Hell, I think they phased out the kid with the Supra way too quick.

Yeah I never expected the guy with the testa to stay long anyway, but he did still appear in quite a few episodes. I completely agree on Aizawa with his Supra... I didnt like they way they 'killed' him the very second he would reach his top but oh well.

Full of suspense since the start.

6:35 the Lan Evo cannot keep up with Akio's Devil.

"you're free to decide whether to race or five up"

In the end, the Blackbird surpassed the Devil. With the Lan Evo arc done. Kijima's the next challenger for the Devil Z

It's mostly been a rotating door of side characters that attempt to challenge the Z and the Blackbird. They fail, then they leave.

Well, there goes Eiji, just like any other character in an arc, they come and go, but Eiji is by far one of the most likable ones. He had such a great thing going in Tokyo, future career ✔ future business ✔, future wife ✔, future family ✔, capital income ✔, but at the end, he chose his family above all else. His home is in Osaka, and that's the way he decided it to be. I think the fact that he ahs to physically leave the city where all the characters are made it that much more impactful to see him leave compared to the other characters who don't appear in the episodes again but we know that they're still somewhere in Tokyo. 

This episode's race battle is awesome, it's also the most significant one by far considering that Blackbird beat the Devil Z officially. AKio has to step up his game and risk more than he has ever done before.

I'm not too sure but is Kijima's demo car a white Porsche 911 RWB? It has that aggressive spoiler and flared out wide body. Kijima's Porsche is miles better looking than Tatsu's I have to say, more timeless design.
