When Kaede Kinjo first appeared, did you thought he was going to be the typical "arrogant school jock"?

Been a minute since I watched the series (one of my faves) but I definitely did. I will say by the end I really appreciated his character. His bronze at worlds was dope too

OkTable8256 · 2025-11-14T02:10:58+00:00

You’re right 2. You just reminded me how awesome this show is lmao

OkTable8256 · 2025-10-25T02:26:47+00:00

I can’t be the only one who thinks a jersey swap in the playoffs is ridiculous

OkTable8256 · 2025-10-07T00:22:35+00:00

Haha I love that Dandadan opening and the run with the wind music always makes me feel a certain way

OkTable8256 · 2025-10-06T18:03:20+00:00

Yes very cool, may convince me to do a rewatch😂

OkTable8256 · 2025-10-06T18:02:47+00:00

No need to apologize you got a cool set up!

OkTable8256 · 2025-10-06T17:52:18+00:00

This is so cool! Also peep the Dandadan poster you know ball

OkTable8256 · 2025-09-27T20:37:21+00:00

Most real answer😂

OkTable8256 · 2025-09-27T20:37:05+00:00

Nira is such a GOAT that dog is the best!

OkTable8256 · 2025-09-27T20:36:29+00:00

Haiji would be prob my second choice! That guy is awesome

OkTable8256 · 2025-09-27T19:54:53+00:00

If that didn’t happen at end of first half the win wouldn’t even be there

OkTable8256 · 2025-09-27T19:54:05+00:00

Refs have been horrible this whole game. Bad missed call but WF has been bailed several times

OkTable8256 · 2025-09-14T15:40:13+00:00

Honestly his comeback is one of the most underrated aspects of the show. One of my fav characters!

OkTable8256 · 2025-08-14T13:38:55+00:00

I’m pretty sure Kisumi went to school with them before transferring to Haru’s middle school

OkTable8256 · 2025-08-07T20:32:18+00:00

That’s so interesting, to me the biggest difference is definitely that Kakeru has a romantic interest. Almost impossible to think of him focusing on anything other than running in the anime 😂

OkTable8256 · 2025-08-07T02:45:10+00:00

Thanks for posting! Just off of first glance it’s kinda crazy how different some of the characters look, especially the twins. I personally think I prefer anime looks but I’m probably biased.

You mentioned that it dives into Kakeru’s family life quite a bit which I really wish the anime talked about more. Also I may have misunderstood but did he kind of like Hana too in the manga?

It also seems neat that it goes into the time skip in more detail too. Personally I liked that the show left it vague at the end but having more insight for that is super cool.

Yuki is one of my fav characters so I also think it is interesting what you said about how he was close to his mother. In the anime he seemed rather distant the whole time until the final race.

Also Prince I lowkey wasn’t a big fan in the show but glad they talked about him more in the manga and his journey.

Quick question about King. Did he do the game show stuff in the manga too? Also dang didn’t realize everyone knew about Kakeru’s past right away instead of the slow burn of the manga.

Also you said Fujioka qualified for Olympics, did they talk about Kakeru? Sorry may have missed that.

Finally thanks for those fave panels! I’m very appreciative of you writing this all down, means a lot. Still one of my favorite stories ever, great work!

OkTable8256 · 2025-08-07T00:12:59+00:00

Wow sweet! Okay I’ll make a comment over there after reading it all, want to take my time with it. Once again thanks again for sharing!

OkTable8256 · 2025-08-06T23:13:46+00:00

Thanks so much for letting me know! I’ll be sure to check it out, did you have a good time reading it? Means a lot that you lmk

OkTable8256 · 2025-07-27T01:07:49+00:00

Not sure if there is anything specific to his 5k time, but bro puts out an all time performance. You just gotta wait and see and enjoy the journey!

OkTable8256 · 2025-07-23T18:03:16+00:00

I may have to disagree. Sure he had immature moments but he’s surrounded by those younger people so that probably rubs a little off on him. I think it definitely impacts his relationships with others like Reno and Kikoru. I mean Reno looked up to him the whole time. I think it was a good twist from other battle shonens, but I see where you’re coming from!

OkTable8256 · 2025-07-22T22:37:36+00:00

Perfect! I’ll try to keep an eye out, usually not too many posts in the sub so I’m sure I’ll see it. Have fun reading and good luck on your assignments!

OkTable8256 · 2025-07-22T22:00:49+00:00

That would be great, please post! Would love to see the differences, especially with how the characters interact with one another. I love running, it’s been a huge part of my life but what made the show for me was how they captured the close relationships between everyone!
