But i can't even see a place for a passing in that narrow road.

Natsuki trying to stop her whoring ways. Kind of laughed at the close-up on the boots though because they had such big high heels they reminded me of the type that porn stars wear on their videos.

Itsuki seems that he will again be going back to the "Lonely racers" thing.

Poor Itsuki. I kinda feel bad for Mogi, it's too late for anything but still she want to change it, she want to change for the better. hoping for Takumi to just look back at her once more, poor girl ): Though I hated her enjo kasai way.. and yeah.. I can't see a passing route either, but there gotta be a chance somewhere..

hello! I know this is late, but I just re-watch Initial D *Thumbs up*. Man I miss this anime xD Awesome battle between two 86s. I feel bad for Itsuki, heartbroken :( (I know it feels) Natsuki Mogi at first I like her but then when I found out that she was dating that old fart, my hate-gauge went up. Even though she want to make up her relationship with Takumi it's too damn late. She should have thought about it WAY back in the beginning. Girl don't deserve second change i dunno what she been doing with that old fart (I'm guessing sexually favors) hate it.

I watched first stage and second stage in one day.. DAMN! now to sleep for the movie ^_^

Levin vs Trueno too awesome.

Im sad for Itsuki but Kazumi is doing the right thing. She needs to take control of her life. I need to learn from her. Im still in the passenger seat of my life. Ive let someone else decide my major twice now. How will I be able to look back and say I made the right choice when I willingly gave my choice up to someone else to decide.

Mogi decided to move on, she was blaming herself, and yes, it wasn't nice of her to approach Takumi without properly breaking up with the other guy, but it's not like she didn't try to, and she wasn't in two relationships at the same time. She rushed things with Takumi, and she's paying for it, but it's not like she committed a crime or something.

Also glad for Kazumi, she's going to get her license, and try to pave her own path thanks to the inspiration she got from Itsuki. It was also fresh that the one commenting the race was Ryousuke with valuable inputs, and not Iketani that just keeps repeating that Takumi is going to lose. lol Well, to the season's finale!

I thought it would be Bunta that show up after Kenji picked up Iketani. Who's driving the mini Tachibana went in?


We are seeing the aura Nakazato talked about in episode 4 of the First Stage before the race against Keisuke's FD.

Good lord, what a dangerous pass, well, not as dangerous as the duct tape challenge from before. Mogi seems to be putting some commitment into becoming a better person for both herself and Takumi, I'm honestly glad that she's doing that. Takumi is finally adapting to the new engine, he will surely become invincible soon, haha.

Unfazed by the author's plans for Itsuki. He will always be the butt of the joke imo.

That intense battle between two 86's. Damn, that powerful engine.

Nooo, poor Itsuki. :( His heart for sure broke after hearing Kasumi. I hope, though, that she will return after some time, after getting driving license and being more independent.

Takumi's race is surely interesting! Three rounds so far, two modified AE86, hard and tricky route. Good finale if you ask me. :) And there is still one more episode.

11 000 rpm and Make Up Your Mind make a fine combination.

Too bad for Itsuki, though. I guess the karma from cockblocking everyone else finally caught up to him.

This season's Itsuki is a HUGE improvement on the joke of a character we got in season 1. I feel so bad for him because he finally got close to a girl he deserved. No lying or BS-ing to look cool; just honest kind Itsuki. And just when things were looking good, she has to leave. I almost don't care about the race anymore because I want to focus on the development of each character.

Their boss is the best took a bullet for the team and went on with it o7, Glad Mogi is changing her ways as I see it "whoring ways" god damn she's on fire from threads more like "Hogi" The one and only eurobeat songs are back damn I miss hearing these on races, Holy shit if you can make your car emit aura like the one Wataru sees that's something else

"Takumi's biggest fans" yeah how in the fuck telepathy the only ones informed of this race was the gas station crew and they got there before them the fuck

Itsuki going to go back to an L because that L stands for Lonely Driver does the author have something against him let the man be happy for once longer, Another aura emitting looks sick and the awaited Levin vs Trueno I was hoping I'd see that and here it is now time for the last episode.
