Damn...those leg muscles.

Still a very intense race although this one imo focused more on the technical side but still with good storytelling. I think the muscle part might of been over-exaggerated a bit but was fairly appealing when it came to the fierceness of this race. Midosuji and his craziness LOL...

Midousuji's final form is fucking creepy.
Loved the NaruZumi moment tho with Imaizumi like 'Naruko, give me strength' and I love how Imaizumi abandoned his obsession with beating Midousuji and as a result became stronger ;-;
That omake with Manami's magic ahoge tho

Midosuji's crazy antics totally make this show. Best high school anime villain ever.
Glad I didn't drop this during the training camp arc.

"If friendship was all you needed to reach the finish line, everyone would place first."

Even though I dislike Kimousuji, I totally agree with this.

That final form Midousuji is friggin' creepy and hilarious! The way he stretched his neck forward reminded me of Orochimaru. Still the best character though.

Good to see Imaizumi giving up on the obsession to beat Midousuji. Loved the insane and intense racing between them!

I thought Midousuji was going to fall there for a moment. That quick adjustment was pretty nice!

Good episode. That Manami Ahoge in the Omake seems to have special power to detect rare cards. Onoda should trust it for once. XD

When he kept head-butting Imaizumi's ass I was cracking up omg.

I literally couldn't take it seriously with the headbutting, like jesus have some chill Midousuji, don't take it out on his ass.

Thank goodness for the omake, or we might have been deprived of our as-of-late weekly dose of unsettling blue angel. Thank God for ahoge and anime.

Another thing to be grateful for: final forms and short shorts.

Midousuji's true form and just that look was quite entertaining.

That was really intense with Midousuji vs Imaizumi! The ever small hints of Imaizumi showing signs of fatigue and how just one error from both side would've end the race made it really exciting! Those are some really crazy ways to try and reach the goal!

Well, it looks like we finally get to see Midousuji's "true form." And...it's just as creepy as ever. Seriously, he is the embodiment of creepiness. Haha

I always knew that Manami's hair was alive! There was just no way that it wasn't.

Midousuji's was creepier like never, exaggerated but I get the point and it's fine.
It seems the race is going to end in the same episode but I guess it's still pretty far, because Fuku-chan still need to appear sometimes.

I think Midousuji and Imaizumi are gonna destroy themselves and Onoda will have to take the finish line for Sohoku against Fukutomi/Manami and perhaps still Midousuji, that's my guess.

I must admit that I'm finally enjoying Imaizumi, he is being very badass. Meanwhile I still do not like Midousuji, his power-ups are so forced that make me mad. z-z

I hope Imaizumi win or at least ends in a draw, also I'm suspecting that the race to the finish line will be between Manami and Onoda. lol

This payoff for Imaizumi's struggles is spectacular, as well as the most realistic thing to happen with his work ethic coupled with his natural talent and ability to grow during a race.

That headbutt though..

So much fujobait this episode lol.

Is this Midousuji's Final Form? Find out on the next episode of...
"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!"

How the heck is all that headbutting and deliberate contact not an instant foul?! Does Japan just go "screw the rules" when it comes to road racing?? Watching Midousuji in this match really makes my blood boil. Hope Imaizumi fixes him up real good in the remaining episodes. Onoda is as invisible as always.... He is probably the least involved main character I've seen till date.

Where's Manami and Fuku for the second half? They're obviously not done yet. Onoda also needs to step it up still. I'm definitely hoping for a lot from Fukutomi because they emphasized him quite a bit.

Yeah it's somewhat annoying to put action and sports anime together and sacrifice the rules for it.
Midousuji is a pretty unfair dude and should have been banned from the race long ago.

Lets just hope the freak won't win in the end ;)

Why does this anime act like playing bumper cars with your bike and headbutting isn't something that should immediately DQ you from a race?
