3. organizations in the story are fictional.

4. Follow the traffic rules and drive safely."

5. Get ready, yo! Now we blow up the horn

6. In the silver smoke amidst the frozen city

7. Payback for a dream I've seen so many times

8. My body is frozen in a memory that I can't shake

9. Slam on the accelerator and deceive myself

10. Broken in the night

11. My eyes become sharper

12. All from someone's whim

13. It seems like the world will end any minute

14. Break into the night, it's the time

15. With scared eyes, I'm lost in the night

16. Embraced by a falling dream

17. Scared of being alone, missin' my heart

18. Even hurting myself

19. Love me so much, enough that I could fall apart

20. If only I could throw everything away

21. And just love you

22. Then I know I could face the truth

23. Vroom!

24. And at the corner I went...

25. Voosh!

26. as I cleared it.

27. At that moment, I was like the wind.

28. Nothing beats the pass.

29. When you have your own cars, go check it out.

30. My car? It's an Eight-Five, every racer's dream car!

31. You probably didn't know that.

32. "Act 21: Challenge from a Superstar"

33. This summer was very memorable.

34. —Why? —"Why?"

35. Because I bought a car,

36. and you debuted in the racing world like a comet.

37. Don't tease me like that.

38. One, two, three, four...

39. What are you counting?

40. Four is the number of races you won this summer.

41. First, Keisuke Takahashi of the Red Suns' FD.

42. Second, Nakazato of the Night Kids' R32.

43. Third, the duct tape death match with Shingo Shoji's EG6.

44. Finally, Mako and Sayuki's Sileighty at Usui Pass.

45. Four for four.

46. Your undefeated legend began this summer.

47. You're no longer just a dummy.

48. Stop exaggerating.

49. Don't be embarrassed!

50. Keep winning, Takumi!

51. Until I beat you,

52. and become the fastest in Gunma— no, in all of Kanto!

53. They'll be calling me... "Itsuki, Akina's Comet"!

54. Huh?

55. Since school ends early today,

56. let's go do something in the afternoon.

57. I kind of have to work in the afternoon.

58. What? You do?

59. I want to ride in your car again...

60. because it's very cute.

61. If you say so... but it's my dad's car.

62. You said you wanted to buy a car.

63. Are you saving up?

64. I save most of what I make,

65. but I'm still far from it.

66. How much do you need?

67. Around a million yen.

68. A million...

69. How much do you have now?

70. Not even close.

71. Takumi?

72. What would you do if I gave you the money?

73. I wonder...

74. I bet you'd thank me,

75. and treat me like a princess.

76. You'd owe me big,

77. so you'd have to quit working

78. and take care of me and love me every day!

79. —I'm so embarrassed! —Quit kidding around.

80. That's too much money for us to come up with.

81. I know that!

82. I was just wondering.

83. You have no imagination.

84. That's too far off to imagine.

85. We now know that Takumi's technique is the real deal

86. and will hold up anywhere.

87. It's more than just technique.

88. —Thank you very much. —You need natural talent

89. to be able to race well on a new course.

90. He's a genius because he defeated all those modern cars

91. with his ten-year-old Eight-Six.

92. —How gratifying! —Get a load of you!

93. You're the one who said he couldn't compete anywhere else

94. because he only knew Akina.

95. I know I did, but...

96. We all thought that.

97. Takumi is abnormal.

98. When I heard the news, I was sure he'd lose at Usui

99. against Mako's Sileighty.

100. Sorry, Iketani.

101. Don't worry about it.

102. I've decided to go by "Iketani the Lonely Driver."

103. That name sounds familiar.

104. Welcome.

105. Flowers?

106. Are you sure this isn't a mistake?

107. This is a gas station...

108. Takumi, this is for you.

109. Who is it from?

110. From Ryosuke Takahashi.

111. What?

112. Ryosuke...

113. Takahashi.

114. From the number-one superstar in Gunma...

115. to Takumi!

