EPISODE REVIEWS

WOW! Takumi proves how much of a monster driver he is in the opening scene with Itsuki. Then, we get some interesting glimpses of the other characters. Finally, a new challenger arrives? Who’s that guy, and why does he feel so dangerous?!

This episode really shows that the driver matters more than the car! it was so satisfying to see Takumi defend Itsuki's honor on the road. He is such a loyal and supportive friend.

I love how Itsuki Takeuchi treats his Eight-Five like it’s his own kid this entire episode, it’s so funny and cute. The scene with Natsuki Mogi, though, felt kind of confusing like they were both on completely different wavelengths, unless that's me misunderstanding things.
