Good connecting episode. And the sound when Akio entered the warehouse... Amazing :P

offtopic: Who here downloaded the amazing soundtrack of the anime? xD

Akio is(almost) back on the wangan!
Pretty entertaining episode. That guy who chose racing before his wife and child is an idiot though. Seriously >_>
Let's hope the subbers are going to release the episodes up to 14 fast now :)

And i didn't know the soundtrack was out, i'll have to check it out.

Yeah, I can't believe the guy forsaking his unborn kid for a car, I wonder if the scenarist will put a moral twist on this one.
I like the steady progression so far. It's a bit cliche at times, but bearable.
Looking forward to the rest. ^^

At various times in this show, it feels like the car itself is a character.

Interesting development, a lot happened in this episode, but there was a huge absence of OST!

Still having trouble keeping Akio and this new guy apart, they look almost the same. Can't believe he'd choose he'd choose the car over his unborn child after having already lost a child.

I was so confused because I thought it was Akio was listening in when the wrecked Z was revealed.

Minor variations in the front hair style is what sets them apart.

What was Kitami trying to do here? It's as if he was trying to manipulate Koichi. Man, I don't like the character Kitami

Lmaoooo this episode is hilarious.
The Z is destroyed but its engine still lives on, Jun Kitami is trying to earn as much money as he could so that he could resurrect the devil. And while he's at it, he manipulated and gaslit Koichi to return to his racing roots and forsake the past 3 years of his life spent away from driving and racing cars and saving up 4 million yen. All this led to him deciding to purchase a car as his wife and soon-to-be newborn left him. Not to mention he got yet another  R32, there are way too many of it in this series. This guy needs to stop being so indecisive, either his child and wife OR his racing spirit. Stop being so spineless, even AKio sacrificed his HS education just so he could goof off in the Z on the Wangan.

The whole ep felt odd due to the absence of OSTs, but the last portion when Akio saw his Z again along with that angelic OST made for a good scene.

Money cant buy happiness, but it can definitely buy you a GT-R
