Man I feel for you, Takumi.. The sadness and anger and frustration knowing the one you loved is dating someone else for money.. I feel very sad too just imagining my love one will date other man someday..

Oh snap. Takumi seems extremely pissed!! He mustve cared for her a lot. That sucks big time. She does have good intentions but she didnt tell him about 'papa' and to me that seems like the thing thats the most unforgivable.

Takumi gonna unleash his fury on the road. I think we're finally going to see him lose in the next race and get that upgrade.

Good, Takumi taught that conceited ponytail guy a lesson, and I loved that "slap a bitch" moment between the emperors, he deserved it. A pity they aren't as cool as the Takahashi Brothers, even though Keisuke littered a cigarette butt, it's hard to take them seriously.

Also, that person from the anonymous notes went even lower, and followed Mogi around or something, just so that they could tell Takumi where she was. I'm glad this got out of the way, but disappointed that he paid attention to a coward like this, and also because it seems he already condemned the girl without even listening to her first, I wish he would do the mature thing and hear her out, but I won't hold my breath. Poor Takumi is playing into the hands of both the person that wrote the notes, and that emperor leader that challenged him. He's about to fall for being manipulated like a fool.

Takumi won, well, surely his current engine isn't enough to continue winning. Oh god, poor Takumi, he was crushed, even though his girlfriend was breaking that relationship, still, seems like that's the end of Takumi's and hers relationship..

I am here for this passion from Takumi. Although I don’t think him and the girl were ever official, it still is messed up that she never told him and probably wouldn’t have anyways.

Ayy, Takumi managed to win, but he didn't feel moved by this victory as for he saw that knowing Akina and all useful tricks on this trail.

While skeptical at first, after witnessing his crush meeting with her sugar daddy, he rode to Akagi to unwind a bit.

Itsuki is hilarious.

Girl is a skank. Deserves no understanding from Takumi. He should ditch her.

Time for Tskumi to race Yumi (Black Clover)/All Might (English voice actor). Whoo!

Maybe it was crummy translation in the subbed version I watched ...

Well white Evo really thought too good of himself, so no wonder he got suprised by old toyota and then became an instant embarrassment to the team

Man, as someone who has been in a situation just like Takumi there, shit sucks.

I'm nearly 100% positive he'll lose the race against the LanEvoIII though, because: 1. Pissed off and in rage over Mogi 2. EvoIII is just better all-around (same with EvoIV) 3. Not on his home-turf, so he'll have no advantage from that.

I wonder who is giving Mogi's information to Takumi. I assume it isn't someone we already know, right? The only person who could leave notes in his locker would be Mogi herself, or Itsuki. So obviously it's some unknown person, right? Interesting stuff.

That's not her real dad, it's her sugar daddy.
It was obvious from the get-go, we just got a confirmation in this season.

they need that for some character development otherwise, it was just machine driving another machine, I think it was good and besides the entire season was focused on Battle it hardly took one whole episode.

A more burning question is why did the manga and anime writers of Initial D choose to ruin a nice relationships by making everything go wrong? Same with all other potential romantic couples in this series. This makes me wonder if there are any other anime series just like Initial D that involves heavy car use and romantic relationships that actually END HAPPY without breakups.

He won what a coincidence like how every race he's been on just kept winning, Bitch slapped felt a bit bad for him but that's how it is if you keep your hot head winning instead of keeping your patience

That new engine is really making it's way even to relevance, Now he's mad straight up pedal to the metal and the eurobeat timing was really confusing but makes sense when he went to Akagi now I feel next episode he's gonna blow the engine.
