EPISODE REVIEWS
This episode was really interesting to watch. I don't know how I feel about it just yet. The tension, the pacing was there. It was focused mostly on Midorisuji's team, Kyoto Fushimi, and Hakone. The dynamic between the two teams is very interesting because of their ideologies. Kyoto Fushimi is a team that only wants to win no matter what. And they will get rid of teammates that are considered dead-weight. Midorisuji will do that. Hakone was also very much win-focused before, but they have grown now, they are much more of a team. So it's interesting to see how the dynamics play out in this episode. As always, I hate Midousuji very much.
Things just keep getting more intense, yet the story never loses sight of the characters. I found myself paying attention not only to the race, but also to how everyone reacts under pressure. That's probably my favorite part of Yowamushi Pedal so far. It makes every challenge feel personal instead of being just another competition.
Sakamichi's endurance was surprising. He did all of that, and yet he still does that to them. If only I could punch Midousuji, I would. He is so annoying. The tension is now evident. The end scene was a bit uplifting to watch.
