Skuld Sabotages the Motorcycle Race

Open →
The drag race gives Skuld a very human-sized way to attack a divine-sized problem. Keiichi is building the motorcycle under absurd time pressure while Tamiya and Otaki turn the whole thing into club-level chaos. Skuld, still hoping Belldandy will leave Keiichi and return with her, interferes with the race instead of confronting what Belldandy actually wants.

Keiichi wins anyway, but the important result for Skuld is not the flag. She has to watch Belldandy trust him through the interference and accept that her sister's attachment is not something a broken machine can solve.
What changed
Skuld stops treating Keiichi as a temporary obstacle and begins, reluctantly, to understand why Belldandy chose this life.
