—Go out with Mogi?Copy !req
71. Good! Good!Copy !req
72. Takumi, why didn't you tell me?Copy !req
73. —You should have told me you're Mogi's friend.
—I haven't talked with her in about a year.Copy !req
74. We were in the same club.Copy !req

87. Your family already has a car, right?Copy !req
88. It's no good.Copy !req
89. My old man's car is an automatic
and front-wheel drive.Copy !req
90. And it's a diesel. It's crap.Copy !req

110. Well, that's about right.Copy !req
111. It's hard earning money, isn't it?Copy !req
112. You spend more than that on me in a month.Copy !req

114. Of course. You're worth it.Copy !req
115. Really?Copy !req
116. I don't understand...Copy !req
117. —Thank you very much!
—Thank you very much!Copy !req
118. Hey, Takumi! Please think
about the Eight-Six deal.Copy !req
119. I don't care about an Eight-Six!Copy !req
120. You kids have good taste...Copy !req
121. trying to get an Eight-Six.Copy !req
122. See? See? Iketani thinks so too, right?Copy !req
123. Yeah, the Eight-Six is a good car.Copy !req
124. I told you.Copy !req
125. But I...Copy !req
126. To be honest, I don't know
what an Eight-Six is.Copy !req
127. Who makes it?Copy !req
128. Are you serious, Takumi?Copy !req
129. Want to drink some high octane?Copy !req
130. Working at a gas station and
you don't know the Eight-Six?Copy !req
131. What a disgrace!Copy !req
132. Oh, well. It's no surprise.Copy !req
133. When the Nine-Two model came out,
you guys were just in 2nd or 3rd grade.Copy !req
134. We have an old car at my house,
but we just use it for our deliveries.Copy !req
135. You can't compare that to an Eight-Six!Copy !req
136. Even if it's old, the Eight-Six is special!Copy !req
137. When we buy an Eight-Six,
will you let us join your team?Copy !req
138. I've always dreamed of joining
the Akina Speed Stars.Copy !req
139. Sure! Oh, by the way...Copy !req
140. It's Saturday, so everyone is
meeting at Mt. Akina tonight.Copy !req
141. You guys wanna come along?Copy !req
142. What? Can we?Copy !req
143. But we don't have a car...Copy !req
144. I'll give you a ride.Copy !req
145. We can ride in your S13?Copy !req
146. I'll go! I'll go! I'm definitely going!Copy !req
147. You're going too. Right, Takumi?
This is a rare opportunity!Copy !req
148. —Um, I never said I wanted to go.
—Cool! I can meet the whole team!Copy !req
149. Excuse us. We're going home!Copy !req
150. All right! I'll pick you up
at the bus stop at 8 PM.Copy !req
151. Okay!Copy !req
152. You're really into it.
Which mountain are you going to?Copy !req
153. Boss, Mt. Akina is the only mountain
around here worth racing on.Copy !req
154. We're the fastest team on Mt. Akina.Copy !req
155. Many claim that they're
the fastest on Mt. Akina.Copy !req
156. When I was still racing,Copy !req
157. there was a guy that everyone
admitted was the fastest.Copy !req
158. And he's still driving on Mt. Akina.Copy !req
159. Still?Copy !req
160. I know all the racers at Akina...Copy !req
161. but none of them are that old.Copy !req
162. It's just because he drives during
a different time. Because...Copy !req
163. he's now the owner of a tofu shop.Copy !req
164. What?Copy !req
165. About 4 o'clock in the morning,Copy !req
166. he delivers his tofu to the hotels at Lake Akina.Copy !req
167. It's amazing to watch his downhill speed.Copy !req
168. Because it's his business,Copy !req
169. he makes the run every day,
even in the rain and snow.Copy !req
170. He knows even the smallest stain
on the asphalt on Mt. Akina.Copy !req
171. I'd even bet on it.Copy !req
172. The fastest downhill car on Mt. Akina...Copy !req
173. is the Eight-Six from the tofu shop.Copy !req
174. The Eight-Six from the tofu shop?Copy !req
175. "Green Shopping Street"Copy !req
176. Going out, Takumi?Copy !req
177. Yeah. I have plans with Itsuki.Copy !req
178. I don't care if you're out at night,Copy !req
179. but I'll drag you out of bed if you
don't wake up in the morning.Copy !req
180. You don't need to remind me.Copy !req
181. I'm going.Copy !req
182. Shut up, Takumi!Copy !req
183. You're ruining Iketani's concentration.Copy !req
184. Whatever! But this sucks, and I'm scared!Copy !req
185. No big deal. Everyone gets scared
when they ride with a street racer.Copy !req
186. Next, we'll take the hairpin in second gear!Copy !req
187. You're still too noisy, Takumi!Copy !req
188. All right. Tonight, I'm going all out.Copy !req
189. Are you all right, Takumi?Copy !req
190. I didn't think you'd get that scared...Copy !req
191. I was in the mood and
pushed the car quite a bit.Copy !req
192. You're a wimp, Takumi! Shame on you!Copy !req
193. You're the type who screams
on roller coasters, aren't you?Copy !req
194. I've never thought that
roller coasters are scary.Copy !req
195. It's not like that...Copy !req
196. Itsuki, even if I explained it to you,
you'd never understand...Copy !req
197. this fear...Copy !req
198. What?Copy !req
199. I've never seen them before...Copy !req
200. They're headed for Mt. Akina
at this time of the night?Copy !req
201. Something may happen
on the mountain tonight.Copy !req
202. We've got visitors.Copy !req
203. The Red Suns?Copy !req
204. Are they the Red Suns,
the fastest drivers in Akagi?Copy !req
205. We're the members of
the Akagi Red Suns Team.Copy !req
206. I don't want to be rude, but...Copy !req
207. Who's the fastest team, or driver,
on this mountain? Please tell us.Copy !req
208. —What do they want?
