I really enjoyed this week's reaction and the discussion was better this week too. I know y'all love Haiji so much, but it was nice to see more talk about the other characters. This is probably my favorite episode because Yuki and Nico-chan senpai are my favorite characters and I really like their stories.
I was tearing up when Jacob was tearing up during Yuki's part of the race. Gosh. That's probably my favorite part of the Ekiden. I really love Yuki so much and his internal monologue was just wonderful. He's a really great character and he pushed himself so hard. I'm so proud of him.
And seeing Nico-chan senpai and his backstory and how much he really enjoyed running. My heart! I'm so happy his passion for running was reignited. Haiji didn't care that his build wasn't a perfect runner's build and Nico-chan senpai is so grateful for that.
I can't believe there's only 2 episodes left! Feels like yesterday that I was whining about how far away we are from the Ekiden episodes. lol
