1. "This story is fiction.

2. All names of characters, places and

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. Takumi, you don't look too sharp.

24. Are you sure you'll be okay in the rain?

25. Who knows?

26. I can't go too fast in the rain, so I'll drive normally.

27. Who knows if I'll be fast or slow?

28. I'll take it easy,

29. 'cause if I crashed, my dad would kill me.

30. I'll count down!

31. Five... Four...

32. Three... Two...

33. One... Go!

34. "Act 23: The Rainy Downhill"

35. The S14 got off to a faster start.

36. It's not a turbo, but it has a two-liter engine.

37. It's not just the size of the engine.

38. He used the clutch well on the wet surface.

39. No wonder he's confident.

40. That wasn't the Eight-Six's best start.

41. He knows he can catch up once he gets going.

42. He took the lead!

43. Oh, no! His powerful S14 will widen the gap,

44. and we'll be left behind!

45. He's way behind.

46. This hill is too much for an Eight-Six.

47. But it's downhill from here to the finish line.

48. That Eight-Six is known for his killer downhill technique,

49. "Sekimon Entrance"

50. so he'll make a comeback.

51. Hello?

52. Hey, big brother.

53. The Eight-Six and Kenta in the rain?

54. Yeah.

55. Kenta is very confident racing against the Eight-Six,

56. but I know it won't be that easy.

57. I agree. Drifting through corners at low speed

58. is completely different from an actual race.

59. Yeah. It gets very difficult when you have to floor the gas pedal.

60. What tire grip can compensate for on a dry surface

61. is severely limited in the rain.

62. You have to shift the weight properly,

63. or you'll lose control and crash in no time.

64. I wonder if those two really understand

65. the difficulty of a rainy race?

66. Interesting...

67. "Those two..."

68. You liar!

69. You're only interested in the Eight-Six.

70. Help! I'm not ready to die!

71. Darn... it's coming down harder now.

72. The opponent is from Akagi,

73. so neither one has the advantage here.

74. The problem is the rain.

75. I wonder if he can perform in the rain?

76. I'm sure he can,

77. because he makes deliveries every day.

78. I'm sure he's driven on rainy days.

79. Of course he has!

80. Then his technique

81. should be effective in the rain, too.

82. I won't let you catch up!

83. I'll widen the gap.

84. In the rain, I can even outrace turbo-charged cars.

85. He swung his tail!

86. The S14 is running well in the rain.

87. It's hard to control an FR in the rain.

88. Yeah. It only spins to the side, not forward.

89. It's the Eight-Six!

90. Unbelievable!

91. What a drift in the rain!

92. What was that?

93. That drift was scary.

94. I have goose bumps.

95. Is this the same person who was lost in a daydream?

96. He said he would take it easy...

97. So is this how he normally drives?

98. Besides, it's impossible to see in this rain.

99. How does he do it?

100. It's so dark that I can't even see the road!

101. Stop that ringing!

102. This speed is insane!

103. He's not human.

104. He's a monster!

105. I'm on!

106. I'm in top form tonight!

107. I'll put an end to the Eight-Six's undefeated streak!

108. It's not Keisuke or Ryosuke,

109. but me who will defeat him!

110. What?

111. The Eight-Six is on my tail.

112. How? It can't be!

113. What's happening?

114. We haven't gone through that many downhill corners yet.

115. This isn't happening!

116. I got caught so easily...

117. going downhill in the rain.

118. But...

119. it's not over yet!

120. They're only inches apart!

121. Look! The Eight-Six is cutting in!

122. The Eight-Six is passing him!

123. He made it look easy.

124. Are you kidding?

125. It was worth waiting in the rain.

126. Yeah.

127. I can't keep up!

128. The gap widens with each corner!

129. I can't go around the corners as fast.

130. What could be making the difference?

131. I thought the rain was on my side!

132. Right, I see.

133. Word from the mid-point.

134. The Eight-Six passed your guy.

135. I guess he was way out of Kenta's league.

136. He did well, though.

137. The Eight-Six is even fast in the rain.

138. It was obvious even before the race.

139. The weather plays no part in defeating the Eight-Six.

140. It's finally your brother's turn.

141. —Welcome! —Welcome!

142. Welcome.

143. Anyway...

144. we now know that he can race just as well in the rain.

