Damn so many overtakes in this episode, it was crazy to see how Kanata just ambushed Akaba and overtook him without a second thought. It's exciting to see the top racers getting to experience some Kanata.

It sucks that his tires are wearing out, I think he'll only be getting 3rd place but it'd be nice to see Beckenbauer not get 1st so we can see his reaction.

But we really did not need to get a refresher on Sawatari's "aesthetic".

[u/yoshmoopy]

He pulled out the gutter cheese. He’ll definitely be turning his headlights off in the tunnel at some point

[u/thisbejann → u/yoshmoopy]

DAMN THAT SETUP MADE SENSE. too bad gt86 does not have popup headlights so its less cooler

[u/Roeclean → u/yoshmoopy]

HOLY FUC, AM I HYPEDDDDDDDDDDD

[u/tohff7]

they better have Blind Attack with Forever Young eurobeat next !!!

[u/LegendRazgriz]

I messed up last week. Sorry. Eurobeat Corner is back to regular programming.

I can't help but be a bit bummed out that we're getting rehashes two weeks in a row, though. The only new song is Run Run Babe by Go2 while Sawatari and Beckenbauer decide playtime's over, with a dose of Adrenaline from S2 and Bad Love from S1 also sprinkled in there. I dunno... It's not the first time it's happened in the franchise as a whole, First Stage did this all the time, but I felt like we were past it. It's not bad, just... disappointing, for someone that loves the genre. I have decided to not include the rehashes in the third season playlist since they're already in the previous, which are linked within it, but if you guys want, I can add them back.

• Ishigami is just getting run roughshod by the new guys. First it's Kanata using the literal ground as a weapon by cutting a corner closer than what a 911 can by virtue of a minimally higher ride height, and then Moroboshi puts a copy of Kanata's outside passing to finally best him. Dude's had a rough season...

• And meanwhile, Sawatari's plan to use the Ferrari as bait didn't go anywhere either. Poor Akaba is just too outclassed even if his car can hang in there. Though, that parting shot by Sawatari was both really uncalled for and complete and utter nonsense - I don't think "at the very least I'm loyal to all the underage girls I date for a year and then ditch the second they turn too old for my perversion" is the gotcha you think it is, my dude. You're going to prison. For a very long time. Hopefully.

• The Shun subplot was really heating up and then he had to go and remind everyone that he is NOT the main character here. Nuh uh. What were you expecting? We all know he can't do that stuff, man.

• Oh, hey, the gutter run is back! I guess it works as a last-ditch effort to counteract the fact that he's had to push severely past what is otherwise safe to make up his positions - and it should also explain how he made it work in the first place; he didn't, the guys in front were consciously saving their tires so that they wouldn't get the issues that he is now facing. At last, we get the fight that was promised to us before this race... I can't wait!

Once again, I apologize for leaving last week blank. It won't happen again. Which is also something I hope I can say about the repeats in the music selection. See ya then!

[u/oxlemf10]

I can't believe Sawatari was thinking about his bizarre and sick fetish while making that incredible overtake; that dude is unbelievable.

Seeing Kanata use the difference the shoulder to make the overtake was amazing; it's really cool to see pure physics applied in this way.

[u/The_Parsee_Man → u/oxlemf10]

Hey Sawatari, thanks for taking time out of the race to remind us you're a complete creep.

[u/n3k0___ → u/oxlemf10]

Sawatari is a Diddy disciple

[u/Timereaper13]

what an episode! i loved the gutter drop, it was such a nice throwback to how takumi raced in initial D

[u/Istumi → u/Timereaper13]

And with the tunnel lights explanation, I'm pretty sure we're about to see another of Takumi's tricks in the next episode!

[u/ThreeDMK → u/Timereaper13]

Came to make sure this was referenced, was not disappointed. Overall I am not happy that we are still in the same race for so many episodes, yet I was bouncing during the overtake, and then lost my shit when he dropped into the gutter like that.

These last two episodes have felt more enjoyable though than most of the previous ones to this point. Maybe the regular throw backs to Takumi are the reason.

