Very close to Manga volume 6, chapter 40 "Robot Wars", although they needed a different reason for Skuld modifying the BMW (an idea that already made it into [series:133] back then), and they skillfully added Belldandy's dilemma about how to deal with Skuld in this situation.
<br />
I never liked Skuld that much; she basically prevents Keiichi and Belldandy from getting any closer for quite a while, and she behaves like a spoiled brat most of the time. What's more, she makes Belldandy no longer focus on her boy for the first time in this series - which is something not only Keiichi has to get used to. But actually Belldandy's story is interesting - she is caught between the devil and the deep blue sea somehow, and she really needs help this time.
<br>
On the other hand, note how Urd has matured, anticipating the problems arising from Belldandy's plan quite early. At this stage of the series Urd is my favourite character, as long as there's so little screen time forMarller,Mara, Sayoko, Sora, and Megumi. But exactly this Megumi has her great performance in this episode, beating Skuld in the goddess' home backyard - this was a "losing draw" for the Little One, and she must be aware of this. And my favourite track "Race" from the OST album in use once again... yay!
<br>
I have to ease myself into Megumi unscrupulously letting Keiichi trying the modified BMW to merely prove her point, but this is a comedy after all. Then again, I <i>did</i> like that running gag with Urd being told she's Skuld's sister and very much so...
