This is a long series with 68 episodes focusing much on the much noob Tobita team. Kouya wants to revive the Tobita club, and although he's not bad, he's a brat, noob, and underachiever. The better player he recruits, Kuroudo, Kyousuke, both who are no shows at training, would abandon Kouya at times, and at times too I wish they would stick with that. In battle, the 2 of them are far more interesting than Kouya, but its still a shame though when facing stronger opponents, they would win by outmaneuvering rather than hitting head on. That's why I root for Takeshi because of hisOPness. Only Takeshi's car Gaiki shows that much raw power with his steamroller car hitting head on and destroying. He needs more screentime to replace Kouya, it would only strengthen the show and make for a super good battle.
