The last scene made the episode. 4/5

Not enjoying this as much as the first season. The BGM seems to be worse, not digging the new art style anymore and the story seems to be even slower, especially considering this season is only 13 episodes long.

Yeah Natsuki-chan, you've been busted. Kind of funny though that he seems, more sad about losing the engine than what happened with the girl. And how can he say they weren't going out? They went out on dates quite a few times and they even kissed.

Agreed on that. And Natsuki and Papa weren't doing anything that bad, but, well, I think it doesn't really matter that much as the fact that Natsuki was hiding it secret. Anyway it's up to Takumi how to react to this, and it's not our place to judge him. But now that Takumi at least told Natsuki a reason I'm a little relieved. But overall I can't say that I'm happy about another teh drama, the third already... Well I hope that at least this one will turn out for the best in the end

So if your woman is doing the same thing as Natsuki, receiving "gift" from an old man and did what she did, you'd be glad, huh? Kanashi ze, ore wa, honto ni.. Well, about Takumi and Mogi going out, well, you know.. Takumi is kinda dense, and considering what Mogi did to Takumi and the old man, Takumi would take it as she was just playing with him, like you know.. having fun etc, it's kind of feel like those "one instance" thing, acted on impulse..

That new engine seems like a wild horse that needs taming.

Im a little torn on the ending. It was awesome that Takumi said good luck with the benz guy but at the same time im sad for him. Hopefully he gets over this quickly and doesnt stay depressed.

She was going out with some old rich guy in secret, calling him "papa", and receiving gifts from him. Definitely nothing unusual about that ಠ_ಠ Also, how do you know they weren't doing anything bad? lol.

And she mentionned that Papa saw her naked in season 1.
Plus, if we consider that Takumi and Natsuki's relationship started when they kissed, more than a month passed when she just juggled between the two.
I cannot fathom how one can support Natsuki in such a situation...

Bitch got mindblown in the last scene of this episode, and she deserved it. Consequences ; I hope the free gifts were worth it.
Hopefully this character is now out of the play, but I doubt it.

I'm honestly confused with excessive hate towards Mogi. It is like everyone is forgetting how "abnormal" she is. She did wrong Takumi in trying to balance two relationships (if you can even call em that), but she is trying to better herself. She also became aware of how odd her relationship was with this "papa" character is.

Takumi should just talk to her, and after that talk if he still doesn't like her then so be it. Nevertheless he shouldn't have brushed her off like that.

My real problem is, is that anytime drama is happening and we are seeing takumi on screen itsuki is next to him, which makes me get irritated. Idk why but that kid just keeps getting increasingly annoying every time I see his dumbass.

so you would like seeing your 17 year old girlfriend hanging out with a middle aged man and being that close? Edit:she also continued seeing him after getting together with takumi

Kinda feel sorry for Mogi
Especially Takumi just saw Natsuki at her last "meeting" with papa
But she shouldn't done that in the first place
Yeah, she totally deserved it
You're hurting our MC! Our precious Takumi is sad because of you! :(

I seriously can't stand Iketani and Kenji, it seems it isn't enough to keep saying that Takumi can't win in every single race he takes part in, they had to go all the way to Akagi so that they could say that Ryousuke was going to lose too. It's all they do in this anime, when they aren't fussing about someone else's car, of course. I'm glad Ryousuke won though, it would be really cheap for him to lose.

But now, Takumi is such a kid. Avoiding, and ignoring Mogi like that. He didn't even try to find out the source or the reason behind those anonymous notes and phone call or anything. He only saw her with a guy, and yes, they WERE in a relationship, but for all he knows, those notes could've been a lie and he didn't even try to hear her out like a sensible person would, I mean, I thought he liked her, and as he said himself, they weren't even dating, so why is he acting like he was betrayed when he doesn't even know all that was going on with her? I feel for Mogi, the person she likes isn't even willing to lend an ear to her, I'm disappointed, but not surprised.

Wow. I thought Ryousuke will lose, but he won! I was hoping he'd win, and he did, even though I was certain he'd lose. I wonder what will happen to Takumi's rematch with him now, since that guy himself lost. Ah, seems like Mogi got exposed, I wonder what'll she's going to do now.

Kyoichi lost? I didn't expect it. I thought he will be somebody like an overpowered villain of this season, undefeated racer with great car.

I tip my hat to Takumi for revealing to Mogi that he knows about her having a sugar daddy.

Ryuosuke is a damn gifted observer, managing to find such a small weakness and using it to his advantage. I almost thought that hes gonna lose and Takumi will be avenging him with new engine.

That scene with Mogi and Takumi really was brutal, Takumi delivered a very heavy blow in the end and pretty much ended their relationship with that

I really expected Ryuosuke to lose, but he came out on top, makes sense though because it'll drive the EvoIII to get revenge, and that'll lead into a re-match with Takumi probably when he gets his new turbo'd out 86.

Mogi, eh. I don't know what to think about that, she's totally in the wrong but he's also acting like a child. He should hear her out, and then decide, and I think that's what's going to happen in the upcoming episode or so.

being abnormal doesnt make it okay for her to that man i might be commenting 10 years later but you are dead wrong my guy there is no way you would want to talk to the person you like after you see them have a realtionship with someone else
