Gotta say, not a fan of shoe Horning everyone's backstory to when they're running but still like the show

The feeling when you really relate to a anime character. King is my man.
That ending seriously made we wish it lasted 1 minute longer.

Also, when Kakeru said he's in love too I NEED TO KNOW WHAT HE MEANT. Pls I need an answer in the next episode and I really freaking hope he meant with Haiji and not with running, but he probably meant running XD

and haiji calling him beautiful even though he meant his running form lol


Running form or not, he still called him beautiful ;)

i hate how they make thrills in those scenes tbh, it is always up on my mind that something bad will happen like fuck.

I cant deal with more drama in the final ep, please.

My boy Kakeru is transforming into Super Saiyan W (Wind). That's the only way he can surpass the limits of the human body.

I really like Kakeru. He is one of the best developed characters in the show.

The episode having as protagonist the character of Kakeru, it is normal that he focused all the attention on him, when he took the field in the marathon, but he gave anyway some time to better characterize the character of King, which was missing to the appeal and of which it was known, as for the others, very little of its character.

Joji's so silly. Kakeru literally just said he's in love with King ;) lmaoooooo. Jks. He's in love with running, that's what xD
I can relate to King tho. Believe me, my loneliness is fully embraced as well lolololollllll
I adore how Haiji is the core of the whole team. Everyone's flashback has got some Haiji lovin' in it ;D ;D

The Wind God has just blessed Kakeru with the speed of gust! XD

He always be stripping when he runs, like some Sailor Moon henge shiet LMAO. I love it hahhahahahhh

HERE COMES THE FINAL BATTLE.

I love how as soon as Kakeru starts running his hair starts going all aerodynamic on us and that's how you know it's serious business. He was such a frustrated boy but he's come so far. Also lol at telling the twin that he's in love and just leaves him hanging.

King is awesome too. He was also extremely frustrating in the beginning but now I understand him.

So Kakeru is in love with King. Nice. It sure was satisfying seeing Kakeru overtake so many runners and everyone amazed by it. But I also enjoyed King’s thoughts. I think I like him the most in this anime! As a person. Kakeru is the running man.

good job King! Running is really the perfect time for self reflection and we see that with King. I can't believe it took us almost the whole anime to learn more about King and how he has struggled finding where he belonged and how he fit into college life. It's nice we finally got his backstory but also i wish it wasn't the second to last episode.

Kakeru really out here having out of body experiences, entering new dimensions and finding enlightenment through running lmao we see his skin being cast away and sparkles being generated from his feet dfksjd we see his vision clear up and a strange blue light swirl around his chest like he's god's only son reborn sdfjkslsjldfs why are the creators of this anime so extra when kakeru runs lol he's just running fast

but anyway i enjoy it hdhdh i think if anyone can beat a section record, it's kakeru. fujioka is a great opponent for him.
excited for the last episode when we get to see haiji run, too! good luck to my kansei boys!!

Focus on King was great as I'm sure a lot of people feel like this in their daily lives.
But just to have something that makes you feel something sometimes is enough and for King that was running along with the boys ^^

Also I loved Kakeru's final scene, that felt like something I normally only ever feel in my dreams.
Being able to run so fast you're basically not even touching the ground, loved the way they showed it.