116. What does it say?

117. Let me see.

118. "To Panda Trueno

119. 9/1510:00 PM, Mt. Akina Peak"

120. September 15th at 10 PM...

121. at the top of Mount Akina.

122. Is that all it says?

123. It sounds like...

124. It's finally here.

125. A challenge from Ryosuke Takahashi

126. for a downhill battle.

127. Wow!

128. What are you gonna do?

129. You know he has to accept the challenge.

130. Takumi already smoked Ryosuke's brother Keisuke.

131. That's right. Avoiding a rematch

132. is more humiliating than losing one.

133. What's the matter?

134. Don't you like being with me?

135. —Of course I do! —You seem uninterested and preoccupied.

136. That's normal, I guess.

137. You seem so far away.

138. If this isn't fun, we should go.

139. It is fun!

140. Sorry, I apologize.

141. I'll forgive you if you tell me what you were thinking about.

142. Well, I don't think you would really get it.

143. —Bye! —Okay, I'll tell you!

144. A battle?

145. —Yeah. —Is that like a fistfight?

146. No. A battle is a car race.

147. A car race?

148. I never knew that racing was your hobby.

149. It's not really my hobby, but I guess it's kind of become one.

150. My next opponent is very good and very well known.

151. I've been thinking about it since this morning.

152. I must be feeling the pressure.

153. You're a good driver, so you'll be okay.

154. It's not that easy.

155. If you don't want to race, just ignore him.

156. It's not that I don't want to.

157. I may lose to him,

158. but I don't want to not race him.

159. That's so like you.

160. You want to do it deep down, don't you?

161. You don't show it,

162. but I know you're very competitive.

163. I kind of like that about you.

164. Ready to go?

165. Why don't we talk a little more before we go?

166. Sure.

167. I know why you got in a fight with that senior in the locker room.

168. After you quit the team,

169. your teammate told me why.

170. You stood up for me, didn't you?

171. I'm sorry I misunderstood you.

172. Don't be.

173. It doesn't matter now.

174. That's Takumi's Eight-Six.

175. Who is that girl?

176. Man, Keiichi Tsuchiya's drift is incredible!

177. Look.

178. Look at these pictures.

179. Takumi? Hey, Takumi!

180. What is it, Itsuki? Lunchtime?

181. You idiot!

182. Sorry, I was just talking to myself.

183. Takumi's been acting weird?

184. What's so weird?

185. He seems out of it.

186. That's normal.

187. I know, but he was better during the summer.

188. But when school started,

189. he suddenly got even worse than before.

190. Tired from all the races?

191. He just started racing this summer.

192. He may have lost his focus because of school.

193. I don't think that's it.

194. It's like something in his head broke.

195. Is he gonna be able to race like that?

196. He has a girlfriend, doesn't he?

197. What are you talking about?

198. I just thought he might be daydreaming about her.

199. Daydreaming?

200. Just like how you were with Mako...

201. Kenji... that name is taboo here.

202. It's all right, Itsuki.

203. Anyway, I happened to see Takumi driving with a girl.

204. Are you serious?

205. I just got a glimpse, but she was pretty.

206. Takumi's girlfriend...

207. No wonder he's been ditching me after school lately.

208. That traitor!

209. I've never even held a girl's hand!

210. That's it! That must be the reason!

211. I'm positive!

212. Leave it to me!

213. I'll take him out and interrogate him!

214. Racers don't need girls, right, Iketani?

215. Right!

216. We are the "Lonely Drivers"!

217. This is sad.

218. What's on your mind?

219. You've been...

220. dating Mogi behind my back lately, haven't you?

221. Oh, is that all?

222. "Is that all"?

223. It's no secret.

224. But nothing special to tell, either.

225. No excuses! Just answer this question...

226. How far did you go?

227. Honestly, how far did you guys go?

228. How far?

229. Be honest with your best friend!

230. Itsuki, watch out!

231. I'll tell you!

232. Then tell me!

233. Last Sunday...

234. Sunday!

235. the two of us...

