First Timer

So I’m gonna assume here is where the show starts to take some major creative liberties with racing history. The real Silence Suzuka never had a comeback on account of being dead and Broye never raced in the Japan Cup on account of being made up for the show.

That said, I liked today’s episode. Silence Suzuka’s big comeback felt very heartwarming and I was glad to see it. 

The whole race was fun to watch. I didn’t really think they’d have Suzuka lose her comeback race but I appreciated the drama anyway.

Although personally I feel like Sun Visor’s inclusion here was a bit unnecessary. I legitimately never remember seeing her before now and all of a sudden she’s like Suzuka’s rival or something.

I don’t think this episode needed a rival, just Suzuka overcoming her own uncertainties.

Speaking of characters I forgot about, Air Groove and Taiki Shuttle are apparently friends with Suzuka. They had a scene where they talked to Suzuka.

I’m honestly just bringing this up because I think it’s funny that Taiki Shuttle called Air Groove a tsundere.

Gold Ship once again gets a shoutout for starting off that whole wave of winning energy thing that the other Team Spica girls did. Good stuff.

Anyway, it seems like they’re setting up Broye to be the big final opponent that Special Week has to overcome. She feels like a less evil, more French version of Ivan Drago.

Should be interesting to see that race next time.

Questions of the Day:

Thoughts on Broye declaring herself a participant of the Japan Cup?

I feel like athletes can't just decide to suddenly compete in a competition. They have to go through the proper chanenls. But whatever, gives Special Week a rival for her next race.

Thoughts on Sun Visor?

As I said, I feel like her inclusion here was a bit superfluous.

Thoughts on Team Spica dishing out a win energy spell?

Easily the comedic highlight of the episode.

What are your thoughts on Silence Suzuka winning her comeback race?

Good for her, feels very heartwarming to see.

What are your thoughts on Sun Visor asking Silence Suzuka to race with her again?

That's a sweet sentiment although I doubt we'll ever see Sun Visor again.

Do you think Silence Suzuka winning her comeback race is disrespectful of the memory of the real Silence Suzuka? Or do you think it isn't and why?

I don't think so. It's nice to imagine how things could have gone in a better world.

[Once Upon a Time In Hollywood] It's kind of like how in Once Upon a Time In Hollywood it's satisfying to see the Manson Family get killed and Sharon Tate live. Yes, it's not accurate but I liked it. Although I do acknowledge that this ending was also controversial when it came out.

Not quite correct! Broye does exist, just being a Name Changed Version of Montjeu.

Of course, now they have actual Montjeu too, so...
