| A bit slow but still we got to see another side of him. 5/5 |
| Why does every relationship fail in Initial D? Just leave the romance stuff out entirely if it is not getting serious anyway. |

But what he said wasn't bad actually. If i was her i wouldn't lose hope ether because what he said was that "you are in the way because i feel attracted to you enough to break my consecration and i can't just ignore you like someone i feel no attraction whatsoever". That actually tells her that at least he is moved by her presence and she is not without a hope of ever getting him. It's not about not liking her. She just has to wait for him and always watch so she can try again when he will be more willing for a relationship. To be honest i liked this girl more than any other in Initial D and i was really routing for her but i understand what he said to her. I don't think he was an ass because if he said that thing less straightforward she might not have listen to him so he had to keep a strict tone. |
| If just John Lennon did the same thing |

Narck said: Why does every relationship fail in Initial D? Just leave the romance stuff out entirely if it is not getting serious anyway. My initial thought, but Kyoko is a nice girl, so.. |

| I really like the way Initial D handles its romance, and this one is no exception (only Itsuki's romances didn't really do it for me, although I didn't dislike them). I was worried Fourth Stage was straying too much off the style the first three stages had, but I'm glad it can still tell some good dark romance stories. |

They even said he's not good at multitasking so he wouldn't be able to balance a relationship and racing. He'd have to choose one or the other. Kyoko best girl though so that was an angry mob with pitchforks worthy moment even if he meant well lol. |
 |
| Well she's nice but... that was kind of a stalker move though, way too devoted after only meeting him twice ^^" And the way she calls him darling... creepy. |
| She sure got turned down in a harsh way, I wonder if they'll advance further on it! In general it was an okay episode, so let's see what's next! |
 |
| That was pretty sad for Kyoko, but at least she understood what Keisuke was telling her. |
| Keisuke is a bit harsh on her Poor girl Well I guess he's kinda right, it's better to reject her now than later It's hurt less this way *fixing glasses Oooohhh.. He's serious about it now Takumi finally is going to lose? |
"Signature removed"   |
| Kyoko doesn't beat around the bush... I like that. The fact that she would be a distraction proves Keisuke is interested. Everything according to plan.. to let the opposing team come up with a strategy to beat Takumi.. to help him improve. |
  |
| A pity we are seeing Wataru again, but not Kazumi, but well, it may be only a matter of time since even Itsuki is going to watch the race in Saitama. Also it's interesting that this Nobuhiko guy is his cousin, and he may be smart, but it's hard to believe that he's even close to Ryousuke, and after losing so badly it's still even harder to believe he was able to come up with something to win against Takumi, but let's see. Also poor Kiyoko, Keisuke feels like he's going to be left behind if he loses his focus, and it may happen so I can't blame him, and I also can't blame her for not giving up, here's hoping that it may work out in the end. |
 |
| This girl is such a creep, I hope this ship never sails. |

| 24:00 seriously? They said "RALLY" not Ferrari. |

| She even came in a mini skirt. It was a brutal rejection, but not soul-crushing. There's hope. And well, even if they get Takumi it will only make him stronger. True boss is still daddy. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Keisuke is the reverse mogi |
 |
| I understand Keisuke, even if he was kinda harsh at first. If he can't focus on two things at once, then choosing racing instead of hanging out with girls is a good choice. He is talented, while dating girls might not end in happy marriage or something in the future. Kyoko, while she seemed to be quite independent at first, is really immature and naive. I wouldn't date her if I was Keisuke. She gets excited too much about her own delusions (like falling in love right after seeing Keisuke, calling him "darling" etc.). Hah, anti-Takumi weapon is a skilled racer in another AE86 after tuning? |
| Big oof. Keisuke being an ass yet again haha. At least he can keep on focussing purely on driving |
 |
| I wonder what the plan to beat Takumi is, and what this "Ultimate Weapon" is.... |
 |
| Well it seems that Keisuke currently really doesnt have time for women Can't wait to see what kind of secret wepon they have prepared against Takumi |
| Totally agree that this chick is a creeper. Honestly, how is a girl who's basically stalking you and calling you "her's" before you've even held a proper conversation cute lmao? Keisuke wasn't in the wrong here at all; I think he made it pretty clear and for her own good. He knows he doesn't have the capacity for a relationship and is upfront with exactly where his priorities lie (i.e. racing, which he was literally telling her until she cut him off and ran away all giddy lol) so how can you blame him? I already liked him a lot before but I like him even more after this for keeping it real like that. |
| Keisuke gotta be gay |
| Now we all know the D in Initial D that stands for Drama it always end in unrequited love and turns into drama, Wataru is back I want to see some rematch but we get another driver out of nowhere who's skilled af excited to see what's the secret car they have. |
  |
| damn the mangaka must hate relationships for him to always write failed ones lmao. i don't hate it tho, it's realistic enough. only would've wished takumi's didn't fail. gotta feel for kyoko too. |
 |
| I'm dying to know this "ultimate weapon". I felt sorry for her, doesn't he want to be disturbed? |
  |
| Put that shitty romance in your pocket Initial D. 🖕🏼( • ̀ω•́ )✧ |
 |
| I mean I kinda saw this outcome for the new girl, he’s the type of guy who focuses solely on one single thing which is explicitly mentioned in the episode. I also dislike pushy people who can't take no for an answer. |
