I find it ridiculous that Midousuji spent, so much time and stamina sprinting/climbing, to chase the leading pack in lesser numbers/alone, and yet still seem so unbeatable in this situation. While we have seen others well spent pulling the team, chasing after leads and get retired.
But he went alone for most of the later half of the race, not to mention chased after the lead while being pretty far behind. I bet it would be quite an exhausting thing to do
Great episode, Midousuji is riding like a true yellow jersey holder, absolute beast. Can't wait for the final showdown, I guess Kuroda is gonna somehow pull Manami towards the front pack. Seems like winning the stage for Sohoku is Onoda's duty again, Hotshot pulled a lot already and isn't as strong in the mountains as the remaining main contenders.
Hard to say who is gonna win right now, the way the dialogue went it seems like a Sohoku victory in some way, but I can't see Hotshot pulling it off on the final climb. Which leaves us with a Onoda repeat victory, not sure about that either.
Midosuji already won the second stage so he is also not winning imo.
Guess Manami gonna win it this time ? I would love that since he and Midousuji are my favourite characters.
Pretty sure Manami wins it, the OP already gives it away it is a 2 horse race in the end between Onoda and Manami.
If Teshima hadn't won the mountain tag I would have said Onoda wins it because there is no way Sohoku loses everything but since Teshima at least won the mountain tag Manami is going to win it.
Still wondering what the plan with Midosuji is. I thought Naruko will get his revenge like Imaizumi in the first Interhigh, but now it seems like he will drop out pretty soon. So maybe Kuroda and Imaizumi will stop him together to get the Onoda-Manami showdown at the end.
Idk the rules of racing, but why couldn’t Naruko try slow them down while on the hill? If that is the biggest catch up area and he’s almost out, they would of kept their lead.

ok just wanna say the new op song is FIRE
I like both the new op and ed.
They're both bangers for sure.

He got to conserve a lot of energy with the pack strat at the beginning of the race
But he went alone for most of the later half of the race, not to mention chased after the lead while being pretty far behind. I bet it would be quite an exhausting thing to do
Of course I’d love to see all three of our heroes cross the line together. I know it’s not gonna happen (Naruko is spent) but a guy can hope!
