Differences from the Manga[]
- The section where Tomoyuki borrows Daiki's EK9 to break Takumi's downhill record at Enna Skyline was not adapted to the anime.[1]
- The Todo School's Mazda Bongo shown as they arrive at Happogahara is an Anime-only addition, as in the Manga the Todo School arrives in the Two EK9's.

- "Give Me Your Love" and "Night Trip" made their debut on this episode before their official release on the first soundtrack album of this season.
