The Sakura Blossom is not what you expect from a JCAS vehicle. Pink, purposeful, dressed in proper racing livery. It looks like it took the racing seriously before it took anything else seriously, which is either a coincidence or the result of extremely careful research.

It was extremely careful research.

The driver has opinions about everything — lap times, tire compounds, racing lines, the correct way to hold a katana, the under-appreciated narrative complexity of a particular episode involving a demon whose name they will absolutely spell out for you. The other JCAS drivers find this exhausting. The lap times make it difficult to say so directly.

The mall-ninja tanto displayed on the dashboard is, they insist, purely ceremonial. It has a price tag on it from a store in a shopping mall. The store has since closed.
