EPISODE REVIEWS

I loved this episode. This was such a good episode. The backstory of Arakita was interesting to see. It was unexpected yet also very fitting. Also, we got to see Imaizumi grow. I did not like the end jump scare that we were dealt with, however, I know that we do need to deal with it since there's only a few more episodes until the end of the season. Anyways, I am on the edge of my seat!

I have to admit, I didn't expect to become this invested in the supporting characters. This episode does a great job showing that every rider has their own story and reason for fighting. It makes the race feel bigger because everyone on the road has something important driving them forward.

Arakita's backstory is emotional and motivational. But I personally don't like how the backstory is consuming most of the episode. Every rider of Sohoku is evolving in this competition. The ending was unexpected.
