| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- The race is on! I like the realism of the episode. Fujioka's expression of strength is also interesting considering someone of his caliber. This race brings out the attitudes and strengths of the characters. Gotta love how everyone is aiming forwards their future and they have people cheering for them. A really inspiring episode. |

| Everyone's starting slow. To save energy. Blocking the wind by being behind a person? Others start to run fast, and as expected Otaku guy is last. Interviewing the dark skinned guy, and that another guy (another school who run against main guy) greeted them. He had fun running against the main guy. Listing main characters of the manga he read... Tsubasa? Does that mean Captain Tsubasa? He said he likes main characters, but also like characters that encourage them. At least he didn't give up until changing to next runner. He tried too hard by running too fast, but he cooled down and took it easy. He can pass several opponents. Then to one of the twins. Running while telling his brother to fly. And He got excited to see the girl. lol @ the moment when switching to his brother. Running continues next. It's soon to be that member who got cold the last minute's turn. |

| Wow, I love the way show decided to conclude itself, giving every character from the cast spotlight to climax his solution to his problems and difficulties we observed throughout the show. Ouji part was pretty emotional, was nice to see everyone got his back. Musa part was my favorite this episode, really inspiring to see him running because they're all those people's voices waiting for him. Joutarou part started very interestingly, they really bring meaning to their characters in the end as twins. It ended pretty funnily though. I can't wait for the rest of the cast to get their spotlight. |
  |
| Wow, i really loved this episode! I know i say that every week but i just love this anime. It was so amazing to see what the three runners of this ep felt and thought about their journey! Jota's monologue was so sweet but also kinda sad because he knows that he needs to let Joji go off and do his own thing |

|
| i guess we now know who hana likes, such a great episode. Ouji Best character tbh. |

They could win if Haiji fucks up his leg trying to make them win tho. |

| I hope Shindo will make it in one piece and not with a tremendous amount of time-loss. It sure doesn't look too good right now and with the preview even less. It's great the journalist exposed Musa's situation as student and runner. NdanHM said: look like shindo will got happy ending i think Kansei Team will lose but Shindo's ex-grillfriend saw him, he running with his determination while he sick and then in the ending shindo's ex-grillfriend will back to him That's the scenario I got in my head since they broke up. We aren't 100% sure though that his childhood friend (we saw in the preview) was also his girlfriend. but ... Whatever! Let happiness rain on Shindo ! |
| I likethat each character will have their special moment either those are feelings or backstory. And each one have 20km to run which means its 200km in total, thats like atleast 10h of running, wtf it wil be night time for Kakeru and Haiji |
| I'm loving the moments for each character. Prince looked almost destroyed at the end of his section, true realism. Plus his comment as he mentioned all those shounen sport protagonists, so good. Musa was so reliable, he's such a good guy. Damn, that ending was so funny, I hope it doesn't divide the twins. I'm predicting an emotional as f*ck episode next week for Takashi.

Sadly the very ill looking Takashi is running the last section on day one, which is the longest and steepest. |

| I teared up on Prince's run, it's unbelievably inspirational. I let out quite a sound when Haiji actually apologized to Prince. The show didn't forget and it's amazing that this happened IMO. Musa loves the support from whoever it may come and it motivated him so much that they went over his usual capacity, i think. Jota was basically thinking for the whole run, may it be his future or Hana actually looking at him. He ran amazingly as well, so far all had different motivations that they revealed during the race, i believe it will be like that for every runner up until maybe Kakeru. That preview looks very somber. |
| Loved this episode, Musa and those twins were amazing these episode. Ugh waiting every week for a new episode is painful.. |
| They always get, this time even more than once ;_; How can a series be so amazing ? Like for real, how ? Every single run in this episode had something that really hit close to home and was absolutely stellar in it's presentation. Furthermore, I'm really proud of the boys, including Haiji as well for the non-stop support he provides. He's proving over and over again what a great captain he is. Overall yet another stirring episode and the preview for the next one suggests that we won't get off this emotional roller coaster. PS: Prince is such a man of culture. Had a priceless reaction when he mentioned all those legends. |

| I love it! Prince is such an inspirational character, I teared up when he got to the finish. Musa is so pure and must be protected. Twins also managed to become endearing. I feel like I am part of the team, running with them! I am proud of them. Music and direction were great. I hope Shindo will be alright. This show is amazing. |

| Incredible episode, holy shit. These last few episodes have been one upping each other like crazy. I absolutely love the way they are presenting this, it's so very compelling. Every character we've seen, thinking about everything that's changed over the past few months as they got into running. How it's affected them and how they're moving forward because of it. Just beautiful. Damn, I couldn't help but grin like crazy when Prince mentioned the names of all those legendary sports protagonists. XD All the three runs we saw were amazing but I guess Prince really takes the cake, especially during the very end as he passed on the baton. Absolutely incredible, I teared up. T.T Watching Musa gain strength from everyone supporting him made me smile. :) I loved how Jota mentioned his relationship with his brother and how it's time for them to stop being two parts of a whole and become their own person. It's time for them to take their own future. PV for next episode has me scared a little. |
 |
| all of princes scenes always get me a lil watery cant not want to root for him then he drops all those classics on us, Musa also since hes a brother and it's so rare to one get some spot light twins had me dying at the end |
 |
| oh my god that ending was hilarious hahahahah |
 |
| Amazing episode. It's so pleasant when a single episode left you with such smile on your face. I really love all of this guys, they all have such different personalities yet I can empathize so easily with all of them. Such a great bunch of characters. Prince's section was rather emotional and my favorite one, it really made me happy seeing him giving his all to conclude it. Such an inspirational character without a doubt. Musa's part was also very well handled, he's such a nice boy and the way he gains strength from everyone's support was so relatable that it made me smile... again. And finally, Jota receiving more exposure was also very welcomed. Honestly, I was hoping they give more focus on the bond he has with his brother so I'm really glad this episode gave us more details about their touching relationship. His thoughts about his brother were really heartwarming to hear... "a part of his soul", how touching. Oh well, and that last reaction when he realized Hana might like him was so priceless xD Talking about ways to gain motivation. Overall, it was a great episode. The way they handled every character while they were running their respective sections was splendid. And not to mention that the music direction was also on point, it made every scene absolutely better without a doubt. That preview looks... as someone said, somber. I hope Shindo can finish his section without risks but I guess I'll feel quite emotional for him and his determination in the next episode. |

