had much heavier wheels. He had just done a full sprint against Teshima, so he was clearly very exhausted. The second-years themselves said that they had been saving up their energy for that last race, too. Honestly, Onoda is a terrible character. Sure, he values friendship very highly, and tries his best to not disappoint them, but Kinjou even said that no matter how strong your emotions are, or how true your friendship is, they will not necessarily lead you to victory. Yet Onoda over here seems to prove all of that wrong with pure friendship and willpower. So now we know that friendship and willpower is more powerful than months or years of training. And when he gets his wheels back to normal and uses cleats he will become, put simply, a cycling god (though I can already assume he will still struggle in the Inter-High to the point where a normal person would give up, but then he'll probably think about Imaizumi and Naruko and end up winning like always, or come in the top three with Imaizumi and Naruko). I want to enjoy this show-it was one of my favorite during the first few episodes. But with Onoda blowing away interesting characters in a race with sheer willpower, and going far above and beyond his physical limits, it's hard to enjoy. Furthermore, regardless of how much Onoda struggles or fails, we all KNOW that he will ALWAYS come out the victor when he "tries" to. It's ridiculous. <frustration vented> |

| I feel so bad for the second years. ;_; oh well, can't wait for the inter-high! |

He's going to become a beast. that, and he is still riding a steel bike, and he only just got the clipless pedals. Well somehow the first-years won. . . I was hoping the second-years just because they are more experienced. At last, the training camp is done. |
 |
| Only 20 episodes to go. *cries in the corner* |
Alone on a Friday night? Remember that DIO did nothing wrong! |
| Good episode. Onoda did great! so proud of him and the other first years! |

jimjameswhatever said: And of course they (well at least "Perm Guy") lose only to come back to become supportive? Nah, sorry but I don't buy that at all. These are high school kids. I would have expected him to be at least bitter for the next day or so. I also found that scene unbelievable, almost embarrassing. I figured it was one of those morally upbuilding things that anime is so full of, like showing the shounen viewers how one should always be positive and ganbare etc. If Perm Guy instead had been pissed for another day, like you suggest, and then come back positive with those knuckles in the freshmen's chests, at the end of the episode for example, it would have been a stronger scene. But I'm not the scriptwriter and I mostly enjoy the biking scenes in this anime (and manga) anyway! And I don't like Onoda at all... |
| 4 letters to describe this ep. E P I C |
| I'm surprised no one made a gif "mother of god" meme out of the Captain taking his shades off in shock. |
 |
| Onoda learns things right after being taught them... so why do they never teach him the basics until he's at a crisis point? ^^; I mean, if it were me, I'd be like, "WHY DIDN'T ANYONE EVER THINK TO TEACH ME ABOUT CLEATS? OR THE LOWER HANDLEBARS? OR ANYTHING!?" Seriously, I'd be so annoyed. (actually, how come he never notices these things on his own? He's kind of dense.) ^^; At least his powerup this episode wasn't as much of an ass-pull. He did barely make it in time, after all. Also... Where exactly did Teshima get that frame to fix Onoda's bike from? Seriously, where. He wasn't carrying when he arrived, was he? I don't remember seeing it. o.o; I like the emotional weather. When Onoda is sad, it rains, but when he's happy it gets sunny. *lol* |
 |
| Powerful episode, may be your typical situation with the whole realization of talent > hard work but I still felt the second-years' pain. Onoda is really lucky that Perm-senpai came to the rescue. |
