[Spoilers] Super Cub - Episode 5 Discussion

Weakest episode so far for me. I still enjoyed it, it cleared the "3 people died" thing and I liked the interactions between Reiko and Koguma, especially at the end, but it felt a bit forced when she tried to get up Mt. Fuji, like why would you ride like you're in Initial D if your goal is to make it up there? Also her last crash was definitely hospital worthy. Even the first ones, it doesn't take much to break a bone on a motorcycle. Overall I enjoyed it though, just my least favorite.

This episode was laughably stupid, she not only fell by hitting a rock once, or twice, but 9 out of 10 times (1 time she managed to stay stable because of the hype music i guess lol). Does she have eyes? I can't imagine someone being that blind to have a license and to drive a motorcycle and hit every single rock like wtf. Other than that, it was okay episode, worst up until now i guess.

I thought it was a good episode. Not my favorite, but still good. This was a char. development episode.

We got some back story on Reiko, which was good! I figured her for a dare-devil type with her modded Super Cub, but climbing the Mt. Fuji?! I would have been disappointed if she just rode to the top with no issues the first time! Yeah, she hit the same damn rock over and over, but I think it showed us that, even as experienced as she it, she has to try and fail in order to learn. Riding on trails is different than riding on the streets. I kept thinking if she would slow down, she wouldn't crash so much! AND there were repercussions... she cracked the pan on her cub.

FINALLY, Koguma says... Uh... WTF? I don't understand what your talking about! She is really coming out of her shell. I think that Reiko's failure might have made Koguma a little more comfortable. She realized that Reiko isn't perfect. I laughed when Koguma talked smack to Reiko, saying that HER cub would have made it to the top!!

Not the best episode, by far... and yeah.. maybe the weakest, but it was still a good episode!

Poor Cub. You wouldn't get beat up like that if Reiko didn't take the trailing as time attack.

This one's my least favorite episode so far, and I hope it won't change.

There were a lot of exaggerations with Reiko's trip on the mountain, like how she hit like 9 rocks instead of just going around them and the fact that she didn't break a single bone. The music was definitely planned differently for her character design. Also, new end credits!

Is Reiko suicidal or something? She was going full ham on a dirt track in a scooter without wearing any protective gear or having any experience with off-road driving and she could've gone off the road and into her death at any time, which she almost did. If she wanted to climb Mt Fuji on her Cub she could've done so without the need of almost totaling her bike, sustaining multiple injuries and almost killing herself. She's not a badass, she's a god damn lunatic.
Also, the foreman's attitude was a fucking joke. He was like "I'm going to encourage this girl that has injured herself multiple times while working for us instead of stopping her from possibly killing herself". If they wanted us to view Reiko as a badass after watching this episode then they fucked up real bad, that's all I can say.

literally just look at the road in front of you retard how can you hit that many rocks are you fucking blind

show still cute tho

weakest episode by far. reiko lowkey trying to commit mt. fuji suicide for almost the entire episode, and they realllllllly need to stop with the lines like "somewhere close but far".

I liked this episode, in relation to the fact that you know a little more about Reiku's attitude, although the antagonist is a rock many times it does not take away the interest of seeking to overcome herself.I am enjoying the series so far, it is good to take a break from this season's series and take it to relaxation. In the next episode I hope to see how he gets the license.

idk man was she even looking at the road

not really a fan of this episode, as I dislike the dangerous thing climbing a mountain with bike. No offense to fans of hobby.

...How does she come out unharmed every time? I also wouldn't go full throttle when riding up a rocky mountain path y'know
