at first I was really hoping we'd found a Mogi replacement, but as soon as she mentioned the rotary engine I knew it'd be Kesukei ;)

who wants to bet that she's his next opponent?

I just laughed through out this episode!! Tak's father, I'm guessing, was just playing around with his sons ability of street racing and was enjoying himself in the process ^_^

If she turns out to be the next opponent plus Mr. Right, things should heat up!!

Yeah i wasn't certain at first because he said he didn't want a car with much wings etc but when he used the gutter it was obvious it was him messing around with his son.

Yeah i thought that maybe they really where going to replace Mogi after all the events but no is Keisuke's turn.
Well she certainly will want to race against Keisuke. She will want to check if his faster that her so she tick all the elements on her prince charming list.

OMG How can you guys tell it's Takumi's dad? Just because of the gutter? Well it seems like it though.. It's pretty cool, and it's reaffirmed, Bunta is a whole lot better and in the whole new level than Takumi..
So now it's Keisuke's turn in romance, huh? They seems to be.. quite.. nice haha XD Would love to see more of KyokoxKeisuke

The driver behind the car that defeated Takumi was definitely his father.

That Bunta, he couldn't wait anymore for someone beating his son, he had to do it himself xD

That was hilarious : "We'll show those Tokyo farts ! Takumi, you do it !" ^^

Hoho they got served! That first car's driving style that owned Takumi really reminded me of his dad, so I sure wonder if that's his new car or that he was just making a test ride!

That said that ending sure was interesting as well, let's see what's next!

Great and fun episode. Wasn't expecting the 85 Turbo to be that amazing.

The last part introducing Kyoko was also great.

Ah.. I see, I think I knew who's in that blue car
There's only one person can beat Takumi
Yep "him" xD

Toyota cars are just OP if combined with Takumi

Kyoko and Keisuke eh
Well I guess it's better for him
Keisuke the Lonely Driver isn't really good nickname xD

That blue car was Takumi's dad I think.

Then the fat man...
Right on time Takumi came up from behind with the 8-5... wasn't a surprise, but it was great!

So Takumi is still slower than his father, huh. Good to know that he isn't almighty not even on Akina, but that part with Iketani, Kenji and Itsuki was almost as lame as Iketani, I mean, he was cool telling-off those fools, but he was all talk, and he thinks it's okay to diss his friend's car, but at least he didn't let a stranger do it. But Takumi proved to Itsuki that his car is nice and can do something like that. And finally another female racer! She has a good eye for men too, falling for Keisuke. lol It would be nice if they raced, and if it were a really close call.

The moment I saw how good the blue car's driver was, I instantly knew that that's Bunta, no one can beat Takumi there so easily. Well, they wrecked that fat ugly bastard quickly, with an Eight-five lmao. Hmm, I thought the girl at the end might be a new girl for Takumi, but seems like she's going to be Keisuke's girl. I wonder how fast she is, though.

I didn't expect that it would be Takumi's father since he doesn't like splashy wangs. But, it is possible. "Since, no one's beating him. Fine, I'll do it myself."

Owned by daddy.

Also lol @ those smug nerds, they deserved even greater humiliation.

And I guess it's time to see Takahashi race. Beating that chick will make her fall for him even more.

Itsuki's AE85 with Turbo and Takumi behind the wheel defeated those cocky visitors! :D

Hah, just when I thought that we'd be getting a replacement for Mogi as a girl for Takumi, she fell in love in Keisuke. That's gonna be interesting! Can't wait to see how things between them will go and if Keisuke will like her back.

A fateful encounter.

I loved how Bunta just leisurely smoked his son... Not to mention how that very son left the cocky Tokyo boys in the dust.

Bunta is epic and pure class for getting Subaru Impreza STI.

No wonder he smoked his own son on Akina

I knew it was Bunta because previous episode or two, Bunta's mechanic friend mention it being not like him to be getting an awd car, plus the level difference, and the gutter move.

LMFAO i had a feeling the guy driving the blue car which wrecked takumi must've been his dad and i'm glad to see everyone else in this thread also thinks the same.

also, damn some keisuke romance is really unexpected.

Really fun episode! As always we love seeing Takumi kicking some noobs butt in slow cars with pure and dedicated skill (did you see how he screamed his technique as if it was some sort of special power, what a fricking noob I tell you), so it was a nice treat between the Project D races, and let me tell you guys that I have been wanting to see Bunta rave Takumi since the very beginning, I was worried they would make Takumi win, but no, they showed Bunta's skill and he was able to beat Takumi with his own accumulated experience, really nice to see them race, and Takumi lose for once. It is clear that the only person in Gunma who can beat Takumi is his dad, that crazy Bunta, he sure is an enigma.

Oh and the new girl, well, I already had my heart broken three times with this anime, Mogi x Takumi didn't happen, Itsuki x Takumi didn't happen, and Iketani x Mako didn't happen, so no, I say no, this anime won't play with my feelings any longer, I won't fall for that trap again. Did you see how she saw Keisuke? She fell in love with him too fast! Like, she didn't even check his type of car! No no no no, they are just looking for another way to break my heart, they won't get away with it!