145. He's becoming more like a true racer every day.

146. He willingly took the S14's challenge last night.

147. His daydreaming seems to have passed.

148. I think our operation was a big success.

149. Yeah.

150. Anyhow, Itsuki, you were lucky

151. to be able to experience that rainy downhill battle.

152. It was so scary that I thought I would die for sure!

153. Besides, he told me to sit in the back instead.

154. In the back?

155. —Why? —No idea.

156. I don't even think Takumi knew the reason for it.

157. I get it.

158. I think I understand the reason.

159. Really?

160. What is it?

161. It's because...

162. —Well... —Well?

163. Itsuki's annoying.

164. It must be hard to focus when Itsuki's screaming next to you.

165. That makes sense.

166. That's why!

167. That's not it at all, you boneheads.

168. He had Itsuki in the back

169. because he thought he could get extra tire traction.

170. I bet he knew that intuitively.

171. Thank you very much.

172. I have no idea how much better he'll get.

173. Takumi!

174. Who is she?

175. Is that...?

176. —His girlfriend. —What?

177. "Card Club Pricing"

178. I don't know why I came, but I just ended up here.

179. Yeah?

180. —Is this a bad time? —No.

181. He looks obsessed!

182. This isn't good.

183. "Card Club Pricing"

184. I hate to bother you at work, so I'll go.

185. Yeah.

186. Trouble!

187. He may start daydreaming about her again!

188. Do something, Itsuki.

189. There aren't any more races for him to see!

190. There's no time for him to daydream

191. before the big race next week.

192. I know that!

193. Hey, Takumi!

194. Let's go to Akina for a spin tonight!

195. It looks dirty.

196. I guess it's because of last night.

197. Hello?

198. Who is this?

199. It's me. It's been a while, Bunta.

200. Oh, it's you.

201. What's the occasion?

202. Did you crash and get hospitalized?

203. You wish.

204. By the way...

205. I hear people are talking about your son.

206. I hear he's good.

207. What? This Saturday?

208. Against Ryosuke Takahashi? Who is that?

209. You don't know him?

210. Even my people know who he is.

211. I hear he's the best street racer in Gunma.

212. My son and he are racing, huh?

213. Who do you think will win?

214. Who knows? We'll find out this Saturday.

215. You haven't changed a bit.

216. I'm curious about the drift your son learned from you.

217. You scarred me for life with your monstrous drift.

218. That was years ago.

219. —Mr. Tsuchiya, we need you. —Yeah.

220. Later, Bunta.

221. I can tell that you've improved a lot, Itsuki.

222. You really think so?

223. That means a lot coming from you, Takumi!

224. I've been practicing the "grip run," you know?

225. Just for you, here's a brilliant technique of mine

226. that resulted from hours of practice.

227. "Illusionary Hell and Tear!"

228. This is strange!

229. I had no problem with it yesterday.

230. The next corner, then!

231. "Incredible Braking!"

232. Hold on, Itsuki!

233. I can relax now.

234. I was worried you were daydreaming about girls again.

235. Girls? What do you mean by that?

236. I wasn't doing that!

237. But you were acting so weird.

238. I told you that I was thinking...

239. about what would happen after this big race,

240. regardless of the outcome.

241. Don't you get what I'm saying?

242. No idea.

243. It's all a riddle to me.

244. Why do you need anything after the race?

245. You don't need anything.

246. You're already fast as it is.

247. I'm not fast.

248. Yes, you are!

249. You have an undefeated streak going.

250. I don't know.

251. I just don't know where I'm headed.

252. Can't you just focus on the big race for now?

253. You don't have much time left.

254. Ryosuke Takahashi...

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

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

257. But destiny is ever-changing

258. And charmed by innocent eyes

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

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

261. Let's enjoy our happiness...

262. Into our shining future

263. We'll prove countless times...

264. Our passion will last for eternity!

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

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

267. Bloom, my beautiful...

268. and miraculous flower

269. It's the moment of truth for your "fastest racer" theory, Ryosuke.

270. I'm looking forward to the opportunity.

271. So, what exactly is your theory?

272. 2 I'm sure you're familiar with E = mc.

273. It's Einstein's Theory of Relativity.

274. I've added my own sub-theories to it.

275. "E" symbolizes the opponent's average speed and...

276. Next on Initial D: "Akagi's White Comet!"

277. Don't miss it!