—We're the fastest.Copy !req
209. We're the Akina Speed Stars Team.Copy !req
210. We consider ourselves the fastest here.Copy !req
211. Then we've found what we're looking for!Copy !req
212. Would you like to hold a practice sessionCopy !req
213. with our team, the Akagi Red Suns,
here at Mt. Akina?Copy !req
214. —What?
—Are they serious?Copy !req
215. Wow! What a great turn of events!Copy !req
216. What do you think?Copy !req
217. Since we usually only run with people
we know, it's becoming routine.Copy !req
218. Running against other teams
gives us a new challenge.Copy !req
219. We can make new friends
and exchange knowledge.Copy !req
220. And it improves our skills, too.Copy !req
221. At first, we can run together.Copy !req
222. Then each team will be
represented by one driverCopy !req
223. to compete in both uphill and downhill.Copy !req
224. We aren't concerned about winning or losing.Copy !req
225. We only seek to develop
friendship between the teams.Copy !req
226. What do you think?Copy !req
227. —If you put it that way, how can we refuse?
—Okay.Copy !req
228. How about next Saturday at 10 o'clock?Copy !req
229. Okay, fine.Copy !req
230. Today, we'll just take it easy.Copy !req
231. Awesome! This is awesome, Takumi!Copy !req
232. We don't need to be intimidated!Copy !req
233. —We're going, too!
—Yeah!Copy !req
234. Iketani!Copy !req
235. Let me watch the Takahashi Brothers—Copy !req
236. people call them the fastest in Akagi!Copy !req
237. You mean the Takahashi Brothers,Copy !req
238. the famous street racers who've
been featured in the magazines?Copy !req
239. Yes. They're also known
as "The Rotary Brothers."Copy !req
240. Iketani! What about us?Copy !req
241. Sorry. When I make a serious run,
I don't take passengers.Copy !req
242. Wait here. I'll pick you up later.Copy !req
243. This sucks! Why're we the
only ones without a car?Copy !req
244. Hey, Itsuki...Copy !req
245. Is it that much fun to be a street racer?Copy !req
246. I don't get it...Copy !req
247. Why does everyone get so excited about it?Copy !req
248. I'm the one who doesn't get it!Copy !req
249. We can hear the sound of carsCopy !req
250. running hard one after another, right?Copy !req
251. Why can't you get excited about it, Takumi?Copy !req
252. Excited?Copy !req
253. Hello, Fujiwara Tofu Shop...Copy !req
254. Oh, it's just you.Copy !req
255. What a surprise...Copy !req
256. Just me?Copy !req
257. I haven't talked to you in so long,
and this is the greeting I get?Copy !req
258. The other day, you passed me on
your way back from a delivery.Copy !req
259. I signaled, but you ignored me.Copy !req
260. Nope, it wasn't me.Copy !req
261. It had to be you. It was your Eight-Six.Copy !req
262. Well, I mean...Copy !req
263. it was my car, but I wasn't driving it.Copy !req
264. My son Takumi delivers tofu to the hotels now.Copy !req
265. What did you say?Copy !req
266. Since when?Copy !req
267. Five years ago.Copy !req
268. Five years ago? Since he
was in the seventh grade?Copy !req
269. Damn! I can't keep up with them at all!Copy !req
270. They're fast! I'm at my limit,Copy !req
271. but I can't keep up with any of the Red Suns.Copy !req
272. What do you think, brother?Copy !req
273. They're all trash.Copy !req
274. Even our second string can easily beat them.Copy !req
275. We don't need to bring
the top drivers next week.Copy !req
276. I'll pass.Copy !req
277. If you're not gonna come, I guess I'll pass, too.Copy !req
278. No, you should run.Copy !req
279. You should set a record for this courseCopy !req
280. which the locals can never break.Copy !req
281. Otherwise, the name of the Akagi Red SunsCopy !req
282. will never become legendary.Copy !req
283. Yeah...Copy !req
284. First, we'll set new records for
every course in this prefecture.Copy !req
285. Then we'll take Saitama,
Kanagawa, Tokyo, and Chiba.Copy !req
286. We'll have every record
in the entire Kanto region,Copy !req
287. then we'll become legends,
and then we'll retire.Copy !req
288. That is the Akagi Red Suns'
"Fastest in Kanto Project."Copy !req