236. The two of you...!

237. went to Akina Lake.

238. Hey, Itsuki, watch out!

239. What I mean is...

240. which base did you get to, you idiot?

241. Which base?

242. Did you kiss her?

243. —Sure. —What?

244. Hey, Itsuki, stop!

245. Stop the car!

246. Yeah, he's daydreaming about her.

247. Why are you staring at me?

248. You've been weird lately.

249. I have?

250. You never think much,

251. yet you've been so preoccupied.

252. I guess so.

253. He probably can't stop thinking about Mogi's soft lips.

254. I've been wondering...

255. what's gonna happen to us in the future.

256. In the future?

257. After kissing comes...

258. How can you even bring up such a shameful subject

259. in front of the "Lonely Driver"?

260. There's only one thing left to do after kissing!

261. What's the one thing?

262. You know—it!

263. What are you talking about?

264. You're not making any sense.

265. What I mean by the future is...

266. Never mind. Difficult thoughts aren't my specialty.

267. It looks like his daydreaming can't be easily fixed.

268. "Welcome to Touge

269. 1434m"

270. No wonder.

271. It's Keisuke's FD and Kenta's S14.

272. Kenta is fast down the hill.

273. His non-turbo S14 is made for it.

274. Keisuke took him under his wing

275. and has been personally training him.

276. He's our number-two successor.

277. The battle against the Night Kids is in two days.

278. Keisuke shouldn't be wasting time with Kenta.

279. He must be confident.

280. I guess Takeshi Nakazato is easy prey.

281. Keisuke's on fire lately.

282. Don't you think he's been driving like Ryosuke lately?

283. Yeah, I noticed that, too.

284. Ryosuke must be feeling pretty confident about his brother.

285. I heard that's why he's not coming to Myogi.

286. Can I ask you one thing, Keisuke?

287. What is it?

288. Why aren't we challenging the Eight-Six?

289. We should have him come to Akagi for revenge.

290. —Akagi, huh? —Sure!

291. There's no way you'll lose to the Eight-Six on our turf.

292. If you won't do it...

293. I will!

294. —Forget it, Kenta. —Why?

295. You think he'll beat me?

296. Not on Akagi's downhill.

297. That's beside the point.

298. You're a Red Sun now, and don't forget it.

299. We race on our opponents' courses.

300. I know we do...

301. but I can't take it.

302. The Eight-Six got the best of us!

303. If only we could battle fair and square...

304. Please let me take him!

305. Be patient!

306. Don't worry.

307. When the opportunity arises,

308. the person who needs to put an end to it will do just that.

309. You mean...

310. Ryosuke will?

311. Be patient. First, the Night Kids race.

312. Just leave everything to us.

313. He does seem weird.

314. See? He confessed.

315. He is, indeed, daydreaming.

316. We gotta do something.

317. We only have one week until the big race.

318. We're in serious trouble.

319. "To Panda Trueno

320. 9/1510:00 PM, Mt. Akina Peak

321. From Ryosuke Takahashi"

322. There was a time when I wandered aimlessly, tired of love

323. I lost sight of myself and gave in to desire

324. But destiny is ever-changing

325. And charmed by innocent eyes

326. Bloom like a red rose, I hold you ever so tightly

327. All I can say is that I believe my feelings are true

328. Let's enjoy our happiness...

329. Into our shining future

330. We'll prove countless times...

331. Our passion will last for eternity!

332. Bloom like a red rose, I embrace you ever so tightly

333. Even if I lose everything that I have, I will never let you go

334. Bloom, my beautiful...

335. and miraculous flower

336. This is seriously not good!

337. What's not good, Itsuki?

338. —The big race is... —Forget the race!

339. He's been daydreaming about a girl at this crucial time!

340. —Daydreaming? —He and Natsuki did this and that and...

341. maybe they did "it," too!

342. —Not that again. —Huh?

343. Next on Initial D: "Fierce Uphill Battle!"

344. Don't miss it!
