Honestly, I somewhat liked this show so far. Not the most action-packed show that I would rewatch, but still had an interesting plot and not a show that I would drop. That has changed now with this whole Kadowaki plot development. If there was ever a case of an antagonist desperately needing an overdose of ritalin, it's this guy. He so blinded by some stupid BS rage stuff that he's pretty one of the most pathetic antagonists I have ever seen in anime. I hope the next episode(s) will come up with better background to explain his race other than "Arata run faster than me once and losing that race has traumatized me to the point that I become a street thug by night and school bully by day".

An alright episode... I'm not all to surprised to see his ex-friend as his main rival for emperor.... but seriously that guy has some pride issues

Woah, someone's got anger management problems.

It feels like 12 episodes won't be enough.

Wait what? Let's try this again, Kadowaki has been beating up Hinohara and being beat out of shape for years because he won ONE race in middle school, and now he wants to kill him because of that?!

Is this a fucking joke?! Has to be at the top of lamest and pathetic villains ever. Blue haired Arata should beat his ass every day for that shit.

It really does seem to be a shitty reason for him to hate him.
