| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- I wonder why there's never a thread in the battle episodes... Yes, this battle has been worse than I was expecting. Or maybe I'm just not in the mood. 3/5 |
| Takumi always cam from behind because his Hatchi was always slower on start but this time his getting a little of what he use to make to others. Lol at those two waiting at that corner and being tsundere with each other. |

Man you took the words exactly the way out of my mouth XD That's so funny haha <3 Well it's a really good episode, I was on the edge of my sit when the battle started, but then it ended there -.-' I love this episode because it shows that Ryousuke is not weaker than Takumi at all, in term of technique, so I would say even if Takumi wins this, they're even. Takumi vs Ryousuke, out of 10 times Takumi will win 5 times and Ryousuke 5 |

| Still intense as ever. Damn, I need to get the OST of this series especially for this episode's 2nd half. |
 |
| They did a good job building the suspense for the race in the first half of the episode. |
  |
| Takumi will lose this match. Im sure of it. He lost the moment he thought victory was out of his grasp. This battle will still be intense tho. Im looking forward to it. |
| Not feeling this race so much so far...hope it picks up in the next episode. |
 |
| Uh oh, now Takumi himself thinks he's going to lose the race :o |

 |
| I like the race so far, the ost are so good you cannot not get hyped up from them ! |
| Oh boy this really looks serious! Can't wait to see the climax of this first season! |
 |
| Night kids? More like Tsundere kids xD I'm pretty sure with this kind of scenario, Takumi is absolutely going to win Where everyone doubt that he's going to win He's definitely going to win it xD This is so awesome though, can't take off my eyes from it Back to last ep! |

| I really like how everyone's coming together to watch the final race. The Night Kids were adorable. It's intense that Takumi feels so outmatched already, rather than being close and back and fourth, if he wants to win he'll have to really step it up. Which I assume he will because it's the last episode but still. Mogi's watching dog keep it up! |
| This might be one of the best anime fights I've seen in my life and it's not over yet. I'M SO EXCITED!!! I was cheering for Takumi the whole time and literally screaming. It's rare when an anime can fully immerse the viewer in the content like this. I don't know if I've ever experienced this before. I really love Natsuki. This episode made me love her even more. She biked all the way up to Akina just to watch Takumi race. Now if that's not love, I don't know what is. Looks like we won't be getting much of her backstory in this season but you can bet I'll be watching the next to find out more about her secret life. Also, I LOVE that electronic music they were playing in the middle of the race with the robotic voice. I LOOOOVE that effect in old 90s music and it reminded me of an old Sonic the Hedgehog remix I used to listen to as a kid: Freaking priceless. This'll be my favorite fight of the series. Finally helped me decide my favorite character too. It's freaking Keisuke.This guy is a gem in my heart. <3 (PS, this is the song) |

| There was a bit of recap at the start, but it managed to get me hyped for the race. Iketani and Itsuki were being as obnoxious as ever, but the rest was really cool! The race is on fire, and for the first time Takumi is the one being chased, and this is where his lack of experience might cost him. I also liked how Mogi went to see the race, seeing Takumi racing might make her fall even harder for him. Well, time to know how this stage ends. |
 |
I just came to post Shingo in a tsundere mode |
 |
| Takumi feeling the pressure. He might actually lose this one. |
 |
| So it's the last race of the first stage, it can be the best, I hope the last episode will be awesome |
 |
| Come on Takumi, you can't give up, you got this!! Oo, final episode coming up... |
If you don't like me, acquire some taste |
| The tension is real and the race was shown spectacular, however I think the previous races were more interesting because of various styles of racers. It makes this final race even more spectacular, because Ryousuke Takahashi was able to copy, master and improve Takumi's style and he pretty much is on a way to dominate Takumi. One episode left. I hope it will have a lot of action and drama. I hope also NOT to see Takumi losing only to win in the last seconds of their battle due to seeing Mugi and getting "power of love boost", lol. |
| Night Kids acting all tsundere to each other lol ok ngl this race is pretty tense |
 |
| Night kids acting Tsundere made me die hahahaha Kinda want to see Mogi's reaction to when she sees how cool and good at racing Takumi is.. |
 |
| Very interesting and intense episode, the race so far has been done truly greatly |
| Not feeling the big impact of the two racing so this build up better hype up the climax in the last episode I'm really hoping for it, Those two just can't get along like you're on the same team bro it's like friendly fire is on. |
  |
| the build-up was great. takumi looking under pressure for the first time ever. it's not looking good. kinda cute that mogi cycled all the way to see the race tho. |
