I’m happy that Reki is happy again and that he might be facing Adam again. It’s good if he faces Adam again since he is the main character so it would only make sense for him to go up against the antagonist. Also I’m glad that Rek affirmed that giving up on skating just because others are better than him is stupid. Reki blushing at the end was so cute and when Langa said they were gonna skate together for infinity, my heart burst. Let’s be honest since Adam sees reki as an opponent for Langa’s love in a way, doesn’t it make it clear that Reki and Langa are for eachother, I feel it just confirms that they are in love.
I found my will to live because of this episode... jk but yk what I mean;)
It was freaking cute and i hate this guy adam. idk how u feel about him but-
haha i know!!
i def hate adam how can he be so annoying??? they show us his past maybe they want us to empathize with him but i literally can't feel sorry bc he's always freaking me out
I don’t hate Adam because I personally think he is a very well written antagonist and I just can’t bring myself to hate him. People always seem to reduce his character to a pedo or sum which obviously isn’t a point and they probably show us his backstory to show us why he’s the way he is. “People are products of their environment”
My thoughts basically:
How many people are going to the hospital?
I thought Reki was gonna die, I really thought the fricking love hotel was the afterlife and I was gonna scream. Btw, why tf did Tadashi bring Reki to a love hotel?
Younger Reki and Langa were so cute, even though Reki didn't change that much. Adorable.
FINALLY THEY MADE UP! Their laughs are so precious I can't- (really thought there was gonna be a confession)
Istg Adam, "Wedding blues" "I don't appreciate you looking at others" Langa ain't yours! He's a M I N O R. Back off Dio Hisoka Tsukiyama hybrid. Someone, please put him in jail
The first half was kind of angsty ngl. I kept on pausing throughout the episode, it took me about 45 minutes to finish ^^;
Anyways, I'm content, kind of, tho I'm scared for next week. What is Adam gonna do to them? Really worried for Reki. They were just happy, let them be happy T-T
i hate them to make us think reki was gonna die and seriously why tf tadashi brought him there?? im sure its because that stalker jerk adam!!
there is so much things to say i am literally gonna vomit millions of words but . i am just so so SOOOO happy reki is smiling again and he made up with langa like this seriously World Peace.. blushing reki was so very cute But now i am just. very worried with what's to come.. a big I Hate You to the guys who jumped reki n Most especially adam who's going to endanger reki Once Again.. you will not be seeing the light of day
let's go
i was thinking the same about the third point. also, the "i want to skate with you forever" reminded me of a scene from "free" (which is definitely the personification of queerbait), i thought the confession would be a bit more personal and less involved with skating. although, i do tend to enjoy these kinds of relationships more than straight up romance because it feels meaningful.
but also, i think something more may happen between them in these next couple episodes because of what adam has planned! and I'm sure that scene with langa and his mom in episode 8 still has some kind fo importance? i'm not sure
it has nothing to do with loving each other ...they only love to skate together they dont have such feeling for each other , ....some goes for adam he loves to play against langa
i thought the same with you when i first watched sk8. im not sure about it bc there are some points in my mind that make me curious. reki had a friend who was injured by skating. they showed us one scene that he's in the hospital and there is a lgbt flag in that room. i think it was intentional and was one of the first things that make me confused about this anime. on the other hand maybe langa's love is all about the comparing the feelings when skating with reki to his dad's when snowboarding with his dad, idk. i want to believe they are in love tho ^^
Best moment was when Reki woke up in a love hotel lmao. I'm guessing Tadashi chose a love hotel for privacy or for convenience. I'm assuming it's the former? Love hotels offer privacy and anonymity. Still hilarious.
Aw, Reki's family are so cute. I wish we could see more of them.
I'm glad he and Langa are together again! So relieved that he hasn't given up on skating.
BRO IM SO FUCKING HAPPY, LIKE SCREW THOSE FIRST FEW MINS WHEN IT WAS SAD BUT HOLY CRAP, THE ENDING..OMG IM SO FUCKING HAPPY, THEY'RE FRIENDS AGAINN, LANGA BASICALLY STARTED CONFESSING OMG. ALSO TADASHI, HELLOO ILY, IM MAD THAT YOU SAID THAT REKI SHOULD QUIT BUT OTHER THAN THAT IM OKAY. ALSO NO PUTTING THE PALM TREES ON FIRE, IT WAS A HAPPY ENDING TODAY. Next ep being Called King Vs Nobody means that Adam is most definitely gonna choose reki to skate him. Broo I'm so hyped. omg but the fact TADASHI took him to a LOVE HOTEL LMAOO. Ahhh langa and reki are in a relationship now, it's confirmed
ALSO I FORGOT BUT WHEN JOE PICKED UP CHERRY IN HIS ARMS??? HELLOO?!, AAAA THEY'RE CANON.
ALSO PEOPLE ARE SAYING THAT ADAM WENT TOO FAR IS AMAZING, BRO EVERYONE SHOULD HATE ON ADAM
i have a few points.
look at these parallels!!!!
theyre in love
I love the foreshadowing/referencing and parallels in this anime it’s so fun. Also Tadashi probably took reki to a love hotel because it was closest also they pay hourly so it’s cheaper. Also from reading a lot of manga teenagers being in love hotels isn’t really like “weird” I guess I don’t know how to word it but I hope you understand what I’m saying
i have a feeling that the next episode would be a beef between adam and reki. the next episode title is "King V.S Zakko" with zakko translating to "worthless fish" or something along those lines. the only people adam can genuinely have a consolation beef with is miya and joe, but neither of them could be described as a worthless fish bc it just doesn't fit them. that nickname (sadly) describes reki's arc right now, so it makes sense. another possibility is that adam could make the consolation match into reki vs joe (joe also fits the nickname "king" if you set adam aside), and whoever wins the beef will compete against adam, but i doubt that'll happen. anyways, im just so glad to see reki's smile again but also kinda sad bc miya lost against tadashi :( on another note, did you guys see how concerned joe was while he screamed for cherry after his beef with adam? istg they're married LMFAO
omg cherry and joe is such a married couple!! he ran all the way around for cherry and hold him in his arms :((( i wanted to cry!!! ig the match will happen between reki and adam as you said. i hope the title will be deceptive and the worthless fish will be adam bc there are no worthless fish around them but him !! btw thanks for the translation i saw the title as king v.s zero but your translation is much more cool tbh
