| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Man, the back and forth pace of the battle between Ryo and Hojo was a seriously good watch. I really like how we got the 10th episode right after 9 leaving on such a good "cliffhanger". This 5th season is really starting to pick up and make it's way up to being as good, if not better than the other stages. I hope we get more climaxes as good as this with Fujiwara. |

| badass ep. loser in the nizz is such a loser. ryo should let him drive off cliff. and fucking buddha guy at the end wanting to help throughout the match then sees ryo trying to stop the nizz and is all chill in the back now. wtf guy |
Dont bother replying to my posts in forums, dont check them afterwards. |
greenmush said: MAN best match in the 5th stage. Poor guy wasnt loved by the girl that love him . Even though he should not have done those things but the girl shouldnt have suicided as well . Ryousuke ended up having to shoulder everyone's burden. nice summary and insight right there, but thats how Ryousuke is an awesome monster though damn that cliffhanger i wanna see soon if both of them will survive |
| Really good episode. Awesome Battle and how Ryousuke keeps recovering is awesome. Ryo is BOSS! I wonder if Zero mindset guy will help with the brakes nxt ep? |
 |
| What a cliffhanger at the end, I want to see the next episode so badly now. I was also wondering if that Zero guy will help them out. Anyway, Ryousuke is a driving beast. |
 |
| Kaori is such an idiot. I feel bad for both guys. |
| Intense Battle! It's so nice to see Ryousuke driving again :) |
 |
| What so damn intense! |
| I wonder if the the other guy will do something to intervene or if he is just there to shit his pants the entire race... |

JCDRANZER said: Kaori is such an idiot. I feel bad for both guys. All three of them are idiots. Kaori for not considering the negative affects that her suicide would have on the ones that love her (mostly Ryousuke). The moron in the R32 for playing a big part in Kaori's suicide, purposely endangering other people's lives by driving like a maniac with the excuse that he doesn't care about dying, and having the balls to talk shit about Ryousuke because he actually moved on. And also Ryousuke himself for risking his life and giving a dam about the moron in the R32 without thinking about how his death would affect everyone in Project D who deeply care for him. This whole subplot is just a headache and a bad excuse to see Ryousuke back in action. There could've been better ways to do it but they just had to go with this one -_- |

| Damn what a cliffhanger ending! Still epic development I must say, the continuous flashbacks are just great, and I really do wonder how this will end next! |
 |
| The best episode of this season for the moment. This battle is really exciting. That ending leaves a lot of suspense! |
| 3 parter... Ryosuke is letting reaper try to kill him... |
  |
| This was good, although I expect both to survive just like a "good" shounen, that cliffhanger was effective too! But poor Kaori, she was pretty much being sold by her father so he could keep his money/business as if she were nothing but an object, no wonder the poor girl grew up believing that, as a woman, she would never have the freedom to chase her dreams like a man could, and that was another reason she tried to inspire Ryousuke I guess, but she was cornered by her father, and by that despicable Hojo guy, he went as far as harassing her by saying that she would regret not having choosing him because her father's business was going down out of pettiness, it doesn't matter if he said it was out of "frustration", he tried to intimidate her with those threats when she was already feeling pressured because of her father, and Ryousuke had no fault in this, he was the only one that didn't force himself on her, it's so unfair for this Hojo guy to blame him too. Ryousuke is such a good guy that he never intended to die or to let that guy kill himself, what was to be expected, and he's also not to blame for being strong and moving forward instead of breaking down like Hojo, oh, and I stand corrected, the guy wasn't the father of the other Hojo, just his older brother, I misunderstood the situation somewhere along the line. Well, let's see how it ends, but this is already most certainly the highlight of this stage. |
 |
| Red car should've used his sound signal. Maybe that would somehow affect Shinigami before going fully mad. Bah, so that Kaori was a regular childish queen-wannabe. She wanted luxury and emotions, that's all. She was too weak to face reality and after noticing she couldn't control everything and everyone she decided to commit suicide. Ryousuke also had money, so no idea she did that. Kaori surely had some personality issues. Damn, that cliffhanger looks so bad. I hope nothing bad is gonna happen. :( |
| Great episode! I like the telepathic conversations between Ryosuke and Shinigami guy lol |
 |
| By far the best episode this season! So intense!!! |
 |
| Very great and intense episode specially because its a very interesting and sad battle |
Gmancam said: I wonder if the the other guy will do something to intervene or if he is just there to shit his pants the entire race... Lmao. You always need someone to drop comments on a battle/situation in these sports series. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Maybe the guy in the red car could help Ryousuke stop the skyline |
 |
| this race already has more intensity than every race in fourth stage. not just a race but a mental battle too. last scene with kaori was tough, RIP. ryosuke's a real one tho. 'you can't let the depth of your scar and sadness stop you from moving forward.' loved that. |
 |
| This love triangle is a headache and I can see why especially with the 2 suicidal characters that we got, must say glad that Ryosuke is back but it really is forced well the whole thing is forced on him so that's why it does feel like it, eitherway would like this battle to end probably the next episode now to see what actually happens in the race between these drivers, the other one is just suicidal and the other just wanted a front row seat. |
  |
| I feel sorry for both of them for having lost the person they love. Rin, with her selfishness, didn't want to use the escape route knowing that she had no more brakes, but I hope everything works out. |
  |
| And this is why I don’t enjoy love triangles lol Everyone involved gets hurt |
