| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Are we never gonna see Keisuke drive? Anyway this one is one hell of a battle. I really have a hard time seeing how can they possibly win. The driver is a lot better than the last guy who was already very good and the car is also better. This time they probably lose in every section. We at least the fromd is lighter with the new hood. |
| If you ask me, I'd prefer no tunning at all. It was really cool when original Trueno kept winning despite being greatly underpowered, but, well, okay, I understand that it's a necessity, 'cause there's a gap underpowered car just can't fill, and internal tunning without changing the looks of the car had its appeal, too. But, having changed the front looks as well, now you will never get that reaction "wtf, that 68 crap has beaten me! How in the world could something like that happen" again. It's just not that fun anymore. |

| As I expected, they skipped Keisuke's match zzz.. I am interested as to why Ryousuke chose the underpowered 86 for the battle instead of the FD with more power.. |

| Oh wth, quit skipping Keisuke's races already -_- |
 |
| Hoho, will we see a father/son race sometimes in the future ? :p Stupid show-off, putting his racer suit... "I'm a pro, suck it bitches" Oooh baby Keisuke is upset, he didn't get the favor treatment. Still think you're the ace, now ? |
| wonder what ryosuke's goal is? |
| Great buildup! Let's see what's next. |
 |
| Keisuke's race skipped again ? |

|
| Setup, Race. Setup, Race. Setup, Race. It's a pattern that works. Good setup for the race again. I'm hyped for it now! |
  |
| So Takumi's car is now truly his, and it's cooler than ever, nice. I feel bad for Keisuke though, his race was cut again, and even though he understands that his brother is making decisions based on careful consideration, it doesn't make it any easier to see Takumi being chosen instead of him, so it's only natural for him to start feeling a little jealous towards his twin ace. But Takumi is going to race against a pro now, and Bunta said again that he should lose, so it MIGHT happen, but I don't know. I still think Ryousuke should've been the one to race like that emperor guy said, I wonder if he will never race again. |
 |
| Too bad they don't show Keisuke racing, but if it's going to be in the Battle Stage then I'm fine with it. Other than this I was somewhat hoping that Ryousuke'll race.. but okay Takumi's battle will be interesting for sure. I still hope to see Ryousuke racing again, though. It's just such a waste, he was the best driver. Anyway, this season is just great so far, I love it. Looking forward to the race with the pro guy. |

| I wish they'd show Keisuke's races |
 Novels I have read/am reading pending approval: since November 10 2022 |

|
| They keep raising the stakes and this was yet another hype build up episode. Not to mention the cliffhanger that added to the anticipation for this race against a pro. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Just when after first 4 episodes I was worried that this Stage might be dull, it appears we will be getting a good duel in the next episode. :D Maybe Takumi's gonna be defeated? The enemy is not only tough. He is a professional racer after all. |
| haha we got jebaited there! Keisuke will never race lol. Takumi gotta steal the glory every time huh |
 |
| Takumi vs a pro!! I need to see this! |
 |
| Once again we got no race of Keisuke and it was a very hyped race in my eyes that just shouldv'e been shown at all costs. Talk about missed potential |
| Really dislike this pro racer guy, looking down on street racers and Project D like this is just unwarranted arrogance. Hope Takumi wins. I think what will happen in regards to Bunta saying he should lose more, is that Takumi will win this, and feel super hot beating a pro, and then throw a successive match, or perhaps Keisuke will challenge him because he's pissed off at both Ryouske and Takumi and he'll lose there. |
| Ryousuke probably chose the 86 to race cuz he figured that the professional drivers car would’ve been tuned to beat Keisuke’s FD |
 |
| Time for a real pro to take on the streets I wonder how Takumi will go up against him I really do be wishing on his downfall just to see him lose and grind more but it's the same as winning and moving on either way they always skip Keisuke's races just hopefully we get to see him improve in the long run. |
  |
| takumi vs a pro driver, woah. the 86's engine sounded so orgasmic omllll. |
 |
| This race is going to be exciting with this professional runner. Will Takume get sweaty like last time? |
  |
| the black hood is on. i wonder if it has any actual signifigance or if its purely for the looks |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Bro what the hell is going on? I want to see Keisuke race too like give him some spotlight for a bit lol Pro Driver doesn't know who he's dealing with |
 |
| I think Ryousuke is playing rock paper scissors here with this choice. The pro team will assume that the FD is going to race because on paper it would have the power advantage with the uphill sections (Paper). Thus they will make adjustments accordingly and plan a scenario to try to cut the advantages of the FD (Scissors). Adjustments will then be made to the Trueno along with a counter plan to smash the scissors scenario (Rock). I look forward to seeing how Takumi will handle this. |
 |
| I think Ryosuke made a wise choice by choosing Takumi and not Keisuke. I think that Takumi might win again and both of the cars will enter the first corner. Going to watch the next ep right away. |