289. They're incredible.Copy !req
290. They are completely different from us.Copy !req
291. I'm totally shocked that we got
so beaten on our home ground.Copy !req
292. They've put serious money into their
suspensions, and they've got power, too.Copy !req
293. There's no way we can
compete with the Red Suns.Copy !req
294. But how can we avoid a
challenge on our own turf?Copy !req
295. That's right! We can't back out now!Copy !req
296. But guts alone won't beat those guys.Copy !req
297. I know that... But...!Copy !req
298. It's getting late.Copy !req
299. Let's get together tomorrow and talk about it.Copy !req
300. Street racers don't like losing.Copy !req
301. They get too serious about racing.Copy !req
302. There's nothing worse than losing to
outsiders on your own home ground.Copy !req
303. It's like a law for street racers.Copy !req
304. Where's Ryosuke?Copy !req
305. He went home a while ago.Copy !req
306. We're the only ones still here.Copy !req
307. It's almost dawn.Copy !req
308. I guess we should head back, too.Copy !req
309. If I get serious, they can't keep up with me.Copy !req
310. They're still at that level...Copy !req
311. Finally caught up, huh?Copy !req
312. That's not one of ours.Copy !req
313. Is that an MR2 or a 180?Copy !req
314. Nice driving. But after two corners,Copy !req
315. I won't even see you in my mirror.Copy !req
316. An Eight-Six?Copy !req
317. You've gotta be kidding!Copy !req
318. My FD can't outrun an old Eight-Six?Copy !req
319. Is this some sort of nightmare? Crap!Copy !req
320. I'm the No. 2 driver of the Akagi Red Suns!Copy !req
321. Doesn't he know this road?Copy !req
322. After this slow right, there's a sharp left.Copy !req
323. If he doesn't slow down, he'll be in the ravine!Copy !req
324. I knew it! He's going too fast!Copy !req
325. There's no more room to slow down!Copy !req
326. What the hell?Copy !req
327. Inertia drift?Copy !req
328. My pride says you gotta be wild and toughCopy !req
329. So no one intervenesCopy !req
330. Never stop, I don't want to stopCopy !req
331. Even if you cry because of a sacrificed loveCopy !req
332. Aim for the peak, sweep the winding streetCopy !req
333. Beep beep! The warning chime is so cheap!Copy !req
334. The sheep should clear the roadCopy !req
335. 'Cuz I'm never gonna stop, streak my dreamCopy !req
336. Easy motivation is total stimulationCopy !req
337. You tried to escape,
but anywhere is a safety zoneCopy !req
338. Something is within your grasp
and something is forgottenCopy !req
339. Even if the world ends it will never changeCopy !req
340. Beasty shout, no one can touch youCopy !req
341. Cross over now to the time of an intense dreamCopy !req
342. Rage your dream, split the darknessCopy !req
343. Like a streak to the peakCopy !req
344. Erase the freezing darkness worldwideCopy !req
345. Rage your dream, and open the roadCopy !req
346. Di-ding down, another round never slow downCopy !req
347. A point 01 second knockdownCopy !req
348. Reverberations left behind,
disappear to the next townCopy !req
349. The losers are left in the dustCopy !req
350. Let's ignore the constraints of logicCopy !req
351. 'Cause they're a painCopy !req
352. A streaker runs naked across the streetCopy !req
353. Something they would knowCopy !req
354. Rage your dream,
continue on the unending roadCopy !req
355. Don't look back on your love or your pastCopy !req
356. Go forward and you'll shine brightlyCopy !req
357. Rage your dream, you're living in the nowCopy !req
358. Drift fans and Eight-Six owners!
Thanks for waiting!Copy !req
359. At last it begins!Copy !req
360. Initial D!Copy !req
361. What did you think of
Takumi's super drift technique,Copy !req
362. racing his 1.6 liter non-turbo Eight-SixCopy !req
363. against a high-potential 350HP FD?Copy !req
364. Pretty cool, don't you think?Copy !req
365. And for those who understand
all the technical jargon,Copy !req
366. Initial D shows you the essential details!Copy !req
367. Next time, get ready to watch
another exciting race!Copy !req
368. Don't miss it!Copy !req
