Yowamushi Pedal: Episode 23 Recap
In the previous episode, Manami and Onada are inching closer to the finishing line. The Seniors spectating the match believe that Manami will probably win the match because Manami has suffered through several losses, giving him more than enough willpower to win today.
Unlike Manami, Onada has won time and time again without facing a crushing defeat. Therefore, it is impossible for Onada to understand or have a willpower equivalent to Manami.
Onada’s seniors listen to the spectator’s statement and say that the loss Onada went through is incomprehensible, even to them. Sure, he did not face defeat in a match, but he lost someone he looked up to a lot.
Onada had great respect for one of the seniors and often turned to him for guidance. One day, the senior informs the club that he is leaving and moving to England. This sudden change crushed Onada’s spirit, and it took a long time before he could bike as he did before.
As Onada and Manami are a mere 600 meters away from the finishing line, Onada begins to fall behind Manami. Onada’s pedal became faulty when Manami bumped into his bike from behind, and that’s why he hasn’t been able to keep up with Manami.
The gap begins to widen, and Onada is terrified because if he falls back more than ten meters behind Manami, Manami is sure to cross the finish line before him.
