| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Wait? He won? Why? The first race they finished like they started. The same goes with the second race so why did he won? I'm confused. |
| I thought that in this type of race if pursuer outran the being pursued then the race ends immidiately with pursuer victory, huh?... But of course that U-turn was epic! Am I the one who think that this series will be more interesting if Project D racers lose sometimes? |
DrimDrim said: But of course that U-turn was epic! You said it, that was freakin cool XD Well, the only logical answer I can come up with is Keisuke won because he outrun the opponent that outrun him, something like that I think.. |

| Wait, how exactly did he win? Or is it because the old guy didn't want to go for the 3rd round? |
 |
| If you think about it even if they did go for a 3rd round the old man's tires were already screwed so Keisuke would've most likely won. That's what I'm guessing but maybe they'll talk about it in the next episode. Anyway, that was one hell of a race. Loved the OST during the race as well :) |
 |
| Hohoho that overtake and that U-turn! Really great episode, looking forward for the next episode! |
 |
| As soon as they mentioned the old dude probably had a reason for going first... I knew it was going to be about wearing down the tires so he could drift. Playing chicken at the turnaround was a surprise though. |
  |
| So Keisuke's race wasn't cut, and it also ended up taking two episodes. At least it was as cool as they get in this anime. I loved how he raised his fist through the window as he crossed the finish line, that was really cool! Now it's Takumi's turn. |
 |
| U-turn was some cool shit. Savage move from Ko, he got Keisuke similar to how Keisuke did in that pathetic guy from Saitama. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
Hoshino's plan was fiendishly clever. His pass in the U-turn gave me goosebumps, Back on the Rocks and all. Too bad that the tires of his R34 did not hold up. |
| Man, what an epic episode! :D Dunno why Keisuke didn't lose when the old man took the lead near the checkpoint, but whatever, the race was so good! However I don't recall them saying that taking a lead of the pursuer is not equal to winning like it was many times before. And indeed it was true - once Hoshino stopped talking to himself, he started to act quite chaotic. Time for Takumi's downhill. :) |

| Nice finish. Ko's U-turn at the middle was too amazing lol. Good thing Keisuke managed to overtake him at the end. |
 |
| Did Keisuke just win? I think he did but im confused.... |
 |
| Keisuke winning this one felt a little confusing His oppononent was a cool one tho, probably one of the best ones in terms of personality overall |
| Also not-sure how Keisuke won, but anyways, I'm very confused on where this season will go. There are just 3 episodes left, assuming 1 or 2 is for Takumi, does he lose? It wouldn't make sense for them to win this whole thing, and just win their first race in Ibaraki (first place after their development in Saitama) and then just stop racing. So, I don't understand unless it's continued over into Fifth Stage, which is definitely possible but IDK. |

| That U turn drift was immaculate |
 |
| As far as I always understood, if you are the lead and "loose" the pursuer (if the gap between the cars becomes too big when crossing the finishing line) it counts as a win aswell. This alongside with surpassing the lead when you are the pursuer are the two conditions to win these type of races. Those conditions I believe were stated back in the First Stage, but it's been a long long time since I've watched it so correct me if I'm wrong ty. :) |

| That went fast and that U turn was the highlight of this episode for sure, Keisuke winning was confusing since he bumped him but still got ahead now this is where it was finding where are all the Keisuke scenes he's getting more screentime for the show which is promising. |
  |
| jesus that U-turn scene was fire, hoshino is crazyy and the music during that scene was on point as well. i'm very surprised, honestly expected keisuke to lose even before the race began but fair play. |
 |
| The race was exciting, I knew he would make it. |
  |
| Keisuke won! Impressive. |
