| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Probably the greatest build-up for a competition in the sports anime that I've watched. Let's hope the race won't disappoint. ^^' |
| So does he want to be behind her so he can mimic her since he doesn't know the course? |
| Actually, I'm a little bit confused. The conditions for winning and losing in sudden death death match should be vice versa, since the frontrunner has advantage, and if riders are evenly matched (or even if chaser is slightly more skilled), it's obvious that the frontrunner will win; but, if the chaser wins - it means that chaser is more skilful. But the way it is... it just doesn't make sense |

Which mean, Takumi won't lose as long as he's on her tail.. |

| Bros over hoes Iketani, bros over hoes. |

| "I want a memorable match so I can end my career without regrets. So please bring your racer on our homeground, where he'll battle us without any practice whatsoever :) " Way to be honorable... Luckily, it's anime so Takumi will go all prodigy wizz-kid out on their asses. |
| I've lost all respect for kenji, I kind of hate his guts now. Iketani didn't even do anything that bad, it's not like he was tricking Takumi into the race or anything. He told him everything, and Takumi made the decision to race himself. Why are all of the best friends in this show so idiotic and annoying?! I want to strangle Takumi's friend, and now I hate Iketani's friend too. This show would be almost perfect if they dropped those idiots for some good/decent sidekicks. |
 |
| Great buildup episode! Really looking forward to see the race next! |
 |
| This one was seriously annoying, Kenji was like "yOu SoLd YoUr FrIeNd FoR a GiRl" as if Iketani was sending Takumi off to his death instead of a race. And this may be harsh, but I don't know why this Kenji is here, he doesn't even show up at the OP, and so far he has contributed even less than Itsuki to the story. And I didn't understand why Takumi was mad at Mako either, did Iketani go and cry a little by saying that she only approached him to race Takumi? This episode even confirmed that she likes him, but well, he's no seer, but still. Itsuki was also annoying as always, and this time even Iketani was. The way they they go on like a broken record by saying how "ThErE's No WaY tAkUmI cAn WiN tHiS rAcE", over and over again, just like the first time, is getting really old. At least Sayuki was cool, and I also liked the way Fujiwara dealt with that call, pretty relatable. |
 |
| This bit spilt my sides well bad. Can't wait for the race. |
| Good buildup episode. The race should be interesting. |
 |
| The race agaisnt the girls is gonna be great |
 |
| The whole buildup made me hyped as hell about the next episode! :D Show 'em, Takumi! |
| Now that the prelude is over, an intense race begins. Love is in Danger playing as they took felt awfully appropriate. |
| That was some good build up haha. I'm pumped up for this race now! |
 |
| Takumi is gonna win even though hes disadvantaged! |
 |
| It arrived!, It finally began and another challenge to make things interesting or kind of new perhaps so it doesn't get too repetitive a new Eurobeat playing sick bangers they're putting on I like it but the rules of the challenge are quite vague so I don't tend to understand it on a deeper level I just know that Takumi is miraculously going to win this race. |
  |
| 'i'll smoke him' jeeez car waifu means business. |
 |
| Takumi do be chasing girls |
 |
| This should be a great race!!! I like Takumi's ideology towards this race. "She's on four wheels, just like me." Fair and modest enough to build up immense hype towards the actual race!!!!

| Kenji was saying too much. His attitude and mentality seriously pissed me off. |
