Looks like it is gonna be Tama’s last race, kinda expected it, though we don’t what the reason behind it is. I’m just worried Oguri will let Tama win since it’s her last, knowing her it’s highly unlikely. I’m happy Berno has some screen time to show that she’s working hard for her buddy, even happier when she finally found the answer. Seeing Dicta act like a tsundere drives me nuts, as a tsundere lover I can’t get enough of that. 8/10

Episode Context

Episode 7 marks a turning point where the series pulls back from the track and goes internal. Oguri Cap faces the full weight of what's ahead, and the episode leans hard into introspection, expect a contemplative, slower burn that prioritizes emotional stakes over race-day adrenaline. Themes of self-discovery and determination anchor everything here, with Oguri's relationships with peers and mentors providing the framework for her growth. The pacing is deliberate, weaving character-driven scenes with undercurrents of mounting tension as the Arima Kinen looms. This is the quiet before the storm, the kind of episode that rewards patience by deepening your investment in the protagonist's psychological landscape. If you're watching for the competitive drama, this installment builds the foundation that makes the payoff matter.
