Yeah there's plenty of times where his opponent clearly fucking dies driving off a cliff and explodes, he gives zero fucks.

The food here is terrible. My steak was so tough it attacked my coffee and the coffee was too weak to defend itself.

Idk why this is such a odd scene to many. Most competitors would have done exactly what speed did.

That and it's not really their job or responsibility to throw matchs based on their opponents life's needs.

He'll just use the car's buzzsaws to perform the surgery himself
I don't believe in belts. There should be no ranking system for toughness.

I think it's weird that the writers act like he couldn't just win and give the other racer the money
That's exactly what I was thinking, lol.

I find it more curious why he wasn't going full speed to begin with.

there are actually several times when he's just a complete asshole, or a jerk, or really has no problem letting someone die or suffer as long as he gets out of it. it's all over the og speed racer episodes. dude's a total asshole.

I'm actually wondering if the episode ended that way. We just saw the end of the race here but not the end of the episode.

Yeah, it's the beginning with a weird gimmick. He lost anyway due to it.

Eh, note quite.
If Speed did start acting like an ass (or at least for the morals of cartoons at the time, overly selfish) it tends to bite him back really hard.

The whole debacle with the World's Fastest Car is but one such.

tl;dr synopsis: A company puts out the reported 'world's fastest' and Speed is given a chance to test drive the vehicle, dubbed GRX. Problem was due to the insane speeds, he needed a serum to keep focus which was handily provided by the GRX makers, but had a side effect that made you thirsty, but that came with another side effect of breaking your perception of speed and making you deathly afraid of going at any speed faster than walking should you DO drink water while still under the serum's effects.

You get no prizes to guess what Speed Racer had to endure through the 2-parter.

Because after he got the news that a kid would die if he won, he slammed on the gas and tried to win even harder.

Why would he even need to do that? Just win and then offer the other racer the prize money or whatever's needed to help him

That's why this scene doesn't make sense
He has no reason to give them anything. Speed didnt know these people did he? Hell they they could have been lying for a easy payday for all he knew.

That and he'd be broke in no time if he gave up his winnings to every needy person with a sob story.