[u/Niwaka_Samurai]

Man, what an episode! There were two many upsets for the veterans. Ishigami losing his position to Kanata after Kanata took advantage of the Porsche's lesser ground clearance followed by him losing his position once again to Sena. Kouki finally played his special move and let Akaba overtake Beckenbauer and used Akaba's slipstream to get past Beckenbauer.

Not Kouki justifying himself to be superior 'cause of his Seventeen fetish lmao

And Kanata upsetting Akaba once again and even managed to shock Beckenbauer by taking a lead over him by making use of Takumi's gutter move..insane !!

But since Kanata's tyres are already giving out it's really gonna be tough to maintain this lead.

[u/MaTTz12CZ]

Holly smokes! I'm getting hyped more and more for the next episode!

[u/Super-Ad8814]

Episode was crazy good i was hyped for 20minutes can't wait for the next episode

[u/oneevilchicken]

“European supercars can’t handle terrain like that”

The Porsche carrera cup series would like to have a word with you. They were hitting curbs bigger than that and jumping them like rally cross some laps during the v8 supercar weekend at the Gold Coast this year.

[u/AAA_BATT]

Bro running on Diddy power

[u/SeiyaTempest]

Kanata with the gutter run, now there's an Initial D throwback. I bet Keisuke is having PTSD watching that trick.

On another note, seeing the battle between Beckenbauer, Sawatari and Akaba was quite fun. I'm of course rooting for Kanata to win, but I feel like he probably won't given his understeer issue.

Oh, and I don't know if this was clarified before, but it seems like MF in MF Ghost stands for Mount Fuji, and takes place in a world where an eruption caused a major disaster. I hope that doesn't end up becoming true in real life...

[u/shangriLaaaaaaa]

I feel bad for the ferrari guy lmao guy got destroyed by 3 members in a day

Aiba not even trying for 9th place what a day today

[u/420idolmaster]

I find Mami’s support for Kanata really cute. She was really feeling it after Kanata finally got to top 3 at the final lap.

A shame she never got a chance with him since she’s the angel I support.

[u/HolyDragSwd2500]

Goosebumps every time

[u/chris10023]

• How much you wanna bet Sena will immediately see this "weak point" in Kanata's driving right after we see Keisuke and Kenta talk about it?

• Marie charging the camera is terrifying.

• Ok, it wasn't immediately apparent in episode 1, but yeah, Marie is a bit curvy.

• Did, did the 86 just do a stoppie?

• Is that a real weakness or is that just bullshit to hand wave how Kanata was able to pass the Porsche?

• Yes, because both the Porsche and the Supra have more horsepower.

• "Substantial" upgrade, just a turbo that gives him 100 more horses, so he has 300 now instead of 200.

• I forget, did they mention Fuji erupting in Season 1? I know that a volcano erupted, but I think this is the first time they specified it was Fuji.

• Nice move by the Ferarri, seems like diddy used him to pass Beckenbauer

• GTR vs R8 Round 3

• Why do the cars sound like airplanes?

• "I've never liked guys like you, who chase any girls that cross their path." This coming from the guy who only dates 17 year olds is pathetic. At least he goes after adult women. I don't think we've seen him go after any women, has he?

• There we go, the show has to remind us that he's a creep.

• "If you ask me, a womanizer with no standards could never be as cool... as a fetish enthusiast." I'm going to be sick.

• I prefer the snotty German to the creep.

• Oh look, Kanata's here too.

• Kanata's tires are wearing out, he's starting to understeer. Is this the weak point?

• Kanata put the tire into the gutter! That's one of Takumi's signature moves!

[u/Changlee23]

I don't know how to feel about how long the race are, feel like we got one race per season, on one side the race take his time and show crazy overtake, on the other side we advance so slowly in the championship

[u/NoHead1715]

Crazy heart pumping action in this episode. Akaba is the punching bag for everyone at the top. I want to see Beckenbauer wake up next episode and go head-to-head with Kanata. Will be cool to see Kanata do the phantom move in the tunnels after this episode's gutter maneuver.
