| Nice episode, but damn those GGP soldiers are a terrible shot. Modern day Stormtroopers. |
| This series continued to make me amazing. Rin probably has a good reason to jump after the dude shot the RPG to the chopper. I honestly thought that was somewhat ridiculous when Rin saved her best friend then fled from the terrorists and police, but it was awesome! The story is getting interesting and more interesting. I can't wait to watch the next episode! |
| Holy shit. xD |

| I loved everything in this episode, Action films have a tendency to be ridiculous, so do anime.. what are you even complaining about? I personally LOVE the fact that Rin is cute but cool, a capable girl who also dares to take risks. We need more badass female characters like this! |
Ben said: Nice episode, but damn those GGP soldiers are a terrible shot. Modern day Stormtroopers. My thoughts exactly. And of course she jumped instead of doing the sensible thing and just getting off of Fuego on the bridge. |
 Felli disapproves of this thread. |
| If you just ignore all the unrealism then this is still a great anime. |

naikou said: I take it Rin was aware of the GGP's corruption and decided to go with her instincts by taking matters into her own hands. It's absurd, but thanks to the convenient plot, it's a good thing that she did; the end of the episode mentioned casualties from both terrorists *and civilians*.Rin crossing police lines to go play hero was retarded, and she definitely should have been shot. She put all of the hostage's lives in even more danger by being stupid. And no, it wasn't Rin's fault. She specifically stated to the GGP officers that her friend was trapped inside and that she wanted to rescue her. Shouldn't the officers have reported this and had the rest of the platoon not fire at a girl in a white dress riding a red rideback? Since, you know, she's obviously innocent. So the GGP - being fully aware of the fact that there were hostages - literally burst into the building with a tank and guns 'a blazing and proceeded to FAIL @ shoosteding an innocent girl carrying a civilian. ...can you REALLY blame Rin for not wanting to turn herself in? (It seemed like the GGP's intention was to spray everyone down and blame the casualties on the terrorists.) As over-the-top as it may be, all of her actions are justified. Still, I think this could've been handled better. Meh. At least the show isn't going to be about Rin finding her inner happiness once more by winning races. |

| That's basically a breakdown of communication. Said first guards Rin passed likely either didn't report it in the first place, or did and the higher ups chose to ignore it. Subsequently said second guards took the only assumption they had when Rin broke through, based on the apparently limited information they had. As for Rin's awareness of corruption within the GGP, doubtful IMO. To me, she's the kind of person that cannot sit idly by if there's something she can do. |
    |
| Yeah, I understood that. I was merely explaining why Rin factually didn't place the hostages in any more danger than they already were. And having rewatched the episode, the guard did in fact report her intrusion (a bit vaguely, I suppose, but still well enough to know that she was an innocent civilian). |
| hey that was a nice way to bring this show to a more serious side. Rin should be more careful next time,the GGP even shoot at girls and red motobikes ; ( |

| Liked the ep, but i ddint understand what that guy under the bridge said? There was a lot of awesome action, speed like in previous eps, very good anime. |
| No sig :( |
| Great action-packed episode! Some really fantastic animation and... Well, surely they'll be able to identify Rin from that shot they got, no? She's going to be in serious trouble if that happens... So things just got a lot more interesting. ;D |
| It would have been nice if this could have been a sports series, as is, I expect it to go down hill swiftly from here. |
| Great episode. My favorite so far! |
 |
| Rin to the rescue. |
| Pretty awesome episode, although it was quite obvious from the start that there was some type of connection between her and fuego |
| A watchable action piece, but the big fat mecha cliche we exit with bums me out quite a bit. Does this series really have nothing better to do than "the machine and I are one!!" |
| Rin is sooo cool. Another amazing episode. |
| Oh wow, terrorists.. Shit just got real this episode. This episode took a very serious turn imo and I think Rin is being very misunderstood by the authorities. What a bunch of hags tbh. That jump in mid air to avoid the missile was sick tbh. I called it and this episode was brilliant. 5/5. |
 |
| Of course the best thing to do is smash through the building and then escape like a terrorist--- HELL NO, WTF WAS THAT?? I think this would such a good anime without the political stuff. More Rideback racing please. :/ |
| So in this episode there is a little more info about Fuego and why it and Rin sync so well. As well as introducing someone who feels like a major character. Really good episode. |
 |
| Damn that was intense, good they made it out safe! And well linking up with the rideback is sure an interesting concept, I do wonder who that white haired dude is, is he part of that terrorist group? Well either way great episode lets see what's next! |
 |
| good episode |
 |
Bakayaro said: kisami said: so its shoot fist, ask questions later eh? well the moment she broke through the blockade she branded herself a terrorist. somehow i think the whole thing was planned. although that's just a guess. now people with ridebacks will be suspected as terrorists now. especially red ones. GGP = A-LAWS? LOL. |
| "If you reject me, I'll blast a hole in you!" Kanzaki H. Aria Just kidding.  |
| That front flip was amazing O__O Ahh so it's not just because Rin's a fast learner, Fuego actually chose her to be its rider. Interesting. New character too, maybe the terrorists' leader? I wonder why Okakura was so pissed off. |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| The action in this episode is what I was expecting from this anime but didn't get in the first 3 episodes (I thought I just had the wrong idea about what kind of anime this was, not that that's a bad thing...) |
  |
| This just made a complete 180 turn. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| GGP shoot at innocent girls. xD Now everyone think Rin is a terrorist. |
"What has two arms, two legs, and is alive? Not your favorite character lol! xD" |
| Now we are neck deep in some shit now. |
 |
| Loved the graphics......love the ED.......ready to subtract a score point for the plot being utterly stupid in this episode. 1. Rin....put on some pants for a change and quit showing the world your underwear 2. Rin......quit thinking about "how I feel when I ride Fuego" and start thinking about how you just made all your friends into wanted terrorists 3. Annoying Girl in Glasses.........STFU |
 |
| Why the hell doesn't this show have a higher score? Great mix of characterization, plot and action!!! |
 |
on 
| She can just surrender and explain the whole situation with the police. lol |

| Awh man... I was totally on board with this show until this episode. All the action scenes felt so plot-armored and Rin's decisions seemed completely illogical. Even if you argued that she was overcome with emotion, the extent she went to to save Shoko felt all around ridiculous. And the missile blowing up the helicopter was just the icing on the cake Hopefully Rideback's other episodes aren't this dumb |
| Rin is now a wanted terrorist but I think they don't know her real identity yet if im correct. Not so annoyed that its not a normal racing anime since the political part was hinted before. |
| BANZAI NIPPON. Nippon is the Land of freedom. Nippon is the Land of Peace. Nippon is the Land of Justice and Prosperity. In Nippon, we trust. We love Nippon, we love Anime. Anime love us, Nippon love us. 日本 |
| It's even more interesting when the situation is tense like that! Really liked the usage of the RideBack in this episode |
 |
| Mysterious, stoic white-haired terrorist guy. Feel like I've seen that archetype a lot. |
