It's good to see the romance from S1 back.
As I expected, this arc is indeed the best of the season. 4/5

I guess Takami is really done with racing on his own pass. Looking forward to the next episode!

That explains why he wanted Itsuki to come along, what a guy.

Haha, don't think that's his reason. I mean, he can probably tell that the sister will also be there for the race so he brought Itsuki so that he can discuss it with the brother and convince him to let her stay.

End of the season will be time for the Takumi goodness, adapting like a baws to this unsealed power engine.

I have the feeling Natsuki and Takumi will work it out in the end, which pisses me off...

Some great buildup! Totally excited to see the actual race!

Also why did they make Mogi appear then? Really starting to get annoyed by her...

Itsuki driving a car with a girl on the passenger seat without crashing - I had that bad feeling that he'll fuck it up again. :P And 11k RPM redline, wtf

Two good episodes in a row, wow. I can't believe Itsuki is the new MVP. lol His scenes with Kazumi were great! They like each other, and they are helping each other out! Itsuki is becoming someone she can confide her concerns to, and she was improving his racing skills with her knowledge, I'm happy for them!

And now that some time has passed and Takumi calmed down, he finally seems willing to listen to Mogi or something, but she chose a "bad" moment, and since there is no way for her to know this, she just thinks he's still ignoring her, and she's been skipping school too, I hope nothing bad happens with her.

I was a bit annoyed that Takumi went to Iketani for changing the car at first though, but considering it was because he couldn't find his dad, and Iketani has to do something I guess, I've let it go. But he wasn't even able to help with this, and it was thanks to Bunta being prepared that they got the pieces so fast anyways, so it's fine. This is most certainly the last race of the season, and it seems it's going to be good!

If Bunta asked Masashi to get parts for the 86 then did Takumi's friends/coworkers use those parts? If they didn't I guess Bunta would've souped up the car himself anyway or was he counting Takumi to ask them?

Seems like Bunta wanted Takumi to figure out the engine's power, and unseal it himself, and so that's what happened. Mogi tried talking with Takumi, but Takumi just ignored her, she must be really hurt. Damn, Takumi wants to race him at his own turf, that should be interesting.

Romance between Itsuki and Kazumi is being developed in each episode. :) I hope she will stay near Itsuki. Her brother is really bossy.

Hehe, secret was revealed and the engine appeared to be even stronger than Takumi expected. Can't wait to see it in action. :D Maybe Takumi will suggest that if he win, Kazumi can stay?

Itsuki went flying after Kazumi showed up and doesn't care if his boss will yell at him based

So that's what Bunta was planning for a new tachometer and gauges, The timing Mogi why'd she have to show up at the worst time possible, He doesn't have time for this just race already, I really didn't expect Bunta to tell what the limit is but damn he did not losing is in their blood is my best guess, Takumi went straight on ahead his opponent's turf he's dead serious on doing crazy shit this was a nice little build up.

Takumi saying he wasn't going to ask his dad's permission made me think of Light Yagumi from Death Note turning evil 😂

Lmaoooo that's so funny that Bunta already ordered the Tachometer 😂 I love Bunta and we barely even see him

Oh my god he said "11K RPM, DON'T YOU DARE LOSE." love that. Fuck, he's so badass.