| Another great episode as always. Crazy how well the show has made you care about each runner and I love that they are emphasizing their own goals/growth during each leg of the race. Doubt they win but would love to see it. Hopefully Kakeru is able to shine and obviously Haji. Only a few episodes left 😩 Thoroughly enjoyed the first twin thinking about how he and his brother are two separate people, pretty inspirational/value driven show |

| been awesome so far, cant wait to see next weeks since we are so close to the ending, guess its time for me to get my shoes on and go for a run lmao |
 Casual Anime Shitposter |
| So that was the reason why the twins went separate directions in the opening! I love how IG uses their openings. Ouji actually made me scream and clap for him. lol. Musa really is a good runner! I was already worried about Haiji but now, I am also worried about Shindo. |
| Another great episode! well done Ouji and Musa! and one of the twins think that Hana likes one of them! haha and it actually helped one of the twins to pass more opponents of the race! nice! 5/5. |
 |
| That next episode preview oh shit we are in for some good stuff |
 |
| Prince's run was really good and kinda interesting to look back at his journey. Rest was okay. |
| I wish the running parts didn't look like shitto, those 3D looking guys are really distracting. Though I guess they looked better than the past episodes. At the end of the day, the series is more a character drama than anything, I guess. |
 |
| Damn it I was all teary-eyed because of Prince and Musa, but then the twins suddenly made me giggle with that ending! |
 |
| This episode was pretty much perfect. Its only flaw was that it ended. It was so moving, and well paced/done that I became a sobbing mess. I loved Prince's section, it was my favorite. I don't know, there was the references to the great ones like Yabuki Joe, the way he sees things, his approach to running, how he can finally proudly say that he is strong, how he knows that there's someone waiting for him in the finishing line, and that he wants to win. I don't know, it was really special. Musa's section was great as well. He ran the ace section and he almost lost his pace, but he remembered Haiji's words and kept his cool. He was amazing. Jotarou's section was my second favorite out of the three so far. We finally got into the head of one of the twins, this may have been mentioned before, but I didn't even know he was the older one. He is really an older brother though, he has been watching over his younger twin and he knows him best than anyone. I'm sure that Jojirou will become a worthy rival for Kakeru. I do wonder if Jota is right about Hana-chan's feelings though. Personally I like the ship, but let's see if she is going to be there for anyone else besides the last section, which will probably kill me. Next episode's big moment is most certainly going to be with Shindo, and with that episode title I just know that I will become an even bigger sobbing mess. May my heart be able to keep up with it. I can't with good sports anime, the payoffs of these moments are just so strong and so rewarding. |
 |
| EVERYTHING about this ep was wonderful, Prince's real thoughts, Musa's determination and to notice, the twins split is coming on its way, now they are aiming for their own paths after a long time being one! Until now i didn't know any differences between them, however it's nice to see how both of them [do things differently and almost everyone doesn't notice that. They are only the same on their genes, nothing more than that. preview ruined the mood tbh. My hint is probably that they will start to be far away from others bc of Shindo. It looks as it will be a pain for him running like that(not just for the team but for himself too, he's very fond of hakone race after Haiji-, it'll be harsh tbh) |
| Great episode. I was worried about the Hakone Ekiden starting with still 5 episodes to go, then I realised in this episode that everyone's got to have their own spotlight. Prince's improvement over the series has been really impressive. Going from stuggling to run a few kilometers to doing 3 minutes per kilometer under a year is really good. Seeing everyone run that well makes me feel bad about myself for taking almost 5minutes to run the same distance. For those who know a bit about the Hakone Ekiden, how does Day 2 of the race work? Does everyone start together and have their times totaled at the end or do they start individually based on time differences? |
JUUSEE said: For those who know a bit about the Hakone Ekiden, how does Day 2 of the race work? Does everyone start together and have their times totaled at the end or do they start individually based on time differences? They start individually based on time difference. But the runners from teams which are more than 10 minutes behind the first team start together and have their times totaled at the end. |
My candies:  |
| Seems that one twin will get the girl and the other twin will get the passion for running. So they will both gain something out of this :D |
 |
| My God, I can't find words worthy for such a great episode like this from Prince's will to Musa's strength, and Jo Taro's last spurt, this episode gave me so many emotions, this proved to get a potential 9 from me. Next episode gonna the toughest part how can he run in that condition..! |
| Looks like the race will span at least another 2 episodes, but I can see them getting another 3 if they stretch out Haiji and Kakeru. Princes section in particular was really good. Some unexpected reflection from Jota about his younger brother. I honestly can't tell them apart and wouldn't have been able to say the younger bro was actually a better runner, but it was a nice touch. The ending with Hana was pretty funny. Next episode is gonna be pretty intense as we get to Shindo's section. I'm sure he'll manage since we gotta see everyone run, but it's gonna be brutal and they are gonna fall really behind. |
| Have we ever been lead to believe the twins actually have any differences though? |
 |
| I'm just so happy for Prince, whatta journey |
