Takumi having his 86-crisis is once again snicker-worthy and touching.

Seeing Takumi actively pissed and stressed is always a surprise because Takumi is so laid back. I'm a bit saddened that Takumi is no longer as clueless when it comes to cars, I will miss the baby.

Ryousuke does make mistakes, though it was absolutely hilarious when Fumihiro (is that his name?) went "Ryousuke-san, you make mistakes?" The fact that every fan was thinking the same thing does not make it less funny.

Keisuke is the WOOBIE! I ♥ the DORK! One track mind does not begin to describe the boy, it is so endearing. He won't date the girl because he wants to fully focus on Project D... you know, it is moments like these that you see the Takahashi-resemblance, obsession and single-minded focus.

It does not surprise me one bit that Keisuke use to be a gang member, and from what it was said probably was the leader of his own gang. I went slightly fangirl when he picked the pipe with obvious experience. Yes, I know how that sound, no, I'm not taking it back. The whole sequence was like GTO!

I couldn't decide whether I wanted to die of laughter or squeal in delight when Fumihiro told Keisuke to protect Ryousuke and not let him get hurt 'cos Ryousuke is important, and Keisuke was all 'I will.' What made the whole thing BETTER was Keisuke telling Ryousuke to stay where he is while little brother goes off to deal with the hooligans. Except you know, as soon as the hooligans saw Keisuke they started sweating and BOWED to HIM! MWAHAHAHAHA! Bestest SCENE ever! And Keisuke was like "Oh, it is you guys. Long time to see." And the SCARY looking gang members were like, 'We are sorry to intrude. Are the bastards who were working with us irritating you?" And Keisuke is like, "Yes." And the members are like, "We shall take care of it."

I kept expecting the gang members to start calling Keisuke "Boss." *dies*

And the FOLLOWING episode; we get KEISUKE-BACK STORY! OMFG! 4th Stage is GOOD to me. So, up till 3 years ago (Keisuke is approx. 19 now so he was 16 back then) Keisuke was a bit of a delinquent, was part of a gang and made much trouble to the point that his own parents had given up to him. Of course it was Ryousuke the older bother who SHOWED Keisuke the WAY! And the WAY was FAST cars and DEATH-LIKE driving.

Well... it worked.

Need more.
