| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Wow, this episode was very cool, I hope Takumi kicks butt now =D |
| It's good to see the romance from S1 back. As I expected, this arc is indeed the best of the season. 4/5 |
| Bunta super dad. |
| Takumi's a bro. He's going to let itsuki meet kazumi's parents. |
| I guess Takami is really done with racing on his own pass. Looking forward to the next episode! |

Avenger-senpai said: Sol_Ou said: Takumi's a bro. He's going to let itsuki meet kazumi's parents. That explains why he wanted Itsuki to come along, what a guy. Haha, don't think that's his reason. I mean, he can probably tell that the sister will also be there for the race so he brought Itsuki so that he can discuss it with the brother and convince him to let her stay. End of the season will be time for the Takumi goodness, adapting like a baws to this unsealed power engine. I have the feeling Natsuki and Takumi will work it out in the end, which pisses me off... |
| Some great buildup! Totally excited to see the actual race! Also why did they make Mogi appear then? Really starting to get annoyed by her... |
| Two good episodes in a row, wow. I can't believe Itsuki is the new MVP. lol His scenes with Kazumi were great! They like each other, and they are helping each other out! Itsuki is becoming someone she can confide her concerns to, and she was improving his racing skills with her knowledge, I'm happy for them! And now that some time has passed and Takumi calmed down, he finally seems willing to listen to Mogi or something, but she chose a "bad" moment, and since there is no way for her to know this, she just thinks he's still ignoring her, and she's been skipping school too, I hope nothing bad happens with her. I was a bit annoyed that Takumi went to Iketani for changing the car at first though, but considering it was because he couldn't find his dad, and Iketani has to do something I guess, I've let it go. But he wasn't even able to help with this, and it was thanks to Bunta being prepared that they got the pieces so fast anyways, so it's fine. This is most certainly the last race of the season, and it seems it's going to be good! |
| I love Bunta so much. |
| If Bunta asked Masashi to get parts for the 86 then did Takumi's friends/coworkers use those parts? If they didn't I guess Bunta would've souped up the car himself anyway or was he counting Takumi to ask them? |
Novels I have read/am reading pending approval: since November 10 2022 |

| Good to see Itsuki succeed in romance xD Takumi is epic again |
| Romance between Itsuki and Kazumi is being developed in each episode. :) I hope she will stay near Itsuki. Her brother is really bossy. Hehe, secret was revealed and the engine appeared to be even stronger than Takumi expected. Can't wait to see it in action. :D Maybe Takumi will suggest that if he win, Kazumi can stay? |

| Wow! 11,000 rpm top :O no wonder why Bunta got the scrape on his leg |
| Lmao I think Mogi is gonna kill herself. |
| Bunta really is a great father , but holy hell 11,000 RPM is really serious stuff |
| getting ready for the final battle hell yeah |
| If only we all had bosses like Itsuki's. |
| The line below is True. The line above is False. |
| Itsuki went flying after Kazumi showed up and doesn't care if his boss will yell at him based So that's what Bunta was planning for a new tachometer and gauges, The timing Mogi why'd she have to show up at the worst time possible, He doesn't have time for this just race already, I really didn't expect Bunta to tell what the limit is but damn he did not losing is in their blood is my best guess, Takumi went straight on ahead his opponent's turf he's dead serious on doing crazy shit this was a nice little build up. |
| jeeez itsuki got unlimited rizz, hella progress. as expected, we saw more of mogi. i'm not mad tho. 86 vs 86 incoming. |
| Takumi saying he wasn't going to ask his dad's permission made me think of Light Yagumi from Death Note turning evil 😂 Lmaoooo that's so funny that Bunta already ordered the Tachometer 😂 I love Bunta and we barely even see him Oh my god he said "11K RPM, DON'T YOU DARE LOSE." love that. Fuck, he's so badass. |
| 86v86 time. good thing takumi knows how many tacos he should eat during the race |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Takumi is ready to race. |
| I really liked this ep, so much info came down fast! I really hope Itsuki doesn't lose her gf this time because Itsuki deserves a gf. He has matured and a good guy honestly. it was very wholesome even tough I am single :(. I liked when Iketani helped out Takumi because Takumi has done much help to Iketani by just racing. Also I didn't expect Takumi to see Mogi after this long time. And Bunta said over 11k rmps, that's mad bro! |
| Bunta is such a cool dad! Itsuki became more likeable, surprisingly. Good for him, starting a relationship that's going nicely so far. I think, I now understand the author's logic behind romances in this show. He wants the most unexpected person to win it all (or at least to be the first one to succeed), while other guys, including chad Takumi, won't have as much luck. Otherwise, I can't comprehend why it was so necessary to make Mogi the way she is. Such an outlandish backstory for her too, but oh well. Hopefully, Takumi doesn't let her reestablish their relationship. What she did was inherently dishonest. I'm not even shaming her for dating a sugar daddy, what I mean is that she shouldn't have pursued and kissed Takumi without breaking up with that guy first. But however you look at it, she was two-timing, and that's irredeemable. |
| Bunta is such a good character, definitely one of the best anime dads for sure |
