TAkudama Drive is one of the most visually stylistic anime to come out in 2020. Its cyberpunk elements are astounding to look at and the action is breathtaking. Originally the show was supposed to air in July 2020 but the ongoing CoVID-19 pandemic delayed it until October. With four episodes in, fans can hardly wait for Akudama Drive Episode 5.
Akudama Drive is set in a dystopian future in Kansai and follows Akudama or criminals, pursued by the government. We follow these criminals on various missions with amazing cyberpunk aesthetic and the obvious Quentin Tarantino influence.

Black Cat asks Hacker to open the door in advance. The Policeman and Policewoman appear suddenly intending to execute the Akudama crew.

The Policeman, not knowing that Brawler has improved since their last battle, attacks him. Brawler blocks all of his attacks easily. Hence, letting Hacker open the doors. Courier decides that he needs his bike for the job and it is behind the Policeman. As Brawler gets a kick to his chin, Courier fires some shot as heads towards the Policeman.
