let's see the story evolution about the shinigami...
I fear that he will interfere with the next race, hope I'm wrong, he's kinda crazy :D

That R32 driver is such an ass, should be arrested for attempted homicide >_> The 350Z driver seems pretty good so looking forward to seeing him race. That and his seiyuu is awesome :P

Welp, the title was "Keisuke's pride" or something, and he barely had any screen time. lol Pretty lackluster conclusion to the race too, with plenty of commentaries to make it "better".

Also I wasn't expecting a love triangle with Ryousuke, and to think that the girl ended up killing herself, it would be nice to know the details, but that "Grim Reaper" guy is so... lame, and so not exciting, purposely bumping on his opponents like Shingo just because dying doesn't seem to be a big deal for him, but this is insufferable. That golf date was pretty bland too, but still managed to be better than most of the episode.

Well damn, now I expect and hope for a race between Ryosuke and the "Grim Reaper" guy. To think Ryosuke was in a love triangle, damn. Though, what a situation, she commit suicide, I wonder what drove her to it..

Team Spiral's leader looks like a fascinating fellow.

Ikeda's car of choice also kind of matches his philosophy. Nissan 350Z is undeniably a high-performance vehicle, but in a subdued form. At least in my mind. The Burning Red colour provides an intriguing accent or contrast to Ikeda's zen mindset.

The GT-R was disturbing, though.

I'm already hyped to see that Shinigami guy against Ryousuke. :D I have a hunch that it will be the main battle of this season.

The Grim reapers appearance really added great interest for future episodes, wonder if Ryousuke will risk it and race him, because that sounds very dangerous

A suicidal Grim Reaper?

Exciting new chara, kinda gives me Mashiba vibes.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

The Shinigami looks like a great villain. Can't wait to see Ryosuke racing he is my favorite character.

This race is going to be very tense. What pressure that guy got from that GT-R, if there's a race against him it's going to be a spectacle.
