like if you can trust your teammate to reach you, there's no reason to not milk as much of an advantage as you can and run up to the zone edge before tapping

you lose speed. Nana brought up how that school's Stride club was one of the only ones to do Relations at full speed, which basically set up the same thing happening with Riku and the other guy.

I don't really see how they're losing speed if the tagged out is now out of the race unless it's something where both of them have to finish?

but your partner still has to catch up to you to that point so why not just entrust them to run their part

like yeah i see in real life relays the tag in will start running before they have the baton, but that's more of a means to gain a head start. but it doesn't make sense here because the tag ins started off behind the ones already running and they were the ones who had to catch up. why not just tag them in as soon as possible so they can get to running?

i would think it's just better to have uninterrupted momentum, and get your partner going fast before you tap out and are done. i mean obviously the team that slows down at all is at a disadvantage if the other team can tap out while going full speed

The complex rules of "it's a normal relay race with parkour" and "run on an obstacle course".

like in what way did haru from free benefit yosuke by running up to the red line instead of just slowing down himself to tag in yosuke? it's not like him slowing down would slow yosuke down.

but the speed at which fujiwara tags in yagami shouldn't affect yagami's speed since he's already functioning at full speed by the time they enter the tag in zone.

I've just never been a huge manga guy. I think I've read less than 20 total, even though I've watched anime for years. Every once in a while I get in the mood to plow through a bunch of chapters but then I won't get back to it for weeks
