Just realize while I’m watching this that he is the one racer in the series with the most amount of losses that you see during the show. Lost to the 86, lost to the FD, and lost to the Evo IV
At least battle stage 1 and the Black Thunder audio drama CD did him justice. He gets to clap Sayuki's cheeks on a daily-basis after work as the series ends thou. He might be the real winner of the series extending that to MFGhost after all...
