| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- if she's really that certain that her feelings will never change, then she should just try again in the winter. Project D should be over by then, and he's made it pretty clear that he is interested in her. |
| TK got himself a girl with a powerful passion to be with him so why can't he say something like come back after project D is done? It's simple and fast without him having to be cold and telling her off, plus she is hot |
| He's gay. |
| NOOOO!! DAAAARLIIING!!! Damn is no relationship gonna go well in this anime? And there i had hopes when i saw she managed to get a date. I'm thinking the same as others here though. No reason for her to consider him lost cause. Just wait till he finishes. I doubt project D will go for years. Just a few months of wait. That's nothing. His also too much. I mean whats the problem of having her as a girlfriend when she promises she won't be making any "girlfriend" type demands while his on his project D stuff. And as the above poster said, she's also hot and cute. It's such a waste. The Rx-7 can't suck your cock dude. |
| @Monad : Project D will only last for a year, as stated by Ryosuke himself Nobody understand Keisuke, huh? He doesn't want to give her the chance precisely because she's hot, and passionate, and a really great woman, if he didn't close off all the feelings of love within him (for woman), he will not be able to concentrate 100% on honing his driving technique, he isn't someone who could do that, as stated by himself. He is afraid that he'll waver if he continue to stay with Kyoko.. Let's just hope that kyoko will come back to pursue Keisuke after Project D is over.. On the other hand, Keisuke sure did get his FD upgraded, that much of horsepower.. And Takumi will continue to improve, at a very fast rate imo.. |

| I think the focus of the Initial D series is rather more about competition, intensity, and achieving dreams rather than a love story hence why the relationship won't work even if it did come to fruition. Either way though, I feel sorry for Kyoko.. Well, at least her request to go full throttle was granted. Now that said and being done, I can't wait to look forward to the upcoming matches. |
 |
| The amount of broken hearts in this anime is too damn high! Anyway, nice character development Keisuke. |
| Another broken heart...well Keisuke made it clear form the beginning that racing is his number one priority. With that said both he and Takumi continue to level up. I wonder if the series will end with a final race between these 2 rivals.. |

He basically told her to wait until Project D is over and then he'll have time to have a girlfriend. People should be praising the guy, that takes a shit ton of dedication to do that for the team. He is a man who follows the golden rule of bros over hoes and needs a statue for it. |
 |
| A bit sad that they didn't get together, but who knows they might get in a relation after project D? Let's see what happens next though! |
 |
| Kyoko got her date! Keisuke didn't choose his words very well and broke her heart again... No kidding he doesn't have time "now"... just wait till it's over. The dialogue in this anime isn't exactly great, so who knows what will happen next... |
  |
| So Keisuke decided to pay Kiyoko's kindness by spending a day with her, and by being honest about how he feels. It's not surprising, not even to her, that right now the Project D is the most important thing for him, and that's fine, so if her presence would distract him, I guess that it's okay for him to ask her to stop rooting for him, but it's still a bit harsh, he decided for her that it would be painful to only watch him from afar, but I don't think he's really wrong, so this may be for the best, they just have to meet again after the project is done. It's also nice that he talked about his past as a gangster, and how it was his brother that saved him from that life, and gave him dreams, and a goal. Ryousuke is really cool, and so calculating too, he may be the coolest character here. And back on Akina, Takumi is struggling by racing against his other self, but this is certainly going to make him grow, so it's cool. |

| She has to wait until after Project D. |
 Novels I have read/am reading pending approval: since November 10 2022 |
| Not gonna lie, the drama is kinda stupid. I know it might be too much to ask for a girl that's mad in love, but all she gotta do is wait a till Keisuke has reached his goal. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Good episode but it's pretty sad for Kyoko |
 |
| I really hope they get together after Project D. Kyoko and Keisuke match so well. At least she got to see what the vast majority never gets to witness. |
| Kyoko might be weird with all this stalking and repeating "darling" all the time, but it was sad to see her crying. She should try to hang out with Keisuke once Project.D is over, or wait until winter when they will have a break. Itsuki seems to be alright after being rejected. Good to know. |
| Keisuke as expected rejecting Kyouko. Thanks for reminding me that no relationship works out here, Initial D. |
 |
| Kyouko just doesnt get it. She is just a distraction to Keisuke who wants to focus on Project D instead of thinking about a girl |
 |
| bit of a downtime episode but here we go again with the romance drama that didn't go as well as expected. |
  |
| keisuke still doesn't want sum. at least kyoko got her date, she deserves another chance after project D. |
 |
| Good episode. Keisuke is too busy for that, he was very sincere, maybe after Project D he can think. Keisuke's RX-7 looks beautiful. |

| To be honest, she has been very pushy from the start, knowing that Keisuke does not want or have the time for a committed relationship. She is the one who continues to push this one-sided love despite Keisuke's obvious indication that he will not reciprocate her feelings. This anime is extremely realistic and these type of one-sided cushes tend to never work in real life most of the time. |
