This episode is a real onion peeler. For the episode, It seems the root of the issue is the picture that Kouya took of Haruka in the first episode. It's become a sore spot for Haruka, which I can sympathize with him. It seemed like it was going to be a funny episode at first, but it delves into the tragic past of both Haruka and Kouya. Looking at their past, I can now understand why Kouya struggles to take pictures and Haruka is determined to win. All of this brings a wholesome ending for this episode. Despite having no racing, it's honestly one of my favorites because of how realistic and emotional it was. I say you go get that crown, Kouya and Haruka!
