Go girl! She gained some good ground in this episode. Now lets see what Fujiwara can do against this little light car.

I think I would be able take her a little more serious if she didn't use 'Darling' all the time...

Also, it looks like Itsuki and Kazumi might meet again?

Keisuke is cool but Kyoko is not. Her character practically revolves around Keisuke, we hardly know anything about her apart from the fact that she is infatuated with her "darling".

That moment when Keisuke caught Kyoko hugging his FD was hilarious.

Kyoko x Keisuke is in the ship.. Kinda
Now is it time to Kazumi x Itsuki?
They'll meet each other... right? In the rain?
That'll be so romantic xD

I'm more impressed with how Nobuhiko didn't get wet at all in the rain
Who need umbrella when you're a badass like Nobuhiko? Even his glasses didn't get wet xD

Kyoko got her "date". Keisuke wouldn't have been able to sleep if he didn't already know she was a great driver.

This is how you cliffhanger an episode.

The 86 was finally officially passed to Takumi by his father.

But the way that guy talked to Kiyoko was a bit sensible, but also patronizing and too one-sided, so I'm glad that she didn't pay him any mind. Also glad that she's making progress with Keisuke; she shared some nice, sweet moments with him this time. But Fumihiro is funny, saying that they were caught off-guard with that car when Ryousuke saw it coming from miles away to the point of talking about it on the way in the first place, but well. It seems that Takumi is always facing his "greatest trial", so let's see how it rolls out.

Can this girl stop making appearances already, please.

But anyway putting aside my dislike for her (she's so boring and one-dimensional I just can't), I think it's good that they portrayed Keisuke as a nice and down-to-earth guy, especially after what Kyoko's acquaintance told her.

Lmao, people on the episode thread were correct, she's creepy indeed, touching the car like that...well, it was certainly a funny moment though, haha. Seems like Takumi is in quite the pinch, I wonder how he'll handle this troublesome rainy race.

Lol, the guy "trying to warn" Kyoko was afraid of getting cucked.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

It's not I don't like Kyoko, it I find her annoying and I can't take her seriously when she keeps on repeating "darling" so often, lol.

Another race has just started, but I have a strange feeling that despite smart leader, more organised nemy team with talented race driving a car countering Takumi's one, young Fujiwara will win somehow. Again.

Cute. What else can I say?

Takumi's opponent has a rather cute car as well.

I like Kyoko, but she needs to quit being such a creeper with this "my baby", "my darling" talk.

And what's up with this glasses dude that's so adamant about taking down Project D? He seemed like a normal, decent guy leading up to the initial race against D. But now he's trying to go all evil villain.

I don't like any of the female characters so far...not even one! first there was annoying mogi, then obnoxious mako chan and now this black FD girl. All of the female characters go around trying to hook up like it's nobodies business

Bunta is planning to get himself a normal everyday car, sure.....


That Akina pass incident probably has nothing to do with new car...


Can't wait to see how well will Takumi do under rain and if his weight disadvantage help him in any way

Here's the thing: if your thought process when you see your crush's car parked is "Oh my god, my 'darling's' car! I MUST TOUCH IT! I MUST ALSO PROCEED TO RUB MY BODY AGAINST IT AND COMPLETELY DISREGARD THE FACT THAT SOMEONE MIGHT SEE ME, MORESO MY CRUSH HIMSELF WHO'S PROBABLY SITTING IN THERE RIGHT NOW BUT I'M JUST TOO DELUDED TO NOTICE," then, boy, have I got some news about your sanity for you lmao.

Just when I thought this chick couldn't get any worse, lo and behold, I stand corrected yet again. Can she, like, buzz off already? I want more of the dudes and their cars, not insufferable romance attempts.

Few episodes and we'll see Bunta's new car and passing on the 86 to Takumi is refreshing to see that he now will own the car

Kyoko petting the car like it's an animal was hilarious when Keisuke saw her even from that sideview of his face he's like what is this b cooking yo, Wish she had more personality than just the darling shit like it gives off a creepy vibe to say it non stop, now we'll see how Takumi races against this compact car or cappuccino car.

The guy had the biggest nap of his life, there's a wrong stop there, but also in the car of a beautiful girl who won't sleep for a long time.

Is that something you can do in Japan, just park your cars on a blind corner in the middle of a highway and set out a blanket and have lunch on the pavement? Seems a little dangerous...

Keisuke needs to ditch this girl. He's already getting distracted by her, missing the chance to finalize tune-ups on his car right before the race, and test the track in the rain. Nothing good can come from this. Plus she's really clingy and stalker-ish, too.

Also I didn't get the advantage the red car has. It's lightweight? Wasn't that the whole point of putting the black hood on the 86, to make it lightweight too? I'm sure the point is the red one is even more light, but it seems to me if you're going downhill you'd want extra weight to keep you anchored to the pavement. Being super light, and in rain, seems like you'd skid off the road too easily.

This ep was great! A wholesome moment with Keisuke and Kyoko again.

Suzuki Cappuccino might beat Takumi, I'm not sure but even in the rain it isn't that easy to race.
